• • Looking for a 37"+ 1080p HDTV for PC and Console Gaming.

  • I got a Visio from costco and the 42" is like a $1000 the 47" $1200; Awsome for gaming and you can use HDMI if you have a 4870 graphics card for a computer.

    You DO realise that the maker of UO made a NEW MMORPG at the end of 2007.

    Tabula rasa. Hello ? still awake ?

    Enough said.....

    In your comments you only said you played ONE MMORPG very passionately.

    Guess what: that game made a big evolution in these last 12 months and because you're blind you don't even see it, let alone play it.

    The rest is frustration and "sandbox talk" of some grown up "teenager" that has nothing to do with designing video games.

    Real life is FULL of frustration. MILLIONS of people try HARD to do their best in RL every day and NEVER get a thank you or reward. And YOU want to  punish them further by letting them play a game where DEATH and punishments rule.

    So typical this attitude of a lot of MMORPG.COM forum users. So typical also for youngsters aged 19 or 29.

    Thats why "old grognards" like you don't see why normal people just need to play Wow.

    That's why its time you do need to grow up.

     

    To quote the Matrix:
     

    "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization."  - Agent Smith

    Sorry just to play the devils advocate here that is the first thing that popped in my mind when I read your paragraph (text changed to red). I do have to admit I fit into your stereotype of the 19-29 age group (and yes it's very much a stereotype). I'm not defending or attacking anyone but there are people who enjoy games like that; my personal favorite MMO was AC1 and the only reason I quit was because the community disappeared. I personally play online games because I enjoy the interaction with other players; that is something lost in the new batch of MMO's, there is no "NEED" to interact. Also before anyone attacks me for needing attention, stop, I have all the attention I need (or want for that matter) but I enjoy my games when the wife is at work and I find single player games boring; no game has an AI that can match the fun factor or challenge of a person.

    Just my 2cp

• • Most amusing night I've ever had in a MMO

  • Great story! It sucks when people don't roleplay anymore but this was great! I don't think I would have been able to contain myself on my end of the PC and I would have taken screenshots just for laughs a few years down the road.

    Thanks for the story, that made my morning.

• • The WoW = McDonalds analogy

  • Satisfying in the short term but in the long run leaves you with a nasty case of indigestion?  

     

    Not a WoW basher but I hate McDonalds
