Let's see where to begin... Well, I am coming back to this site after almost a decade hiatus and I have to say that this community is just awesome. At the time I created this account, World of Warcraft pretty much consumed my existence, but at least for now, I am free to enjoy a bunch of other MMOs. There seems to be some stagnation within the genre though, as I am seeing more games come out with faulty free-to-play models that just don't work properly. I would rather pay a subscription cost than have a game essentially turn into pay-to-win. Of course there are exceptions, but they are few and far in between. Still though, I am holding some hope that a few good MMOs are on the horizon and really looking forward to Warhammer 40K, whenever that comes out. Look me up if you wanna chat about something.

Indeed Torath. You are correct in the departments that you have mentioned. Nevertheless, you have failed to see (or at least to state) that all the games that failed spectacularly (very few exceptions) are trying the old formula. Why are all the gam…

I am a big fan of the RP myself. GW never really stroke me as a game where people would spend more time RPing than actually PvPing. In my opinion, GW is more for the epic battles in the arena type of people. PvP is the biggest aspect. Instanced w…

Too much realism can kill any game out there. The actual medeval times were far different then portrayed in such games. As the companies strive to make everything more realistic, they lose the essential part of the game. It is true that suspension o…

I have not heard such news until now. It is true that Pirate's Bay is indeed full of loopholes in their agreements and statements making them very hard to actually sue and get a valid case out of it. I don't see why they would even bother since the…

All 10 million people cannot be wrong. There is something about WoW that is very appealing to a vast amount of people. Even after some people leave for other games, there will always be a rich fanbase. Even if WoW gets knocked down to 5 million, th…

I on the other spectrum actually dislike the new areas that were given in The Burning Crusade. I think that the old areas, though needing a revamp, are much better. They give me the feeling of the old school back when the skill and player honor act…

I have played ArchLord from beta and I must admit that I really liked the game from the start. I have long since stopped playing due to the game having me grind too much. Also the XP penulty really turned me away as well. I don't really enjoy dying …

That is indeed a sad state of affairs. The subscription does very little for the $10 that you are ending up spending. The potatoes and the toffee are some of the most friquent drops that you cannot sell or do anything with unless you have collected…

The original poster does have some valid points. Blizzard did indeed become the number one of gaming and they have achieved such a goal in relatively short time. Just as all successful companies out there say, "Why stop there?". Microsoft is anot…

I play WoW myself and I hate the way that sometimes I cannot get a place that I want because of some mountain in my way. I also try to glitch my way across the mountain slope and end up falling, losing half my life, then with half life penulty dying…

I guess that in Vanguard there wouldn't really be much Pvp. I read that myself on their site. They say that the world will be more massive than that of WoW. I am just really happy that they are moving into later Beta stages and soon to be on the she…

Rogues are compensated for the horrible hit point amount with the dps and the stunning moves. Actually as was mentioned earlier there is equipment that can reduce stunning or prevent it altogether. If you are an orc than you would automatically have…

Wow has hit Asia a while ago. If you can recall the pepsi or coke commercial of Asian chicks fighting that orc. That was the movie release along with the game in Asia. There are about five million people playing and that makes it the largest mmo cur…

The expansion for wow is greatly anticipated by almost all that play. Some games spam their expansions and spit them out every friggin month (EQ) or every three months (DAOC). Wow makes patches so people do not have to pay more but this new expansio…

Many people just love to grind all the way to the top. Ofcourse it is their right as they are the ones paying for the game. I only have a problem with people that start complaining that the game is too easy or something. It is easy to say that the g…

Actually I would go for a troll warrior as you get berserk but the orcs get the rage. Tough call but I think that the innate abilities would not add too much to the choice as trolls and orcs are very similar anyway. For a variety you can go troll ro…

It does seem like a conspiracy as people seem to come back to wow no matter what. If you have ever read the message boards in wow community site than you can tell that a bunch of people quit. However whenever they say that, they are just trying to t…

Actually, I think that the class you play really has no impact. IMO the way that you play that class is what matters and your skill in playing that character. Sure it might be easy to solo to high level with a hunter or a rogue but that should not b…

I believe that it is possible to log into the USA servers even though you are in a different coutry. The only thing that you will have to put up with is latency. I think I talked to someone on my server and he said that he is from China and that's w…

The character transfers affect only certain servers to begin with. I have also heard that the transfer is disabled for the time of patching and the time around a patch release. Actually before, I believe that character transfer could be done via a p…
