Depends on the type of player really. Complex can be fun, but also boring. The same could be said about simple.
It's always a debate much like it has been in art and music like with Nirvana to the Beatles.
I play MUD's when not playing MMO's or I play other genre of games that rock in my opinion like Street Fighter (toss me a PM if you want to play on XBOX Live).
Outside of games, I'm pretty country having lived in North Carolina (Funcom US Offices)…
I think it depends on what you consider innovative? I mean, some define innovative as taking an existing idea and making it better. Others may consider it as more or less invention where it's a completely new idea.
When you talk about taking somet…

Indeed, but in reference you have less or more to fear account compromises over time with various other games. Thus, policies are a bit different when it comes to character restoration depending on the game. In most cases however, they are the same …
Originally posted by rap87 Whelp, part of being fair and equitable is being able to see both sides of the equation. Funcom here is only seeing the side that supports $'s in their pocket. A customer is calling within 1 day of this charge being made…
Oh, I guess you did speak to someone afterall.
It's really hard to say. I mean, you have to look at this from our point of view.

Indeed, too much innovation will leave you with a game and no players. As someone mentioned, there has been a lot of tweeks to the wheel. But, it's the wheel everyone is seeking. If you buy a game and get a piece of wood, then you may be disappointe…
It sounds like the card was flagged for being a fraud. You may have to wait until Monday in order to receive some assistance on that issue. We do offer 24-7 support, but normal GM's will not be able to assist as much on cases where the card may be s…

Originally posted by Riceman After wading through 18 pages of a discussion on why MMORPGs are "dying," I decided to write a post on what I think the requirements are to make an MMORPG worthy of becoming a hobby instead of just a game.
