Who the heck uses Xfire anymore? I stopped using them after they were bought and and starting making pay 2 win arcade games.

Who cares? You can still buy a retail copy if you don't wanna use Origins.

Just about every MMO dev that has promised "monthly updates" hasn't lived up to their claims.

RIFT is an ok game - It has issues and sadly those issues are not worked on right now.  In fact - Trion is not just ignoring ppl that are talking about population imbalance - low populated servers and server merges...

they make sure to lock them on their main forums as well.

 Low populated servers already? Did they open too many at launch?

Another link.

Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed that it is closing three offices, laying off 205 employees and cancelling production of its spy-based MMO The Agency. The studio intends to focus on developing MMOs based on its EverQuest and PlanetSide brands. "

Aion is a much different game then it was at launch. For those who didn't like the grindy feel at launch may very well think it is a completely different game at this point. It is worth a try if you are bored with other MMOs.

Good. I hated dealing with retards when trying to put a group together. It was a chore not an experiance.

Lol you will still deal with those "retards", dungeon finders do not magically filter out the "retards" (and ninjas).

well op, You got you wish on #1

Let’s start with PvP in the shared world.

Just before Beta 6, we made an anti griefing change that prevented enemy wardstones at hubs and towns from being destroyed by the opposing faction, and significantly boosted guard strength around PvE hubs. We’re pretty happy with how that worked out on the PvE servers.

In time for Open Beta, we’ve developed the ability to repeal those changes on the PvP servers only, to see if they can remain playable without it. Ideally, it’s our hope that there’s gameplay value in having people being able to band together to attack and defend those areas on PvP servers.

If you choose to play on a PvP server, it’s our assumption that you not only don’t mind that level of interruption from that PvP attack-and-defense style of gameplay, but are actively excited about taking part in it. If you want uninterrupted PvE questing, choosing a PvE server is definitely recommended.

 Good, thanks for the info.

peace

 You CLEARLY missed the link in the post (you even quoted it) that shows it was posted on the official Rift Forums. And why are you assuming it wasn't sent to the devs? Excuse the guy for discussing a game on the forums, jeez.

These changes that were suggested were just for PVP servers, not PVE servers.

well pvp servers arent meant to halt peoples progress and thats what the OP is suggesting.

to me a pvp server brings some type of danger element to a game world, it immerses me more.

I don't play on a pvp server so twenty asshats can camp my quest hub and stop me from handing in a quest.

Or forcing me out of a rare dungeon or warfront run so they could roll up on me in a large group.

I have no issue with pvp conflict out in the field, this is why i roll on pvp server. what i do have an issue with is someone messing with my progression. 

What "danger" will there be on a pvp server if people can just avoid combat all the time? I am not saying I agree with all the things in the original post, there is a few things I do not agree with it in it. But it does seem like alot of the changes made in the last beta make a PVP server just like a PvE server. If you want to PvE in peace, roll on a server made just for that aka a PvE server.

This same post on the Rift forums has 15+ pages of mainly overwhelming support, it seems PvPers over there want PvP to be like it was originally.

:edit I'm fine with noobs being safe in capitals and starter areas, but in contested zones you should never feel safe. if you want uninterrupted questing roll on a PvE server, THAT is what they are there for.

You guys do realize this is a beta?  Coming to mmorpg.com forums and venting your rage isn't going to do anything.  Write this shit to Trion.  Thats what testing a beta means, test it.  Report shit to the maker of the game.  And any suggestions.  People need to stop joining betas just to play the game, it takes more quality away from the game then you can imagine.

 No rage, just reporting the issues that have become known though the beta tests.  More or less a snippet of the issues going on.  This is more or less for the people who are not participating in the rift beta, in case they are interested.  These are all issues that are infact posted in the rift beta specific forums.

Some people just are not interested i guess though...

*shrugs*

 

 

Hard to rage about a game your not invested in.

 

Oh and if Rfit wasnt trying to appeal to pvpers, they wouldnt have warfronts, pvp gear, pvp quests, or open world pvp, aside from their pvp specific souls.

Rage or reporting, you're still reporting to the wrong people.  Report to Trion, not various forums.  Make the game better rather than trying to talk people out of playing it.

 In the original post, there is a link to the official RIFT forums where this same thread was posted. So it was reported on the Trion forums.

EVERY MMO company promises content updates monthly so I find it hard to trust SoE. But if they do stick to their word, I will give them props for doing so.

this list is endless almost lol.

it's way too long to copy and paste here....WAY WAY too long....just look and weep.

 

 What about all the tax cuts over the last 2 years? You forgot those. But that would stray from your agenda so of course, that information is not given. Another parrot...

 Give us a list.

You should learn how to do your own research. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/feb/02/david-axelrod/axelrod-claims-democrats-passed-25-tax-cuts-last-y/ Here is a list of just some of the tax cuts from 2009, that list doesn't include tax cuts from 2010.

xpowderx suffers from Obama Derangement Syndrome, that much is clear. The fact that his supposed evidence is a blog from a NOBODY from 2008(!!!) using the words "together we thrive" just shows how desperate the guy is. He doesn't have an original thought in his brain, he only repeats what the corporate owned conservative media tells him to. He is a good parrot.

Devil, you lied in your original post. You clearly said "he said she has blood on her hands". No where in the email did he say HE believes she has blood on her hands. He said "some would say she does". I'm sure he learned that little trick from Fox News, they use the "some people say" trick quite often.

The men responsible for building the foundation of the United States had little use for Christianity, and many were strongly opposed to it. They were men of The Enlightenment, not men of Christianity. They were Deists who did not believe the Bible was true.

 Oh really?  Then I guess all those quotes are nothing but bunk.

 Try harder...

http://freethought.mbdojo.com/foundingfathers.html

The 1796 treaty with Tripoli states that the United States was "in no sense founded on the Christian religion". This was not an idle statement -- they believed it and meant it. This treaty was written under the presidency of George Washington and signed under the presidency of John Adams.

The men responsible for building the foundation of the United States had little use for Christianity, and many were strongly opposed to it. They were men of The Enlightenment, not men of Christianity. They were Deists who did not believe the Bible was true.

When the Founders wrote the nation's Constitution, they specified that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." (Article 6, section 3)   This provision was radical in its day-- giving equal citizenship to believers and non-believers alike.  They wanted to ensure that no single religion could make the claim of being the official, national religion, such as England had.  Nowhere in the Constitution does it mention religion, except in exclusionary terms.  The words "Jesus Christ, Christianity, Bible, and God" are never mentioned in the Constitution-- not once.

The Declaration of Independence gives us important insight into the opinions of the Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson wrote that the power of the government is derived from the governed. Up until that time, it was claimed that kings ruled nations by the authority of God. The Declaration was a radical departure from the idea of divine authority.

Also lots of info here. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/farrell_till/myth.html

What does this have to do with the memorial? The DNC nor did the White House have anything to do with the planning of the memorial. The T-Shirts were provided the university. And "Together we Thrive" is a common phrase. But don't let that get in the way of your seething hatred of liberals, Obama and Democrats. Also it is the Democratic party, not "democrat" party.
