Fox monk. I don"t care if a guy likes to play a girl in EQ or the proverbial 100-pound weakling wants to play the equivalent of an 500 lb Tauren Warrior in WoW. But I leave my fantasy at ./exit (or whatever the equiv is for WoW). Dolphinoplasty - Clips - South Park Studios

My vote iis for RRHoS. Retard just works for me... * * * It"s all still so confusing to me -- I really don"t care if you"re a pre-op transgender who wants to be referred to with female pronouns, use the ladies room, and etc. I don"t care if your gay (indeed I"m going to go out on a short...

I"ll fess up that I didn"t figure out Millie was born with a penis until mid to late 2004 and even then I just assumed the whole don"t talk about it schtick was some FoH guild transgender in-joke that a non-FoH member like moi couldn"t possibly figure out and would never be explained to me so it...

My humble attempt to explain it all... I know it doesn"t make any sense -- but then neither does the reality. I think it"s funny. Screw you.

It"s genius. It was sure to go to Hall of Shame -- which happens to a thread about as often as a true blue moon. So "A note from Millie" will be on the front page of the boards for a long, long time. Kudos!

It was like Fight Club or Harley-Davidson or both. You either got that you didn"t talk about it (or better yet like me and others just didn"t care) or you didn"t get it and got banned while those who got-it watched. But rep was/is a trust issue. Maybe it makes no sense to you -- it makes...

I"ll be the fifth dentist. I think Millie was okay moderating on some issues -- most recently the crazy initial Yahoo Live period that got a little wacky over in FoHSS. Of course when I got banned it wasn"t by Millie but by Ravvenn so I"ve got a slightly different perspective. Not that I...

There are many much worse things in this world. * * * I enjoyed the one or two debates we had in the movie house and really couldn"t give a shit about the online transgender thing.

A girl can dream...

Lol. False dichotomy. You"re confusing something I said was necessary with what I think is sufficient. For most guys, it is a necessary but not a sufficient condition to get girls that they dress reasonably well when going out, that they have decent cars (not in NYC of course), that they have...

Just to continue the love-in for one sec. Aych said it better than I did. I"m not nearly as far along the "path" as he is -- but I did pick up my pretty cute hairstylist the other day (8 face, 9 body). Something I would never have done successfully just a year ago. I"m decent looking but a...

First off: bias alert I actually run a small dating services as a side business in LA. So I"m not totally disinterested in this post. Still I find posts like this annoying - especially with shows like the pickup artist on TV I know its an older post but wanted to comment on it anyway --...

Mmm. Okay. I"ll believe that when I see it. Like Genjiro said (well sorta said) I don"t care if you guys shill here -- just be upfront about it and throw in some actual info with the shill (and yes concept art does count as actual info).

Oh I"ll check it out as well -- in open beta if there is one and if not after it goes live if the comments are favorable on this forum. But we still haven"t seen butkus on this game. Not gameplay. Not screenshots. Not even sample artwork.

Please. Let those who want to drink the koolaid, drink it in peace :-/

You can disagree all you want but you"ll continue to be wrong so I"m not going to argue this further. There"s a reason "every dev goes back to the pitiful excuse that PvP is balanced for group content" But I"ll tell you what: if you can balance rock-paper-scissors so that any one of the three...

You missed the point. You can"t balance 1v1 unless you give everyone the exact same abilities. You can try balancing with different abilities. You can try really, really, really, really hard but you will not succeed. Take dps v. healer. Either, at the end of the day, the dps will be able to...

Hmm. Let"s try this again, because this is important for any game --well any good multiplayer game. Rock-Paper-Scissors isn"t just a game you play with your fist it"s also a methodology for balancing a multiplayer game. Anyway, it is impossible to balance any game be it board, MMO or...

You do realize that "artificial" means not real? I was not actually describing any type of existing deck. It was an artificial example of the RPS elements of MTG. And please look up the definition of analogy before you use it again. And it"s not a fucking analogy you dipshit. I am not comparing...

