Originally posted by Slapshot1188 I think DAoC had it right. Item decay (greater depending on how much higher the item was than your level) but allowing you to repair it.. but repairing lowers durability and eventually your item would be unrepaira…

Im seeing some people argue that with his name and his history, he should be able to secure any funding he wants. its not that easy well it is, that is if you are willing to give up somethings in return. If im going to give someone 10 million fo…

It wont affect the future of any sandbox game. If it flops, it flops, and the year after that another sandbox will come out and so on and so forth. The reason it wont affect the future of sandbox games if it does flops is because gamers today are …

Originally posted by Jemcrystal I think when a company hires forum workers they should check up on them to see if the forum employees are harassing the gamers. Here is a post I made today and note the moderator's treatment. Also note that thi…

15-10 years ago the internet was populated by smarter people because the internet required brain power to get into and navigate. The "I quit" threads that are so popular. Ive wondered why studios never hold those people to their word. "This game …
