But really thanks for warning us about how IGE is bad for gamers, what would we do without the truly hardcore L2 MMO-bootcamp vets battling to keep one of the grindiest shittiest games ever made alive by continuing to pay for it.  All to prepare for the 41st MOOllenium, in the grim darkness of the future there is only war and only the hardcore will prevail at collecting teh shiney!@!!

I wouldn't play Lineage 2 if it made my dick bigger.

• Shiznitz wins.
• Should I frontpage this?

That just about covers it.

[Big Gulp]

• Should I frontpage this?

Hell yes!  If only to warn all of us who were unaware that we should be in training!  And here I was floating from game to game like some rogue, roustabout, bounder, or cad and merely enjoying myself.  Had I known that what I needed was to buckle down, ignore the grind, and breath long and hard the Korean crazy I would have done so.

This thread can save a great many wasted hours, and the five points should be forever enshrined in the sacred walls of the site.

4.  The grammar sucked indeed, it wasn't to be directly copied for other sites to use.  It's to be re-written with some editorial skills and presented to the public accordingly.

If it was to be rewritten then why the fuck did you post it?

[Diatress]

Hey I'm just the messenger, wanna throw me off a roof go right ahead.  Wanna help?  Quit fucking ebaying in MMOs.

Thank you <3

Is it wrong to wonder where these people come from? They just come out of the woodwork, fingers in their ears, going LALALALALLALA and missing the point entirely. And I don't mean any specific point - I mean any point at all. They live in their tiny vacuum and they think we should feel lucky - NAY - privelaged to be included in their little dreamland if even for a moment.

Maybe they're lucky, I sorta wish I could game like that.

But then I'd be retarded.

Lose, Lose I suppose.

Because the more people aware of the issues that are here and upcoming, the better prepared the mmo communities will be to help prevent their game from being ruined.  That's my point.

If you don't like the article, then just delete it and trash it.  No one's forcing you into accepting our views and ideas.  Read it, flame it, fuck it, whatever ^^ V

I'm going to guess you didn't lurk-and-look for long on these forums.

This thread is very entertaining.  Needs more Feet, though.

[Flood]

A few things.

First, as mentioned above, if you want to be taken seriously by the journalism community, be it paper, blog or television - have someone proof read your items for spelling, grammar, punctuation and reading level.  I know you have been busy weilding your digital firebrand against Mammon, but if you look around you can find free writing correction programs.

Second, thank you.  Because by posting here you imply that we at the F13 community have some insight, dare I say sway, over the uber-corps and their minions that control and create MMO's.  Nice attempt to come here and stir the pot to draw attention to your cause. 

Third, Lineage 2?  Was Walmart sold out of everything else when you went to spend all your lawn mowin' profits?



P.S. - Fuck you.

[Broughden]

agreed.

The reason you are getting flamed is that-

a) F13 is predominately a gaming site. Did you think the issues involving RMT and IGE werent known to this community?

b) You are, according to your post, sending this out to professional journalistic websites and news agencies yet the entire thing comes across as if written by a stoned monkey due to its atrocious spelling and grammar.

c) You are playing Lineage 2.

Oh.. I stirred up something?  Interesting.  Let's see if it can be positive in any way down the line when I see you guys in some mmo we all jump into.

More often than not I suspect it's some kid who managed to become a "big name" on some board for their respective game.  Since they are soo big and important in their retard community, it leads them to think that means EVERYONE should listen to them.   They are the "Heavy Hitters" the "Hardcore" the "Elite,"  after all.  So a quick google of their favorite game and 'news' or 'discussion' as an added keyword nets them a few sites to troll, including this one.  

Oh, that was rhetorical, wasn't it.

Well, then in the spirit of the thread, I wonder how much I could get for my collector's edition account with a few 'high-demand' 60s. Hmm. /ponder.

[Yegolev]

The reason she is being flamed is that the F13 community only has one or two knobtards and has a very high average intelligence, in a complete and stark contrast of most every other MOG community.

lol =)  That's fine.

