This makes me sad. I love Colbert, but he's going to take votes away from the legitimate democratic candidate.

Something to consider Re: gold farmers - perhaps the 1 hour delay can be used for GMs to "intercept" gold transfers from gold farmers?

I don't really mind the 1 hour delay, but I think it needs to be consistent - if the seller has to wait an hour for the gold, shouldn't the buyer have to wait an hour for the item? That would be too inconvenient for the buyer, so to keep it consistent you need to get rid of the delayed payment.

I check my mailbox only after the 24hrs has expired, so it doesn't really make a difference to me. Just another hour to spend doing other things instead of hearthstoning home to collect money and relist items.

If they stop charging a monthly fee, they might as well shut the whole thing down and walk away. It is so hard to turn a profit in the MMO sector, they would have to be crazy to severely cut their revenue just to make a bunch of unemployed teenagers happy.

JG was my first MMO, and still the only one where pvp made my heart race because I knew the only thing that could save my ass was the hand on the joystick. Can't wait for the new iteration.

WoW is cheaper when compared to same-era MMOs because the system requirements are lower. People didn't have to upgrade their machines to play it as I (and others) did to play EQ2, SWG, E&B, etc. Sure, the subscription may cost the same, but you can play it on virtually any machine. I have a friend who has a 6 year old PC that has never been upgraded, and he plays WoW because that's the only recent big-name MMO that he can run on it.

I've also never seen so many people have their social and professional lives ruined by a game as I've seen with WoW. I could name a dozen people I know that have been negatively affected due to their inability to put the game down, from getting fired to losing a mate to losing custody of their children.

Exciting news. Jumpgate was my first MMO and I can't wait to see what comes of this. It is still the only game to get my adrenaline flowing and heart pumping - unlike most of today's games, when you get killed, you lose all of your items including artifacts that you can't just fly around and rebuy.

The changes SOE made to Star Wars: Galaxies have been really controversial. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be next?
No. The design of the game is entirely in our control.

That's all I needed to hear to soothe my nerves.

More crappy Korean games flooding the market.

Cheap quality gameplay with anime asian characters and online stores. It's the same tired cookie cutter formula.
