Hmm, to the first 2 responses, I would point at the topic, because you apparently lack the IQ to READ the reply sent by the GM ICINI. The GM used its character name in replying not his GM name.
I only read throug…
Hmm.. yes, should probably be "remain polite", and not "remain politely", but to be so nitpicky as to call the GM stupid over it...
Or what do you mean? I can't spot anything else wrong.
I went for EVE, although there isn't much "smack talk" as such... (as in unreadable profanity and leet) But the EVE playerbase for a large part consists of the anti-social rejects which didn't fit into other games, you put them all into one game whe…
yep.
I like that there are so many different things to do - 24 classes, 17 (soon 18) races, more quests and dungeons than you can do or visit with one character, and the graphics (unless on low settings) are awesome. And they add things as well,…

Thank you very much for your advice. That gave me a confidence boost. I'm thinking of playing WoW on a European server as I'm from the UK (England). Do you know much about WoW? I mean, do you thinks it's user-friend…
Thourne, you must have me confused with the person first mentioning houses, as you are saying the same thing as I did. That the houses still standing aren't from 2003 but from 2005.
There are a lot of alts being started by the older players, so the newbie areas are quite busy, in my experience. (altoholic myself)
Newbies can choose starting place themselves, Qyenos, Freeport of Faydwer, and soon Neriak.

Gamasutra is the game developers site, and despite the humorous name it is a serious site in its field.
"I would have done it a lot differently, and I think that's what's really been driving a lot of this," said Blakely, SOE's vice president of d…

I'll move onto a hypothetical now. If there was a game designed that:

Of all the issues that arise with this type of discussion, for me, the idea that if you don't believe in and fear god, you can't tell right from wrong scares me the most.
There are people who don't have a conscience, no empathy, no feelings if you…
Sorry to be unclear and rambling.
I think its a shame that grouping is seen as the only form of social interaction available in an MMO. I think that if you have a persistant world full of thousands of people there is so much more you can offer th…
It's the game.
There is so much to be said about the whole CU and NGE, and how it was introduced that I won't even bother. But face it, if they had replaced it with something which was running smoothly, was actually "fun and exciting", it would …
Quick answer: No, the cd won't interfere.
You aren't paying for the client, you are paying for access. Make a new station account for the trial, and you log in using that one. Presuming you are talking about the normal free trial and not the free…
I'd say seeing conspiracy theories of mind control where other people see taking an interest in a hobby is a more typical display of cult like thinking.
Then again.... I do visit dev blogs to read interesting thoughts on design concepts, I take a…

It seems to me that game developers are just sensitive divas. I get the feeling that a lot or reporters don't dare to do their job properly because they will be cut off from invites to demos, previews, pre-release information etc.
As if actors, d…
Far be it for me to disagree with DarthRaiden's wise words...
However, if you do want to give it a bit of a try, they recently gave entertainers the opportunity to use their expertise points in unarmed combat. (reusing as I understand the animatio…
You don't say which mage classes you have already tried and why you didn't like them.
Have you tried illusionist/coercer? (good/evil respectively)
They are both pretty hard classes to get good at, but if you do, you do both - you can solo pretty ef…
