Wouldn't something anti-cheating like GameGuard basically require something like a rootkit?
If it ran in open memory it would just be modded immediately by hackers.
This is not an indictment of the US legal system (which is heavily flawed). This is a suit before the US Patent and Trademark Office. Administrative law courts are an entirely different animal from what you think of as the court system.

It is true that you are indirectly paying to beta test, but you aren't paying Funcom. You are paying Fileplanet for mem…
I agree with most of the other posters and disagree with the OP but I will say that everyone looks the same. I've looked at hundreds of screenshots and have about 50 high resolution ones saved to my computer for repeat viewing. Unless you are wearin…
Alll of your characters come from one of three countries. These are proto-medieval countries (i.e., not open heterogenous countries like the US or England). If you want to be black as in of negroid origins, you probably need to be from Kush or somep…
I always thought "open" meant open to testers who are not just employees, family, and friends.
You don't sound like you really want to test the game. That's what beta is for, not free play. They said this week open beta will be tens of thousan…

A. How amazingly fast they can build a game.
They are a third of the way done already!

I came to MMORPG.com specifically to post about how utterly boring (or annoying) this video was. They proudly proclaim that it is all in-game footage.
This is two minutes of them putting together the most exciting footage they could find...and it's…

Something else.
I think Warhammer looks incredibly boring. I was so excited when they first announced it. I've been playing WFRP for over 15 years. But the latest iteration looks terrible. Have you seen their most recent video?

I quit DDO a few months ago. I played during alpha and beta and post-launch. I only bought the game because I was grateful to have playtested for so long. I never really enjoyed it much.
I posted this same issue after public release in the DDO forum…
LOTRO is to LOTR what DDO is to D&D. Take that as you will.
On the plus side, just about any game will have more content than DDO did at launch. I'd love to have the perfect game (of course) but I think when you get close to $50 box +$30 subscr…
Is anyone who bought this game at launch still actually playing it? I seriously doubt it.
I've played D&D for 25 years, in every edition of the game published since 1980. I own 26 hardbacks for D&D 3.5 (plus more for Modern/SW, etc).
I star…
Profit is not a factor in determining fair use, only in recouping losses.
Fan fiction is not educational. Read the USC again:
criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research

The diplomacy sphere is one of these things that looks good on paper. I applaud the inclusion of more non-combat content, and I respect the attempt to enliven cities by putting more to do in them. It's a great idea.

Paypal reversed the charges, I never thought there would be an issue with that, especially since Silkroad is a Verisign site (guaranteed by paypal).
I don't really need any help, my point was to help other people be aware of it and watch out for i…
Oh, I agree about the community. After playing tons of multiplayer Starcraft and Diablo, I thought the blizzard community would make WOW suck the same way.
The thing about Conan is, although it is attracting those people, I'm not sure that's not th…
I hate DDO, but if you have a public posting forum, you will end up with a board full of ads. Go to any public internet site of any size and you'll see what I'm talking about.
That said, you should probably allow previous subscribers to post. Excep…

Ok, I've only been playing this game for 2 months now and I've seen a HUGE segregation on opinion. On one side you have the Pen and Paper players who were hoping for a good representation of their b…
What I meant about DDO's flaws were not bugs or problems with the servers. The same is true for my concern about the "condition" of LOTRO on release.
As far as DDO goes (I will re-iterate--the same maker of LOTRO) I meant the fact that the entire …
Part of my concern is the fact that I never saw the devs announce that alpha had begun. I already play other MMOs and have played them enough in my life. I'm not anticipating LOTRO, per se. But I am following it.
A large part of my concern stems f…
