  • There is also a pretty large number of vets that still play on classic,non-live servers, so there is still a lot of folks around enjoying the game. Totally beyond me why EA is not trying to do something with this playerpool.
  • That is actually an interesting point. I think a lot of character forming, development of social skills and learning happens during that age, so maybe putting them in front of a grindy computer game is not the best idea? Would actually be interested…
  • Something like e.g. DAoC is too complex to run on a tablet (control-scheme wise). WoW - or rather the iOS clone Order&Chaos - actually works quite well on the iPad tho. But it is still more comfortable to play these games on a pc, imho.
  • Hi guys, thanks for the input! After hours of repeatedly re-initializing the system, testing all components etc, I decided to just by the cheapest wireless stick I could find - and lo and behold, the system works and is stable again, including int…
  • Originally posted by Quizzical Are you able to: 1)  Plug the wireless adapter into a different computer and have the Internet work on the other computer with the adapter but not without it? Yes 2)  Plug the wireless adpater into a USB slot tha…
  • Good point - went with 4GB Ram, Corsair 550W PSU and an Asus M4A87TD board. The stock cooler is surprisingly good,  CPU never gets above 52 degrees celsius under full load.
  • Just to give an update - bought the above components and new system is running like a dream. Thanks again!
  • Ok, that was quite informative, thank you! So would a Corsair 80x certified 550W PSU be sufficient then?
  • Cheers for those thoughts. The PSU is a Seasonic S12 (or some such), which got pretty favorable reviews and is said to be extremely capable. So I'll just wait and see what happens there. As for the GPU - that is on the list, just not at the top ri…
  • Ram just seems dirt-cheap these days and I do use my computer for work-related stuff ocassionally where more ram comes in handy. The Powersupply is a good point. I used a website to calcuate my power needs with the new setup and that came out at 3…
  • While Rift ist likely the more polished game on release, I'd have to say Xsyon. Simple because I can see something novel and interesting coming out of that game; something that can benefit the genre as a whole. Rift on the other hand contributes not…
  • And if you google it, there has recently been a report on how to upgrade the low-priced 6850 to the high-end 6870 model through a bios-update. You can kiss your warranty goodbye of course, but if you like this sort of 'hacking' - great value for the…
  • Ok , just a thought then: While I agree that LoTRO has a good F2P model, it should be noted that the game already had a life as P2P title - box sales, sub fees etc. Chances are Turbine has made back the money they put in to produce it and then som…
  • Agree, Jar Jar was a big annoyance for me as well. I have no issue with comic relief characters, but I also think the robots did a fine job with that in the original trilogy without being obnoxious and retarded. Lucas tried way too hard to appeal to…
  • I don't know, I take the scores for what they are - a way to gauge the quality of a game as seen by the majority of users on this site. I can then go on and read to individual comments for more specifics on the game or the 'professional' review by o…
  • There is a subtle difference that you are not considering there... For example, I am one of those that didn't really enjoy DragonAge - BUT that was not because the game was poorly made, but more because it wasn't my cup of tea. Most criticism with…
  • well, to me it seems like BW is trying to cut a few corners by only including humans. Adding other species to the mix may well open them up to further criticism if they don't adjust the story lines to affect cultural/racial backgrounds etc. Then the…
  • I'm sure people would be interested to know how long you have played so far - just to get an idea of how well-founded your opinion is. 
  • If you are thinking about it, it's usually a good sign that it's time to let go. You can not rationalize a decision like this - pro or contra.    Game addiction is something you should not take lightly. It does not come with the same physical de…
  • Having no quests means basically that you are watching a movie without plot.  You know, I could live without much questing in DAoC, because the point of the game was RvR and killing mobs was merely a way to get there. But a game that revolves arou…
