I'm impressed and pleased to see CCP making an innovative move like this - integrating multiple gameplay styles within the same overall game world.
A developer dependent upon an external publisher would be unlikely to make, or to be able to make, …

I only have a couple things to say.
First, it's not, "Launch rear photon torpedoes." It's, "Aft torpedoes, fire!"
And it's not, "Warp speed 9, engauge." It's, "Warp 9, engauge."

Indeed. Mankind was the first MMO I played, in 1999. I investigated UO only after I'd seen Mankind and realized the persistent-world g…
Ah, I see. I'm sorry I misunderstood. Thank you for clarifying your questions!
At present - and I mean to make it very clear that this is still subject to change - the server design includes an area that is consensual-PvP-only, and an area that i…

I hope Darkfall isn't vaporware. Those guys claim to be trying some very interesting things that haven't been done successfully in a mainstream product. Assuming I can put together the time to actually play, I'm looking forward to trying the game …
Terribly sorry to hear this sad news about Laura. I met her as Taera when she moderated an IRC dev chat some of my teammates and I participated in several months ago. She was very professional as well as delightful to work with in that often diffi…

Sorry, Kyleran, I'm afr…
You'd think Funcom could use an algorithm to at least verify an account had logged in before awarding the capes. A coworker of mine had been unable to participate in beta due to "technical issues" with the beta client (at least three tries that I k…
