The old boxes are almost certainly covered in language about subscription costs, etc.

Those old boxes have been out for a year and are cheap as chips. They want to relaunch the game exactly like ESO did.
Like ESO, the new B2P boxes will be priced at $50.

So they can release new boxes that are different from the old ones. Or, y'know, just to make some more money off of their dying game in it's last gasps?

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Wildstar has already gone "don't care to play" so it doesn't really matter.

I have seen too much of this stuff and I still don't find that it adds up. Everything he says is likely to happen, but I could make that shit up too. If he actually works for carbine, he won't work there for long. |

If he actually works for carbine, he won't work there for long. He posted pictures of his tax forms showing he works for Carbine. Of course he might be a former employee with an axe to grind and posted the pics to give him credibility but I doubt it. Everything he's saying makes sense and things are starting to fall into place that could confirm his statements, esp. when you factor in the whole Steam thing. |

Problem is that you can't see his account history and that usually indicates its BS |

I don't know what that means either so I looked it up. It's when you ban someone from a website but they don't know they're banned so they still participate and see their own posts but no one else can see them. For some reason this made me laugh out loud. Geez. You could drive someone right over the edge doing shit like that!

Shadowbanning would have been an awesome way of dealing with some of the folks who got banned. I can imagine Bruce and Geldon forever wondering why nobody would respond, yet tying away forever anyway.

Weird, I could have sworn there were a bunch of posts in this thread after 11AM, and now they're gone! Database rollback maybe?

It was probably off too much from when the box was setup and was never able to sync.

They have this free trial so I went ahead and made a character. This game is so fucking cute that they should have made it fun, too. The paths are a nice idea but they're boring. Everyone seems to be a scientist for some group buff. In the beta I tried explorer and it was fun at first then it kind of got old. Lots of jumping, no good puzzles or anything. I wish they'd fix it because I adore the gothy looking race. And stalker stealth is seriously stealthy!

Graphically, the game was fantastic. My biggest problem with the game is that it was more fun to build my home than it was to interact with the rest of the game.

I want to like this game so much, but it's like wax fruit; looks great but tastes terrible.

Didn't they end up banning those erasers (being British I'd say rubbers but I know from experience the kind of mirth and confusion that elicits from Americans) that looked & smelled like fruit because kids kept eating them?

Sounds familiar.
Also thanks for giving me flashbacks to my confusion when reading "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe."

Took me a while to work out exactly which bit of common language was separating us there. Torch/flashlight.  |

This is the most generous F2P system I've ever seen. It looks more like a B2P system. And no "silver" play level, either, which si highly unusual-- usually F2P games have a separate level for players who have purchased something, anything, in the store. Good stuff.

I tried to read their FAQ, then realized I just don't give a shit. I was that bored by the gameplay in late beta.
