• • Guild Taxes: What % is reasonable?

  • I voted the 1-5% range because our guild charges 5%.  We have 66 members currently and we make a decent amount of coin for the guild at 5%.  Honestly they could raise it to 10% and I would still be happy.  I would accept up to 20% even as we all gain lvls.  For a new guild with few members and/or a lot of low lvl toons I think 5% is a good start.

  • 

    Your article was great and well said.  Quality should always come first.  Quantity can always be added.

    Their PvP model of RvR has always been my favorite aspect of DAoC. It is so well done that even those who generally don't like PvP still ike RvR.

    

    I was a longtime DAoC player and I would play any game made by Mythic.  They are one of the few game companies that truly impresses me.  Unlike many other companies they listen and care about their gaming community and the lines of communication with them are always open. 

    Considering the state of arrival of most new games to come out lately I am glad that Mythic is not following in their footsteps.  I don't believe anyone wants to pay to beta test a game and that is the state of some of the popular currently released games.  As a consumer I expect that when that long awaited box arrives I can install my game, log in, and play.  That is not to say that an unxpected bug or two might not show up and that would be acceptable.  However, if it were frought with bugs, broken quests, NPC's, crafting, etc... that is unacceptable. (For those out there that say, "Almost every game comes out that way."  That may be true but that doesn't mean we should make it OK for game companies to do it.  If we do they will never stop and we will continue to pay to beta test games.)  I for one am through paying to beta test games.  After several bad experiences I vowed to never pre-order a game again.  I did break that vow and pre-ordered the WAR CE.  Why?  Because I trust Mythic.  That's it.  There is no other reason.  There are only 1 or  2 other game companies I would break that vow for.  I don't expect perfection from any game at release but I expect it to be adequate.  Unfortunately the release state of some current games doesn't even qualify as barely passible much less adequate.  Mythic has made some mistakes but they learned from them and fixed them.  They didn't just throw up their hands and say, "Oh well, deal with it or don't play" as some other companies have done.  I trust Mythic because of my past experience with them and because I know that they care about the quality of the game and my enjoyment of it. 

    I'm excited for the release of WAR and couting the days till my box arives.

• • e-mail about WAR CE from amazon

  • This is what the letter I received on 5/8/08 from Amazon said.

    The item(s) listed below will actually
    ship sooner than we originally expected:
    
       "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Collector's Edition [DVD-ROM]"
        [DVD-ROM]
        Estimated arrival date: 10/14/2008 - 10/20/2008

    (Yes, I took free shipping)

    When I actually check my order on the website though it says 10/06/08

    <shrugs>  Who knows?  I order a lot from amazon though and I have to say nothing has ever arrived later than the estimate.  Most things arrive earlier (like 90%)  the rest still arrive on time.  It's why I like dealing with the company.  That and they have fabulous customer service.
