I gave em $15. Oh well, no biggie. Hasn't stopped me from giving games like SC a few bucks also. But I agree, it is a very high risk proposition to invest in a game prior to release.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1998968794 I am not sure who is the author of this spreadsheet. I can appreciate that as complex a game as SC, it is a herculean task to try and find out what is going on and track it. Roberts spoke recently about how difficult it was to keep...

There aren't many surprises in games for experienced players. I am not sure that is anyone's fault. In someone's first mmo, every little aspect of the game is a discovery. Loot, agro, crafting, travel options, etc. People have played so many games by now it is next to impossible to to wow...

Don't all players quit once they have maxed out their gear and had their fill of PvP and or PvE? Not sure that conclusion makes this guy's argument valid. But I do get that there has to be something to do. And, I believe, most people just want to kill shit, not run a mining conglomerate. The...

Seriously? No one tuned into that show for action sequences. It was the problems (and their resolutions) caused by contact with alien cultures and ideas that was memorable and garnered Star Trek it's fans, not any ground breaking 1960s tv choreography or camera shots. The conflicts were...

The enduring feature of Star Trek or even TNG wasn't action sequences. It was the interaction of a diverse crew with each other and an alien antagonist. I liked the 2 reboots, they were great popcorn fare. But they certainly didn't capture Roddenberry's vision. But all the movies have...

100 Million ! That's a lot of money. They need someone watching their pennies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25-CJRAQnDQ

Having both Alliance and Imperial sides play through one storyline and making companions virtually a skin on a common model is simplification and saves money. Game still has a good story and is fun to pick up once in awhile.

As insightful as that all sounds, the converse is equally true. What makes these games lousy is us. What makes them boring is us. What makes them not worth playing is us. The cynical, perverted, infantile, sociopathic, self serving, greedy, rude, ill tempered, attention starved, trolling...

If ya can get that many johns all done in a single afternoon and evening, I'd say so.

I forget already what pvp server I was on. I got as far as 40 something. Was turning into a gank and troll fest and was getting hard to get groups. The game is beautiful though, what a welcome change from the supposedly ominous drab grays and browns.

I participated on Sigil's boards anxiously awaiting this game, and I played some in beta. I never bought the game, and I forget exactly why. I think it was because the game didn't match my expectations which had been raised so highly by all the bravado and hype of it being the game that EQ was...

I don't confuse some low functioning individual experiencing adolescent angst over a $50 purchase with logic. If you lost a $450,000 IRA in Citibank in '08, I could understand. Some pro tips for you fuck stick: Rice and beans, water instead of coke if you splurge on the dollar menu at...

I enjoyed both SWTOR and TSW. Both provided great entertainment value for the cost of the box and a few bucks a month. Same goes for some of these other mmos (when I have time to play). The cost of a subscription is less than a movie ticket with a drink and popcorn, or a couple beers and a...

Search for Sugarman A true story. Great movie.

Blizzard is coming out with their Titan project 2014. The mmorph sites list hundreds of new games being released every year. It's hard to see how any one game can be as dominate as EQ and WoW were in their time. I remember rage quitting EQ more than once, only to come back because there weren't...
