Boyvirgo666 makes a horrible argument on why dragonball z is a bad anime.  Dragonball z did have many emotion grabbing moments such as when Goku risks his life to save Gohan from Radditz and later when Goku grabs cell and teleports away.  Yea the story wasn't perfect (Another super awesome crazy being that threatens the planet?) but it definetly had a lot going for it. 

Also, boyvirgo66 says there wasn't character growth; what about piccalo or Vegeta? Two former foes who make a transition from good to evil. 

Boyvirgo666 you are full of fail.  I would love to play a dragon ball z mmorg if it was done right (i.e sticks to the story elements and has a large financial backing from a respected company).

 

Also boyvirgo666 your sig says genius inside insanity, but you are just insanity inside of retardation.

cant believe i found this. ok look shut up. all those moments were cliche stupidity. try watching a real anime

i havent been on as much as id like lately but it is a great game if your into merchant work and trading. i love trading and i think it has fun sea battle pvp. its 1 major flaw is the item mall. i dont care about mutli accounts i care that you can almost max yourself out if you put in enough cash.

you know you pretty much discribed the game .hack's  mmo "the world" pretty much everything was custom, and rare items where event driven and where rare, pretty much 1 or 2 of a kind items. Granted there was no open PvP in that game but still,, all the basic ideas you want are there.

there was open pvp in .hack watch the series it was a pretty big thing and they even had police forces to stop it  .hack would be like the perfect mmo but i hear fragment bombed in japan

Most people on these forums want something different. The frustrating thing is that we all have our own interests and  preferences so there will not be a game that will please us all.

Some people are perfectly okay with a game or a few games that are currently out, which is great, I'm happy for you guys. Other people are looking for a game that doesn't exist because we have our own specific wants.

My perfect MMO would have:

• Good character customization. I want to be able to do more than just select between 5 faces and 10 hair styles, I want to actually be able to change my characters shapes.
• Game mechanics that encourage grouping. I don't want a game where soloing is the best and fastest way to go.
• No need for farming. Money should be fairly easy to acquire.
• No reputation grinds. I'm not saying I don't want some sort of reputation system, but it would have to be incorporated in a way where there wasn't any grinding/farming involved.
• Crafting that is not just a grind. I don't want to go running around gathering metal for 6 hours straight just to make my blacksmithing go up by 5 points.
• More than two factions.
• A world that is easy to get around in. I don't want it to take 20 minutes to get from one side to the other. (Of course, even more ideal would be a game with a massive world but no real reason to constantly travel long distances)
• Free for all PvP. I'm not a huge PvP person and I hate being ganked; however, free for all PvP is very immersive, plus I can deal with people that are trying to ruin my game experience.
• Extremely little dependence on gear. The sword doesn't make the man, the man makes the sword. I don't want gear to be the difference in a fight, it should exist to augment a character's stats, not be the only source of them.
• Lore that doesn't change just to incorporate new things. When they make a background story, they should stick to it.
• Rarety in items. I don't want to walk into a city and see 20 guys standing around in all epics. If an item is labled "rare" it should be rare, none of this "Dragon A only drops common items but Dragon B will always drop a rare item". If it's rare, then it should never be guranteed.
• Uniqueness in items. If an item is supposed to be one of a kind, it should be. Even if there's another item that is exactly the same but has a different name and looks different, I'd be fine as long as it was truly one-of-a-kind.
• A highly customizable interface. I don't want to have to download addons just to get my UI to look the way I want.

Now, I don't need all these things just to enjoy a game (obviously since there isn't any game that has all of this) but a game with all of this would have me hooked for life.

play eve online it has most of the things you want

if anyone remember teh .hack shows then that would be awesome virtual reality would kick the greatest of asses

im checking the file right now cuz i think the file is corrupted

nope no messages it just shuts the game down. and the computer is relativley new. i dont know the specs off the top of my head but they can run eve online and almost every gane iv ever un on it just fine

iv been playing this game for a week and have to say it is mighty fun but holy crap does it crash alot. i cant got more than a half hour without having to restart the game. its a great game but i dont know if its my computer or what but it wont play well for very long

i did the same thing

In Eve-Online over time i know for sure i will have the skills to pilot any ship in game, no matter how long someone else has been playing i know i will get there!

