  • I definitely wonder if the reviewer is playing the same game I did when EQ2 actually went F2P. I liked it, but not this much. Character creation is fine, as was the community - which made a pleasant change from the idiots who play WoW (the Horde on …
  • A trailer is shown, and the world crumbles? Get over yourselves, it's amazing how many people have jumped on the bandwagon of hating/loving this game even before it has started play testing. No-one knows what the full scope of the game is yet. No-…
  • I don't gank, but it doesn't bother me when others do. It is after all part of the universe you play in, if you were really at war in a brutal unforgiving world, you wouldn't let an enemy live because they were puny, you'd nuke them anyway. It mak…
  • I'm an every-type of game snob, the money put in is always secondary to the time I put in, which is worth more to me than the cash. I need a game to be enjoyable all the way through, or I'll put it down and play something else without looking back…
  • As much as I've been disappointed in STO, it is an MMO, it's big, it's got lots of players who play online. That's an MMO. Difficulty sliders? Easy for the heavily instanced world of STO. Just find x number of players who want to play in "I have…
  • Tips for enjoying STO, collect many retail boxes, build a coffin from them, place phaser against your head and fall backwards...
  • I love the dungeon finder, it's not the journey through the forest of evil things to get to the dungeon that bothers me, it's getting there and finding no-one else around. Particularly as many of WoW's servers are devoid of low level characters (exc…
  • I played WAR for a bit and gave it up quickly, many of my reasons were similar to the complaints of the OP. But I had a few things to add.... 1. Installing under Vista was too problematic, in the end I installed the game on a friend's XP setup a…
  • There's a fine line to be struck between the two roles in my opinion, a poor CM would take a public stance alongside disgruntled users - that's not a useful message to send to anyone, though in the background they will be more forthcoming. If you …
  • Interesting if of course full of total nonsense, an official release with a Chinese partner company for WoW does not equal "unbanning". There's a lot that is banned here of course, but WoW? Nuh uh. Goldfarming is now illegal here (or at least runnin…
  • It's a decent review in my opinion getting to the core of the gameplay, but... ..why is it another review that will not say the most obvious thing about STO? It lacks the cerebral nature of the Universe. Ignoring the original series all the output…
  • Originally posted by Sanguinelust Of all the talk about companies being greedy, or screwing their player base, I can't think of better example of this than what Blizzard has just done and I am appalled. 50% of one pet equaled 1.1 million? So does…
  • Originally posted by spyder2k5 Originally posted by ascroobla There's some strange folk in this forum, from those who think the answer to making a loss on your accounts is to donate money to charity - mmm... shareholders would be really impress…
  • Like a lot of others in this thread, I want bigger more exciting more involved quests, and with relevant rewards for doing them. One of the tragedies of WoW is that the rewards for quests are by and large "meh", even interesting questlines don't ach…
  • There's some strange folk in this forum, from those who think the answer to making a loss on your accounts is to donate money to charity - mmm... shareholders would be really impressed with that. To those who cannot see the wood for the trees, "li…
  • Just a few points... 1. I can't be the only one who feels the writer didn't explain why he thought these scores were outrageous. 2. All reviews are subjective, I thought the STO review (OK partial review) on here was poor, never mind that's OK, …
  • So the complaint is...  you were cheating, people wanted cheats banned, NCSoft banned the cheats including you, now you are unhappy about that? I do believe that you didn't know where the money came from, however I am tempted to believe that's bec…
  • Yes, I would but... it would need to be extremely engaging, one of the reasons I found WoW to be an enormously dull game in the first instance was my own failure to get involved in the PvP aspects of the game. And I think the balance of PvP in WoW…
  • My definition of casual, and I suspect for most people this is true is; "Something I do when I feel like it, when I don't HAVE to do it." Which pretty much makes up every activity in my life except eating, sleeping, drinking and working. The res…
  • Posts like this often make me wonder, why is it that so many literate and educated people cannot spell the word "lose" in a header? But on a more serious note, what are you on about? The "loss" of mojo, assumes that MMORPG's ever had any, in fac…
