Quests I actually liked: The Rift quest where you are supposed to investigate why townsfolk were acting strangely and you slowly figure out that the entire town has been replaced by shapeshifters - that was fun. Something fairly open-ended, wher…

All problems sorted out - EA got my code sent to me, and the extra charges were removed. All's well that ends well - can't wait to play the game!

Favorite places? Probably from AC, the Acid Vault. I can't believe that any AC players would label Arwic, that pit, that sewer of a town as any kind of a favorite place. It should have been destroyed long before it was. Fort Teth and Qalabar were …

These rankings actually seem very sensible to me - they certainly don't make me angry at all. They are not, of course, a good metric of whether a MMO is all that interesting in the long term, but they fairly accurately reflect how polished a game is…

Great piece. To reiterate what others have been saying, the idea that a game has to make you the one savior of the world is just a lot of nonsense. What's important is feeling like you're a part of something. Asheron's Call never made you feel like …

I think this article wrongfully implies that the major criticism of STO is its failure to be true to the IP, namely in that it favors combat over diplomacy. While some people do have this complaint, it seems that much more criticism is directed at…

Great article and great innovation. Like others have said, this is one of the few things that would have me be interested in this game. I hope others pick this up. I'm always puzzled when people don't want social features in a social game. I mean, i…

Looks like Evony, except not created by wacky criminals, and no boob ads.

You could play Ryzom, and use the 21-day free trial period to find a nearby bank with poor security.

From everything I've read this game sounds like playing Starfleet Command with less tactical depth, crappy avatar combat tacked on, and the privilege of paying a monthly fee.

The three that I use the most from your list all go together - Not interested in another themepark, grindfest, WoW clone. See? Three in one. The thing I don't like about this post is its intimation that most gripes are irrational, coming from the…

I live in a huge apartment building that's all on one ISP, so I can't change that. My comp is sufficient; it's not on W98. I can deal with a slow download; I can't deal with error messages and no download.

...and I show up here not to argue or complain, but just to ask, in my small way, for as much of an open, explorable world as is humanly possible.

Nothing epitomizes the sad state of the industry better than the notion that these five pitiful offering could be considered the "best" of anything.

Great post. I don't know about best MMO ever (I still vote for the original AC), but it did have some great features. To me it was game that parts of the game that rocked and parts that just sucked. I'm with you in hoping that SW:TOR doesn't throw o…

Now were getting the "this is how it's going to be, if you don't like it play something else" responses I expected. To whomever told me to go play EVE, I don't have any particular interest. Same with SWG, to a great extent. Those games represent the…

I want to be clear that I am NOT arguing that SWTOR should be just like SWG - as numerous people have pointed out, there were a ton of big flaws in SWG ranging from class imbalances to a lack of story content, etc. However, if SWTOR forces players…

There's few people out there who don't get bored with 10/fedex quests. I don't think these quests are terrible in and of themselves; they're only bad when you're penalized for not doing them or there's nothing else interesting to do. You want to see…

I completely agree with you that much of SWG's open world was fairly empty. Given the size of the design team in SWTOR, there should be no reason for an empty world. As I emphasized in my original post, I believe that the source of a dull world in g…
