Um, yeah, get rid of vista. As nearly everybody knows, vista sucks enormously. I'm a PC user myself, but everyone that I know who has had a vista made a contest to see who could kill their vista in the most horrible fashion. It was fun. Just get XP

^{Before I start talking let me get one thing in the clear:}

^{THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE BEST MMO}

^{There may be bad ones, there may be virus ones but there is no best one. If there was then we would all be playing it. I personally have played Tibia a little, and I understand what people are saying about the intensity, and the realism, and all those things, but you can't just go out and say that it is the best game ever, there is no denying it, WOW sucks, yada yada yada. The best thing you can do to enforce the game and show it's good points is by, lets say, not saying that there is no other game with that feature, or not spewing out random nonsense about the person who made a comment that happened to be negetive. That is a sure sign of fanboyism, an almost cultist behavior that I hunt down with vengeance and pleasure. What you could do is say, while being polite, (although that's pretty rare) the good things about the game.}

^{Something that I personally hate in some games is the people. Runescape would be almost (but not quite, bobcrazyton) playable if the community didn't suck so bad. The community in this game is good enough that you can find good friends and make better rivals, instead of the place being infested with people whom are familiar with 1337 741k.} 

^{There is also the graphics. Yes, the graphics suck, but I never really cared much for graphics. My favorite game yet is Super Mario World, and that was back in the 16-bit days. Some people find a good game because of it's graphics, I just don't care.}

^{Then there is the content. This game is packed with content, and if you can't find any, make some. The things you can do are near endless (so it seems) and the PVP (to my knowledge) can be rewarding. The game also takes a lot of oldy-style D&D tactics like if you go in a cave, you bring rope. Some people aren't really interested in that, I like a mental challenge when I do something.}

^{Well, that's just about all of my rant, but if anyone claims that a game is the best game ever, I will do many undescribed but presumably violent things to them. You may need a dictionary to read all this though.}

You know, I almost saw you coming. Of course, if you weren't so busy making everybody's lives miserable, you would notice the last one. 

"And finally, to everyone who won't shut up about it, we could talk until hell froze over, was found by Willy Wonka, [back from the dead] and was made into spicy popsicles, and nobody would win. So give the people who actually play the game a break. We like the game. You're not gonna convince us to play WoW by saying our mothers were baptized in a meat factory."

So how about giving us a break, eh? You will never convince us. Never. Oh, and quit coming on just to scam us to fill you're dull, listless life with fun. We really do hate you guys.

And to everyone who thought that was pretty wordy, sorry.

To everyone who is saying the game's graphic's suck, it's in java. It is really hard to make good graphics on java. If you want graphics, watch a summer blockbuster or play PS3. To everyone who says its music sucks, come on. The guys at Jagex are already working their asses off already with the weekly updates. Try an iPod. To everyone who hates it because you can't say ass, it's because they are trying to make it a better experience for others and not scare new guys off.  To everyone who doesn't like the fact that it's a point and click game, there are plenty such games already, plus it makes for a great chat system. To everyone who doesn't shut up about the lack of a party system, they're working on it. Be patient. They want to get it right so that it makes for a better game. You can use the easy friend system anyway.  To everyone who complains about the community, try member mode. They are much nicer, and most would go out of their way just to give you a hand. You could help by being a nice person too. To everyone who complains about the bots, report them, don't whine about them. To everyone complaining about the membership, it's optional, not required. Hell, it's only 5$ a month. To everyone who thinks it's boring, come on. What are MMORPGs famous for? Duh. To everyone who thinks there are too many scammers, try doing some research before hand, and don't follow someone into the wilderness because they are going to give you money. You can kinda see it coming. And finally, to everyone who won't shut up about it, we could talk until hell froze over, was found by Willy Wonka, [back from the dead] and was made into spicy popsicles, and nobody would win. So give the people who actually play the game a break. We like the game. You're not gonna convince us to play WoW by saying our mothers were baptized in a meat factory. That's all I wanted to say.

Well, actually, everything is based on player opinion and if the players want to base everything they vote well on to the generic stuff, then games won't likely advance soon. If players find the guts to try something new then makers will too. The makers are too scared to try something new and imaginative and normally go make a WoW remake.

Although I'm all for the unbalanced races thing, finally making the game realistic in the smallest sense. If everybody doesn't need each other then there is no teamwork and then you're staring at four boring hours of killing the same old monster alone. But again, then people would take the super-somethings and ignore the more complicated species.

It all goes down to whether someone decides to try something new. And to those who don't, get a freaking life!

I play IRO and... many-many free IRO's...

My recommendation is to make Ragnarok FREE and allow there to be an item store, stones for leveling, adding strength, and etc...

I rejoined after being gone awhile and the place is fairly empty except for bots... I think the 'real' IRO has a strong community but who wants to pay every month to grind away....

The free IROS, sure you move up to quick and nothing left to do.. Or you go back and next week the servers gone..

Here are my recommendations for IRO:

1. Free play
2. Online Store (real $) for zeny, helms, rares, wings
3. Make a few more pets
4. Make a few more mounts
5. Buyable (from store) hairstyles and different clothes

We love our characters, but let's face it, they all look the same.  I must 'easily' spend $15 a week at Hero for hay for my horse, stones that help me level, ornamentations for me.. and I give (easily) $15 a month to my kids for stuff for their MMORPGS (Maple Story, etc...) 

There IS a market for this...
