I agree 100%
However, they shouldn't hold a public game forum and then restrict you from giving an honest review of a game or the company that produces the title and then expect you the customer of there site to not be upset that there policy on reviewing games is flawed. This site exists because customers visit for the sites reviews, articles and forums. There is no other reason. If you start selling your reviews, moderating the forums and watering down your staffs articles you have a very poor gaming site. That is what is happening today and I dont have to like it as a customer of there site. They get paid by my clicks.
Yes, but as far as I'm aware, posting a review of the game wasn't what got you a warning, nor was it for the OP.

This isn't a public forum. That would imply that it is funded by the government, either local, state, or federal. Example is a public park verses a privately funded country club.
That being stated, I think that MMORPG.com has given some of the best reviews of games that I've seen in a site that has advertising for game developers as a source of revenue. If MMORPG.com becomes a development sycophant, then hopefully the will lose out on advertisement as people learn to avoid that site (like I avoid Stratics whenever possible).
Public just means for the general publics use. it doesn't imply ownership. As I see it these are public places patroled by mmorpg staff. As with most public places they aren't actually owned by the government. The road is public, it can be owned by a corporate entity.

Anonymous Proxy Servers
Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP address and thereby prevent unauthorized access to your computer through the Internet. They do not provide anyone with your IP address and effectively hide any information about you and your reading interests. Besides that, they don’t even let anyone know that you are surfing through a proxy server. Anonymous proxy servers can be used for all kinds of Web-services, such as Web-Mail (MSN Hot Mail, Yahoo mail), web-chat rooms, FTP archives, etc. ProxySite.com - a place where the huge list of public proxies is compiled. In a database you always can find the most modern lists, the Proxy are checked every minute, and the list is updated daily from various sources. The system uses the latest algorithm for set and sortings of servers by proxy, servers for anonymous access are checked. Results of Search always can be kept in file Excel.

Hiding your own IP is irrelevant, the proxy can be blocked. Then you hop to another public proxy and get access for a few til that one is blocked and so on. If you want to jump from proxy to proxy because you are that derranged and can't accept a ban more power to ya.
It's the internet, nothing is absolute other then that very fact.
And I think the staff is smart enough here to tell who it is regardless of the name they log in as.

1 reason is its a turn based(statagy game) and the NGE is a FPS so is not even in same catagory
BUT
Illl say that the uncombat related game by far exceeds in Pre-cu, Crafting was a mini in a mini game
be the best-highest yeilding- best value- uberest- make most money-
Pretty much whatever economical aspects across all classes PWN NGEs Nuke and Loot but in the NGEs favor it wasnt meant to be the CU had a meltdown tring to mesh with expansions so SOE threw a basically blank calculating client in and make up NGE.
They had to start completely over (why everythiing started so generic and alike) eventually theyll get stuff inputted in doubtful that nything complicated like multi stat'ed resources.
SOE hates math like SWG players hated reading, Im doubtful current crew will put to much effort in just simple precharted numbers. Itll never be like pre-cu where a person would be Uber be deemed a badass itll be a level jedi or bh spy ect
Itll never be like Pre-CU and people are like
OH NO its Erow and His Crafted DE-10 "Erows Vengence" its 777 maxed
LOL ...I had a guild war once and wiped out 4 of their guys in Theed they were pissed keep healing and buffing and I keep killing em. I had my DE-10 and all uber stims armor ect the best, Had to as a Pistoleer but keep in mind too 1 1/2 years to make the gun and get uberized, took 6 months before I felt ready to even attempt pvp. Tis was my first mmo so was clueless what grinding was so took 2 months to master , Took 2 years to max my skill attachments (but I looted all of my own stuff ) been alot faster buying
So NGE rules for a FPS built on a stratagy platform with no collision or concep on day itll be a FPS
SWG rules as a mmo strat game if it was worked on instead of making expansions would be a mindblowing experience

In fact, the game still uses one, Hence why its a Fake FPS like game play.
The thing is, in the original system, you could load up action in order you wished to execute them, but it gave you time to cancel or adjust your tactics dependant on the circumstances of the battle at hand.
In the NGE, you have no such actions, time, or options.

