Well two things. If I had a mortgage/car payment I would fee guilty putting down more than $50 on any game real or not. To me the fact that I was on the hook for that much would make me incredibly uneasy spending almost any money. Hell I remember when I almost got a house how I was working...

I don't disagree the slightest. I took a leap off a cliff on the promise of pillows. It had nothing to do with being a sound investment. It had everything to do with hopes and dreams. I tried very hard to keep up with their management of expectations but I also realize they might not be able...

Posting this I know I will open myself up for criticism but I'm one of those who spent thousands of dollars on SC. I live alone so the only person I'm screwing over is me. No worries about kids left unfed or homeless. Why? I have a job that allows me to spend that kind of money but even...

Don't forget to pull out your Chocobo, once you unlock it, and use it for every single fight you can. It will still probably take you 3 class/job leveling to 50 before you max it out but at least it won't feel so much like straight up grinding. You can thank me later. One last point. When...

Yeah some aren't the sharpest knives. Also Chris noted that world ownership (buildings and not necessarily the planet) will come post launch. I can't compare it to EvE because I don't know how EVE's works. He said they will allow players to own/build some industry on some planets by launch...

FYI Chris has described further how the game world pans out in the latest 10 for the Chairman. Long story short he is trying to manage expectations here. This directly answers concerns about both feature creep and world building. Major trade hubs will be hand built along with some smaller...

First of all you answered your own question. MS broke the fundamental features of its own OS with a service pack. Trying to figure out with KB does what so it doesn't FUBAR your system gives me flashbacks to Windows Me. Second the reason why a Console OS is so amazing is because all of the...

This is actually a very good point. Not sure how much work it would take to make current and nearly released MMOs make use of it through. Glide no longer exists for a good reason and it's quite possible Mantle will go that way too. In the long term it's far more likely that it will get cut up...

I wanted to toss my 2c in on instancing and general game design direction. I lot of games seem to be going the instance route over open world. Heck that's how most of them have been since the console dominating the gaming market. It appears to be a combination of client hardware required...

Just to clarify it's not a faction hit unless you consider the majority of your faction being blown away. CR and other devs repeatedly stated that the intention is to have the new character keep "some" of the faction the old one had to reflect that they were related/close etc but it's not the...

Dyvim what suits? Last time I checked CIG had no board of directors or any of that bullshit overhead. It's up to Chris. He decides if he wants the game/company to sink or swim. The death penalty is planned so you wake up in a hospital bed and depending on how you were injured your body...

You have a right to your own opinions but you don't have a right to your own facts. Claiming that all we have seen is trailers is false. We already have a Hanger module with some basic functionality with some of the original ships. It's not much but it gives you a very rough idea of the scope...

It's EVE-Lite not EVE. Insurance means you get the ship back in stock form or all of it including all mods if in UEE space. They want it to work just like car insurance. Which is both scary and hilarious but quite fitting.

Another important point. Investors want the safest/fastest return on investment. That's why you see watered down unfinished games that are made for an ever growing "wider" audience. It's why niche games have ended up in the "indie" pool and it's why we are drowning in mediocrity at the AAA...

Pretty sure I read somewhere that they would allow you to keep going beyond your final death but the cost would be... prohibitive. A reflection on both the relative wealth of the individual in society and the high cost of keeping a dead man alive. You can call it a cash grab if you will as...

No cash shop for ships at release or ever. They want you to earn the ships in game. The pledge store isn't a cash shop for ships either. It's a pledge store that gives you items like ships as a bonus. Now that's not how a lot of people see it. They see it as a cash shop for ships...
