Having tried Wildstar this weekend and seeing how that game is pretty much the antithesis of old school... Did I see someone reference a generic game design thread here? To which Lithose's excellent analysis was copied? Because those posts are like nuggets of gold in a pile of shit in this...

I was wrong. There are those dudes, but there are some really cool people as well, and every second word on general or the fora is not 'gay' so that's a definite plus. Mea culpa, I was cranky, had a small sample and ran into some idgits.

So... My writing that I prefer a different game experience means that other people ought to be disallowed their preferred mode of playing? Brilliant thinking there, mate. Should do you very well in academia. edit: Not new here, been here before Vanguard beta 3, in fact. Or 'there', more...

My pleasure. You'll find it itemized in the invoice under 'misc. humour'

All right, I'll try to give an example of how NOT having rapid-fire questing may improve a game. How Wildstar does quests: 'A new quest hub! I see 4, no, 6 exclamation marks, that's 12 to 15 clicks without reading, because who the fuck cares why you need bear asses. Not interested in your...

Making a lot of assumptions here, aren't we? Shortly put, you're wrong. No justifications necessary, as you offered none, eh?

Or anti-intellectual and up for spastic, bombastic, 'humour.' I know, personal bias... Ruined by training and collaborators am I, alas. Actually, I like children a lot, even other people's children. The straightforward (at first, haha!) communication of wants and don'twants, being in the moment...

Are you serious? I only played a little in the stress test and from what I can see, it's a bunch of instant gratification dolts. edited to add: and I was wrong. There are those dudes, but there are some really cool people as well, and every second word on general or the fora is not 'gay' so...

Same. The game is also very cluttered visually. I kinda-sorta like the animations. I do not like having to click twice or thrice to accept a collect bear asses quest. Even less for the stuff that would be a bonus or area mission in SWTOR. Also, the humour is blech. I honestly don't see the...

Now now, no reason to mangle a perfectly good pun. Also, I've booked a time with a pretty good therapist for Monday. Fucking tired of living this way.

Well... They wouldn't be self-interested agents otherwise, now would they? Seriously though, the strategic actions of the IPR holders pretty much pre-empt fair and reasonable contracting into a society, either in the Rawlsian or Habermasian sense. The amusing and disheartening thing to see...

Well, to put it bluntly, we were madly in love and full-on tards believing thatour relationship is different.Which is why I now advocate living together for some years before proposing. And a big factor is that our interests went separate ways, you know? I was hell-bent on having kids when we...

How do I deal with depression? Mostly, I don't. This is not a good thing. So far, I've not created any really big problems for myself, but enough that I know I need to do something about it in the interest of not having a fucked up rest of my life. So, I guess my advice to those who haven't yet...

And where did you get the idea that lawyers are smart? edit: Yeah, we've both realized we're not happy and we're selling the apartment and so forth. I wouldn't say the D is a done thing, because it isn't, but we've both said we don't care to go on living this way. But that kind of spoils...

Well, I definitely preferred giving the dick. So that I'm not just taking but giving a little: We met at a friend's party and I chatted her up, after the first date she told me she wasn't interest, I kept my cool, we were 'just friends' for two weeks before she gave in and we got married a...

Ok, more on-topic reply now. Grumps and noodlz, hope you won't regret it, probably will. American family law really sucks. For those who can do it, look into emigrating to Europe. EU hasn't harmonized family law (though the idgits around the Mediterranean try to lobby for it) so there's a...

I guess you'd better prepare to be fucked. There's a ton of misconceptions in this thread. You edited: naive laymen need to understand that marriage is a private law instrument that governs what happens to your propertywhenthe marriage terminates (by divorce or death) and who is the man...

Well, I let my old guild know about this game. Not even a thread on their forums about this game! United Kingdoms was a pretty big guild, if not bleeding edge. We used to have tons of real-life friends get exposed to EQ and EQ2 by knowing a UK member IRL, and I don't think that's gone anywhere...
