    Seamless world basically means no "hard zone line", you still can have soft zone line a la wow or any other games. L2 was a trully seamless world ( at least in comparison to WoW ) yet you could know exactly when you crossed a zone boundary.

    I am always surprised to see american drinking large cup of coffee all day long.... Here in europe, we generally just drink a couple of espresso a day. I generally only drink 3 cups a day max, normally 2. French press coffee is interesting but it lacks the intense richness of an espresso. I...

    Seems that plenty of people forgot the "we designed wow to be like EQ but done right" from vanilla wow era... Basically wow was designed to follow what people were asking : less downtime, dungeon in which they could kill what ever they wanted, more quests etc.

    Shit, barely a day later, a train derailed when it was passing a train station nearby Paris...at least 10 dead..(and 3 years ago, I would have seen it derailing in live...always weird when this kind of occurrence happens. )

    93% chance Eomer is dead

    I am not sure to which points rails are secured, but in a lot crashes, it's mainly due to companies not wanting to pay extra for the security ( best recent case, the crash in china for ex a couple of year ago).

    On leash mobs, from Kunark+ mobs would stop running after a while but if you'd come back within certain distance, they will rush back to you ( and proxy aggro anything along the way ), especially for roamers.

    chrome or firefox?

    I feel that firefox is more resource intensive. I use both of them depending of what I am doing. In addition, sharepoint works better with firefox than chrome. At the end of the day, 70% of the time, I am using Chrome.

    It's weird, because when it was still a foh managed and moderated board, there was a strongly enforced rule that was : no dick, no penetration. At one point, there had been a let go with all the Emma Watson thing but it was otherwise pretty clean.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    What was the price of games 20 years ago? $60USD ( I don't remember for games before the nes era ), The current business model is not sustainable, $10m budgets are still ok but already pushing, I guess it's one reason why the indy model sees such growth.

    Well I was curious to see the budget evolution from the 80's or 90's, and found an interesting article :http://www.notenoughshaders.com/2012...all-of-gaming/, at $60 , these budgets aren't compatible with viable business models.
