Why do companies do that? There was another game I followed that hired a Community Relations Manager from the community. That's great and all, but the kid had no experience or knowledge on public relations. He was just a local fan boy. They manage to piss off almost their entire fan base before...

I think Teired pricing CAN be fair, and can work. But it has to be implimented correctly. You can't just hand out faster leveling, or uber gear to people because they have the disposable income for it. But lets look at WHY people are interested in this game. What services do we want on top of a...

I wouldn't mind a shot at the beta. Why me? I'm a computer programmer and have extensive practice at testing and debugging software. It's not just the ability to find bugs, but to be able to accurately recreate them and to be able to describe that process clearly. I've beta tested a few other...

I totally misread Chrisidon's post. I though he was demanding Beta info or a Tea Pot. Like what the hell is he going to do with a tea pot?! -Rick

DR? Not that I know of. The only other MMO's I've been in are DAoC and WOW. Before that, lots of table top RPGs and MUDs from back in the BBS days. -Rick

Ever see the movie "Once Were Warriors"? We all get old and tired, even our heros. That doesn't mean that they won't kick your ash though. ;) -Rick

"It was hard for me when I first joined the Hero's Council to get over the fact that someone wearing plate mail could have as little defense as someone wearing a skirt." Now, I'm a complete newb here, but when they were talking about changing the way items determine your appearance, I thought...

I always like 6-8 in a group. You pretty much need 4 people to be successful in most existing MMOs (tank, healer, crowd control, damage). Wow has 5 man teams, which doesn't give you a lot of leeway. If you can't pick up a healer, you only have 2 spots for damage and crowd control. Even if you do...

But would you really want to run into a elf wearing naught but his skivies with an armour rating as high as the tin can sitting next to him with full plate and a shield the size of a bar table? -Rick
