1 word : Grinder

2 words: Korean Grinder.

The only games I have played that were not mmo's over the last few years are:  Fallout 3, Fable 3 & Mass Effect. Dragon Age is by far the best. In fact I just woke up, checking all my mmo sites whhile I have coffee then it'll be back to DA:O.

Awesome game....no other way to describe it.

STO ? :P

if it is then you are actually allowed to say your in but thats it.

Gratz

They have ruined it for everyone.

well from what has been said on the boards is that they are going to rampup beta invites, But it is not going to be just the paid first. The line is long and everyone has to wait till it is thier turn. paying to get it does not make your first in line , I wish it did :)

 

Actually they just confirmed that those that purchased the 6 month/Lifetime for CO will be the getting in first.

We don't have an invite schedule set in stone just yet, but people who signed up for a lifetime or six-month subscription will most likely get invited to test the game first.

Actually that post is over a month old and he has since recanted that statement. However they have said that paid beta keys will be amongst the first to get in....eventually.

I'm a lifetime subber here and still no invite....so waiting patiently.

I'm still waiting...lifetimer here. However thay have stated that even if you are garaunteed a beta slot that you may not be in the first wave or two as they ramp up their concurrent user count. But you will eventually get in.

That cracked me up. CCP you R awesome!!!

Now thats a work environment I could get in to.

Bravo CCP.

The game you seek doesn't exist yet unfortunately.

Well as upset as I was about the patch at least this shows their starting to listen to the players.

I'll be sticking with the game because it is a lot of fun and I have had a blast with character creation, you can literally get caught up creating your toon and then notice that you've just spent 45 minutes creating him /her.

Have to to say this is such a breath of fresh air from fantasy games.

Champions Online get a 8/10 from me.

Part of the reason for limited number of sub - specials was to limit the number of people that would be garaunteed beta access to STO.

Why is everyone on the MMORPG forums so negative lately. It seems like everyone hates everything.  OMG this game SUCKS anyone who plays it is a complete loser......blah blah blah.

I remember joining these forums a few years back and really enjoying coming here for info on my prefered style of gaming....MMO's. Over the past few months maybe a year it seems like everyone here either has an agenda because THEY are playing the best game and all others suck , or because only THEY know what the best games are going to be and the rest of us are clueless.

Can these people really be that angry at the world?  Did someone cut off their meds?

Why can't we come here and discuss intelligently the pros and cons of different games. Let's get these forums back to what they were intended to do. Help shape a community and hopefully have a small impact on what gaming companies think and consider when designing their next game.

Flame away.

I was hardly romantising drugs...considering I've never used them. I was meerly trying to point out Biowares tactic or approach to gaming and the effects there methods are having.

Are you saying that anyone who ever used the term evercrack was a drug user?

Adolescent? I'm 40 so not sure how you worked that out.

Can you say forum troll?

It is absolutely important. How many of us click through the npc wall of text crits as fast as possible so we can get to the next step of the quest. I know that when some epic quests were voiced I actually listened to the entire thing and really enjoyed those quests. I often found myself often wishing the next quest was more of the same, only to be dissappointed to be clicking away frantically to get to the next step.

I for one am looking forward to them drawing us into their world.

Now that certaining doesnt mean I can live without all the other elements I also love about MMOs. Lets just hope Bioware doesnt forgo them.

First we had Evercrack.....now, Biometh.

If people thought Everquest was to gamers what crack was to junkies ...well Bioware the entire company is our new drug.

Thats the feeling you get once you`ve gotten over an addiction to Mass Effect, only to realize that Dragon Age is just down the street at the next corner. A little further down the road they`ve gotten Mass Effect 2. Then on the other side of town they`ve got all the fancy lights ready for their next big party to introduce us to TOR.

Upon completing Mass Effect I realized they really do get you with the story driven elements of their gameplay. I could hardly wait to play the game again and again untill it was complete. Even then I went through the game again making different choices at different points I felt to be significant. They really pull you into the game world they set out before you.

Dragon Age looks even more fantastic than Mass Effect. Let us all not forget that Mass Effect 2 is coming soon. Now Bioware is entering the MMO market only to bring us their addictive drug all day long, ever day of the week, ever week of the year.

Welcome to the world of Biometh. Tread carfully friends for you may be the next junkie.

I love Bioware.

Amazing......

CCP shows it's brilliance.

I am in awe of this idea, I can not wait to take part in this game and help shape the eve universe in a planet side battle.

THANK YOU CCP!!!!!

Keep the innovation coming.

I used to be one of those guys that thought all the real serious gameplay is done on a pc and the sports and other crap are done on consoles. I changed over the past year when I played Mass Effect, Fable 2 and Fallout 3 on my Xbox 360. Now I also build a new gaming rig every second year so I consider myself a serious gamer. I also just bought a new gaming laptop so that when I am away on business trips I can still play, HP HDX 16 (core 2 duo, 4g ram, 512 mb 9600 gt).

I started out playing Desert Combat on a PC and that lead to me becoming an MMO junky for the last serveral years, starting with Anarchy Online then onto EQ2 and then Eve Online. I also tried Tabula Rasa, AoC, War and every other game everyone here has tried except WoW (could never get into the cartoon thing).

My point is that I absolutely love what CCP is doing here. Mixing together 2 games to impact each other in one universe, allthough in 2 seperate raelms. I am not sure why the console only thing but maybe it was to open up the game to a new audience. Maybe throw in a little .... better to consentrate on one platform.....who knows.

At the end of the day I love the mixing of the 2 genre's as well as the 2 platforms.....this IS revolutionary and WE should embrace it because if it works, it will lead to some really cool new ideas being thought of and tried instead of the ever lasting release of hamster wheels that we currently are bombarded with.

Kudos CCP ..... you guys are simply BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol yeah lets let the big companies spoon feed our next 10 years of mmos instead. If we support the smaller companies we might actaully stand a chance of getting something new and innovative.

I agree 150% with this.

I'm not sure why so many people are whinning about the price of a game. If you don't want to buy it....don't, simple really. Why on earth they feel it necessary to go from forum to forum complaining amazes me. You abvious have nothing better to do with your time.....go play a f2p mmo, there are lots of them out there.

I chose to purchase the LE version of the game. Does anyone ever stop to explain that the price includes freight and the BIGGEST thing people forget is that ALL future expansions will be FREE. You know how much money I dumped on EQ2 with the 8 thousand expansions?

Play what you want to play, but for the love of god get over the price of the game.

I managed to get a Limited Edition copy ....... $119 Cdn.

I had recently re-installed the game and went back for the 14 re-trial and I have been pleasantly suprised. I originally had the Col Edition of the game and canceled after my initial 3 month sub do to the numeruos problems with the game. I was suprised to see a lot of new content and more importantly that I can run the game reliably now. I may actually re sub, we'll see.
