  • The 500sc was the main reason I subbed ps2. I canceled on the item announcement. Good on you, soe.
  • Originally posted by NBlitz What took them so long? The fact that this was actually a really good mmo out of the gates, most likely.  I've been trying other things, but I'll be heading back with this announcement.
  • At the outset, I was more excited for TOR, but the more I see the "game" the more that excitement is quelled.  The cinematic trailers are well done, but they do not a great game make, and the more I see of the actual gameplay, the less enthusiastic …
  • I thought LotRO did a great job of tackling this problem with the Rift.  Each boss dropped a token that could be turned in to class specific barterers in order to get the next item of a set.  Players knew that Boss X would drop a boot token, Boss Y …
  • I'm sure to get flamed for this, but what game are you guys playing?  It took 2 days to download all the patches (yes ports are forwarded properly with plenty of available connections) only to have the game fail to launch due to one corrupt file.  T…
  • Good article, Justin, though you'd have better results addressing it to The Whale -- Ahab obviously isn't listening.
  • Wow! Such derision, and from people who boldly admit to never trying the system!  I can understand opinions on both sides, but I'll judge each instance of f2p individually before condemning the lot -- I learned my lesson after Runes of Magic.  If f2…
  • Originally posted by bobbler I remember most of you...but you wont remember me. As I am more of a lurker... Same!  This is really one of the few sites I've stuck with, though I've avoided the trollums, er forums for a while.
  • Sorry to see you go, Sanya.  Your columns were tremendously insightful and always entertaining -- they will be sorely missed.  Good luck in your future endeavors!
  • Originally posted by Dkompoze I would say  DO NOT PURCHASE any video cards at this time, save your money and wait until August/September. Nvidia will be releasing the first card that supports Direct x 11 the GT300 series. Which everyone will even…

  • For questions regarding video cards (this is an increasingly hot topic here), I have a few recommendations:   * Tom's Hardware:  Covers all manner of tech.  It also now carries reportedly updated video benchmarks for all classes and prices - h…
  • Originally posted by Loke666 I dont see how using a motion suit to get the animations to look a lot more real would influense the server performance. However to use collision detection to actually make the sword hit the opponent will, yes. And I th…
  • The boss will immediately ask two questions when this is brought up: first how will it impact server performance, and then how will it impact client performance.  Keep in mind, this impact must scale with the expected number of players that will be …
  • Originally posted by jimsmith08  its not something you do now and again! The intros are seperate from the actual game world and take all of 20 minutes to do and can even be skipped. the human starter area, before you get to the burning of archet,…
  • Originally posted by jimsmith08 in lotro youre killing wolves,boars and spiders (human area) cave claws, wolves and lynx (dwarf/elf) Bree land: more bears and boars, wolves (old forest) bandits ered luin: bears, boars, dwarf bandits, spiders Lone…
  • For those of you saying. "What's wrong with the early quests?  They have to teach us how to play the game,"  I invite you to play the first 15 levels of Lord of the Rings Online.  There is no comparison.  LotRO does a vastly superior job of immersin…
  • Originally posted by Aganazer I'm starting to think that people don't really *play* MMORPG's anymore. All they do now is learn enough so that they can complain about them on the internet.   ROFLMAO!  SOOOOOO true!  This would be my sig now…
  • Great anecdote!  It exposes a rarely talked about but oft experienced side of the creative process.
  • Originally posted by mechwarrior Originally posted by UnSub Originally posted by mechwarrior I've never heard of game failing because it did not receive enough hype. Have any of us? You might not have heard of it because it didn't get eno…