[schild]

No, it's not fine. See, that's your fucking problem. It's not fine AT ALL. You come in here all high and mighty because you think you've written this amazing piece of gaming journalism when you really haven't. On top of that, you play Lineage 2. It deflates any sort of possible argument or interesting insight you might have had because it pins you as a gamer who's willing to put up with the worst of shit and pay for it no less. People like you give gamers a bad name.

Go the fuck away.

Heh, sorry buddy =)  I came here posting this because i thought f13 was a well known gaming community for one.  Posting here, I thought to myself, hey I've sent out enough letters to other gaming companies and sites etc..  Why not shoot it here to.  Being bashed, flamed, thrown, fucked, etc etc is all fine to me I'm used to it.   Remember I'm from Lineage 2 ^^  So yea as long as one or two people understand where we're coming from.  Then i could care less about what you people think of me.  I came here to post out of my own time and free will.  I don't see many other's trying to "stir" up what the VCOM industry is doing.  If I'm the one to post about it and be flamed to hell and back, then so be it =)

Sorry i didn't bother to read your entire post.  Now that I my coffee.. Let's see..

Hah.  Touche smashing good buddy.

It's people like you, who do nothing, say nothing, take it in the ass, and keep moving.  That gives gamers a bad name.  ^_-

[Cheddar]

There are numerous examples of discourse on this board about RMT.  Many of them include extremely intellegant people, some with post graduate degrees and various credentials. 

Meta tip- the ones with red names ARE ALREADY in the industry.  We do have a voice, we do have discourse, and we go round and round about it constantly.  And uhhh, keke la.

What if their name's in blue? ^^  

I'm sure people have traveled near and far in discussions on this topic.  What I do best is cause attention to it.  Whether by pissing off, or by being humble.  Here it's unclear as to which method I chose. Probably the, "quit being gay/ass/fucking idiot/my-pussy-hurts" approach.  But meh.. I spoke, people responded, people read it and more will hopefully.  Some will care, some will fuck it, but whatever happens 3-5 years from now.  I did my part in one shape or form, to bring this issue to the public.  You guys think you can do better, by all means light em up.

We've already done better and continue doing better by simply existing. The problem is, you didn't see that because you didn't do any research before peddling your tired shit (Oddly, I think this is the first time I've gotten to say that twice in a single month).

Sorry for not doing more research into your beloved forum, but I'm done now =)

[Cheddar]

Uhhh, I thought I, along with a few others (who did not sputter obsceneties) pointed out- awww fuck it.  Schild, is this dreck a preview of things to come as f13 gets bigger and better?  I mean, I DO live life a quarter mile at a time, but this is too much.

Hi, I'm going to rip you a new asshole because ranting = fun!

The most influential ideas that moved technology into what it is today started from:  Computers -- Microsoft -- Internet -- Google -- MMO's (Massive Multiplayer Online Games).  MMO's are the next big thing

Aaand I stopped right there.

MMOs are not the future.

The Semantic Web is the future. AJAX is the future. URIs are the future, and you don't even know what that acronym stands for, do you? Read a book! Or go read Wikipedia, which is also the future. The future _that exists today_.

MMOs are a tiny, fractional drop in a tiny, fractional bucket called "online games". They're not even the major kind of online games! There are at least as many middle-aged women playing Bridge online as there are sad, pathetic, masochistic gamers playing Lineage II. AND YOU CAN'T PLONK DOWN $5 AND DRAW THE ACE OF SPADES IN ONLINE BRIDGE.

In conclusion, given the actual destiny of the Internet your world is tiny and remote and your complaints trivial and insignificant. You want to write about comment-hoarding product-spamming link-impression-abusing blogbots, then you might have something.

You are ruining things by pointing out that the ARPA net predates Microsoft.  Or even MicroSoft.  Let's keep away from the facts, people!
