So when is this supposed to be released? Are they still sticking to schedule? April 4th for PC and juce for consoles is the last date I saw.

I sent you a PM because there wasn't any point to your bs posts to me in this thread. Just like now. Do you have anything about this game to talk about? If not then take it to PMs, where we all can ignore your pathetic attempt for attention.

Very good summary of the issues involved in reputation. Your barriers to reputation working in a larger community are not as fixed as you think though. It just requires some innovative and proactive thinking on the dev's part to accomplish. We have over 6 billion people in the world now, and...

Most people here are pretty solidly against the game, and their reasons seem valid. But on other forums (that are not so jaded) there is a lot of excitement from the general populace. My "guess" is that the people here are probably pretty close to being right. The fanboys in general gaming...

You're still butthurt for jumping the gun last time I see. Since you obviously have no clue what you are talking about or about my history in these threads, why don't you go back to the political section where life is sooooo balanced and unbiased.... Keep it out of here.

Lol, it was meant half in jest and I thought was obvious hyperbole. Of course I don't think getting everyone fired or breeding devs from zygotes in a secluded room is going to save mmo's. But there is a serious issue in game developement that has everyone copy / pasting the last game they...

Welcome to modern mmos, where every game is a boring idiotic copy of every boring idiotic copy, ad nauseum. At this point the only solution is to fire every gaming dev (you included) and breed them from scratch having never played EQ, WoW or any of their endless clones.

Please, please, please let this game be real.

Didn't Second Life have a land rush of sorts? Where some of the early squatters made lots of real life cash selling it later? It was designed into the game though. Didn't play Second Life so I might be recalling that wrong, but that kind of gameplay if set up correctly can be interesting. So...

I don't want "wackamole" but I do want something better than what we have now. The whole rotation / ability bloat, while waiting for your next cooldown thing is bullshit. One of the worst examples of that is Rift. And all of it is an extention of the same tired old mechanics we have had since...

Well, the kind of failure you are talking about is subjective though. ALL mmos have failed on that metric. I don't like WoW, so by your rules it is a failure. But I would never call it that. But the question of why we don't play Rift is a good one. For me it's because it's just like all the...

Depends on what you call failure. It was, and is a financial success, much more so than the vast majority of mmos. Especially since TRION managed their costs much better than EA did with Star Wars.

I'm just going by the NYTimes article in this discussion. So you are saying that they are wrong? Why so? Because of tech? Tech doesn't solve all issues. There is a limit to how many patients a doctor can see in an hour, regardless of the tech involved.

Excellent post. A few points. I wasn't claiming that there is a decline in doctors, only that the rate of those coming in isn't keeping up with demand. Which has been an ongoing issue for some time. It is less attractive being a doctor in today's environment for all the reasons stated. As for...

Medicaid paying less for treatment is probably the most significant issue. I agree with you there. But I don't see how there is a fix possible given the current political climate. Obama is not willing to pay doctors for the work they do, and Republicans are not willing to help Obama. There is...

The fact that you have very good insurance that pays your doctor well doesn't answer the problem that the country is having as a whole, and especially Medicaid patients. Why would you think that your situation is normal for everyone? Especially poor people using Medicaid. Did you not read the...

The problem is that there are not enough doctors to treat everyone needed. And there are not enough coming up the ranks to solve the issue. Blaming one side or the other for a systemic problem is nonproductive. So what is your solution? Are you going to force doctors at gunpoint to do your...

Tell that to the person who can't get treatment. Your excuse that it "isn't that bad" is exactly the one the Republicans used to defend the old system before ObamaCare. If you can't make things better then stop making them worse. I am amazed at your ability to sound like the people you hate...

Yes, his statement was overblown. But yours also tended to overlook the problem. The amount of doctors entering the system willing to take medicare patients isn't enough to keep up with demand, that was always a serious issue. With the new rules it is exponentially worse. Is it fixable...

Medicaid Growth Could Aggravate Doctor Shortage - NYTimes.com

Eve does have it's moments. And if you like the meta-game, Eve's could be the best around. It's just lacking in the twitch department.

