Login server is getting nailed seems to be the logical answer although I would think you are past then when you get to char select.

Wow some servers already have queues.

Wonder if the WiiU is going to dip below $299 in any of these sales, I'd consider picking one up for the kids.

I play on a fairly low pop server (Bladefist) and didn't have that much trouble with queues, about a 15 min wait at around 7PM EST. Played for a few hours before having to log (real life stuff is actually a thing when you get older, imagine that), the lag was there but was manageable. So far I...

I think it's a little bit of both. I think in some ways their hands are tied with a lot of this shit but then they realize it'll make them money and casually are able to turn a blind eye to it. I think they are flat out lying when they say it's about negotiating with the developer when in...

New Humble bundle Humble Jumbo Bundle 3 (pay what you want and help charity) I've got 3 copies of Insurgency, anyone want? I also have extra copies of Risk of Rain if anyone wants. Just shoot me a pm. ETA: All gone

Saw it last night and I thought it was very good. It didn't feel long and that's a good indicator of how good a movie is. I give it an 8.5. Some tough parts to get though, specifically when he was watching the messages and seeing his boy grow up.

Not great considering I was always under the assumption the PvP was the primary selling point of this game. And it's not like the fallback (PvE) is any good.

All I know is people scoffed when they announced Hearthstone as just another generic CCG and now it seems they are printing money with it. You people are jaded, this is Blizzard with a new IP, you bet your ass people are going to play it. The fact that its TF2 with Blizzard behind it is just...

Are any of those really any good (on the level on TF2)? Not saying this is going to be, but it's got a chance. They took a tired genre (CCG) and turned into something before (Hearthstone).

This is from the wow insider liveblog: Titan rumors suggested a Destiny-like game set on Earth, using real world maps of real world locations. Overwatch is less Destiny, more Team Fortress 2. Locals are stylized rather than realistic, small maps rather than MMO-scale cities. Titan the MMO was...

Page is up and the beta link works now. Hey at least they are trying something different. If it's as good as TF2 it'll get a shitload of players. I'm interested in Bethesda's product as well.

It could be players were looking at Auroria as content since that was how Trion advertised it but it sounds like it's only content to those in large guilds that either have a castle or have the resources to challenge for one. I've seen that mob drops on the new land are pretty pathetic and...

The amount of characters so far is mind blowing.

Future TF2, but it looks amazing.

I thought the latest episode was pretty good actually. Dandy is pretty psychotic. Most of the characters has a little bit of crazy in them.

They'll be showing this at Blizzcon

This sounds like a great game, it's too bad it doesn't exist on a majority of Archeage's servers.

That's interesting, I thought it was a open world PVP game.

I guess that's what seems ridiculous to me, that you actually have to spend gold for 'permission' to assault a castle. It's still 'gated' PvP, only the difference here is you are spending gold on an item to do a siege versus entering some battleground.

How often do the scrolls show up on the AH? Paying gold to prevent sieges must be the Korean version of cockblocking.

ISTJ, which is pretty close to accurate. For some reason I'm not surprised most on here are an I.

I'm starting to believe most servers are like this currently.

I think the better lesson is if you allow ways for players to bypass or largely avoid PvP in what is supposed to be a PvP game, a majority of players are going to take advantage of that as much as they can. Also, everyone wants to be a wolf but only if the wolf has clear advantages over the sheep.

Honesty I think auroria is keeping people around. If for some reason it doesn't live up to what people want out of it, I think your going to start seeing players drop through November . Its not like that game is all that but there isn't anything else like it out there.

Finally got the see this and thought it was very good. I knew a little about it going in and I thought the acting was superb. One note on the ending The only wtf moment for me was

Around here, Pre-K is pretty much 'kindergarten' (or what it used to be) and if you have two working parents it's the most logical place for them to go if you can afford it since it does give them an advantage when they get into elementary school. Kindergarten these days isn't play doh and...

Graphics and UI look like a poor mans EQ2, which is saying a lot.

I think the average person who played EQ in the 'glory years' even acknowledges that Vanilla WoW was the better game in almost every facet but the clamor for a remake of vanilla WoW isn't as strong on these boards than for a remake of EQ. I wonder if that's simply because EQ was 'first' and no...

The graph I linked earlier bears this out. You'll notice that EQ subs actually spike in mid-2004 (GoD came out in Feb of 04) but like you said, it was such a shitpile and WoW was looking all that that there really wasn't a hard choice at that point. But it also proves that it wasn't simply GoD...

I'm kind of the same way, I get all exciting about playing a game I haven't played in forever (Ultima VI was the latest) and then a few hours later I'm over it. I'd love playing these games but I know I won't devote the time necessary to enjoy them. Then you start realizing you should be...

What bixxby said is correct, WoW is successful because it is simply the best product on the market for what it does. This isn't any different when EQ was riding high, at the time (1999-2003) it was successful because it was the best product on the market. A better product came out in 2004 and...

Jessica Lange/Kathy Bates carry this show. Angela Basset isn't bad either although she hasn't really done much this season yet.

The fact is by the time 2004 rolled around, most EQ players were ready to jump ship as soon as something 'better' came around. That's not opinion as EQ subscription numbers take a nosedive at pretty much the same time that WoW/EQ2 launched. http://users.telenet.be/mmodata/Charts/Subs-2.png...

I agree there really are no 'good guy' characters although most of the performers are tragic figures, especially the bearded lady. Be interesting to see how the clown/pretty rich boy start to tie in with the carnival.

While that may be true, AC had personality and felt unique and I'm hearing this doesn't. There was some great voice over lines 'Einstien must be rolling in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded.' Chairman Yang.

We did a whole lot of research (my daughter started daycare when she was a baby). She went to a Goddard for the first couple of years and it was ok. She had a great daycare teacher who also happened to be a nurse which was great when she was a baby. We then moved to a different Goddard and...

If they are going to kill/get rid of anyone, why wouldn't it be Hulk? It would go along with the comics in a sense.

There was a GM on our server last night making the rounds hunting bots (they are relying entirely on player reports, I would of thought that had some sort of program to track that) and I asked him what happens if you sell something that is buyer bought with dirty gold and I got the nebulous...

The hits just keep on coming. Wonder if NCSoft is going to shitcan this in the next 6 months.
