Its still not as bad as cross server pugs - the ones that poeple would drop out if there is any slight hiccup in the npc slaughter.  At least with rift you have to make an effort to join a group - this leads to people more likely staying in the group and less likely to ninja a rare and dropping out.

O and the jerks you delt with is not a WoW issue, or even a MMO one, it's what happens everytime you make communications anonymous or semi-ananymous.  It happens on every chat room, forum, comments sections of articles, online games, etc.  The reality it that for the most part people are assholes who only play nice because society says they have to or they can't be a part of that society.

I dont thing the lag is fixable in a near future...the problem is deep in the core of the game...the game cant handle more then a few people online doing different stuff including terraforming...to play without lag they must put a hard cap of max online players of 100, if more people are playing at the same time the server starts to lag like crazy.

He should either get more people with experience to solve the problem fast or go the minecraft way, let the game have private servers run by players with a max of 100 players online at most.

 

Xsyon was suposed to be a sandbox with everyone playing in the same gigantic world, then after the first or second failed launch they decided to later make another server because they cant handle many players online, the truth is they cant have a true mmorpg game with these sandbox features running with more then ~100 players.

 

In 1 week time if they dont rollback again..and there are many villages, cut down trees, holes in the ground, walls everywere, mobs, pvp etc the server will be a lag feast....it becomes a lag feast even 12 hours afte a rollback.

 Thats quite possible. Are you speaking from personal knowledge?

Hopefully a solution prevents itself. If not, oh well.

 ^^ Wait, I'm confused? So you do hope the game fails ??

** A freudian typo I assume, but still hilarious considering the context of the argument. **

 

I played for roughly 2 weeks with the high-hopes that this game was going to be all that the developers promised.  Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for me) I realized the error in my ways, and was able to get a refund 1 day prior to "pre-launch" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean anyways...)

The first MMO that I ever played and the only one I ever loved was SWG.

Every mmo since has been purchased by me in a vain attempt to recreate what I had with SWG, and so far all have failed to do so miserably.

I don't understand the hatred or flaming of WoW or Rift players. Those guys take more abuse than anyone. 

 Its because some people think that WoW players are only assholes online.  I came to the realization awhile ago that most humans, including myself, are douchebags in one way or another.  The internet just allows them to be that way without societies normal consequences.

It not just WoW players that suck, take look at ANY online forum or message board and you will find that between all of the advertising spam they are full of racist, sexist, homoerotic comments.

My recommendation to anyone getting upset about it is to take a deep breath and stop worrying about what all the assholes in the world have to say.

Xsyon really does take some getting used to. I initially considered requesting a refund, until I explored, tested and PLAYED the game. It's hard to explain, the first impressions aren't fantastic, but it sucks you in and now personally.. I can't get enough.

 

Fantastic game.

 Yeah, same for me too.  I was sitting there and trying to decide if I would buy ER or Xsyon, took the plunge and bought Xsyon.  At first I was like Jesus, another 40 down the drain for yet another bad mmo, but after about the 3rd time I logging in I was hooked, will I spend countless hours in the Lake Tahoe Basin?  Problably not as much as other mmos ive played.   But I now do not feel in the least bit ripped off.  This game has potentail, and dare I say that when I was foraging and looking for scraps, it started felling alittle like setting up mineral farms on Tattoine.

This game has its flaws and clearly isnt a AAA game with millions spent in developement, but is extremely interesting to me and one I will keep on my harddrive for the forseeable future.

O yeah, reset the server already!

*Edited for spelling.

Im pretty sure the founders deal goes to anyone who creates a trion account before the 15th of March.  I do not think it requires preordering the game.

I preordered this game from Walmart in order to get the boxed version and I get to join the head start.  There was no discount or anyhting for the preorder.  Although I did get a pet I think.

The NGE is what made me pass on DCUO and every other SOE game since.  Maybe I need to get over it, but I doubt I ever will.  SOE pissed all over me and I will never forgive them for that.

Im going to give it a shot too.  I can remember another space themed sand box I so dearly loved that got ruined - heres to hoping Earthrise can fill my scifi sandbox hole that has been left untouched for the last couple of years.

The RVR pack was the expansion.  I bought the pack then quit playing after about a week.  I did not like the changes and with Cataclysim coming out I figured there was no real reason to continue playing WAR.

If next years games all fail I might make WAR my second MMO along with WoW, but right now WoW and Global Agenda is enough.  Although Im not entirely sure WAR will still be populated enough to have fun with RvR next Christmas.

Enough said I think.

I dont understand mindset of hackers.  It reminds me of kids I knew when I was young who would use cheat codes for single player games so they could get past certain difficult spots.  I always wondered why you would buy a game then porceed to completly ruin the challenge by hacking or uses cheats.  For me the fun in games is the challenge, not mindlessly killing helpless mobs with infinate health and ammo.

Personally I hate hackers, they have ruined every FPS game to come out in the last 5 years for me.

I will be rerolling on one of the new pvp servers.

The first one I can remember playing was an arcade game call Out Run.  It's was a racing game, blew lots of quarters on it at the corner market that had a couple of arcade games.

Until someone is able to reduce the amount hackers this game will not be worth seriously playing - F2P or not.

I like WAR's combat too.  But for me the perfect MMO would have to incorporate FPS aspects.  It is hard to do this obviously, APB and Global Agenda tried and failed, although they really can't be considered mmo's.  In fact I would consider a game like Battlefeild 2 more MMO like then they are/were.

I think if someone ever pulls off an AAA openworld-FPS mmo it would be a game changer for all mmo's/games.  Of course once they made the perfect game aim botters would ruin it.

I know APB crashed and burned, but I would still like to see a true grand theft auto style sandbox mmo.  where you could roam the city and really do anything you want.

Something like the V-world on Caprica.

meh they can do whatever they want to RVR, unless they fix how sloppy/laggy the UI is i'll never return again. 

- an mmo should feel smooth, this one does not. 

 I have not had sloppy/lag issues since a few months after launch. 

Have you tried the game in the last year or so or are you just rehashing old launch problems?

Alot of games now require a steam account - otherwise I would not have one.  I prefer boxed games.
