I've played MMOs since they first crawled from the mudd pits (get it?), and this is hardly a disastrous launch.
Most of the service issues I've read about are resulting from people very used to a clean account registration experience and just didn…

Rusque, I think your opinion regarding the convergance of consoles and other devices toward what the PC already brings to the table is the most rational and observant opinion I've read so far about this topic. I tend to agree with that perspective. …

I've really never seen such pompous arrogance in a review before, and I'm quite sure all of it was unwarranted. No one knows or cares who you are, you impress no one with your sophomoric music and audio terminology.…
Good review here again. After your last review, which got me interested in the tech behind good headphones, I finally bought the Sennheiser HD448 headphones. I'm still getting used to them but am blown away by the quality of sound you can get out of…
Carolyn, that was an awesome review. I loved the technical details in this piece! I'd be very interested in the methods you use to test headphones in general, especially the frequency response you showed.
I have to say, I feel the need to ask if y…
Just want to throw this thought out there. If you're visiting a site you like regularily, you really should disable your adblocker. Come on, for many sites, it's their main source of income. It's not THAT bad. There are sites with irritating adverti…

People have already started leaving over this. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more each day. I'm giving Bliz. a chance to come to their collective senses. If this is pushed live, the next step would be in game if th…
I don't completely agree with what you wrote about Seed. As was mentioned above, they really just didn't get the funding. Couldn't find a publisher or enough investors to foot the bills. There was a huge amount of potential there. To this day, that …

It saddens me how CHEAP most of you get your internet for. 7 EUROS a month? What?!
Here in Canada it's extreme.
Currently, our only good ISP here, Rogers, charges us 69.99/month CAD. 25mbps download, 1mbps upload…
Most games, especially MMOs use a pretty mild amount of bandwidth. Though, anyone who downloads lots of media are getting the squeeze. This includes anyone who downloads lots of free mmo game clients too.
I don't believe we have to rely on yet mo…
He stated 2GB of Corsair system RAM in the AoC review in July and again in the WoW review earlier this year and over a year ago in the Hellgate review. Same system, same amount of RAM stated.
Look... I understand the ego and pride of writing a revi…
The people at Icarus Studios have simply done great work here. It's obviously attracting players who can appreciate good game design and longevity.
I'm sure its going to continue to improve over time. Each patch has lots of fixes and tweaks. Crazy…
I played the Realm and Meridian59 as well as lots of MUDS before UO came out. I remember seeing a story in a magazine about the upcoming release of UO (at that time) and was hooked. I still have my huge charter edition UO box with the cloth map, let…
nate1980, I do know there are some level of detail settings which directly affect the terrain. I think terrain is typically an area that is highly optimized for performance in many MMOs. There are lots of screenshots on this site for the game. Looki…
Just want to add that you actually have two choices for pre-ordering. Just go to the official website for both choices. Basically, you can order through Direct2Drive and receive a special horse mount or you can order directly through the developer a…
