Graphics = dated beyond belief.

GUI = the most non-user friendly design they could possibly think of.

AI = kindergardner with a headcold intelligence level.

Some idiots will spend 100's of thousands of real dollars to buy "property" that will be gone with a server crash, or when the "devs" finally run away and close up shop?!?

No thanks, I'll stick to "real" games that give quality entertainment. You guys have fun with you "Universe". lmao.

No company works for free, you know?

The "game" is in development since late 99, and the gfx engine has been updated some times and the latest has received nice updates.

Do you reckon the effort needed to implement a new gfx engine on a "game" of this size?

Btw looking at your sig, do you want to put EU side by side with any of those games and let me laugh, a lot?

Nope, I wouldn't. I gave my personal opinion of the way I see EU. As far as I know, people are throwing there money away of their own free will for this "game". The games listed in my sig did not get one cent from me, however that does not mean that I don't have the right to call 'em out when they are screwing over the rest of the community. You are the one making comparisons between the games in my sig and EU, not me. I never said MA was screwing people.

Even Dark and Light which was launched on 2006 has crappier gfx than EU!
And Horizons from 2003, lol.
And lets not speak about the games themselves.

I'll agree. I guess that means since a game which thrives on people using their real money to play effectively doesn't have the worst graphics, it's okay if it doesn't have graphics anywhere over the mediocre line. My bad.

One thing you don't get, is that MindArk develop and improve EU, and have intentions of running it for the decades to come, that's why they have upgraded the gfx engine several times (and will keep doing it), while most of the other games just die and the developers don't even care about updating it.

About the GUI, i don't know what you mean with that, as i when i started i found it easy to use.

About the AI, it is not inferior to the AI of any other MMORPG. (also don't forget that Hunting is only a part of the gaming experience in EU, while in other games it is all the gaming experience you will ever get).

About your "retro" way of facing a Real Cash Economy, you mustn't have seen the latest news about virtual worlds!
The boundaries between RL and VR are becoming smaller, i fully trust in MA because i know the rules of the game and i understand how it works.
Thing you don't seems to do.

I don't believe on your way of thinking tbh, next time you are scammed while buying a virtual sword through paypal for a virtual universe that will disappear in 3 years, don't come here whining.

I don't use Paypal, Click-n-Buy, or any other such service. I don't buy "virtual" property, as I think it's pretty much a waste for something that can be gone tomorrow with no guarantees. I also don't use item shops in games. So, don't worry about me whining.

And what do you think about people who buy a virtual house or apartment or give 5k$ for a virtual castle, or 50$ for some virtual jeans? You must think those are retards, not?

I don't know about calling 'em retards exactly, but I would question their sanity and good judgement. And yes, I will say that someone willing to spend thousands in a "virtual world" fits my personal view of idiocy.


Also EU is not a game, it "is more than a game".

  Please, by all means, enjoy your "game". People have their own opinions. Now we both know each others.

Ok, call me one of the idiots but at lest I realised that MA it is a SMM (sucking money machine) and they have a lot to learn before they can really offer the next step in entertaiment game industry. This is the reason they tell you "EU is here to stay for decades" because they realize they are unable yet to deliver what they dream of . But i will do something else for the next 2-3 years, untill they will improve this universe.
