Were you playing mmos in the late 1990s, early 2000s? K, it's your fault *wink*

Play console games then, THAT is what they are for. Instant gratification. Taking a long period of time in MMORPG's (Hence why companies started monthly fees to get more money out of the player I am imagining) is what separates the genre's. Now they are being meshed together by "instant gratification" players like you, destroying the genre. Flame away, I know some won't disappoint on this site.
You're telling me that because 'gamers like me' that didn't like waiting for a spawn hours or days on end, generally because the timer was horrible, or because some asshat that is likely only camping it for a drop, manages to steal before we have a chance.. You're saying that 'gamers like me' that don't find that fun ruined the genre? Get over yourself. The genre has evolved to appease to the masses, I think research will tell you there there are more casual gamers out there than their are hardcore, and publishers are going to produce games that appeal to a larger audience. And in regards to your "stick to console argument", that's not new, nor is it valid! There is no social value or in-game economy value (for crafters), nor grouping mechanics in single player console games. No one invididual's gaming preference, mine included, is greater than anyone elses. If you don't like the newer games, play old EQ, or old UO, and let those that actually enjoy instances and 'Fun Now, not hours from now' enjoy their style of MMO. |

Could give GE: Sword of the New World a new try as well. |

I don't forsee a change, nor do I want to... I would hate to log in to a game hoping to finish a quest, down a MOB, only to have someone else beat me to it and have to wait hours to try again. As much as people claim to hate Instances, the point behind them is you get to have fun NOW... You don't have to get pissed off, and frustrated and log out only to potentially repeat the frustration hours later when someone ELSE beats you to that quest MOB. |

I don't know about releasing this year, but both TERA and C9 look like they have potential. IMO |

Wikipedia has this to say about Derek Smart: Derek Smart has become known in the gaming community for making aggressive and lengthy online replies to criticism of his work, leading to heated and protracted discussions on Usenet and game forums.[6] In an interview which was featured on the cover page of Computer Gaming World, Smart said of his online persona: "Sometimes when I get online, and it's quiet, and I see something that attracts my attention, I'll post just to piss these guys off. That's why I do it. Because I'm in a good mood that day, I go in there and I start trouble."[2] A case history about the troubles and problems Mr. Smart encountered during the development of his flagship game, BattleCruiser 3000AD, commented that "... almost everyone would agree that he is probably the best known, most divisive personality ever to participate in an online gaming community."[7]
Why would ANY company bring on a guy that ADMITS to trying to piss people off??? Yeah, that's smart business, and good customer service... RIP Alganon. |

I saw nothing wrong with your posts, other than nothing to back up your points, but that's no reason for a ban... Maybe they are banning you for the use of the word Craptari.... Sure it's immature of you to use that word, but I'd say it's even more immature of them to act like babies and ban you for it, IF that's the reason they banned you. Two wrongs don't make a right.. (and please don't use that in reference to flaming their 'two games' you keep going on about) |

I have an active sub to Aion, and a lifetime to LOTRO, so for me it's both... with that said I take long breaks from both of them because I get burnt out easily... Gamers ADD I suppose. |

What do you like to eat or drink while playing MMORPG's?

I don't like to eat while gaming.. I take breaks for that. But I'll drink tea, or coffee when gaming. |

Fantasy Earth Zero: Beta Begins Tomorrow!
News Discussion « General Discussion 3/03/10 1:05:54 AM
I'll give it a go.... Just recently tried out Mabinogi and although it's okay it's slow starting out and hasn't drawn me in yet. I've always been a fan of SE and don't mind the dated PS2 looking anime style graphics.... Let's hope it's fun. |

If interested in getting into early testing of this game you are required to share information with others, by posting a link for them to sign up: Each person that signs up under your link gains you one credit, if 7 people sign up using your link, then you can trade those 'credits' for an activation code. If interested feel free to use my link if you like send me a message and I'll email you the link, and then post that you also have a link that you want folks to email you for.
(Edited, have never posted a referral link before, and haven't read TOS since I signed up for MMORPG years ago) |

For me this is true... Just because I put on some scrubs and a mask (at halloween or any other time) doesn't make me proficient in patient treatment and healthcare, yet from what I'm reading this is EXACTLY how 'classes' will work in FFXIV... I'll pass. |

Bad toon names vs Good toon names.....
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 2/21/10 2:14:45 PM
I have to say that I too, will often times disregard folks with Leet names, or ripped off character names, I agree with the poster above, Drizzt, Raistlin, Legolas, Aragorn, Cid, Cecil, Rosa, Sephiroth (Any Final Fantasy name really) are just unoriginal. And a lot of the leet names, aren't really that original either... But now-a-days almost every name has been used by many, so there aren't that many original names left. I use these names all the time, and I've seen a few of them used by other players as well (marked in asteriks): Emeraq, Solaira, Soladrian, Soladriel, Solaribeth, *Klane, *Lokar, *Vane, Greenthorne (this one probably isn't original, I think I altered it from Silverthorne), *Lifon, *Rhona, Morraien, *Thalen, Laraelia. To me these are good names, and somewhat original, but to others they just might not be, it's all subjective really. |

You can put lipstick on crap, but it's still crap. |

Isn't AoC free until level 20, or was that a limited time offer that you had to get in on before the end of last year? If it wasn't a limited offer, you can always get in the game for free until you can find a copy and time card. |

I have to agree with this, some people (on both sides solo vs grouping) do suck,... I don't like grouping with elitist, hardcore gamers that get pissed if you don't have the right gear for your level, or if you don't play your character up to their expectations... That's why you'll see me solo until I find someone I like talking to. |

Why is it that PvPers go off the deepend about not being able to PK anyone they want? Do they get their rocks off from ganking the unsuspecting player that is gathering, or completing quests? If more players will subscribe to the game with the implementation of either a PvP/PVE flag or PvE servers, then so be it, it means more money in their pockets so that they can further develope the game. And maybe, just maybe, for you (if you truly aren't afraid of it) it will mean better quality PvPers with their flags on, or on PVP servers. |
