ZORK 2010: "The Wizard Returns"

                                                      The Graphics are AWESOME!!

Suddenly, a 1970's Game Show Buzzer sounds.

Audience: "Awwww..."

Gameshow Host: "I'm sorry. Let us spin the wayback machine wheel and it lands...  slowly...  on GEnie.

Audience applause, and...  cut to commercial.

What a strange dichotomy of odd and opiniated factoids coming through the ether .... net.

First, this is aimed at our estemed author in question... 

Fact #1:  MMOs are close to reaching their 20th Anniversary? 

Interesting fact if that were a true statement. While I could reseach the historical/pertinent data and prove your statement in error, I don't think I'm in the quite in the mood at the moment.  The reason?  Do your own damn reasearch.  After all, you're receiving a paycheck or two, including one from The Boss Right Here in River City.

I have so have a thing against your stated optimism.  We all want our ships to anchor off your writer 's island of  fine white beach and have you proclaim to the universe in general, "See? I am the seeker and you are a mere jester of mmo procrastination." 

More Rum, please.

However, I reach into the point of basic mmorpg negativity when I constantly hear of company bankruptcies, employee firings (pardon me, downsizings) reaching into the thousands that we all hear about today.  The sandbox may not be as attractive as it may appear to be a sandbox of desperation, or kiitty dung.  Either way, it's a win-win for someone anyway.

I do not comment often, as you can see, but there are times when we must put down our heyboard and other assorted newly introduced methods of interactivity.  You know, fun stuff. I do hope you're right in your visions.  This is the stuff of entertainment, love, and endless hours online doing.... something...

The PC161 is definetily on my Official Wish List!

Scott has always been a class act creator. I remember those days in 1987+.

The name "Max" should give you a little hint, buddy. I look forward to your latest thing.

I commend you for having your 5 year old having "fun." Hey, what the hell,
right?

Fun Is Fun and he is most likely one of the Future Gamers. Fun can't hurt, after all,

EVE vs STO:

Ptooey on them BOTH!

Gold Farms & (ahem) "Excange" among Clans, Friends, & especially -- sall we say "Social Engeneering"

GEEZ!  C'MON!

 Been Their Done That - Games are fun, but some are a "RICO" - Google It.

Does anyone remember GEnie (aka General Electric network for information exchange)?

"You Young Pup!" - From Captain Picard. Ooops, from "Dune"

Hi All,

Two Comments:

(1) MMORPGs are, of course, the da Bee's Knees.

(2) MMOs is one issue, obviously.   However:

(a) There is a dichotomy between "playing the Game and common online MMO social courtesy; and,

(b) Has anyone just asked this person, in a descent kind of way, "Is there something I can help you with?." Most likely a skatoliical response may happen but if not --working with them -- IN A SOCIAL APPROACH!

Yes, it is a long time in development and that is absolutely fine with me. 

The Name of the Game: Get It Right.

  Star Trek. You idiotic morons are on my "dead to me" list.

An intelligent and cogent message that you wrote, aside from a little scatalogy, but those were well deserved indeed.

I obviously have also joined the "official" Dead to Me List which, if the President, CEO, COO and Board of Directors (and Investors) have any neurons present in their Simmian Brains. However, I tend to doubt that. And on top of that, they suckered Paramount into thinking that Cryptic was the best company for their honorable franchise. Um, Duh!

Paramount:  Perhaps you should stick to making movies. You'll do better.

Greetings,

Yeah, I am certainly on an early morning I.V. Drip Coffee Rant and (Last Msg: Honest!) - it is what it is. Some agree and others do not, I can accept that, really.

I'm an Old (Meaning Old as in Age) hard-core Fan of Trek and I've seen them all. I also had the profound privilege of being one of 100 Volunteers for the 25th Anniversery of Star Trek at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

Great Badges! Great Gifts!

When the exhibit closed, there was a 10 PM Evening Party at NASM attended by such individuals as the Director NASM, Majel Barrett and Mark Leonard. God Rest Their Souls.

As you can assume by my fervor for this license as well as our true history in the real world, I had to state my anger as well as my (yes) opinion on these issues. I had to.

This Forum will be very interesting indeed...

You have to be kidding. Really...

Again to state the obvious in today's news:

"Stsr Trek Online: Addresing "Some" Complaints."

There are Good Games and Bad Games. This game is Trash.

Oh Cryptic, you have suckered us into purchasing your "product" via D2D.

I have written (count 'em) SIX times to your illustrious company. Each and every time, I received a "fix" or a brand spanking new "ticket" only to ask for another and another, ad nauseum.

Finally, after my final plea for help, they had the absolute balls -- pardon me -- to gloriously announce that if I did not respond via voice (customer service for a minimum of 30 minutes+) or e-mail and wait for several days for yet another "ticket" sincerely "apologizing" for their delay because they are so so very busy. I drew the line in the ST:O sand.

I will both visit USBank, with documentation in hand as well as file a scathing Better Business Bureau complaint. I'm quite sure that Cryptic have cubicles galore manned with personnel (minimum wage, of course) to deal with what they stated:

Oh yes, I forgot:

"Addressing Some Complaints"

Cryptic has placed ST:O into the HALL OF SHAME & Paramount was also stupid enough to license their long-lasting Holy Grail to this "company."

For Shame.

MMORPG & MYTHIC GANG:

WELL DONE INDEED!

My account was hacked as well several EQ versions/updates ago as well.

I contacted EQ ASAP and received the typical run-around which basically required me to show reams of proof that I am not a Liar. I wrote back, stating that I had a dedicated ISP and alll they had to do was check, even furnishing my ISP number.

All Customer Service had to do was check. But nooooo.

Thanks for all the Fish! Sheesh...

Maxximus

C'mon...

I like these Guys/Gals/Etc, But... Nah...
