• • World of Warcraft: Blizzard Authenticator

  • This really is a great feature, IF it works as intended, and doesn't end up getting cracked within months. I'm really surprised that so many people think that this is the same level of security as captcha or a simple security code, learn to read people.

• • Question about the living legacy free time

  • My understanding of the offer is that you get Kunark for free if you've had an EQ2 account in the past. If this is anything like what they did with EoF, the temporary aspect of it is just the free game time. They're basically just giving away copies of the game so that people get hooked, and go out and buy the next expansion which is right around the corner.

    I highly doubt it. First impressions mean a lot when it comes to MMOs, just look at EQ2. 

     

    Look at EQ2. . . looking. Active player base. Expansions being released regularly and selling pretty well. I guess that spells failure.

    Yes, it has an active core base, but aside from that there isn't much left. Few people are coming back to it, few new players are trying it. The popularity of the game has been pretty steadily low for a while now, despite the fact the game is now pretty damn good (aside from a few quarrels I have with the way they set up pvp). Population wise EQ2 hasn't really improved, and I don't expect much of an improvement from Vanguard either. I do expect to have fun with the game once I pick it up in ~6-8 months.
