Thanks for all the advice. The game's simply massive, so I need all I can get. I have a couple more newb questions, and this board is a lot better than noob-corp chat, so further advice would be great.

Hey, thanks for the great response. You answered all my questions, I appreciate it. There's a lot more for three players to do than I thought.
If and when we all play, I think we'll do as you suggest -- start a corp of our own, and l…
I've given the Vanguard trial a try over the past few days. I've only played two or three hours, but the world does have a better sense of mystery than other MMOs -- I got bored with an early "kill 5 crocodiles" quest and just stomped off into the w…
Thanks for all the suggestions. It looks like Istaria, LotRo, Ryzom, Vanguard, and Wurm all have trials or F2P options, so I'll probably give each one a go. Hopefully one of them will have enough appeal for both me and the relatives I plan to play w…
Planetside is a constant three-way war--the Terran Republic, New Conglomerate, and Vanu Sovereignty at each others' throats, all day every day. In fact, that's all there is, for better or worse--constant FPS combat, hold the RPG stuff.
Hope that h…
Eve Online is heavily based on its economy, if space/sci-fi is your thing. Hell, the guilds in the game are called "corporations", so that should hint at just how important economics is to Eve.
I don't really like either of them, but I'll go with Senden--get SWG if you have to get one. I've played pretty much every Final Fantasy, and even I loathe FFXI with a passion.
SWG isn't brilliant, but it's much better than FFXI, and I haven't ev…
This FAQ, I think, has the info you're looking for, if you scroll down to section 5: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/game/920087.html
Hope it helps.
I agree that the rating system could use some sort of amendment. The problem, like you say, is the fact that the rating average is easily swayed by dishonest fanboys. The ratings of those who try to be objective about a game are undermined by morons…
Planetside is definitely over the hill, though I guess that's not news. There are some factors speeding that decline: like the BFRs, which are still too powerful and too common (an atrocious combination), and the annoying player-warping that's been …
I heartily agree about the BFRs--they are annoying as all hell. Something that powerful ought to be extraordinarily rare. I'm sick of seeing them around every corner.
I've played Planetside as recent as two months ago. It's still a good game, as i…
