I think I just found a poster that is more illogical and his tendency to the irrelevant is bigger than our dream team of aoc haters. He even pulls "mighty John" which is something I haven't seen our haters do.
a.) your post is irrelevant
b.) you speak of some secret motives based on the statement "funcom supports us, we will support funcom" - this can plainly be a statement "funcom support their players, so they deserve the respect and support" ... you have no case (integrity LOL)
The review was in general received good and is said to be fair and real. If the site it is posted on is anti mmorpg.com WELL GUESS WHAT - it doesn't matter.
Anyway I would like to congratulate the idiot of the month ... he uses the finaticd tactic - colored posts and tendency towards history but manages to add that special something that clearly wins him the title
Now mods please delete these posts since the person who wrote them is clearly delusional. "who is afraid of big bad magical john?" ...
If the site leaders are anti-mmorpg.com, then why are they posting here? That's what I mean by they have no integrity. Afraid to stand behind their own words.
By the way, I'm not an AoC "hater". I play and enjoy the game. That as nothing to do with anything I've brought up in this thread.
And calling me an idiot from behind a keyboard is supposed to hurt me somehow? Talk about irrelevant. Grow up, dudette.
-Letting Derek Smart work on your game is like letting Osama bin Laden work in the White House. Something will burn.- -And on the 8th day, man created God.-
a.) I never said you are a hater, you just use the methods that are widely known to this section for being used by Hater dream team
b.) Due to "integrity" they are not to use the biggest mmorpg site there is? Briliant what can I say? How are they to get readers if not by this site? And is it wise as a "journalist" of some sort to pass on the widest MMO games imput available?
c.) I never use a term idiot to insult a person, I just use it as a label. Being dumb is not bad nor a crime.
And you used the "behind the keyboard" wrong. Can you explain us the difference in "level of being hurt" if you read that you are dumb or that you hear it? The "behind the keyboard" is used to hint that a person might not have the courage to say it in real live due to being embarassed or afraid.
(and btw how is my claim that you are not able to provide a logical argument irrelevant to the discussion - which always is about logical arguments)

Hey welcome back it has been nearly a year!
Doesn't matter if someone is anti-mmorpg.com per reviews or under wrong impressions on how the reviews are done. Most are the reviewers opinion just like this one. That is like saying people who do not play and have intention of playing can't comment right, on the other side of the coin. Outside of reviews this corner of the site is still a community and any news even including a personal review or link to other site is totally fine within keeping in the rules of the site.
If people want to disagree with the score fine but being "anti-mmorpg.com" as you put it doesn't change anything really.
Well I read the review, couple of points I felt obliged to comment on is the graphic score for gear. Sure there are some good points made, but I still think they look good whether the gear it's self might not look as appealing. So really there should be "artistic style" and that is down to personal preferance.
Second point is the music score. This is really the game music and miscellaneous effects. The score for me is a straight out 10/10. The comment the reviewer makes about spell effects; each spell effect is dynamic, in the options you can even set the number of simultaneous sounds all in surround sound, I know of no other mmorpg that lets you do this, as a tip people should crank it up and spells and effects always have a little difference. You can see it demostrated here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ogwg6svqYQ&hd=1 5.1 surround in game, love it!
Totally agree with beefing up the PVP content, game really needs a heavy update in this area.
I think the review is pretty fair throughout and obvious the scores are not to be added and divded for average overall which is just silly.
My post was erased and I really have no clue why - and yes I am questioning the MOD that erased it because I said nothing offensive or derogatory - I just stated that it was obvious the reviewer of the game was slandering MMORPG.com. Oh and be my guest and erase this one as well and I'll gladly contact John and see if we can't get your arse kicked from modding these forums so poorly.
I saw nothing in the OP review about MMORPG. The OP review seems pretty logical and thought out. What was the issue you had with the review?
And if they hadn't erased the posts containing that info, you'd know.
Actually, you should stop trolling and let it die, because it only makes you look like an arse with your conspiracy theories. I never once posted in this thread anything negative at all in regards to mmorpg.com, sir fanboi. So they wouldn't know, would they? But you sure want to put fuel on the fire with what is basically a bold faced lie.
No, you didn't post anything negative in this thread. You just got called out for what you've posted on other sites regarding this one. And I never said you said it in this thread, I said if he wanted to know the details of what you did do, it was in the posts that were deleted.
But since you want to bring it up Sylassa, I'll put the thread back here so he can see:
If mmorpg.com wants to allow you to advertise your site here after :

"Some people have asked about the site. I wanted to point out what we're about.
We will offer a place where you can get the same news as some of the "other places" but we are players, not business men in suits running a site. Of course we want to make money and continue, but we aren't in it for the money. A good example is MMORPG.com
MMORPG has slanted reviews based on support, advertising dollars, and amusement park MMOs. They have a very biased view, and if you think they give a damn about you, you are crazy. In fact, after we upgraded our site and I posted on the Darkfall forums, the douchebags at MMORPG apparently felt threatened, as they banned my account. For what? Their reason/excuse? Because I had two accounts there. They are afaid of us coming within 10 feet of them because we have integrity, and they give games like Age of Conan a 7.
We aren't AoC fanbois, but we are honest, and this is something you will see once our reviews start cropping up. Funcom supports us, and we support Funcom. Why? Because we like the game and they deserve the support after the time and money they've put into it. Right now, we're focused on making sure the site is working and implementing some forums, but I urge ANYONE to take a hard look at sites like MMORPG.com where it's all about the buck and about them. They care nothing about their readers except that they have dollar signs over their heads.
We will do EVERYTHING we can to provide the same quality (once the change is done) and news that they provide, but without bias. The difference is that we provide commentary from a guild leader's standpoint and answer questions in regards to guilds. And we are brutal when it comes to the truth.
then they have that right. In fact, you seem to be the one with "conspiracy theories" since you believe they banned you because they're afraid of you. lol
By the way, judging from the responses in this thread, you look like the "arse", not me.
And for Mr. Moderator, this is on the damn topic, as the lack of integrity shown by chaosngn/Sylassa reflects directly on the integrity of the review he is promoting. "Funcom supports us and we support them" is more than enough to question the motives behind the review.
This gets erased, I will take it to John as well.
Edit: In fact, just in case, I've already sent John a PM.
The only question I have is who is Tauntress, since you have all the answers. Cause I sure don't know.

Not to change the topic or anything but if you take out the tauntress name and put yours there you posted the same thing on the Darkfall Forums. Just google "We will offer a place where you can get the same news as some of the "other places" but we are players, not business men in suits running a site" - I can appreciate different viewpoints on reviews and will leave it at that.
All in all i liked the review, though i did have a feeling the rating was jumping around a bit much. For example the 3/10 gearscore, that doesnt really leave a lot of room downwards. Does it mean lack of variety, or lack of variety and crappy looking gear?
What i would really love to see are multiple reviews of a game by different people. For example if i know AOC, and agree with alicias review on it, im much more interested in her reviews about other games aswell, even if there already is a review.
