This shouldn't be a sad thing. They have needed to merge servers since I stopped playing over a year ago. They said they couldn't technically do it, but I believe it was pride. SOE is the "Bagdad Bob" of the MMO world.

 For those still playing, having more people per server can only help.... for a while.

I like the new "layout", but like the old "look" better. The gray should be a little darker maybe. Everything seems washed out.

Anyone ever play the game Monopoly? Or have you only heard of it?

It's funny, the things you mention that you don't like about the site, especially the forums, is what makes the site entertaining. And you have just added your own little bit of performance for the rest of us to enjoy in some small way.

So...

Clear Skies, Sunny with a high of 102 in Flaming Skull.

Sanguine is Partly Cloudy and a 40% chance of rain in Ymir Tear.

This game has always been the essence of hack&slash grinding themepark mmo, with pvp based on pot spamming.
But actually after taking part in korean CB/OB long years ago, I was astonished with massive battle called chip wars.
No online game ever had this amount of players in 1 place.
Can you imagine almost 2k players being on 1 relatively small map at once ?!
Of course my s***y PC almost freezed, but after lowering every option to min, I was able to kill something :)

Hehe, MMO games are a bigger hit in South Korea than American Idol, football, and baseball combined in the US.

Still pisses me off that you can't be apart of a crew ( I know it would be difficult to pull that off).

The screens look nice though. Ill try it once its on Trial.

 

I think the biggest problem with this would be that everyone would want to be "Captain". How much fun would it be to play the guy that has to stand around waiting to transport the away team, sweep the corridors or cook the food? In theory, when people imagine a fully-crewed ship, it's the "other people" playing the game who would fill in the boring roles.

 

I'm surprised that this strawman argument continues to make the rounds. "Let's pick the worst possible crew position on a starship, show rightly how this would be boring, and then use that as proof that all starship crews would be boring and thus not implemented."

There's a way to design this feature that  would make it fun. All it takes is a designer and an audience with the creativity to imagine it.

For one, you WOULDN'T implement the boring positions -- the same reason you don't implement the stable boy class in Fantasy MMOs.  So there would be no transporter operator.

The Crew positions would be those such as Weapons Officer, Helm, Doctor, Engineer, etc. You know, the Iconic Star Trek Crew. If you have a ship, but not the Crew to man it, then NPC crew could take over.

Someone PM me when STO has Crewed ships with explorable interiors. Then I'll give it a try.

 

A - effing- men.

Why not let people play parts of the bridge crew, of course everyone can still have and captain their own ship, when they want to solo. Then when someone isn't playing a bridge position, get an NPC to fill the role. Then if you're playing solo, you'll have an all NPC crew.

Mabinogi is a fun game. Doesn't have all the features you mentioned but it has really nice cell shaded "cute" graphics your GF might like, and has some unique features like aging and such. It's f2p with cash shop too.

 

Oha that game is from nexon. I got some seriously bad experiences with nexon (over grinding). is it a grinder?

Being f2p would be a good indication that it will be a grinder. I only played it a month or two, the low levels seemed to move quickly enough however. I agree about the nexon games though. I didn't like any except for Mabinogi.

But hold on!!!

...actively checking our private messages?  Man, I better stop "RP-ing" in the D! 

I think they meant PMs sent to the devs on the forums.

I think most people are Libertarian at heart. But many just don't really believe they can make it happen, or even work.

"How many idiots do you no?"

Hehe, funny video. Although I find it ironic that you mention idiots but spell "know" incorrectly.

Okay maybe not nothing but very little besides the World is unfair and you have to get used to being screwed over.

 

Highschool teaches two things.

1. Political Correctness

2. Just how inefficient the government is.

Is it possible to create a girl (roleplay. honest :D ) Whats the lowest boob size like ? Is it possible to have a small female like 1.50 meter or so ? Is there clothing that is not overly sexy ? Are females able to wear male cloth ? Like a girl hiding and pretenting to be a boy ?

Got this email tonight. I had to cancel, seeing as I only still play Vsoh.