No, the game was never turn based. A queue is a queue, it just means you don't have to wait to hit the button for what you want to do.
Turn based means he takes a turn, then the computer takes a turn.
I don't see your point on the queue, you can still chose each action, it's just fluid now instead of trying to plan out attacks or sit and spam mind attack until the queue is full and then watch the combat. I personally think the new combat sucks, but your point doesn't make me think more of the old system versus the new.
No tactics in the NGE? Sorry I completely disagree with that. There are still specials so there has to be tactics. If it was just both people stand still in a completely open area with no special attacks, equal weapons and armor and shoot exactly at the same time. That would be a lack of tactics.

In PvP there are definitely tactics in the NGE. I did notice in a lot of PvE situations you would end up going toe to toe like heavyweight boxers because the MOB was not running and you KNEW you had level superiority and were going to win. I hated that. I think your statement above is very correct regarding enemies that actually move like other players. It just doesn't happen like that.
I still prefer all the different protection types and damage types to consider in the pre-CU. It's a shame that did not carry over.

Total shame, a shame they didn't just work with what they had. Or continued with the CU.
I will admit though I always though elemental damage in SWG was silly as hell. Not from a tactical point of view but from a Star Wars point of view. I joke about "elemental lightsabers" and weapons to this day with non-player friends.

Sorry man. Ill just say your wrong and leave it as that. Agree to disagree.
Your tripping over the misuse of terms and using your own very narrow definition of them in order to discredit others comments.
There are NO tactics in the NGE, everyone is the same. The combat is 1 (one) action at a time, specials are shallow + or - , nothing more.
The queue was much better in planning and engaging in combat.
Did you even play PRE-CU? Or is the DKIU style the only type of combat you have played with?
Not trying to flame here, but your responses lead me to believe you never played PRE-CU, and eq combat clones are all you have seen. Anyone who played PRE-CU, and knows the skills and combat system available at the time would not be making statements as you are now.
Also, mind shot.... The lamest skill ever... If that’s the best downside you can come up with then. wow, just wow.
All they had to do was replace that skill, or give people a way to heal mind... OR fix the gaping whole in helmets that allowed the player to be shot directly in the eye ignoring armor...
Seems like that would have been better than removing the mind bar, and everything attached to it.
ok, i guess i wont just leave it as that lol.
whatever.

See SOE. This is ergonomic design at its best! Instead of just releasing a product with no consideration to the physical difficulties of using it (like the garish icons introduced with the CU that made it impossible for color blind people to play), Shae has covered all bases.

Well, other than Pre-CU, all reviews by mmorpg.com have been Negitave... So... Um...
Yeah...

If you want to think so Haxx, more power to ya.
Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP address and thereby prevent unauthorized access to your computer through the Internet. They do not provide anyone with your IP address and effectively hide any information about you and your reading interests. Besides that, they don’t even let anyone know that you are surfing through a proxy server. Anonymous proxy servers can be used for all kinds of Web-services, such as Web-Mail (MSN Hot Mail, Yahoo mail), web-chat rooms, FTP archives, etc. ProxySite.com - a place where the huge list of public proxies is compiled. In a database you always can find the most modern lists, the Proxy are checked every minute, and the list is updated daily from various sources. The system uses the latest algorithm for set and sortings of servers by proxy, servers for anonymous access are checked. Results of Search always can be kept in file Excel.
I do think so.
Hiding your own IP is irrelevant, the proxy can be blocked. Then you hop to another public proxy and get access for a few til that one is blocked and so on. If you want to jump from proxy to proxy because you are that derranged and can't accept a ban more power to ya.
It's the internet, nothing is absolute other then that very fact.
And I think the staff is smart enough here to tell who it is regardless of the name they log in as.

