I'm so glad there's no offline play. Still, wish we had more than 5 players per game. 16+ at least.

Eve looks great, really great on paper and trailers. What you CAN do is limitless. However actual gameplay is somewat lacking and very repetitive.

DOn't let anyone tell you otherwise, LOTRO is a great game, though not for me. It is great if you are not interested in PvP. PvE wise, it is a great game even if combat works like WoW.

The only problem is it does not live up to the epicness of the LOTR series. For the trilogy that inspired all other fantassy MMOs, I was dissapoint with LOTRO.

I played eve on and off for a LOOONG time. The biggest turn down is that while it all looks great on paper, I found actual gameplay lacking. 90% of the time is just spent between roid belts grinding endlessly. PvP may be action packed, but the PvE needed to support it is just a bore.

I think many, if not most of the haters play sandbox RPGs. WoW is fantassy themepark par excellence, it will be hard to beat that. The rest is probably either not interested in fantassy (historic/sci-fi players) or just don't like the graphics and want something more realistic (AoC anyone?).

As for me, it has been several years since I last played WoW, and I have to admit I originally found it boring with nothing much to do. That was before the dungeon finder, and there was nothing to do besides quest and grind to 60. Needless to say I never made it past 40.

I returned about a month ago, and shot to 80 within 2 weeks spamming the dungeon finder. Like the above poster, I find almost everything had changed.

Oh how very clever of you. Therefore now I suggest taking WoW's mage, giving it as much HP as a paladin, and making arcane explosion deal 100 million damage in a 1000 yard AOE.

Fact is that when it does not require skill to pwn anyone else, it needs a nerf. Which is a lot different from 'learning to play your class' like you said.

anything BUT nexon. Support is terrible, almost nonexistant, and botting problems aplenty.

Don't see how Failure Failtasy even deserves a mention.

Heh this is going to turn into a flamewar in approximally 10 seconds...

Anyway, I'd say NVIDIA if you want 3d, with gear more affordable these days. Otherwise, ATI seems to be the cheaper and more powerful option... per dollar to ounce of strength that is.

depends on what game and what kind of penalty. Eve's death penalty is a little harsh, no insurance for stuff and is the leading cause of ragequit. However it suits a game like that, risk vs reward.  I say it suits eve because you don't leave secure space, heck I dont leave empire with what I can't afford to lose.

For games like WoW, where you go around with your BEST stuff, losing all of it would be devastating. And death is pretty common. So a few minutes res sickness, having to run back to corpse and a few gold repairs is fine.

Lets face it without ANY form of death penalty, people will just die whenever, whereever they please.

I would recruit a kid into my group anyday. THey are more dedicated (usually), have more time on their hands, and are more likely to pwn.

Now my main problem with WoW is FINDING the next quest and being where I'm supposed to be. I'm hoping cataclysm fixes that.

well the main problem with WoW is that people cannot find quest hubs, link to the next quest and so on. I seem to be having a particularly hard time without the proper walkthroughs. What I want is a linear straight path to 80 so I dont end up missing a quest hub and screwing up my quest journal like last time where I had to go back a few levels to do quests so i can do higher level quests. That's the thing that makes me most excited about cataclysm. The urge of going back to WoW is stronger than ever now, as my getting lost problem is supposedly going to be solved.

I dunno wads up with the darkfall fanbois. Last I was there checkin things out they were literally doing the job of pushy car salesmen, doing the job of the PR.

I say FFXIV is gona flop worse than WoW. Don't ya worry, cataclysm will make everything all right.

Well there is always black prophecy, but those guys were behind the horrible horrible failure oh could have been so much better if they had a tiny dot of support NEOCRON 2!!!

Silverlode interactive from Saga, now making some ships game. Behind their wall of fanbois. Great game colectable card game mmorts and all, run to the ground with crap support, even crapper liar PRs and lack of any endgame content. People join and leave one month later. Doesn't matter to them none, so long as people continue to buy 'booster packs'. Oh until they stopped and just bought cards (units) off each other.

www.playsaga.com just check the forums

Official mails will always mention your name, the name that you used to sign up. Fakes will always use an impersonal manner.

dragonica. Sure it looks like crap and gameplay ain't much but it's something to cool off till my next game. Dunno, that game just makes me feel happy and at peace.

I can't stand it.

One big question, be brutally honest. Level cap of 50. How long does it take?!!! Is it a 50 day or 50 month game?

Thanks.
