Dumbed down, as in World of Warcrap.  All the thinking has been done for you.  Now go kill ten bears and we will give you a purple hatchet of +1 agility when chopping trees, $18 dollars a month please, thank you come again! 

Hey I don't mind if they want to make a dollar on all they're efforts.  But hopefully they will take the money and buy a faster server.  The game is so glitchy I can barely play it.  I thought it was maybe just me but the forums are filled with the same complaint.  gpotato is very hit or miss with me.  My wife talked me into playing Flyff for a bit and was kinda fun.  Rappelz is just grind junk and will just wipe at any given moment.  I know its not my comp as I have played wow, lineage, anarchy online, eve, and d&d all with no problems. 

Funny.  But alas I am still quite pissed over the whole Shadowbane thing.  So anyone who supports this game is a traitor to the whole mmorpg universe.  And here, you shouldn't call folks losers, it really doesn't work anymore, ya know the whole insult us thing.  We are all game nerds and geeks but call us losers and we start to hunt you down and nuke your harddrive over the net.  Have fun supporting mmo terrorists!

Don't bring more people!!  The game is almost just right as it is.  A little glitchy but looks to be quite fun.  More clowns will just gum up the works!!

Yeah well its not like any of us can call Blizzards office and suggest things for development.  So the forums are really the only place to voice opinions and that's why the companies come here to gather information.  Unfortunately nobody at Blizz hears me yelling " Starcraft mmo Please"!!!  Also what's with all the new hello kitty games that have popped up?  Dragonica, Fiesta, etc....How about a really good game, with great graphics and you can actually play it.  Not like, let's say a three day download and then a tiny glitch keeps you from meeting requirments.  AOC, DDO, Warhammer, etc..  So devolopers need to listen to the complaints, but they really don't.  It's what makes the money in the end that they listen to.  I really wish they would listen to us

Well, you know what they say about opinions right?  Opinions are like assholes, everyones got one and they all stink.  Now someone kick Blizzard in the balls and while they are down make them develop a Starcraft mmo for bollocks sake!!

Well either way, numbers or not,  I tried downloading AOC ( which took like three days, literally)  I couldn't get it to work for nothing.  Frustration only takes one so far and I had reached my limit.  Funny thing was AOC gave me an extension after a survey and I tried the fixes the engineer told me to try, and of course nothing.  It's no wonder WOW and other games like Perfect World and Requeim play like a dream on almost any comp are so popular.  Same thing with Warhammer, can't play it at all.  The problem with the industry is that they think it's funny to partner with comp companies and force people to buy newer comps and/or bitch about lower subscriptions.  I don't think WOW is the best out there for sure but at least they know what it takes to keep people interested and have the respect enough to know folks just can't afford really bad ass comps.  So to prove that a really detailed and fun game can be downloaded and played on a mid level computer,  go to the Sword of the New World and give that a try.  Until then though funcom should revamp they're engine and cater to the masses, much like Blizz does.  Hmmm what a concept, actually caring about your subscription base.  Sorry if this offends anyones feelings, but getting a little tired of hearing how great AOC is.  Blessed Be

Here's what you have to do  Believe all the hype about a game like let's say, Mabinogi.  Download it, play it and then you get the sinking feeling of wasting your time on another crappy game.  Then maybe you can go back and play wow and realize how great a game it really is.  Right now I am trying Neo Steam, which is good so far.  You just have to take a break once in a while to know what a great company Blizz is.  Of course they are in the market to make money, we all are.  I can't wait till the next expansion just  see the new stuff.  Any (serious) gamers out there don't just try one game and stay there for ten years, your not a serious gamer if you play wow all day everyday, that's called a addict lol.  Now get up, go take a shower, make a cup of coffee and then go to the game list on this site and try something new for a bit.  There are a ton of free games to try.  You will be ok, don't worry, I know the sunshine hurts your eyes, and you will probably get the shakes from not being in Northrend, but it will be ok.  OH, AND HEY BLIZZ (KNOCKS ON SCREEN)  INSTEAD OF WOW EXPANSIONS, WHEN THE HELL YOU GONNA DO A STARCRAFT MMO FOR BOLLOCKS SAKE?!?!?!

I think it sucks that the Alliance is getting the awesome Worgen and the Horde gets a Goblin.  I only play Horde as that's what the real game is all about and I can't really relate to all the young kids on the Alliance.  The Alliance may only have the upper hand in numbers but not shear ruthlessness.  Rediculous, having to pay another $40 to play a goblin, lol.  Come on Blizz you can do better than that!!  And when the hell are they gonna come out with a Starcraft MMo?  Blessed Be to you all and I wish you all the best of fortunes!!  Now sssshhhhhhh this will only take a moment while I consume your soul.

Well it may not be the best ever, but I've been playing Sword of the New World lately (Granado Espada).  Awesome graphics and free!!  I played grind till you puke ( WOW )  for 1 year and then quit.  Here's one for ya.  If they took all the things you can do in Runescape and strapped that with some actual graphics maybe my little bro would stop complaining about the $5 he keeps wasting every month.  lol.  Ok Ok, I played runescape too. 

Thats cool. I don't say that WOW is or isn't for everyone.  In fact thats why there are so many games out there.  Its just that the hype that goes along with WOW is annoying.  I liked Shadowbane for the fact you got to build a civilization.  Back in my days of runescape you could do any and all skills.  WOW you pick 2 professions and thats it.  I like a variety in my games and crafting to me shouldnt be easy, its something you should have to be good at, not just point and click on 2 objects to join them. And your right, most games are grind and grind some more, that's why we have to demand better games, especially when you drop $15 bucks a month to play.  And, one last thought.  Would Starcraft be successful as a mmo?

Ok I'll put in on this one I guess.  Here's MY impression of WOW.  Grind, grind, grind, instance, grind, oh look some epic armor! wonder when I can wear it? Grind, some friends power level you , grind grind grind, oh level 70!!  Now I will look down on everyone else, the end.

Yes!!!  Someone finally got it!!  Bane you are right on the money!!  Shouldn't a game be fun?  i MEAN ISN'T THAT THE REAL REASON WE ALL PLAY?  To have fun?  I quit WOW because some jerk flamed a group I was in because one of the players didn't know what the difference between a fury and a tank was.  I thought "wow how rude of this guy to be so totally into a game he has to swear at someone who doesn't know every single tiny little aspect of some crappy level grinder"  WOW has some great graphics but if your not a level 70, it really is a crappy game.  after level 70 it's get's a little better.  Hell I had more fun playing Runescape, that game was a true sandbox.  You can do anything you wanted and level up, too bad the graphics sucked, lol. although rumer has it  is gonna get a huge revamping of its system to full mode.   Here's a question tho,  What defines a hardcore player?  Blessed be all!!
