By the point i mean, it's getting boring playing this silly love/hate game.
Can we start using forums to discuss games again? does it really matter if one person loves this game and another hates it? simply out, no it doesnt. whatever thread gets started here it always degenerates into the same old argument...some love it, some hate it. myself i love it and no matter what people say i like to play these games, and lets face it i would rather play the best game out there than nothing. and to me VG is the best mmo out there. i love fantasy and love mmo's and there is nothing that beats VG at the min. ok yes there are some more coming out, but untill they come out i cant play them! and untill they come out with no problems then VG is still the best there is for me 
People keep talking about ctd's etc bugs and general lack of polish, but dont forget that VG has a knack of playing different for each player, whether they have the same pc or not. Heres an example: i have a really average pc. 3.2 duel core. 2 gig ram. gforce 7300. the only time i ctd is if i enter a chunk thats down. i try it twice if the same happens i simply dont enter that chunk again untill a later date. FPS? strange one this. all i ever hear is "i am not gonna play a game unless i have constant 40FPS! why? no really why do you need 40 fps all the time? before you go calling me names i really get confused here as i play every day and the game runs smooth for me yet in the open i get around 15 fps and the wierd thing is recently i get higher FPS in citys? i really dont get the FPS thing at all! maybe it's just my wierd pc or something hehe.
But anyway ( i have started doing what i am asking us to stop ) lets stop the arguing and let people who dont like the game carry on not liking it. i am pretty sure if someone wants to give it a go they will whatever we write. hah i have even read posts and spoke to people in game that even gave it another go because the game gets so much stick. they simply want to see what all the arguing is about.
Bah forget it lets have another argument VG is the best out there and all you who say you dont like it are just so obsessed with the game that you cant leave it alone for for 5 mins without speaking your mind lol. come on admit it the game is a hundred times better than release and is easily the best fantasy mmo out there and will be for the next few years!
Comments
Yeh I agree. And actually most of the people that "hate" VG and are posting here did not even play VG. Or they play it for a few minutes on a buddykey (not even long enough to find out how to turn on minimap).
There are plenty of people in game that are happy they give it a try and enjoy the game and they can't understand why there is so much hate here on mmorpg.com. And it's not only people that played EQ1 or UO, but also people that played WoW before. Then there are lots of people enjoying the crafting to such extent that they have 3 or 4 level 50 crafters while didn't even hit level 10 in adventuring.
REALITY CHECK
As you said there is no point in arguing with someone about how he/she experiences the game. Some people like the game, others don't - why try to convince them they do/don't like it?
Personally, it's not like posts about how bad the game will change that I don't feel that way (I have played since beta 3).
I applaud your "attempt" to bring these discussion boards back to the facts surrounding gameplay and draw it away from the realm of emotion, but I don't think your initial statement and it's following paragraph live in the same household.
I think there is some misconception about what people complain about in the game versus what some people want to hear.
It doesn't take more than a 10 day trial key to experience bugs, broken code and bad performance. While some people run the game smoothly it is just as likely that the next person experiences many CTD, falling through the world, etc. A few months back the game ran smooth for me, now I have all crazy types of problems. I even broke out my old EQ2 test server journal to start keeping track so I can submit them later and I've already filled up a full page. It isn't like you have to play for more than 10 days to encounter errors or that somewho things will improve the more days you play.
Most people I see complaining about the game cite the broken game first and the lack of gameplay value second.
The game may be broken but all the horrow stories I hear about CTD, falling thru world I have not experienced, but that may be due to the fact that I travel with my job 100 percent of the week and only get a chance to play for about 5 hours each weekend. I also am playing the game using Windows XP and also I am using a 7000 series nvidia video card. I will keep playing and these forums will keep me entertained while I am traveling. Take care
Nice post but it'll have no effect.
This is mmorpg.com and it's been this way since I first visited this site over 4 years ago. I found it funny even back then. WoW and EQ2 had not launched yet but that didn't stop those waiting to play either game from going at it with the other crowd. This isn't the place to come to get any kind of real info about a game. It's the place to come to pointlessly argue. Just sit back and enjoy it.
For the most part, the people playing VG now are doing so because they enjoy it. I feel no special obligation to defend the game. I'll continue to play it as long as I continue to enjoy it.
