• I also played on Darktide in its early days. I was one of the "good guys" too. And despite the harshness and at times frustrating nature of it, it remains the pinnacle of my MMO experience. There's no "rush" in MMO's these days, because there's no r…

• While I expect that by release there'll be some improvements, I'm still interested to know if anyone with something in the range of a  Pentium D 2.8ghz, 2GB RAM, x1950Pro, Windows XP ran it, and if so how'd it run?

• Very glad to see at least one game nowadays taking this step. Asherons Call PvP server was my favorite gaming experience precisely because of the risks I faced. Now I know for many it's too "hardcore" and such, so I'd be happy even if they just make…

• To some degree I agree with the OP regarding the nature of the combat issues. I feel the main drawback regarding combat in MMO's isn't so much whether it is fast paced or slow paced, but the incredibly repetitive nature of battles. Usually, you go o…

• I play WoW, and while I get a decent amount of enjoyment out of it, I'm not blind to the flaws it has. Really though, people should be glad for WoW even if you don't like the game. It's cemented the MMORPG as a part of the mainstream, which can only…

  in What's up with these countless "X game>WoW" threads? Comment by Yablo November 2006
• Here's some quick facts: PS3 will have cool games, XBOX360 will have cool games, Wii will have cool games. Personally I can't stand it when people have an almost religious fanaticism for one company or console. Just buy the one with the games you li…

• Some really good ideas already in this thread! I don't have a huge preference when it comes to setting, though I suppose I lean more towards fantasy than futuristic. The important things about the environment is that it needs to be large, open, an…

• If your computer isn't up to par when it comes to running Oblivion, you might wanna look into Morrowind and its expansions. The mod community is even to this day still putting out content, and the years of mods already made really enhance it beyond …

  in What offline games do you play/recommend? Comment by Yablo October 2006
• Yeah, I'll definately give a nice big salute to what AC did in its glory days. In its prime it gave me the best gaming days of my life, and to this day I look forward to any game which might take the ideas that it had and run with them. My fondest…

  in so ac is like... Comment by Yablo October 2006
• I guess I would classify myself as "cautiously optimistic" at hearing the changes coming to TBC. Part of me wants to believe that WoW PvP will become the free flowing adreneline pumping affair it should be instead of the tedious grind it is now. How…

• You know, it's funny I should come across this thread, seeing as how I was about to post something with a very similar gist myself just recently. I totally agree with the premise that the MMO genre is quite stale at the moment, and is in need of som…
