  • Thank you for taking the time to write this Sovrath. Posts like this are the most valuable on this site.  No hype,just one man's experience.

  • Thanks for all the input guys. My main concern was that I had made some glaring error and a few of you have confirmed that I've not done this. I've bit the bullet and ordered the parts plus a decent mid range PSU.
  • Thanks for your input Shaky. Yea, the longevity of the system is more important to me than the performance I would say.  Like you, I'm old enough to remember when games were just a few coloured lines on a black background so even on medium settings…

  • Originally posted by grndzro Not having a VRM on the voltage regulators pretty much means any overclocking is out of the question. And since you want a K series processor it isn't a good mobo for the system. I'v seen good reviews of the brand new …
  • Thanks for the replies. The Cooler Master appears to be this one - Cooler Master GX Lite 600W A friend had a spare one and offered it to me, I could probably stretch to buying a PSU if this is not fit for purpose though. Peripherals, yep they wil…

  • I can say without a word of a lie, this is the best MMORPG I've played and one of the few to truly take on the challenge of simulating an entire world. Can't wait to get back in game and have a nosey around. Congrats Rolf!
  • I've noticed lately that many of the articles on the site seem to fit more closely with the opinions and ideas discussed by the general members on the boards.  It is refreshing to see imo. I am in complete agreement with the content of this piece. …
  • This is certainly one of the most creative troll posts I have seen here recently. Unfortunately as it mentions politics it probably won't last long.
  • No, their reason for being is still the hunt for the greatest profit.  The games still come second. Has SOE changed their hunting techniques? Perhaps and that might not be such a bad thing.

  • I'm not a fan of them either. Darkfall: Unholy Wars won't have a cash shop as far as I know.  Whether they have succeeded in rectifying the problems from Darkfall remains to be seen though.

  • I can kinda understand folks giving money to indie devs through Kickstarter.   However, established studios are not charities - none of them see a penny of my money till they have a finished product.
