What.A.Whiner...

You're ACTUALLY saying that PvP is all about no consequences to your actions? And because Funcom has the audacity to insert a system of action/reaction, they're destroying your PvP experience?

Take note people: This is what the world is coming to when we have people who grow up online with no understanding of the consequences of their actions, because they have lived a sheltered life, unreachable behind their screens.

I weep for the future....

Chryses: I know it's not saying a lot, but that is the single best post I've ever read on mmorpg.com

Thank you Sir, for restoring some of my faith in humanity.

Funcom has some truely brilliant people... unfortunately they also have some hardasses in the finance dept.

Most likely they are launching before the game is ready, having forgotten the hell which was AO.. or thinking that ANYTHING is better than an AO launch.

What is most certain and true is the fact that I HAVE learned my lessons, and I DO remember the AO launch. So I may buy Conan... after summer has come and gone.

Would it make you feel better to learn that my wife got a drop of a starter deck before lvl 10?

No???  

Excellent write-up Laura,

Since I bitched about your previous blog spotlight, I should do the opposite when you get it right.. very well written piece :)

I'm really struggling to not be harsh, so please take this as positive criticism Laura.

Your "articles" on blog spotlights are really nothing that a link couldn't cure to be honest. You don't add anything by way of suggested thoughts, differing viewpoints or anything else..  you don't have an opinion on your own, and don't state why that particular blog post was selected by you. All you SEEM to do is cut and paste from a blog that you find interesting.

And while it's nice that certain blogs are highlighted, shouldn't you either just post a link to the original blog post, or actually add to the content, giving rise to more meaningful debate?

I touched on some of these as part of my blog, so this is a partial rehash:

• Climbing Lucan's Mount in Commonlands, only to discover a golem who did so much knockback I died on landing...
• Turning a corner at lvl 17 and running headlong into gustfeather
• dodging those orc patrols with nameds and their cohorts.

Good article btw. I enjoyed the read.
