@Yutty Trials are only good for new accounts, can't add 'em to existing accounts. I sent you a key in case you'd like to start over and see what's past Tortage.

 

So i must start a new account? I have no problem with that at all if it means I get to go past tortage and see what the game acutally offers. Did you send the key through a private message? or do you need my email adderess??

It's in your mail box here.

You would both be better to just do a search for AoC Free Trial or>>>

Buddy keys allow you to leave Tortage and see the game, the official trial does not.

Keys sent to Ganjabaker and Lucrecia. Check your PMs.

I've long been a fan of DDO, but so far after the WB takeover, everything seems to be going down instead of up.

 What are you, like three years old? You need to be convinced to play a game? Do what everyone else does and look at the video footage and read up about it.

"Convince Me to play"......Indeed....rofl...

Because video footage and reading up on something always translates to how good a game is.  Go rofl in some other thread.

 

The game seems to have the potential to be fun. The classless style was and is a huge draw for me, but like poster above mentioned there are some strange lag issues going on. I've experience the same issue with mobs. Good news is it is not released yet to so there is still time to address it.

LOL are you the OP? Just saying man just saying, your awfully offended by the quote you quoted on, "rotfl." That wasn't even something to defend back as a observer of this thread. I just thought I would say like the others research the game yourself and look at videos of the game, needing to be convinced to play a game is like asking someone to convince you to breathe. This game looks like poop btw.

Forum rules you can't post with other accounts on your thread. One account per.

I doubt he's the OP, since I was going to say basically the same thing he did. I'd rather ask other gamers than rely on edited videos and reviewers who may or may not be paid to say nice things.

Forum rules also say not to be an ass to people. Might wanna give that a shot.

They're both great for on the go. And you never have to buy any games for either of them ( both can be firmware hacked without voiding the warranty ).

DS has more game variety, PSP has better graphics. Both are internet capable, both have browsers ( the PSP is ahead in that ), both can be used as ebook readers, music/movie players, and more.

As far as RPGs, the DS is way ahead of PSP as far as titles.

Do you have a link that states this to be fact?

 

That would kind of suck, what a crappy note to go out on!

Appears they're either considering giving FF to another company or planning on making it anything other than an RPG.

At any rate, it wouldn't surprise me now if XIII killed the series.

First, one of their own devs stated befor release that FFXIII wasn't an RPG, which kinda slapped people in the face. Turned out he was basically right.

Then you had Square-Enix responding to people upset by the linear nature and particularly the lack of interactable towns instead of shops-in-a-savepoint by stating making high definiton textures for towns was too much for any dev to do with current restraints, while forgetting that the creator of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi,  who left SE to form his own company because he didn't like the direction they were taking FF, had already shown them to either be liars or incompetent by releasing his game Lost Odyssey.

Lost Odyssey, by the way, was more like FF than FFXIII ever would be. Which shows he was the real brains behind the series the whole tme. SE fucked up when they drove him off.

If you think you fit all the above, send over your resume and cover letter to editor@mmorpg.com and news@mmorpg.com with the subject line MMORPG.com News Reporter Application: (your name).  Applications without the above subject line will be discarded!

That isn't what I'm referring to. I know where to send it.

I'm trying to follow this, http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/career/guides/cover_ltr.shtml

So I do everything correctly.

Your employer would be:

Cyber Creations Inc.

And the editors name is Jon Wood.

Why would that be listed here? You don't mean like a Diablo style lobby, do you? That's not an mmorpg.

Maybe you are thinking of DungeonRunner.

The same reason Global Agenda and others are listed here, maybe?

Based on the title, I expected this would be a thread with some old geezer complaining about high insurance rates.

Instead I just find whine and QQ.

Heh, right. That's all I need -- a group of snot-nosed brats from MMORPG.com causing me grief with my customers because they didn't like something I said in a post here. Nice try, though. I appreciate your creativity.

Actually, I had a genuine desire to see some of your work as you seem so confident in its value I was sure I may find some of it to my liking. I would have refrained from mixing your projected persona into my critique of your writing, as I have met people who are even bigger assholes than you who have a particular gift with the written word.

By the way, at 37 years old, I hardly qualify as a "snot-nosed brat", as I'm sure many here don't. If you make such assumptions with your literary prose as you seemingly do here in an informal environment, then perhaps your writings would not be worthy of my time after all.

Good day, sir.

I doubht that someone who has 5 to 7 years of professional writing experience will be looking to join the MMORPG.com weekend warriors crew.

I have friends who are writers that have three or more "jobs" they work part-time.

5-7 years writing experience is what I would hire as a "junior" position. I've been a professional writer for 23 years. If I had time, I'd do it. It sounds like a lot of fun.

However, I highly doubt MMORPG.com could afford me. 

..Your modesty knows no bounds....

 

I am actually interested.  I used to write for one of those "online blogs" a few years back, but my job picked up and I couldn't handle a 40 hour work week along with writing 5 articles over various topics a week.   The pay was minimal but the experience was nice.  My schedule is a little more lax now. Chances are, the MMORPG.com staff knows me all too well from posting here and probably wouldn't hire me based on that alone.  Personally I wouldn't blame them.

It's not an question of modesty. I can't very well reduce my rate because something sounds interesting to me. If my customers find out, they all expect a similar reduction.

Besides, self-promotion is what fosters new business. Unlike many people, I don't have the luxury of getting a paycheck just because I happen to "show up" between the hours of 9-5. I don't have the luxury of doing a good job -- I must to a great job or I don't get repeat business.

It my line of work, modesty doesn't make you successful, it makes you a loser.

I'd be interested in reading some of your work. Perhaps you could give a few references to peruse?

I vote for JestorRodo.

Makes absolutely no sense.

Because people like yourself make for entertaining NPC's while us soloers are playing.

UI: a really sleek and beautifully designed UI, great art. Until you actually uses it and can't rebind very important keys, can't scale it, can't manage hot bars efficiently. There's also some of the customized UI settings that don't survive through a log off.  TRUE, at the moment you can not set the default place of your cast bar, resets after each run

 

When you enter the game next time, go into options under interface > advanced and check to show timer bars.

Now, move the bars where you want them.

Type /reloadui in chat and hit enter.

Now the bars will move back to their default place.

Once again, move them where you want them.

Once again, type /reloadui in chat and hit enter.

They will stay where you put them now.

You can then uncheck the show timer bars box in the optiions.

The bars will not reset when you logout.

There ya go.

 

That does work, but it kind of encapsulates AoC in terms of this discussion - lack of polish.  Yes, the game is now finished it is just rough around the edges with many similar annoyances like the one above.  Not the worst thing ever to be sure, but it is noticable and does take away from the game as a whole.

I just posted to help the guy. Wasn't arguing for or against.

"which game isn't nowadays"

Nope, don't see ftp mentioned in that line.

That line was written as a follow up to the game mentioned before which is F2P -.- 

If you didn't know anything about the game why would you assume it's p2p ?

The way you worded it leads people to believe you were talking about MMO's in general, whether or not the one you were talking about is F2P or not. You should've said "but which F2P game isn't nowadays." 

Gotta think of every aspect of what you're trying to get across when you speak on the internet, otherwise you're gonna get nitpicked and butthurt. 

That makes me a nitpickin' butthurter.