I'll give it a go when it comes out. The Lineage franchise is pretty good imo and I still play them occasionally. More interesting than the usual Korean grinders.

Yes, and I still have hopes for this game. What concerns me beyond the whole hopium dealer angle that Chris has taken is that the only controls on spending are on the company itself and Chris Roberts in particular. The modern studio system where the overloards are EA, Activision etc sucks for...

Prisons have a community also, that doesn't mean everyone wants to be a part of them.

My brother just informed us a few days ago that he is coming home from Afghanistan, and he might be back in time for Christmas. And this time for good. He's been away for so many years it's going to be wonderful to have him back, safe and sound. We might even have everyone together again for the...

I'm glad she asked the question and that people answered. I was wondering about those things too. Saved me the time of reading all the bs inbetween the info that goes on in these threads.

Yes, Eve's buying and selling model is great. And it caters to people who liked EC and people like me who hated it. Eve's combat is what usually puts me to sleep, or as Utnayan put it "boring as fuck". The rest of the game rules.

It was much more time than that for those of us doing bleeding edge content. You forget that we also had to get back to the spot we logged off at to start the next day's raid. Many times that involved some very dangerous runs. For tanks it wasn't worth it. And then there was the amount of...

Yeah, I never cared for the EC tunnel. Me thinks you are rose tinting the experience. Mostly it was a chore, for buying and selling. And later in the game just getting to it was a total waste of time. The "community" was just a bunch of people spamming the same thing over and over. I'm sure the...

Most mmos make money, even the crappy ones. Especially now with the new F2P changes. F2P has extended the life of many mmos that should have died long ago. I think that is the reason MMOs haven't evolved much. Devs don't feel the need to innovate when the same old tired fetch it quest model...

I really have no idea. I figure they will at least sell 500,000 "boxes" the first month or so but just because of the IP's name recognition value in the general populace. Just an interested bystander. Played Oblivion a little bit, didn't play the others. Know about the IP because Skyrim was...

Do you honestly think that I haven't played other games? You missed the point. MMOs are stale because they haven't changed. Not because I haven't tried other games a bazzlion times. Don't worry, you'll get to the same place eventually that many of us are standing at. MMOs are stale because...

It's not about how quickly you gear up, it's about the basic mechnics of MMOs in general. I'm tired of them. Been there, done that too many fucking times. After you've played a ton of MMOs, it all becomes the same. The genre needs to change for many of us to enjoy it again. I was watching the...

This isn't a statement against WoW, but against MMOs in general that have similar mechanics to that which you just described (all of them)...... FUCK THAT. Your whole paragraph almost made me give up mmo's forever.

Well even Obama's own experts concluded years ago that millions of Americans will have substantial increases in out of pocket expenses. ObamaCare is a wealth redistribution racket. That was by design. The lies Obama and the Democrats told were just to get the bill passed. And they did it...

You could be right. Like I said it is an interesting test. A ton of people, gamers included, don't read gaming forums. They just see the pretty lights and the handsome actors and go oooooh, I want one. Star Wars I made bazillions and it sucked. The IP carried it though. Even Jar Jar couldn't...

A lot of people here forget that FoH/Rerolled is a niche site. What we think of games doesn't necessarily filter out to the public. I wouldn't be suprised if TESO gets it's initial investment back, plus profit, in just the box sales alone. No matter how bad TESO may be as a game. And frankly...

True, but for the majority of players in older games like EQ and WoW they never reached max level and didn't care about the endgame. That is what has changed. A higher percentage of players rush to the endgame now. And modern MMOs encourage that. Even WoW has changed it's leveling experience and...

No, my point hasn't changed. If you misunderstood it then I probably didn't express myself well enough. I have always stated that I will judge the game for myself before deciding if it is a failure or not. Most people tend to follow the herd and their opinions become extreme. While they are not...

You could be right. But one of their main selling points is the 3 faction pvp system. And obviously some of the devs worked on Daoc. For many of us jonesing for a good multifaction pvp system, we are hoping someone, anyone, will bring it back in a way we can enjoy. We have so few options and yes...