Eh. I"m completely serious. My dream MTG MMO doesn"t have random boss abilities X,Y and Z that spark at random times. The bosses are running known decks (or at least decks that you"ll get to know as you encounter them and lose to them in the first instance) as such the raiding team will be...

Fuck that. The best way to implement an MMO combat system is with a card-based system. The "WoW-kiiller", the "next-gen" MMO will be based around CCG mechanics (combined with some Diku mechanics of course for flavor). Imagine we"re on vent: Where we are today: EQ/VG/WoW/Etc. Guy...

Well some of VG"s innovations were actually innovative. I don"t know who came up with Defensive Target/OT in VG but he or she didn"t get it from WoW and it is a vast improvement over single targeting. Using VG"s combat or class system as an example of bad design by fairly new developers probably...

Nobody would care one way or the other about Curt"s raid experience if he hadn"t done this. It"s not enough to "be that guy" -- you"ve got to "be that guy" and know where your weaknesses are -- not great at creative writing (with respect to world lore) or art have a partner/hire a team of...

Fixed.

I wish to unsubscribe from your newsletter and would like any money remaining on my subscription returned.

I"d suggest you hire a few more people with significant raiding experience over there at 38 to help out with the endgame. Worked out reasonably well for Blizzard.

Eh? Even WoW (which we can all agree was the best relased MMO ever) had significant changes to classes post release. From an early patch see some of the changes to Druids and Hunters. WoW:Patch Notes 1.02 - TenTonWiki Well I certainly don"t want another release like VG which needed at...

Pie is where it is at... Edit: Loci: That may be what happened. I don"t know, but I"ll assume you"re correct. However, if they couldn"t release direct IP info there are some other things they could have done (and throwing in a cake slide or two would have been fine with somethinig even...

(1) You still haven"t responded to my criticism of your presentation. It wasn"t substantive. It was self-congratulatory. It was a waste of my time to watch. And I was deservedly pissed off for having had my time wasted. (2) Taking shit? You think that you"ve taken a lot of shit? Your...

I"m suprised you even bothered to comment on my post but since you did... Curt you are a big boy. A very big boy. You are CEO of a company that is building an MMO. MMO players are notoriously hot-headed, drunk, irritable, introverted, spastic, occasionally high, and generally some of the...

By all accounts Blizzard is working on a new MMO and has been for sometime. Bioware is working on a new MMO. 38 Studios is working on a new MMO. Hero"s Journey is still in development. Stargate Worlds is coming out. Korea and China are pumping out MMOS (though honestly who cares for the most...

The only alternate payment scheme that I"ve read about that I"ve liked is the idea of premium content (I think discussed in one of SOE"s new offerings). Basically only paying for the content you play. Take WoW, as an example, Blizz could charge $9.99/m for the basic game (no Arenas/BG or Raid)...

This may be the only time I"ve ever agreed with you on anything. But yeah, I"d go for this.

As if a discussion on player housing is any less pointless? Holy fuck I was responding to 2bit"s snarky comment about a proposed mechanic. I can"t recall a good RNG in any MMO. WoW? I like how I would get purple drops within a week of each other and then nothing for months. VG? Don"t get me...

Windows RNG problems appear to stem from two sources. (1) it"s not being initialized correctly (i.e. a new seed isn"t being introduced when appropriate). (2) it generally sucks (I don"t pretend to be an authority on RNGs but this seems to be the consensus from people who are said authorities...

Well, hypothetically, Combat shouldn"t be any "slower" though the actual time to kill something (mob, another player) would be longer -- you"re making more, varied, complex decisions in less or equal time than in WoW/VG/EQ. Your decision tree keeps changing as you use and aquire new "cards" It"s...

It doesn"t have to define the genre. If I had $35,000,000 to build a game (and I don"t and never well) let me tell you what I"d do -- I"d use CCG mechanics instead of RPG mechanics. Let me use MTG as an example because we"ve all played it. In a hypothetical MTG MMO Instead of Tank/Heal/CC...

Last time I checked this was an MMORPG forum where such things are regularly debated. Given the recent history of MMO debacles and posting history of those reponsible for the aforementioned debacles it is completely reasonable to ask C.S. & co. for some information about the game since they...
