Europe has more (dedicated) no-lifers?

Actually, I bought The Settlers 2 (10th Anniversary) the other day...

The site provides no screenshots, very little info on the game in general.  Hard to take it seriously. Also a game where you have to play a melee class to pvp .....not very exciting.

I was hoping to find some screenshots under "Interface", but it turns out the link is dead (404).

You are just seeing things. Hehe. Archlord may initially fool you with its atmosphere, graphics and "phat lewt" - the whole theme, if you will. 2Moons, on the other hand, doesn't really have a theme and aesthetically it's just a mess. That said, both games share a high flop-factor which is quite sad as I was hoping for Archlord to succeed...

If I had $10 every time I read PC IS DEAD! I would be stinking rich right about now. Every six months there is some analyst that predicts pc is dead because they just bought stake in one or other popular console.

What has happened this E3 that showed lack of PC games was simply Microsoft's fault. DX 10 on Vista only? After they had removed last barrier for DX10 to run on WinXP because nVidia could not produce drivers good enough for vista, they decided to not mention that and leave it Vista only. And not only that, newest DX10.1 spec excludes every GTS 8800 nVidia car out there. Microsoft is further pushing vista into Garbage category.

If they had released DX10 for WinXP with advancement of new hardware there would be slew of games that are just superb, now we just have to wait a bit longer for that to happen.

Any FPS on console is 0 skill. They all have assisted aiming where you can pull off headshot everytime with ease. The first obliteration of console players came at hands of UT tournament. Sega vs PC players. Sega players could not live past 2 seconds after spawning. So then along came Halo with 'aim 6 meters away from anyone's head and still score kill' game mechanic and was a hit.

 

Anyway /end of rant.

Ten dollars every six months could quite possibly turn into a fortune, yes.

This is not a review; it is a list.

OP: This is the second time you are posting about your "badass" rogue. Did your last attempt at showing off make you feel a bit insecure? Hehe. Post your Amory URL and I'm sure players will be more than helpful to inform you whether your rogue is indeed "badass" or not.  (www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/142937)

3rd post about no official WAR forum and going strong...

Death metal! Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, etc... Pretty much the soundtrack to killing.

...thrash metal classics like Slayer's "Angel of Death" + "Raining Blood" also do the trick.

I'm not familiar with EverQuest (1), but I'm sure the [outdated] graphics were the reason - even if the gameplay is/was superior to other games. I would like to add that they may have gone a bit too far with the graphics in EQ2; for a MMO the requirements are quite harsh.

I have bought gold online on several occasions and I justify it by the following:

In the case of Guild Wars I got scammed* bigtime - the financial blow was devastating. I ended up buying the equal amount online.

In the case of World of Warcraft I gave away all my money on a previous account to my buddy (who, of course, quit just after that), finding that re-opening his account (to get the amount back on my new account) would cost more than just buying the amount of gold online, I chose the latter.

I bear no shame.

*If you find buying gold as cheating then scammers should be put to death IRL. Yes, I seriously mean that. If I got the opportunity to kick someone's a** IRL because of some snot-face seriously scamming me in-game then I would. Call it PvP IRL with consequences.

Anyways, I've had a decent amount of beers and drinks tonight, so have a nice one!

You will get your first Talent Point at level 10, and then one point for each level after that. Talent Points can be spent as you wish in any of your character's three Talent Trees (this menu will become available at level 10). Talent Points spent can be unlearned at any trainer if you wish to spend your points in a different way ("re-spec"). As someone else has already pointed out; if you are planning on grouping for the most part, spend your points in order to heal efficiently. If you are planning on leveling by yourself for the most, then spend your points in order to do damage efficiently (Shadow Priest). If you choose the latter you should be just fine with enough healing to keep yourself alive and do considerable amounts of damage - thus leveling quicker. Getting all skills/ranks - especially the ones you won't be using - is not a must, and getting the cash to train can be a pain at lower levels, so you may want to use your money wisely at start and put some skills on hold.

Ditto. This game looks like a decent effort.

Here's the URL by the way: www.mythos.com/

The armors in Warhammer Online seem to be [somewhat] based on trophies. From what I've seen of the concept art, armors start out pretty simplistic then gets bits and pieces added as one progresses. Whether these armor pieces are the same ones that gets upgraded or are in fact totally different pieces, I am not sure of, but the "high end/medium" stuff seems to be "lower end" stuff with additional items/enchantments (depending on race/class) added. Weapons, on the other hand, seem to be swapped for new ones (low/mid/high). I really like the idea; the Goblin Shaman, for instance, already looks like a walking scarecrow made out of roadkill basically (at least from looking at the already released screenshots).

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for WAR, and I don't see any reason why it should fail.

Hag = Bitchy Old Female
Sorceress = Self-explanative

Maybe the occasional Chaos Chosen/Marauder female - if any in the game - will show up as a NPC instead. I usually choose female characters in games (if you're gonna spend most of your time watching a character from behind it might as well be a nice view), but if the lore has few (to none?) females in some races then I don't see a problem with that gender not being implemented. I'm sure a more slender and elegant female version of the Chaos Chosen, for example, would look appealing to say the least, but if that isn't the way the story goes then so be it. D'oh!
