    Sounds like Greater Shadow Amuli and Atlan weapons from Asheron's Call. I think PP GSA sold for... $300-500? Nexxus sold for $10,000... and then was deleted from the server.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    No doubt. But if he has enough support then he'll be able to overcome the opposition...hopefully.

    amanda berry found..more importantly, awesome black man in cleveland.

    She's actually pretty good looking but it's her jaw movements that make her look retarded. Maybe she could speak at your level of expectations if she wasn't the most abused of the three. She only had her face broken to the point of requiring facial reconstruction surgery. Oh and she's lost...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Agreeing with you just feels so...wrong but in this case I do, oh so much. An unfortunate event, and nothing more {no evidence of racism}, that we can't change barring Doc Brown showing up in a fucking DeLorean>>>a quagmire that has the potential to effect the privacy and well-being of...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Rand Paul is leading the pack of GOP candidates for the 2016 election and is very similar to his father. The guy is a very impressive speaker and is a very libertarian/republican. Excited for the prospect of him winning an election and reigning in the federal government...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    My problem with this whole mess is that there are far more important things in this country we should be discussing such as the NSA leaks/ Edward Snowden, and that our rights are being trampled by the government, and several other pressing issues but the press and public is so preoccupied with...

    I know nothing about the game but I'd say you are wrong here: I just don't see it happening and I love destructible terrain. Red Faction for the original Playstation was one of the most fun multiplayer FPS experiences eveeeeeer!

    I said in another post that FTP is probably one of the more harmful things to the genre. Here's a quick list with explanations. ------------------------------------------------------ INSTANCING Terrible design by it's own right but is also responsible for other detrimental design...

    This interview makes me hopeful. They refer to the world as a persistent virtual world/virtual life with heavy sociability. Let's see if they blow it by selling server transfers.

    Teekey, read the last end of my post right above yours in re: to Wildstar. It's decent (up to lvl 6) but if that game turns out to be the most successful of this generation of MMORPG's then I fear that it may be the deathnail for innovation. The genre may stagnate even more than it has over...

    Well he was quoted saying that Everquest Next will be Pay-to-Play October 18th, 2012 which is AFTER you're claiming he moved everything to FTP. Show me one link, one quote, anything after Oct. 18th that points to it being FTP. Also, if this game fails and Wildstar is successful (Wildstar is...

    Tad10, Can you back this up instead of being a twit and just saying that you're right in regards to Everquest Next being FTP? See I can actually cite my information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EverQuest_Next If the game launches with a subscription model then it sounds like you're full...

    By definition a sandbox game is a game where you can do whatever the fuck you want. If you want to sit in a dungeon all day then that's your prerogative. Just because you choose to play it in a theme park fashion doesn't make it any less of a sandbox. Also... Sony has said this is a...

    If this is true then they deserve props for it. I think cash shops are the single worst thing to happen to the genre behind instancing and "queuing". If they aren't using a cash shop then UT has to be wrong...right?

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Yes. It's absurd to think that TESO'S performance will have any influence on Bethesda's decision to continue to produce immensely popular single player RPGs that they've been making for over twenty years.

    If a publisher wants to create a successful MMORPG then instead of hiring designers like Matt Fior, they need to hire a psychiatrist such as the modern equivalent of Sigmund Freud. Study human motivations; what we find fun, enjoyable, and what evolutionary instincts drive us. Unfortunately...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Bullshit. The worst PvP games are games designed from the ground up as PvP-centric, while the best PvP games have traditionally been PvE games. The only exceptions to this rule were EVE and to a lesser extent Shadowbane and DaoC. Ultima Online, Asheron's Call (Darktide), and Everquest are...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Game is the most linear MMO I've ever played and honestly feels more like a Final Fantasy than MMO or a Final Fantasy in an MMO setting. ...does this change at higher levels? Does the world open up? Or is it quest to quest to quest? It's not even a breadcrumb trail so much as being stuck...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yep. But why? Western MMOs seem to be about ten years behind their eastern counterparts graphically. As absurd as that sounds, it's not hyperbole. Maybe there's a popular third party studio that specializes in art and animations that contracts its work out?

    This is like someone getting caught doing something stupid and then expousing, "do you really think I'm stupid enough to do...?" It's a strawman copout. Whether you are stupid enough to use the same name across separate forums as a paid shill is largely irrelevant because the fact of the...

    Some really negative stuff on the forums from players who got to 20+. Dungeons are linear, boring, and repetitive. Also, partying is harshly punished. Party size in dungeons is only four! With tons of people parroting that sentiment. This is only phase 1 so we'll see where they go from...

    Basically why I haven't commented on anything except the graphics. Game does feel "limited" atm, which is to expect, when you're only given a handful of available classes.

    I am not a fan of Final Fantasy's. They are probably my least favorite prolific RPG series. I was not foaming at the mouth to play this game, I was foaming at the mouth to play a decent game - of which there has been a dearth of. Did not say I liked the game but rather that the first couple...

    I actually got my account for a lot less than $150. They were selling like hotcakes for $60-$80 on the MMO auction sites. Tons of [WTB] threads and all of the [WTS] threads sold within hours; basically attacked by dozens of posters scrambling to try and buy up the accounts. I got lucky and...

    I can not comprehend how asian developers are able to produce MMOs that are so visually stunning, and out of all of those this one takes the cake. This game may have shortcomings, but the visuals are not one of them. How do we (westerners) continually put out shit like Warhammer Online, a game...

    If your account isn't worth $150 then why don't you take advantage of someone overvaluing it and get rid of it for more than it's worth?

    Still looking for a beta account. I'm willing to pay around $150 (negotiable) and send first as long as you're a credible poster here. I'd like to start playing by tomorrow so send me a pm.

    It's not whether the game is worth $150 or not but rather whether the hours of entertainment I'd derive from playing this beta is worth $150.
