Balls?! LMAO! TERA is not a true PvP game. For someone who has played UO and EVE, PvP in TERA is carebear. LOL @ these smug "PvPers."

TERA is not a real PvP game unless it has full loot.

Well I guess you and the other thousand people on the planet that enjoy full loot pvp can keep playing those you mentioned. :)

Tera looks OK. The combat is intriguing. I hope to get my hands on a beta key so I can check things out. I've become very gunshy about buying MMOs out of the gate lately...

The random placement of nodes is one of the many little things I like about FE. You never know what you're going to find digging through trashpiles! :)

Nah, I hate controllers. Keyboard and mouse or nothing for me. Like I said, I loved FFXI 6-8 years ago, but this turn-basey feel of combat just doesn't do it for me anymore. I think I'll just keep busy with some Fallen Earth and Tribes: Ascend until GW2 comes out.

Hopeful

I love everything about the game, but the combat and UI. They are both so damn clunky.

their site is not working. heh..

Hmmm. Well on second thought, save yourself $10 and skip this one. 3 hours in and I want to /wrist myself. What a shame...such a BEAUTIFUL game.

Here's the link. Enjoy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002I0JJ2U/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_d0_g63_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0YJC663GKECZKJMZ390X&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

Just wanted to give people a heads up that FFXIV is on sale on Amazon.com for $10 digital download. I've always been weary of this game due to the cratastic reviews, but I keep hearing its come a long way. I played FFXI for about 2 years, and for $10, why not? :)

I watched the stream for about 15 minutes. All I heard was pokket yawning every  30 seconds or so. Open mics are a bad idea sometimes heheh. Someone asked her if she had preordered, to which she responded, "Yes, I preordered already." From all the yawning, I wonder if she is regretting the decision..

SWTOR and Rift are VERY similar style of games. Expect to see the same formula once you hit cap.

The good news is that Rift is now F2P up to level 20, forever. It's called "Rift Lite". Enjoy.

2 millions copies sold - 1.7 million active subs = 300k people no longer playing SWTOR. Looks like most of those that cancelled are hanging out on these forums.

Sure the game needs work, but the wife and I are having a great time playing together. I'm trying to be less cynical in life lately...I'm a lot happier.

Is there a trial yet, or is the game still not ready for one?

Airing your dirty laundry on a public forum = not a good idea. I just took him as a troll and nothing more, personally.

3. Every single action I perform needs to be twice as fast as its current duration. It is a game afterall. 

Not sure what you mean here. Can you explain it any further with an example perhaps? Hope you're not talking about skill progression...

No, not skill progression. I was just referring to how long it takes to perform an action. For Example, nailing up boards on a house frame, or mining a tile out enough to get it to collapse. This is just my opinion of course, but they need to do a better job of balancing out the game with the simulation. In its current state, it's just a tad on too heavy on the simulation side for me.

As the author of the review mentioned, Wurm Online has given me some of the most memorable moments in my 14 years of playing MMORPGs. Sure, the graphics are weak, but once I got into the game, the way the wind moves the trees and grass, the sound of the crickets on a moonlit night, it still has a way of drawing me in.

This game isn't for everyone. It is slow as hell at times, but I can't think of another game that makes me fist pump the air after suriving an ambush by a pack of wolves like Wurm does. Everything you do, everything that happens actually MEANS something to you and your character. Others in this thread have mentioned that it's hard to survive alone. Hard, but not impossible. I was able to build a small house with a farm and a well, build a fence for protection and guard it with my life for about 3 months (as a Free Player).

My only 3 complaints are:

1. Next to no animations.

2. Zero character customization...save for if I want to sport a hang-down or not.

3. Every single action I perform needs to be twice as fast as its current duration. It is a game afterall.

It sounds like they are finally going to do something about #1 and 2, and since they likely aren't changing the speed of the game, I guess I can deal with #3.

Wurm Online has done what so few other games can claim: they have created a WORLD. I'm definitely going to give it another go when those animation and customization options go live. Shit, I may even pay for it.

have fun getting hacked, Riot.

You need a faster machine if you see long load times. Or maybe defrag that drive or something.

I see *maybe* 15-20 second load times in *any* zone I've been to. Wheter it's a new visit or not.

Drive defragged, and it's not just me. Maybe you have a beast of a machine.

I'm running: 3.0ghz athlon II quadcore, 8 gigs of ram, 5870 ATI card

While my PC may not be a beast, it should be more than adequate to load this game in a normal timeframe. Maybe the hero engine does play well with AMD/ATI. who knows.

It's a shame you can't put video into the load screens, because zones take so long to load, you could watch Episodes 4, 5 and 6 while waiting for Alderaan.

The only thing they could do to improve this game, so far (as this may change when I actually get to play) is to remove voice acting from the game. I don't know why this feature has been making the rounds through games these days, it's not just an Anet thing I know, but it's annoying as hell. English voice acting is never good, it's only adequate at best, terrible at worst. Further, I don't want to sit and wait for someone to drawl on about something I could read within seconds before getting back to killing shit. Hopefully, they have subtitles and a skipping mechanic along with those dialogue scenes, otherwise I can see myself sighing in frustration everytime I have to talk to someone just like I did in SWTOR.

The ONLY place I ever want to see voice acting is ambiant dialogue, and during battle (grunts, skill calls, etc., for flavor). Otherwise, stfu please. 

I love voiceacting and cutscenes, when they are done well. Only having to mindlessly kill shit does a boring MMO make. Combat should only be a small part of what an MMO is.

On topic, the only thing Anet could do to improve the game is to stop F-ing with it and just release the damn thing! :)
