To me this expansion came out of nowhere feels like it was yesterday they announced it, didnt cost me a cent and was a nice addition.

bump

Looking for pilots interested in lowsec pvp/pve.

New and experienced pilots are welcome, we operate in a relatively safe region of New Eden which makes missioning a viable source of income but pvp is always around the corner for those looking to get their hands dirty. 

We are a smaller corp with lots of friends, which means we are able to give guidance to those in need of it and teach you how to say "YARR!".

If you are interested, plz pm me your ingame name and i will be in contact shortly.

Feel free to post questions.

If u start a new character it would take 27 days to be able to fly a smartbombing battleship, ur never too late

I wasn't suggesting that to create a MMORPG with better socialization we had to return entirely to the old ways, but I do feel we've thrown the baby out with the bath water so to speak and players might find that reasonable downtime or travels would improve socialization and interaction. Of course, I realize some follks (OK, apparently many of them) don't play MMORPG's for their social aspects, they're looking for a "game" rather than a world so it comes down of course to a matter of taste.

But I do reject the argument there isn't enough time. Haven't seen anyone yet who was more time challenged then I (some were about equal) and still I prefer games with deeper playing mechanics even if it takes more time to get to the end. (whatever the end really is)

For all the claims about how much fun the new mechanics are, it seems to me players are less satisfied and generally play for shorter periods of time in any one game more than ever before.  They hop from game to game, back and forth seraching for the fun. Once they exhaust the content they move on, and those who tend to stay on usually say a big reason is because their friends or guild are playing so they're really there for the socialization, and not the gameplay.

I  know everyone agrees that we don't all have to like the same things, however I still think a pretty amazing MMORPG could be made that would draw a good portion of subscribers if only Developers would break away more from the current MMORPG mold that so many try to copy.  Unfortunately when designing games swinging for the park fence seems to be the only way to go so they try on include all the features they think appeals to a particular large segement of the market in hopes of luring them away.

 

I agree and disagree.

Here's what I think is(was) being missed by current and old school developers.

People don't go to the grocery store to meet people.

People don't sit in the lobby while their car is worked on to meet people.

And they certainly don't roll the window down at the light to chat with the person in the car next to them.  Unless she's Liv Tyler, or the person cut them off, or both.

You may recognize the parallels I'm drawing, here.  None of those things are natural environments for socialization, so even what little social interaction that occurs in those states doesn't feel very "social".

But they do go places TO meet people.  And those places are lacking in most MMO's.  Or are at least lacking in DRAW to those places.

In most MMO's, cities are just quest hubs with sell-off merchants, and they sell the same stuff in every town.  Here and there you have special vendors, for rep items and stuff.  But once you've been to one city, you've for the most part been to them all in terms of vendors, townsfolk, and your interactions with them. 

LotRO, for example...

Give players a reason to sit down in the Prancing Pony, or to dance outside by the boar fountain.  SWG did this(and subsequently ruined it) with Entertainer buffs.  Give "entertainees" a tip jar, and make entertaining a "hobby".  Make dancing a "hobby".  Make the drinks Butterburr sells USEFUL.  etc, etc.  Listen to music, drink bevvies for X minutes, gain "hope" for Y minutes.  Make some practical use of the MIDI music system...

But IMO, using the older systems of memorizing, slow recovery, long travel, etc. just reminds people of long, dull road trips, and waiting for the pizza to come out of the oven.

This ^ i would buy

Sure

We are still looking for new members.

Silver Octopus Is still looking for new players who want to get into EVE fast. All players welcome! We do mining operations and different kinds of friendly pvp tournaments! Contact Insta Maschine ingame if you are interested.

do i have to buy this game to play it?

hehe, i got confused

Haven't read most of the posts here but I was thinking that this whole no info thing is just some kind of marketing scheme. The whole darkfall game is a bit of a mystery and everybody loves mysterys, right?

Savin up for my cruiser, any help appreciated :), im "Qucl"

I know you are talking about "world of warcraft" and not "warcraft", but try keeping them apart. ;P

A friend of mine got rather nostalgic the other day and started playing an old MMORPG that we used to play, it's called "Dransik" and has a pvp that looks alot like the one in Runescape, where you loose your items if you die.

The graphics are really "old school" but the gameplay is awesome and the game f2p, just something to look into while waiting for Darkfall.

Edit: It might be a bit old for some ppls taste, and the number of players is probably low, on the other hand it doesnt take long to install it, like 5 sec

I lol'd inside

In your situation i'd go with EvE all the way, and it seems like you haven't tried it (or I cant find it in your "little" list there) so why not give it a shot?

Oh, and grats!
