    Try the rest and then come back to the best. :)

     

    McDonalds has millions of customers but it isn't exactly the healthiest food you can eat. :)

    And Ray Kroc cries about that on his way to the bank.  Actually I'm pretty sure he never actually goes to the bank, he has people that do that for him. LOL  (Edit, so he DID have people that did that for him, died in '84)

    I love it when people compare WoW to McDonald's like it's a bad thing.  I can't think of bigger compliment to give a piece of software and software developer than  to compare them to one of the most successful franchises in the history of the planet.

• • How many alts do you have? (Poll)

  • I'm just wondering how many of you play mutliple toons.  I have 9 toons on 1 server and a couple more on various servers, plus a couple more that I have deleted.  3 Lvl 70 toons, 3 more in the 60's.  Sometimes I think people get burned out because they don't play alts much.  I keep it fresh by playing a different toon and setting different goals.  For instance I have all professions over 300 with Enchanting and Herbalism maxed out.  There's always something more to do for me. 

    Edit:  Yeah, yeah, I know, screwed up another Poll.  Well that last one was supposed to be 30+, just pretend. :)

    They are most likely smoking the failure of Failcom.  They must be woundering what all the hype was about infact I doubt it even bothered them lol.  Another 1 bites the dust lol.

     

    Wow you can call a race before it even starts, that is amazing.  Gonna call you the Great Demz2BamBinni!!!  Also Fox News is looking for people like you, you sir have a future!!!!!

    Note:  I don't believe AOC will be a WoW killer.  WoW is like a war experienced general, it will never die, it will just faaaaaaaddddddddeeeeee away.  More people will eventually move to other mediums, MMO's are becoming varied and we actually have choice today.  And each one of those "other" MMO's will have WoW to thank for introducing new people to the genre and then boring them to tears allowing them to experience variety. 

    Thank you Blizzard!!!

    It might be a bit premature, but you have to be worried about the recent beta.  There's a lot more negative reviews coming out of it than positive ones and what's more it's the same type of negativity that preceeded the launch of Vanguard (low frame rates, buggy, quests that aren't quite finished or not enough of them etc) and fans were just brushing that off too.  Seems AoC still has a lot of warts and we are getting very close to launch.  You see more and more talk from people who had hoped AoC would be great saying after the beta they have decided instead to re-up to WoW.  That's not good news for AoC.  If they can't even get those who've already left WoW to sub to AoC, there's very little chance they'll get anyone who's still playing WoW to switch.  The one thing that really set it apart, the combat system, has seen a lot of criticism.  Perhaps you're right and it's all just talk, but I wouldn't be too sure about that.

     

    And I also disagree a bit with those folks who say that you don't have to have a milion subscribers.  While I think you don't have to have WoW like numbers, I think the days of getting by with a hundred thousand subscriptions are gone.  These games require a lot of development costs and unless you get a fairly substantial amount of subscriptions, like maybe close to half a million, it's just not going to look like a very good long term investment.  We've already seen a few development projects cancelled.  I think the industry is starting to realize that unless you have something that the other MMO's already out don't have, you don't stand to make a lot of profit.  The risk vs reward factor is starting to lean more toward the risk side.
