Here's a novel Idea, how about booting jackarsess for foolishness like Verant used to do. Don't get me wrong..I'm a strong proponent of personal rights...long as they don't infringe upon mine. Somewhere along the way people forgot playing these games was a privilege not a right. You want to be a jerk do it in the comfort of you're own home. |

I have to go with Fanbois / Fangirls on this one since Trolls are easily identifiable and summarily dismissed. Fanbois are infinitely more dangerous since they usually latch onto the current FOTM or whatever's the most popular. What's worse is there's usually hundreds of them on the same message board. Mistakenly they think numbers lend credibility to their outlandish claims. Honestly..blind loyalty of anything is both foolish and counter productive. No one title is the best at everything ( you're favorite included) or we'd ALL be playing it. |

If you'd ever tried EQ1's raid game you wouldn't be asking this question. Pre Burnning Crusade I did every raid encounter save Naxx in WOW. Everything to that point was about Scars of Velious difficulty level in EQ1. |

While I've not played AOC personaly I'm wondering where the Vitriol is comming from. If these figures are in fact true this is a huge milestone for Funcom. It's almost like people are scared of something. At anyrate congrats are in order. You don't reach that many sales by producing garbage. ZV |

While CoX is a great game Champions has the potential to be huge. Titles that have pre-established lore have a big headstart. I'm betting Jack & Co have learned from their past mistakes (I5 & ED debacle) and will deliver an excellent title. While I wish they hadn't decided on Cell Shading it does fit the comic book theme. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.. |

Originally posted by CaesarsGhost Yes I'd be interested to know where these figures come from as well. I know some regular high end programers that made cheese like that but not regular Artists, Audio engineers, Designers or Producers. That's far above what I was making and that's after 5 years at one company. I suspect the numbers got skewed a bit.. |

No All MMORPG's don't suck it's the childish brats that make them suck as you say. Ever heard of the word honor? Back in the day griefers were hunted down and slaughtered like game and rightfully so. The problem is as society has taken a down turn MMO behavior has followed suit. Look I love PVP but other than a few titles like DAOC & GW for instance by and large it's been handled quite poorly. Take some lawless brat who can play for hours accumulating high end PVE gear. Next put Him / Her in a guild with like minded dopes= bad news. I agree with a previous posters idea of NPC squads that actively hunt down these deviants. Towns where these types are KOS heck even bounties on their heads. While Anarchy sounds cool in theory it can never be. Remember pure lawlessness = Chaos and action without consiquence is completely at odds with the concept of MMO's. Old school tactics that rely on honor mean nothing to this new generation of players hence stronger deterents are in order. |

Originally posted by SonofSeth Actually both sides get tiresome. #1 WOW doesn't suck ...actually it's fun and great for those new to MMO's #2 WOW isn't the greatest MMO ever made...most subscribers doesn't = best. Now..I don't know if this is still the case but at one time WOW offered a 14 day trial available..I mean what better way to decide for oneself than that. |

I'l' give 3 a whirl for sure.. Aion, TCOS & Jumpgate Evo. However I'm still on the fence regarding AOC. I was reading something about allot of zonning in AOC and if that's true i'll likely pass. |

While I think this xp thingy is great for prospective new players it means little for us vets. I have 4 level 50 characters and always saw the rough XP curve as a right of passage. In all honesty once you hit the 40's on a great team the XP just flies by anyways. Truth be told CoX isn't that difficult a game in the first place. Was there even a outcry for this XP smoothness change? |

Originally posted by Wicoa Yes they do and the reason is two fold. A) If you're a dope in either you'll end up pretty lonely since groups will drop you like a rock. Translation act a jerk you'll see little progress and no AV battles. B) The communities of both titles established pretty early that type of behavior wasn't gonna fly. Yes there are still plenty of decent / mature people who play MMO's young and old alike. |

No doubt that I'll give JE a shot. I've been waiting forever for a faster paced Sci Fi MMO. While I liked EVE it's pace was just to slow and plodding for my tastes. |

My problem with POTBS was two fold and I stand by my opinions.. A) The Swashbuckling was clunky and odd. B) The Avator models looked like crap. To be fair I found the ship battles fun, but that's besides the point. In short never take anyone's word here or anywhere else as law. Always..ALWAYS give a title you're curious about a fair shot. |

Originally posted by nariusseldon I highly doubt you're interaction would be that limited. I suspect you'd be tasked to rescue minor heroes and have missions assisting signature ones. Not to mention missions battling minor and supervillans alike. If done correctly a Marvel MMO could be huge. Imagine comic flashback story arcs like the Infinity Gauntlet or Weapon X origins. Heck even ties to current comic story arcs woud be nifty. ZV. |
