I would like to point out that nobody is "PAYING" for access to beta. Everybody who pre-purchased is "PAYING" for the game in ADVANCE. There happens to be perks associated with that, but that is not the same as paying for beta. Also, you can still g…

Open beta will not be initiated before Christmas, but will be a part of our strategy next year prior to our April 2012 launch.

The problem with MMO's nowadays is not the difficulty level. They are all pretty easy.
The actual problem is that these people that want to "work" in video games have a complex and want to feel special by showing off to other players. This is beca…
To OP:
To be honest I enjoy the vanity items in games. It adds a little more excitement to the game for me. What I don't like is that most games I've played have crappy looking gear or only a few cool looking sets of gear. Why play an mmorpg just …
Originally posted by JSchindler Hmm. Sounds like a cool game.
But yeah; I'm sure that WoW is to blame for ruining the life of a suicidal, mentally-ill compulsive.
When will the horror end?
You sir, need to show some compassion.

They do not and will never again have a sub only server (well for US anyway). Why would you as a player want to play on a sub only server for this game? The population would be so low you'd want to switch back.
Turbine's cash shop is fine. If you …

Originally posted by Torvaldr I'm really glad they've addressed and learned from some key speed bumps in Guild Wars - gimmicky builds, the puzzle pieces of skills/attributes, etc. That is very encouraging. I love the game and have been playing sin…
NBG has been considered standard group etiquette in mmo's for a very long time, just not built into the ui/coded. It's pretty much always been considered rude to roll on gear not meant for your character or another class that your character isn't p…
Unfortunately, if you want to be immersed into a great fantasy setting with great story, etc, you are looking at returning to pen and paper rpg's or console rpg's (ie. Elder Scrolls, etc.)
It's the sad state of the gaming industry currently.

You might want to check out DDO (Dungeons & Dragons Online). The quests are basically instanced dungeons that are narrated by a Dungeon Master for story. It's quite unique.
Edit: Plus you can play F2P or choose a subscription. Feel free to che…
I won't try this game out at all if it tries to add a sub plus model. Either go F2P w/cash shop or subscription, not both.
I'm against cash shops, even for "fluff"/cosmetics. It gives devs the motivation to put out bland, crappy looking gear/pets/…

Im sorry, but I have to say housing would be part of your paid subscription. It changes many things and is a selling point for more subscriptions. However, if there were micro-transactions for decorations, rooms, me…
If you'd like to jump in on a conversation about player housing being available through the cash shop please go to the following thread:

I consider guild housing a separate issue. I can see that affecting multiple players, but why would blizzard offer them together when they could charge for both. Business wise it would make more sense to sell guild and player housing as separate opt…

That is not 100% true as EQ2 and SWG have huge gameplay points to housing as they have to do with selling items, making money, and more space. Now some games are fluff like LOTRO last time I played it but it is n…