In ANY other MMO that will never happen unless i spend hours on end running daily raids and thats assuming i have the time and the means ingame via guild to be part of those high end raids; 

You might be able to train the skills for a top-end ship in a few months without actually having to be logged in, but it will take months, and you'll have to do just as much grinding as in any other MMO to actually earn the ISK to be able to afford it.

In Eve-Online i can ALWAYS group and either PvE or PvP with friends reguardless how long they have been playing without penalty;

In ANY other MMO that will not happen, if i have been playing for X amount of time and i have reached level cap and my friend JUST made his level 1 character he will NOT be able to hang and raid with me!

 

I'm sorry, but if you're a new player flying a frigate, you'll be about as much use in a PvP battle as a level 5 character with a group of level 60s in any other MMO.  Your frigate has pathetic armour, hardly any fittings and fires puny missiles, so I'm afraid you're talking rubbish if you're trying to suggest a new player can play along side vets and make a similar contribution.

Now in Planetside, your level 1 character really can have as big a gun and as heavy armour as anyone.  But that's for a different forum!

I'm sorry but a new player in a frigate can be very useful to a gang in pvp. Sure you won't be putting out the dps of older players in damage dealing ships but you are useful and needed.  To say that someone would be as useful as a level 5 with a group of 60s in another mmo is a complete lie. If you are trying to say a new player connot contribute is 'talking rubbish' as you put it.

Just like your Planetside comparison a new player won't have as much armor or be firing the biggest guns but a new player can tackle or as Rayalist said in the above post a new player can quickly train into a ship such as a blackbird and jam older players preventing them from locking on to your gangmates therefore contributing in quite a lot.

apparently this dude has never een teh devistation of a friaget rush. iv seen frig squads wipe out battleships and even caps when used smart

        Depends on what you want from a game. Some like forest-nl like wow,eq etc and think that no risk pvp is hardcore pvp .. others are interested in a no-risk pve games where everywhere you`d go there is the option to toggle pvp on or off, others like to grind their way thru the game to get instant gratification. EvE isnt like that.

       What gets me in EvE is its pvp nature. Nothing more beautiful than to see your opponents wrecks after a succesfull engagement.

 

Huh, that is interesting.  I do competitive Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and risk actual broken limbs/passing out from chokes and I think all the computer "hardcore" PvPers are a softcore joke.  Risking pretend assets, oh noes, help me please!

 

 

I guess its all in the eye of the beholder.

 

Seriously there is no "risk".  The reason EvE PvP is good is because there is meaning and consequence to such things.  This hardcore stuff is a joke and frankly it detracts from what actually makes EvE good.

 

What makes Eve good is that when you kill someone it has an effect not some stupid graveyard resurection zerg.  What makes it better than most games in this regard is that the players can actually make things happen because the mechanics actually have real affects.

 

It doesn't matter how "hardcore" your opponent is, if you bankrupt them have had a real affect.  That is why EvE world PvP is the only real world PvP.  RvR is fine for what is does.  But WoW or EQ2 world PvP is a complete joke compared to Eve.

 

Do you know how many EQ2 PvP players think they are the hardest of the hardcore?  Most of them.  But that games PvP is a joke not because they are wusses and don't realize, but because the mechanics don't do crap for the whole point of PvPing in the world.

 

Its not about hardcore its about sane and well designed consequences.  Eve is actually less hardcore than it used to be, but its world PvP mechanics still work just as well.  Because the designers are smart enough to realize that losing skill points did jack didly poop compared to economic attribtion.

 

It has nothing to do with hardcore and everything to do with smart design.

 So basicly since when did computer games started to be compared with RL? But if we are to play by your judgement lets assume the folowing situation "A freighter pilot is passing thru low sec with his merry freighter in wich he transports goods valueing half of his wallet fortune, for wich he spent lets say a month of gameplay". Now in this situation you want to tell me that the freighter pilot isnt assuming any risks? That, if he gets his freighter sploded from under his ass he will just say "Meh its just pixels in an internet spaceship game". If your answer is yes, pls hop in a freighter and pay me a visit so i can see it with my own eyes. 

