HOW TO ENJOY MMOS IN THE 21ST CENTURY:
Step 1: Never EVER go to a game's official forums. EVER.
The only people who go there are so full of rage that they took the time to stop playing the game to go POST ON THE FORUMS instead. Really. There are …

In my opinion, Vanguard died because it was released too close to Everquest II,
Usually, I find it appallingly hilarious when people don't do even the most basic of fact checking before posting an opinion that ju…
Well, hovering over the link shows that it actually does link to battle.net, so if it's a scam it's a damn clever one, what with using Blizzard's actual servers and all.

Have box sales of 1.5 million where the game topped at only having 300k subs playing doesn't really sound succesful

2 of those are mine, one NA, and one EU...should have only gotten EU. I'm not paying anymore money (and I haven't since buying the copies of the game) to them until they fixed the seriously flawed game that currently exis…

Pretty sure the number I've seen tossed around was about $80 million on development. The last (and most believable, actually) number I've seen was "Around 30 million".The 100 million number comes from some fluff piece…

This is why I don't play these small MMO games (APB, Darkfall, Vanguard, etc.)---their future in uncertain. I will only trust MMOs that are backed by BIG companies like Blizzard, E…
Now the reason for the Lead Designer's departure is clear.
This is either his parting "gift" to us players, or they've asked him to leave because nobody can stand his...peculiar...sense of humor anymore.
And here I was expecting details on a new …

Got one too, always wanted to try this game. Will I have to buy the game box after the 30 days expire or just the 15 bucks for monthly subscription?
I just activated - they're gifting you the game client (normally $39…

Wow. Level 43 stuff. Didn't the game come out like, a couple weeks ago? I know people will just plow through content if they want to, but man...in a Cryptic game...kind of makes me feel sorry for y'all. But I didn't eve…

and i'll bet they still havent fixed the broken pree order items...
In fact, they have - it's not in the patch notes, however.
Within the limits of the NDA I'm (still) under from the first round of closed beta (which *does* say that I can say I was in that round of beta, but says that I can't share any information about the game, including my impressions of the game), I can…

most companies say 300k is a good money maker
There was a time (not that long ago, really) when 300,000 subs got you bragging rights as the Third Biggest MMO in the world.
That MMO was Star Wars Galaxies, and it held that…

Fix the vertical flying problem you . That's the number one thing needs changed.
Of course - because barrel rolls and loop-de-loops are so common in the canon Star Trek Universe.I'm sorry, but "vertical" flying is an e…

Plus what company that wants to make money dilibrately makes a crap game?
Don't forget that Cryptic has 'masters' that they have to please. CBS owns the IP, and nevermind what Cryptic wants out of the title - it's got to please the beancounters at …
