Seeing as how you list yourself as a communist on your ICQ profile I can believe both your story about stealing the game and that you have deluded yourself into thinking society is to blame for your actions.

Italians seem poorly represented on f13.

Looks like you are a believer.
Good for you. :)
Oh, don't forget to check my icq profile again when you'll be accepted in the beta of the most secret and coveted mmo around, called Irony Online.

I represent myself only, never mentioned Italy.
What do you represent, sir?

Return of the double poster

Could you post in the SWG thread?  It's almost at 100 pages and the need a little push to get them over the top.

Well, you collide with buildings and such. You can run into them to knock them down. You can straight up run over enemies to kill them. You can't collide with friendly units and such. But I suppose that makes sense. Griefing would be SO easy if you could.

I gotta play it more though.

Try running over small enemies that are higher level than you. From what I've read it's like hitting a brick wall which is sorta silly.

It's not bad. It's probably good for 20-30 hours of entertainment. I just can't stomach the leveling.

The sales on Amazon still look crappy. It's still beating out Oblivion on Gamestop (@ #2 and #3). I wonder if you can buy your way into the best seller list on Gamestop?

Err, I was actually mostly positive, I just said it wasn't quite where it would need to be for me to pick it up after beta having already experienced it.

I also said I liked it more than DDO.

From the Apocalypse of Posterius chapter 1:

And the fanboys did look upon the game in sadness. The great seven tongued beast the NetDevil had wrought great disappointment unto the wider world as a throng of humanity chanted the holy syllable MEH loudly and in unison. One amongst the fanboys cryed up o the beast, "This is a word of mouth MMORPG so people will start flooding in as people recommend it to their friends." And Jesus wept.

Server pops are apparently way, way, way low. WAY low.

I guess I pre-ordered because the game arrived this weekend (from EBGames.) The sane part of me says return it, but I am going to let it ripen a bit before I decide either way. BTW, Planetside was fun this weekend.

I have never played WoW.

I don't know. EQ2 had the best turnaround in my opinion. Looking back, comparing the launch game to now, I don't know how I ever put up with the original at all. The new "version" is much much better.

Doesn't AO win that award just by existing this far down the road from the absolute worst launch in the history of launches?

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Sorry to re-derail, but what happened on PS that made it fun this weekend? Or rather, more fun than usual?

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Nothing in particular. I just hadn't played in close to a year. They have a new feature (to me) where squads that are looking for members can be viewed in list form by players. Easy to find a squad that way. I just really enjoyed bombing the crap out of the VS from my Liberator for a few hours.

I have never played WoW.

Well, after that 20h of entertaiment you will realise that new cool area is just a copy of what you already saw. Just a different shad3 of sand and little scaled up monsters.

You can lock on with your turret but you still have to stay in range,this also works for your specials.But you'll have to line up your front and rear guns as well as stay in range for them to have an effect.

No, though it's probably close. Horizons may be the worst. Or Asheron's Call 2.

And both of them lasted more than twice EnB.
I am not disagreeing here, just stating that EnB could be, at least, the MMORPG with the shortest lifespan ever.

Worst major MMOG? I wouldn't consider Horizons a major MMOG. Everything about it was no name.

THE worst major MMOG? EQ. It fucked us all. Forever.
