FFXIV being a relaunch doesn't count I guess. But it's probably the best of 2013.

You spent your whole thanksgiving holiday stalking me. The amount of energy you put into it is creepy. And you still do it. You have serious issues, and it's obvious from your reactions that you probably do the same thing to other people in your life. You are one strange dude, I hope you don't...

If you don't want to be called a creepy internet stalker then stop acting like one. Hah. You've been defending bad practice because it's Obama's bad practice from the start.

My nephew just told me that he and his friends are super excited for this game. I guess he has never played a mmo before but loves all the Elder Scrolls games. Mods them out and has played them all a few times. I didn't have the heart to tell him what you all think of it. Don't want to be the...

LoTRO is one of those games you can legitimately play without paying anything, but it takes a ton of work. You get coins for just doing content (finishing quests, achievements and exploring) which can be used to buy everything. Or you can just pay for the coins. A sub will get you coins every...

Oh look it's my creepy internet stalker... you really do need to go back on your meds.

Hard to be rustled when you are laughing at someone's folly.

Lol. I am still amazed at how far you will go to defend this idiocy. So much so that you now defend all bad government practice as good for all. If Obama declared that you didn't deserve to live and must be put out of your misery for the good of the rest of the country, you would bow down and...

That's good to know, but it would be hard to discern that from recent posts. For me, Oblivion is mildly interesting. I play it every now and then and push the storyline a bit farther. Kind of bland at times though. Not much of a single player RPG fan, but I actually like Gothic (the first...

I can't argue with their ability to sell the game, it is a phenomenal success. Good for them, and I really do wish them the best. Especially since it is a genre so many of us miss, love and are pining for. But... on the other side.... it's hard not to laugh at the scene of millions of suckers...

I'm not against modding, and actually think that every game (including mmos) should have that option. But if a gameneedsmods to be fun then I personally consider it to be a failure.

My feelings exactly.

Curious about the levels with different gravity effects. Has anyone tried them yet? Did you enjoy it? If that has been answered before and I missed it then oops, my bad. But that is the only thing remotely interesting to me in this game, so it is hard to weed through the rest of the info...

Probably play Skyim at some point, not going to bother with Morrowind. But will never finish Skyrim to be honest. The graphics look cool enough to play around for a few hours and not feel ripped off though. Have a hard time finishing single player RPG's. I get bored fighting the computer, too...

Only played Oblivion and not much of it. So not concerned about TESO's ties to the other games it draws it's lore from. To me TESO is just another fantasy mmo. And if it weren't for the 3 faction PvP system I wouldn't even be following this game. That's the real draw for me, the multifaction...

This is the game on top of my list. I'll buy whatever platform it is on.

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.
