     WoW is not ranked number one for two reasons:

    [*]MMORPG.com is full of angry, disgruntled players who tend to either be elitist/snobby or bitter, and vote against the status quo at every possible opportunity in an attempt to tear down success
    The people who are enjoying WoW are either playing the game and not wasting time here slamming it, or are the casual type who do not lurk on MMORPG websites and post their opinions

    
    If you polled every single MMORPG player, otherwise known as taking a census, and asked them what the best MMORPG is, WoW would win. The problem is the sample voting here is not representative of the MMORPG community as a whole. This is a niche community and WoW is not a niche game - it is actually a successful one.
    Anyway, always take reviews, opinions, and rankings here with a grain of salt. They mean almost nothing at all.
    By the way, I do not currently play WoW but if I were to vote, I would say right now it is the best MMORPG on the market. It is stable, it is full of content, it caters to casual and hardcore players, it has PvE and PvP, and it is polished to a diamond-like brilliance.
    But it will still be bashed as the devil of MMORPGs, despite somehow managing to be the most successful MMORPG of all time. Go figure.

    Completely wrong. They want to know why WoW isnt ranked #1 here. Its verry easy to figure out. It has nothing to do with being an eliteist, snobby or anything else. People here are dying for something new.  Most here are MMO vets who have played the classics and want something similar. They are also tired of seeing games come out that arent trying to improve on the industry but are just trying to copy WoW's sucess and they blame WoW for it.....and rightfully so.
    Just because people here dont follow the masses like sheep doesnt make them snobby, disgruntled or eliteists. It makes them there own person. Sorry you cant handle that.

    WRONG! no one from Blizzard is putting a gun on ANY of these companies heads and saying "DO IT MORE LIKE WOW!". Face it, the reason why the games YOU want to succeed aren't succeeding is, because they don't have the cojones to try something different and follow their own vision. They're sheep, they're followers, that's why they're not putting out the games you want to play with the game mechanics you want to play.

    
     

    It's more like the publishers see wow's subscription numbers, and see all those pretty dollar signs. So they force the developers that they are paying, to make the game more like wow so they can make that kind of money. If Eve Online had that kind of subscriber base, and made that kind of money, instead of  wow, then every publisher would make the game more like Eve. Developers usually don't get the chance to make the game they want to make. He who controls the check book controls the world.

    Michael Moorcock, the great author (creator of Elric of Melniboné, and many other fantastic characters), invented the term Multiverse back in the 60s and has been using it extensively in virtually all his books since. I wonder why these guys fail to mention that at least.

     

    I would assume it is because they made the engine for the firefly mmorpg initially. And in firefly they call the universe, the multiverse(whether or not joss whedon pulled it from moorcock is unbeknownst to me.).

• • X-trap ?!

  • It's not malware. It's a hacking prevention application just like GameGuard. The reason certain mouse buttons and your g15 keys don't work is most likely because they are run by a software program. Xtrap sees these, and prevents them from being able to access the game executable to prevent macros and hacks from working in the game.

    In order to get them to work, you'd probrably need to contact the company that made Xtrap and get them to add support for the software that you are running for those components.
