Title: Ok fuck it - I'm a fanboi
Post by: squirrel on November 06, 2007, 11:49:33 PM
Just subbed for 6 mos. The funny thing is I have 0 tolerance for shitty games or poor execution and the EADM download, the missing features and the weird UI all spelled FAIL for me. But I fucking love this game. I can't stick to a character because I keep wanting to try new shit out even <L10. I subbed in a large part for the extra slots.

The loot keeps me awake at night. Seriously. I will never look at the colours yellow and orange the same.

D2 didn't have this effect on me.

The game has huge issues - guild management/membership is crap, chat is crap, the UI is silly, the difficulty levels need tweaking, the memory leak is atrocious...

...but the LOOT/DING LOOT/DING LOOT/DING. It haunts me.

That is all.

ps. Gaurdians are op. But I feel like a god.

Couldn't stomach the lifetime, eh?

They won't let me. :(

For some reason 6 mos. was as far as their billing would go. Oh yeah, billing system is crap.

I bet if you add a preorder code, you can buy the lifetime and I bet you can get a refund for 6 months. I'll see if my local Gamestops have any extra preorder boxes. Because I love my fellow fanbois. Or Hellbois. I think that's more reasonable.

Bwahahaha. I will mod my rare sub to a unique one! Make it happen!

Well, if you can. That would be, er, cool.

It may take you a year to get that refund, but bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa who cares.

Money is a frivolous thing in the face of a shower of blue, orange and yellow items that (?) beckon me to discover their hidden nature.

I've killed Shulgoth 73 times on 2 characters...I just can't stop.

Yeah I know. I will get a USB mic tomorrow, my current machine needs a powered mic, it only has Line In optical.

Hmm, there is a lifelong subscription option? They could have gotten more of my money if they happened to give that option to normal buyers as well.

How much does the lifetime sub cost?


Title: Re: Ok fuck it - I'm a fanboi
Post by: Trippy on November 07, 2007, 01:00:15 AM
US$150. Not sure what the Euro cost is.

LOL. Guy at work sent it to me when I told him I was playing this - he has the whole issue on disk. I never even knew it existed. I'm sheltered.

E150 I'm guessing, the normal sub is E10  :cry:

I'll grab as many preorder codes as I can, assuming there are any.

Oh and apparently the crossover market between porn and gaming is large. Playboy ran an issue of the girls of games - Hellgate made the cut (http://www.razorfield.com/imagestopost/hellgate_avalon_huge.jpg). (NSFW) All I can say is looking at her nips just confirms that armour is not comfortable.

Wait, Playboy did another awful gameporn issue? I remember like half the companies volunteering characters backed out at the last moment and like two resubmitted nudity free images last time.

I sent you (squirrel) a PM with 2 pre-order codes. I don't think I used both of them so one should work. Give it a shot.

Lifetime is the  :inluv:

Wish more games had that feature.
