In fact, what is Worlds Inc. known for? lol. Have they done anything?

Supposedly they "pioneered" the client server architecture or so they claim. Their claim is soo vague it's a wonder how they even managed to get their "patent" accepted by the US Patent Office. Basically their claim is they "pionneered" the "idea" of being able to display objects and text in an virtual space. Like the above poster said they claim they invented how to walk... so metaphorically speaking they claim the patent to "walking" and any kind of footware since invented. It's totally bullshit.

Another stupid lawsuit. Seriously this Worlds Inc has been doing it for the past 10 or so years. They keep trying to sue MMO companies hoping for out of court settlement because it's cheaper to settle than let the lawsuit drag on for years. This company has been dead (without any legitimate product or services) for the past decade or so and only shows up on the news when they try to sue some legit MMO company. Their lawsuit is pretty frivulous, ridiculous and highlights what's fucked up in the US Patent system.

Thanks for the explanation. That's a pretty cool idea!

Edit: Oh found the tutorial that explains the C.U.B.E. It confused me for a while there.

$50 per month or $600 per year. Hell no way.... $20 /mo is about my limit.

Another thing was World of Darkness would come with perma-death merchanics. I don't think that will appeal to the mass market (nowadays you need mass market appeal).  I am not sure if the mechanic will be an option or applied to all servers. Hopefully it will be an option (like optional perma-death servers). Again, World of Darkness has potential but right now the IP is too much still niche. I am sure CCP will be profitable but I don't think they will reach critical mass market potential. However the game will definitely appeal to fans of the developers and/or fans of the White Wolf franchise.

So THQ lay offs, and they are axing the MMO portion of the game and re-purpose the game to be a single player game.

 

yay....... T.T

THQ has been taking a massive beating on their financial sheets. Their stocks are in danger of delisting. Lost around 60% of their value in the last 52 weeks.

He won't get perma-banned or, anything like that, he is one of CCP's poster boys for the game. After all intrigue and hype just sells the game more, but, mitti. is acting like a little child who doesn't consider the reaction, or, the responsibilities of his actions.

I'm still waiting for the day when CCP is presented with a huge lawsuit over a player who gets caught in Real Life over scamming people, and, then blames CCP and Eve Online for encouraging the behaviour within the game. After all, people will mimick idealogies if they believe they can get away with it.

Eve online sounds like thug / hoodlum training ground.

Short the stock at best. Not something to keep long term. EVE online is pretty much a niche market. Little growth potential.

My characters have disappeared too!

Ganking newbies is NOT fun at all.. in fact it's a sign of a coward who can't fight toe to toe against someone his own size. In fact I felt guilty for killing newbies/lower levels when they attack me and i have to defend myself.

I have in good faith this game will do well.

Not trying to get into the server just tryign to view the website http://dragonnest.nexon.net/

Anyone else having this problem of "Your connection has been reset." when trying to connect to the dragon nest website ? I can view the rest of the Nexon website fine except that one. Also tried to get on the website using my iphone (thru AT&T 3G network) and it works fine. I think Nexon might have accidentally IP blocked Comcast.

Looks cool. If it's anything like wow.. i'm definitely playing it.

It's just a class action lawsuit. Doesn't mean they will win and recieve 1 billion dollars. Plus that's an unrealistic amount claimed. Even if they did win the class action, the amount rewarded will be a small fraction of the claim (to be decided by the judge).

A website like wikileaks for games would be tantamount to industrial espionage. It would be like leaking company secrets and future product lines before the official announcements. Not only would that be illegal it would be highly unethical and would do much more harm than good.

Hackers have been targetting fan sites to hack people's passwords. It's the often lax security of these fan sites that are easy prey to hackers and people often uses the same login/passwords on their WoW account and these fan sites. The WoW authenticator is pretty much a god sent and it makes hacking into your WoW account incredibly difficult if not impossible.
