I"ve been a big Denver fan my entire life. I"ve got a few pieces of memorabilia signed by the superbowl 32 Broncos. Elway, TD, Atwater, Sharpe.. etc. Ive also got a signed photo from the Av"s (circa 2002). Its got Roy, Sakic, Blake, etc. My pop"s got a signed team football from the 62...

Its because they spend a lot of time using gear to balance progression. WoW"s distrobution is based off of roughly where they expect (and often want) a player to be at that point in their raid progression. So they try to evenly distribute dps/tank/healer gear throughout the instance. Thats the...

Talk about shitstaining a perfectly good thread. Can posts be rickshawed? Even if there was some contribution.... at this point it"s just ass-vomit. Moving on.... I"m with you. I prefer the idea of gradual progression - consistently building upon the achievements of the past. No doubt WoW...

I have to disagree.. Its the freudian/psychosis elements in gaming that will keep the powergamer alive and successful within the gaming community well into the future. The whole concept of the "haves"" providing large amounts of motivation to the "have-nots""....... (i.e.... e-peenor envy is a...

I disagree. Theres still alot of improvement to be had on WoW. Truth be told - I think it was leaps and bounds above the first gen games - eq / daoc etc. But it still has its rough spots. Just look at the hype WAR is getting. Its fantasy - and don"t doubt for a second that it wont be a big...

I agree and disagree - I"d agree that the market is harder, in that a "better" MMO needs to be released now in order to gain even a portion of the subs that WoW has. Wasn"t it reported that WoW cost almost 4 times to develop than many of the MMO"s which were created at roughly the same time...
