 Played Ryzom the most follow by Guild Wars. The poll doesn't have Ryzom as an option, though.

I already have my sandbox - Ryzom. Nevertheless I'll most likely play Darkfall too.

 In my opinion Eve's fatal flaw is that it just takes too much time to become a viable participant. I've tried it around 7 times, lasting just under 2 weeks at the most. I guess it just isn't for me.

 Guild Wars...free to play once you've bought a copy of the game.

 Guild Wars is what you make of it. I played solely PvE for over a year. Now when I play it's usually just PvP. Many do both. 

Nowhere is it advertised as a PvP-only game, so I'm not sure what the issue is?

 To all the people who insult runescapes graphics I say: Have you played it recently since the graphical updates or are you judging it by the old engine? IMHO Runescape is rivalling WoW or even some of the modern MMOs such as Age of Conan in terms of graphics these days.

 LMFAO!!

A "please" may help with the motivation - just a thought.

 Then Ryzom is your game 

You should think of giving Ryzom a try. It's free for now, so I suggest you create an account and download it while you still can!

It's the best sandbox MMO out there in my opinion. There's so much to do and crafting is awesome. For a 4 year old game the graphics are breathtaking. You can check out my profile for some screenies. 

Many descibe it as the game they're been looking for all these years yet overlooked for some reason.

 Because the developers didn't want to let you. As to why it bothers you, only you know that. 

Problem solved.

 There is something seriously wrong with your PC, OP. Mine is nothing special and takes around 3-4 minutes to load.

u say its the intent behind it there was none i made a character called pointless profanity i thought it would be ironic if i was to swear without any reason and it was in ac chat besides that wasnt the main reason i started this thread i just wanted to no if i can get life time ban for things like these and i played for near 3 years now and havent got banned until last week

Unless you have some sort of strange condition that results in uncontrollable swearing, you were swearing with intent. Come on...for a 28 year old one would expect a little more maturity in this situation.

Considering you've played for 3 years now, one would expect you to know the rules. Just think about it logically. Did you honestly believe that ArenaNet wouldn't mind pointless swearing? If you didn't, then you still have no argument as the EULA is there for a reason.

P.S. A little punction in your posts would be nice, as they're rather hard to read.

 Ryzom, which isn't on the list..

 Well firstly, the fact that you find it unfair that you were banned for such offenses is rather laughable. EULAs are there for a reason. If you're going to call your characters silly names that are logically going to get you banned, then proceed to swear it's obvious you aren't going to be the most popular person on earth.

You do realise that silly little spam filters don't block everything? Misspelled swear words easily pass through the system. It may have even been something you said that they just categorise as swearing. On top of it all, it's not the actual word that's wrong, it's the intent behind the word. I think it's pretty logical that " **** "  is a swear word. Whether you see the actual word or not the point is that you were swearing. The filter isn't there to end all spamming, it's a method of softening the "blow."  

I have an idea. Instead of the playerbase adapting to you, try adapting to it. Unforunately for you you're playing ANet's game - not the other way around. It's not a democracy. If they say no, it means no. I happen to agree with them.

 The large majority of popular builds on PvX Wiki have descriptions and guides on how to use them...

Thanks for adding it to the list!

Was there always a starter island?I remember trying this game on release and it was Sooooooooooo bad i deleted it maybe faster than any game i ever deleted.First impressions are huge and there is no way a game has it's selling point as "Wait till later it gets good HONEST :D".A game and it's mechanics/looks are set in place right out of the gate,so no way i can believe this game changes anything past the start?

Has the game changed from the very beginning of it's release?that was the game i remember as being aweful,sorry but i have to tell it like it is/was.Maybe there is some noobie island that doesn't do the game justice,that is why i am asking as i really don't know because i didn't give the game much effort or time at all.

 

I haven't been there from the beginning, but from what I know the starter island was not there from the beginning. They added it quite a bit after initial release.

I'm sorry, but you can't just assume that those figures are correct.

Secondly, the chances of someone with a problem posting is far greater than someone who is not experiencing a problem simply because of the fact that they are experiencing a problem and need help with it.

Also, I doubt Ryzom has 300 000 players all of a sudden (according to your math (2% = 6000 people). If it did it wouldn't have failed in the first place, so your numbers need a little work.

I'm not denying there's a problem, but the scale on which you're making it out to be is far greater than what it really is. I've never heard of such a problem in my life.

You didn't read carefully. Many posted having the same problem ONLY WITH Ryzom.

I know you want more users to build the dying community, but don't discount truth in order to achieve that goal. It is similar to a preacher discounting science to get members. Once the people arrive, they find out for themselves anyway; you merely waste their time.

What on Earth are you going on about? No one is saying that it's not working. But it's quite logical that this is clearly not happening with anyone.

The "many" people experiencing the problem is a very small percentage of the community. Why should the devs alter the client so that that small portion of people can play? Obviously there's some sort of conflict on your system with Ryzom. It's rather naive to think that they'd do such a thing. They're running a business after all.