Well Pre-CU is by far better by 100%
1 reason is its a turn based(statagy game) and the NGE is a FPS so is not even in same catagory
BUT
Illl say that the uncombat related game by far exceeds in Pre-cu, Crafting was a mini in a mini game
be the best-highest yeilding- best value- uberest- make most money-
Pretty much whatever economical aspects across all classes PWN NGEs Nuke and Loot but in the NGEs favor it wasnt meant to be the CU had a meltdown tring to mesh with expansions so SOE threw a basically blank calculating client in and make up NGE.
They had to start completely over (why everythiing started so generic and alike) eventually theyll get stuff inputted in doubtful that nything complicated like multi stat'ed resources.
SOE hates math like SWG players hated reading, Im doubtful current crew will put to much effort in just simple precharted numbers. Itll never be like pre-cu where a person would be Uber be deemed a badass itll be a level jedi or bh spy ect
Itll never be like Pre-CU and people are like
OH NO its Erow and His Crafted DE-10 "Erows Vengence" its 777 maxed
LOL ...I had a guild war once and wiped out 4 of their guys in Theed they were pissed keep healing and buffing and I keep killing em. I had my DE-10 and all uber stims armor ect the best, Had to as a Pistoleer but keep in mind too 1 1/2 years to make the gun and get uberized, took 6 months before I felt ready to even attempt pvp. Tis was my first mmo so was clueless what grinding was so took 2 months to master , Took 2 years to max my skill attachments (but I looted all of my own stuff ) been alot faster buying
So NGE rules for a FPS built on a stratagy platform with no collision or concep on day itll be a FPS
SWG rules as a mmo strat game if it was worked on instead of making expansions would be a mindblowing experience
SWG has never been a turn based game.

He
is referring the queue system, based of speed and other factors, yes, it was
basically a turn based system, with the turns being dynamic because it was
reliant on a number of outside factors.
In fact, the game still uses one, Hence why its a Fake FPS
like game play.
The thing is, in the original system, you could load up action
in order you wished to execute them, but it gave you time to cancel or adjust
your tactics dependant on the circumstances of the battle at hand.
In the NGE, you have no such actions, time, or options.

No, the game was never turn based. A queue is a queue, it just means you don't have to wait to hit the button for what you want to do.
Turn based means he takes a turn, then the computer takes a turn.
I don't see your point on the queue, you can still chose each action, it's just fluid now instead of trying to plan out attacks or sit and spam mind attack until the queue is full and then watch the combat. I personally think the new combat sucks, but your point doesn't make me think more of the old system versus the new.
No tactics in the NGE? Sorry I completely disagree with that. There are still specials so there has to be tactics. If it was just both people stand still in a completely open area with no special attacks, equal weapons and armor and shoot exactly at the same time. That would be a lack of tactics.

Nancy Is a LA person who with Julio are the Happy face folks for SWG . Being one who has had his fair share of warinings around here I would have to agree with the Mods if you can not make your point without Race remarks and pronfanity then perhaps you should have reel that one back in ( I have done that here recently -alot ,
you best to,)

In PvP there are definitely tactics in the NGE. I did notice in a lot of PvE situations you would end up going toe to toe like heavyweight boxers because the MOB was not running and you KNEW you had level superiority and were going to win. I hated that. I think your statement above is very correct regarding enemies that actually move like other players. It just doesn't happen like that.
I still prefer all the different protection types and damage types to consider in the pre-CU. It's a shame that did not carry over.
I realize I said I quit. I never said it was forever

Important Information regarding Posting and You
Total shame, a shame they didn't just work with what they had. Or continued with the CU.
I will admit though I always though elemental damage in SWG was silly as hell. Not from a tactical point of view but from a Star Wars point of view. I joke about "elemental lightsabers" and weapons to this day with non-player friends.

Sorry
man. Ill
just say your wrong and leave it as that. Agree to disagree.
Your tripping over the misuse of terms and using your own very narrow
definition of them in order to discredit others comments.
There are NO tactics in the NGE, everyone is the same. The combat is 1 (one)
action at a time, specials are shallow + or - , nothing more.
The queue was much better in planning and engaging in combat.
Did
you even play PRE-CU? Or is the DKIU style the only type of combat you have
played with?
Not trying to flame here, but your responses lead me to believe
ok, i guess i wont just leave it as that lol.you never played PRE-CU, and eq combat clones are all you have seen. Anyone who
played PRE-CU, and knows the skills and combat system available at the time
would not be making statements as you are now.
Also, mind shot.... The lamest skill ever... If that’s the best downside you
can come up with then. wow, just wow.
All they had to do was replace that skill, or give people a way to heal mind...
OR fix the gaping whole in helmets that allowed the player to be shot directly
in the eye ignoring armor...
Seems like that would have been better than removing the mind bar, and
everything attached to it.
whatever.

See SOE. This is ergonomic design at its best! Instead of just releasing a product with no consideration to the physical difficulties of using it (like the garish icons introduced with the CU that made it impossible for color blind people to play), Shae has covered all bases.
Great work Shae! 5 stars and a cookie.
