  • The petition is over 20,000 now.  Really with the architect, they don't even need to keep adding new content.  Maybe if NCsoft won't respond by keeping the game open, someone else will see that it has a ready-made playerpase of passionate fans.  Be …
  • Originally posted by Beatnik59 Fight the power that be! Seiously though, good luck.  This is one game that ought to be saved, and one community that can do it, if we believe!   Yeah, I signed the petition.  Lots of nice folks playing that gam…
  • Hmm. PvP 2.0 with a pay to win business model.  Sounds grim.  Right now my MMO hobby consists exclusively of beta testing.  I think I'll just stick with that for now .  Thanks for the info.
  • I grew up on Star Wars.  Saw it as a little kid on the big screen when it first came out.  I was mesmerized.  It was like magic.  To see this story dragged through all the crap it was in this MMO was a real shame I must say.  I'm glad it's over.  I …
  • I'd like to comment on this portion of the roundtable discussion: "Jeff from Ten Ton Hammer then asked why the team couldn’t seem to hit that monthly stride.  Essentially, Mark says, they just found out how hard the process was once the game was l…
  • I found a thought-provoking article about game reviews in general written by a gaming journalist at this link: http://nohighscores.com/node/508 I have no idea whether or not this guy's experience is typical, but it was an interesting read.  As for…
  • Originally posted by Quizzical Interesting article.  I was expecting yet another case of the media telling you that the media are important. I was aware that publishers tried to pressure game media sources.  But telling them, the day you can post …
  • Originally posted by FikusOfAhazi ArcAngel3, what's going on! Good read. Forums are getting infested too. The poser to gamer ratio is slimming. It's gotta be hard being in the media. What to do? Nice seeing ya around again. Hope you've been we…
  • Your highlighting a fundemental flaw in the game makes a lot of sense to me.  I think really that it's just the latest in a list of fundamental flaws people have been trying to highlight (e.g. chat system, pvp exploits). If the endgame content is …

  • Originally posted by Isane I think its a fair cop get the FTC involved. If someone wants to use the FTP tag for any game then under no circumstance should that game be allowed to take credit card information from a customer as part of the game set…
  • Originally posted by WSIMike Originally posted by ArcAngel3    Here's a link to one presentation I saw re. RMT: http://www.slideshare.net/amyjokim/virtual-goods-why-how-they-work Awesome. Thank you for providing that. I watched that…
  • Originally posted by WSIMike Originally posted by ArcAngel3    If you saw the training material for F2P devs, you'd be even more convinced of your position.  They are instructed in how to hook people into a game, create dependence on virtua…

  • Originally posted by wfSeg Those F2P with cash shops that sells items based on chance are basically online casinos (with no payout). Just keep pouring in real cash for a chance at getting something. Case in point, Atlantica's boxes. That's gambling.…
  • Based on everything I've read in this thread (some good reading btw) players do not believe that the NGE was an isolated incident. One of the main problems Smed actually admitted to once was not listening to players.  I'll agree with him on that o…
  • Here are a few questions I'd have for providers of F2P (i.e. RMT) games: Do you really ask minors to click on EULAs that are written by your lawyers using language written by and for adults? Do you really accept credit card transactions from min…