 

 

a smart frieghter pilot will have friends backing him up otherwise he doesnt enter low sec. either that or will stick to his alliances territory

It seems that the only chance of getting some real fun is to join a corp and go PvP in low security space.  But most corps aren't interested unless you've got at least 4 months worth of skills, and they still want you to spend most of your time making your own money to pay for the ships you'll lose by mining or running missions (dull - see above).

Time to go.

 

Well, that is the root of your problem.  Sounds like you've spent last two months in NPC corps and never really got to be part of EVE. 

I watch the recruiting channel regularly and there's tons of them taking new players right off the bat, and no, they aren't all new with no substance.  Just need to look around a bit.

Yes, you will have to learn to make money in EVE.  Some folks mine, (I don't), some learn to play the market (very profitable), ratting in 0.0 can easily make you 100 million ISK in a short time period, and you can even find was to make money by doing almost nothing. (I make almost 200m ISK a month doing exactly that)

Almost all MMORPG's require you to earn your keep somehow (if their economy is any good), EVE's no better or worse than others.

Take a chance and find yourself a decent corp before you bow out, might change your whole perspective on the game.

 

myself i was a trader i made a good 200mil a week*on a good week twice that* just shipping modules to 0.0 and i ad fun doin it cuz it forced me to look at what sold high and what was bought low.

example- in one arera of 0.0 i found that shield boost amplifiers were either not there or sold for like 10x there average cost so i just massed hauled hundreds of em them sprinkled them throughout the market. then on the way back id drag back megacite or other types then process and sell them in jita. if you are a trader i suggest you get friends then do this and you will get rich quick

Another MMO doesn't rattle the genre.

WoW still has 10 million subscribers.

It's like Déjà vu...

didnt they prove that WoW was padding the crap out of its number and that it was like half that?

Just thought of another good analogy: 

A sculptor might look at an uncut piece of very fine stone and become very excited with ideas about what he might create with it.

Most people would just look at it and say "what's the big deal? It's just a boring rock.  I don't get it."

Shouldn't a game be fun to begin with?

i mean honestly i would still be playing eve today were it not for the fact that i dont feel like paying for it anymore and killing myself getting isk for my net time card

im waiting for teh servs to come back up so i cant play right now :(

dude fucking relax why dont you think about the fact that the newb in question is probly now having a shity time in the game and people that work for it are having fun if they enjoy what they are doing. i know im enjoying it why cant you?

oh and on the topic of getting banned for complaints on forums.....its kind of in the terms of service you signed it next time dont start badmouthing people who can make yer lives suck

lol iv been playing vco for like 6 months now and iv only spent like....$10 and that was because i has one of those gift card thingies for paypal and nothing else to waste it on since then no money wasted i just buy with game cash from others too stupid  to not pay

Grind doesnt bother me so long as the gameplay is fun but here is a couple questions I have.

From what I understand this is open PvP. If that is the case is it like almost every other open PvP where at level 1 im going to get ganked by pkers 20+ levels higeher than me? I enjoy PvP but not if its just gankfests and kiddies wanting to feel uber killing people much lower level than them.

Bots/cheats/hacks? How bad are they?

Not worth the time to play.  i played for a year from release and took several months off, then came back to the game for 5 months.  to many hacks, to much corruption, allot of RMT going on.    Codemasters have lost control of the game.

uh are you talking before ccr took over? because its much better now

I would like everyone to please give a warm welcome to our newest teenage-WoW-fanboi-troll on the forums.

*clapping*

The "teenage" part is a bit unfair and unnecessary - teenagers can be perfectly mature and intelligent, just like adults can be immature and stupid.

This guy Sidoxs, however, is simply a jackass.

All the teenagers I know who play WoW are all fanbois. Teenagers can indeed be mature, but they don't have much opinions of WoW except that it's great. Speaking as a teenager myself.
