Conservative spotted PS Gecko, does "the three amigos" and "uno" ring a bell to you?

Ngruk, if you are a betting man, we can argue about which of the Kennedy "heirs" gets Teddy"s seat. That seat is pretty much the Kennedy seat, nobody else will go there. I hate political dynasties, but that"s the reality of the thing. I have no clue about your political views beyond the...

Curt is republican (or at least supported McCain). There is zero chance that a senator will go to a republican in mass, maybe governor, not senator.

Offline character development was done by Eve already. It has its pros and cons, the cons are that if you do not start right away, you are fucked. The atlernative of course is to have a "gated" advancement with a heavily logarithmic curve, but that still doesn"t do much. A trillian plug in to...

Cylus, while I agree that in general the 1% on boards (or even less than 1%) is not a minority worth directly catering too, spreading word of mouth rumours about an upcoming game is some of the cheapest marketing you can get. I imagine almost all of us try games because friends we trust...

aren"t you denying yourself a lot of free "hype" that way?

Dude, there are simple reasons why various execs/designers don"t post here and they have nothing to do with what you said. Be more intellectually honest. Furor does not post here because when he did last the official forums erupted complaining that he posted on his own guild"s forums but not...

Dude, by any reasonable metric, "I have been around the industry" seems to imply a higher degree of participation than merely playing the video games. You know, because if you replaced "I have been around the industry" with "I have played MMOs for x many years" suddenly you lose any pretense of...

that still does not make you in the industry dude sorry if this needs to be pointed out to you. before you go all balistic on me and point out that tigole and furor had no design experience either let me quote Bentsen: "Utnayan, you are no Tigole or Furor" In the end we all agree that so...

"I have been in the industry for over 10 years" doesn"t mean "I have played MMOs for over 10 years" because by that metric everyone here is a MMO industry veteran.

Not that i"d ever use a service like azeroth advisor, but even if curt used it to track what people enjoy, how can you complain about that? My only concern is that the type of person that is likely to use such a service is most likely excessively casual, so you will get a skewed perspective...

this is how everyone should take developer discussions

jesus christ i read this post while listening to this: YouTube - Eminem - Stan: MTV Long Version

Ut, you really have some skewed perspective there. Do you really think people need you to tell them that Ngruk is posting here for PR? It is obvious he is here because he wants to communicate with a plausible audience for his game - I doubt he is making an MMO just for the money, since...

I predict that a lot of the people who are casually looking to Aionn are going to be very disappointed once they hit exp curve takes them off guard with how steep it becomes Addendum: Newerth and Quakelive are enough to fill my non-MMO cravings when they hit
