Mendel said: Yawn. Sorry, I only got about halfway down the Agree/Disagree page. Exactly how many times do you need to ask about thinking? I think I like to think I enjoy thinking. Or maybe that's the stroke talking. I thought it was inter…

It's an honest study. Nothing hidden. I have been a gamer since Pong in the mid to late 70s. Video game research is actually a lot of fun. Also, research on this subject is not about replicating studies of tired 50 year old theories. You should take…

I have always thought that being forced to PVE is a bad move on behalf of MMO designers. PVP gamers are not motivated by the same things as PVE gamers. Thus PVE becomes boring, pointless, and monotonous. If the game is centered around leveling the…

Gear will always give someone an advantage in PVP. The old sandboxes like UO were as close to equality as an MMORPG could get. In the early days the best gear a person could get was equipment crafted by a gm blacksmith. It generally consisted of eit…

I was suspended for 3 days because I was trying to convince someone to hand me their gear. I told them I could duplicate it. I couldn't. I just wanted to steal it. He reported my statement to a GM, they took my to UO jail for 3 days. No joke. When I…

It was late 1997 for me. I watched my younger brother play Ultima Online. Although his internet connection was not the greatest, and his avatar moved like a robot, I was hooked. I loved the (then) infinate possibilities for character creation, and t…
