I hope it goes back up a bit. I bought at $120 thinking it would rebound. =x

I'm thinking: What was that guy passing around in his class and/or smoking when he wrote this?

Sounds like a corrupted application file. You could try to figure it out, but might as well just reinstall if you have time.

Careful about giving out invites in the open on the forum. RevoTT banned me (and every single person I'd invited, from here and from elsewhere) for doing exactly that after finding my posts here. They told me I was "trading invites". Even though I was doing no such thing, they don't give a shit...

This. People who don't back up their shit deserve their fate. ROM files are called ROM files because they are used to program ROM chips, or more appropriately in this case, EEPROMs (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), nothing more complicated than that.

Number of accounts stat goes right out the window when any game goes F2P.

Not even open for a couple months and already giving in to the players and making the place less classic? Heh.

Hah. I had no idea, but a MUD that I co-ran a long time ago is still up. Return of the Shadow, a Tolkien-inspired MUD set in the fourth age (well after the Lord of the Rings). rots.us 3791. Was a neat idea, but the place is completely dead now. There's a whole 1 person on right now other than...

Only if you RMT bro. Am I doing it right?

Uh. Wow. Maybe I should resurrect that Classic EQ server I was working on after all.

Oh, now this should be cute. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/...tcoin-tax.html I'd love to know how they're going to figure out that any one person has been trading in BTC (or any other virtual currency) in order to capture it on a tax return... I love the comments on that story...

It can play Flash and HTML5 based games reasonably. You can also run ChrUbuntu on it if you want more capability.

I'd rather not wave my phone around all the time, depending on where I am. In public, people get their phones stolen all the time because they're paying more attention to the phone than to their surroundings, some workplaces don't exactly allow cell phone usage, etc. The watch lets me control...

That's ok, his replacement,nipuhoq, has arrived to save the day!

Heh. You can talk about the creation of a character, but you can't share a screenshot of the creation of a character. Wow. http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Tes...n-and-Gridania

Oh, give me a break. People from every top guild on P99 exploited, and it was known to their officers at the time. IB was no exception. Quit trying to spin.

Meh. I don't think it's Enix's fault. It's a product of the times. None of the great game studios of old have skated by without some shitty product to drag them down.

Careful. This is SqEnix. You may yet get your wish.

I played on MUME (Lord of the Rings MUD, was quite large in its heyday,http://mume.org) since 1993 or so until a few years ago. Ended up taking on a builder role at some point in the late 90s and became a programmer/"GM" afterward. I am retired now. It was a great place, but it has failed to...

Well, shit. That happened faster than I'd hoped it would. I only made back about $600. I'm guessing this will pretty much destroy any chance of turning a profit with GPUs, but we'll see how quickly they ship the lot and what it'll do to the various pools.

No idea, bought mine and my wife's off Kickstarter and they've been shipping the preorders for weeks now. They were very, very late on fulfilling KS orders, but now that they have their production line up and running, it shouldn't be too bad. All I know is I'm super impressed by the work that's...

So, Aion without wings, and set in China? Sounds like a pass.

Yep: Thank you for your participation in the beta test for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. The testing schedule is detailed below. - Dates and Times: April 26, 2013 (Friday), 2:00 a.m. to April 28, 2013 (Sunday), 2:00 a.m. (PDT) * Beta test phase 2 will come to an end on Sunday...

Wait, what? Is this for real? If so, no amount of effort will save this server.

True story. Thanks for reminding me.

Eren is a whiny bitch. He needs to grow a pair, then it'll be a damn good series. Now, Mikasa, on the other hand... hell yes.

The devil is in the security. You don't want developers to be able to do too much to the database unless you trust them implicitly, and some of the in-game #commands aren't all that great for doing things like loot tables. It's easier to do that stuff directly in the database with certain tools...

This shit is getting awesome. New watchfaces every day.

It's nothing like FFXI's UI. In fact, it's very "modern MMO" esque, so pretty much cookie-cutter.

Who the hell would want to buy plat on this useless server?

Pathing and spawn information is entirely server-side. It would require written knowledge of the pathing/spawns to recreate everything to the letter, and you're right, a lot of that is potentially lost for the lesser mobs of Norrath. There's also an awful lot of information out there that isn't...

I'm quite frankly bewildered that producers still allow designers to use invisible walls as a cop-out. It wouldn't be all that difficult to design such that they weren't necessary. All they do is make something that looks like it should be open look like it's poorly designed. If it's visible...

Be that as it may, invisible walls are the telltale sign of craptastic level designers. Exploration should be possible until you get somewhere that you can't pass for actual game-related reasons (i.e. a mountain you can't climb, a gate you can't pass, a sheer drop that will kill you, etc)...

This. It's not just content, it's data as well. Stats on items are wrong. Names are wrong. Spawns are wrong and even when they are half-right, loot tables are wrong, and spawn variations are wrong. Even when all of that is right, dependencies and spawn conditions are wrong. Even when that's...

I found lots of invisible walls. Lots of them. They make no sense whatsoever and they're very aggravating. I hope someone got slapped around for this and they aren't as pervasive in other areas of the game, but somehow, I doubt it.

Calling bullshit on this, my daughter's two weeks old and I've lost every single argument with her so far.

Depends on when the indexing's done and who's doing it. You never know. Don't post it unless you want it potentially seen by whoever might happen upon it.

This is indeed what he said, unless he's changed his mind.

Why anyone would post anything about their dealings with Silk Road in a public (indexed) forum is beyond me. Why not just throw a neon sign out your window?

I haven't seen you on yet except when you were afk once!
