The MMO community is purely a different breed of gamer, and an entirely separate market. I was getting 20 gift requests a day from friends on Facebook, and I hadn't even touched the game. One day my mother called and asked me to join and accept …

I received an email today with account recovery instructions. Curiously I went to my old guild forums and sure enough someone made a post about my paladin alt being logged in and not responding to tells. It has been over six months since I've logg…

Originally posted by nakuma when you start charging money for a product its not no longer a trial but a service. I have a job, but why would I need to pay them $1 for the opportunity to play their game for 7 days. That is not a trial here is what…

If you can't pay a dollar for a weeks worth of unrestricted game play, then you're probably not a potential customer. I think this is probably the best thing they could do for the community to keep nuisances away from the game, and the people who c…

This is so absurd.. how on earth could you not recognize the greatest MMO gateway drug of them all. It has to be the game of the year; 60 million players, billions of clicks on cows and chickens and corn and such. Mouse clicks and daily logins tel…

Originally posted by Timzilla Originally posted by ktanner3 Yes, there is a set number of skill points. You won't be able to be an expert on everything. You can be a jack of all trades if that is how you want to spend your skills, but you won't…

Originally posted by Zorndorf Originally posted by ebonfire Originally posted by Zorndorf You can tie this in for every succesful economic product in its range ... in our society. But the analogy doesn't make sense because every succesful…

Originally posted by Zorndorf Originally posted by ebonfire It would be different if he was arguing the connecting as a weak analogy, or logical fallacy, but to define the boundaries of an argument by personal feelings that are by no means ac…

Originally posted by Ilvaldyr Originally posted by lord_seru Originally posted by Ilvaldyr Hmm. So then, you've played WoW? Up to level 80? You've done the 25 man hard-mode raids? You're in a top-rated arena team? Presumably so, since you're…

Originally posted by Zorgo Please highlight the portion of my post which declares I am proud of my contribution to culture and society I've made through WoW. My point had to do with your use of non-gaming press to declare what the best game of the…

Originally posted by Gylfi Lol good going. How bout www.madonna.com, since you linked non-gaming sites? I'm sorry but you can't find a game that has more power or is bigger than WoW. Just deal with it. And that's as much as i hate it. Should i repea…

Originally posted by Teala [Mod Edit] Nope...sorry to burst your bubble, but WoW has had more of a social impact than all those games put together. It permeates our society now. To say that WoW has not been the biggest game of the decade m…

I'd give WoW credit for being MMO of the decade... but game? I hear people talking about console game a lot, but I can't remember the last time I heard someone talk about WoW out in public. I'm forced into a pretty social role normally between my…

I first heard about Metaplace during its stress test on Myspace at the beginning of 2008, and I quickly applied for beta when they opened applications. The platform was said to be ’an MMO out of the box,’ but didn’t have to be a ’game’ per say. Wh…

I once took a special poo. It stank, and it was full of bad stuff like e.coli, but it sure was special. So I asked ,"why should I keep you around Mr. Special Poo", and I expected to to get up and dance or something. I told it to give me a reason…

Originally posted by wisesquirrel I just realized, if these MMOs were new in their time which was what made them so popular and fun. Why not make something that is new to us the gamers of today? No more lazy skill button mash combat, make it …

If you could offer the state of the game right before the expansion patch that took them out of what people term as 'classic'.. I'd say yes. SWG had fun hunting parties before mounts and speeders. There was also a lot of back and forth pvp raids …
