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…

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.
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…
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…
