  • I've said it before, PvP in mmorpgs is a pointless affair as long as levels exist. You are simply pitting your "more time spent stats" against "less time spent stats" so griefing people is just a pathetic expression of your own desire for power. …
  • The ideas in the article are a great example of what's wrong with capitalism. The idea is to take a good concept or product and squeeze it until all the jiuce runs out. Usually, after the first ten or twenty squeezes the juice gets pretty bitter as …
  • I've become a huge critic of this genre. That's because I see most of these games for what they are, and that's a capitalist trick. What that means is that the maker (it could be anything) created hype about how great their product is, and then sell…
  • I tried playing for a few months, but could not get past the boredom. The character models are ugly. It is sad that I am better looking than the average character. All the males look somewhat retarded, and I mean that literally. There is littl…
  • Originally posted by Reklaw Originally posted by TheAdlerian I have to say that although I now support powerleveling services I have never used one. That's because I refuse to waste the money and I would no longer pay cash to a game company that …
  • I have to say that although I now support powerleveling services I have never used one. That's because I refuse to waste the money and I would no longer pay cash to a game company that attempts to rip me off via a tedious grind. So, I would not supp…
  • If these games were fun to play the term "grind" would not have been invented and even if it would have been, then it would be an obscure and difficult to understand term.
  • The first MMORPG that I played I was really into and when I found out about powerleveling I was extremely angry about it for a variety of reasons that I won't expand on. Anyway, after I discovered what "grind" meant I realized that MMORPGs for th…
  • That games is heinously boring, and pking is all about who did the most grind. You have achieved nothing.
  • Ultima was great because the old stand alone games that came before it were great. There was a story, you had a team of characters to maintain, your actions could and would make the team members happy or angry, there was a giant world to explore, an…
  • Please review my recent post. I believe that no matter who the OP spoke to or didn't he still makes good points. As mentioned I believe that most MMORPG and "capitalist tricks" designed to provide a false sense of adventure and personal achievemen…
  • After being alive for almost four decades I've noticed changes in myself. One of them is that when I was younger I used to take a kind of sinister pleasure watching fools, but now I suppose that I've mellowed, and now I simply can't stand to see, es…
  • The above post is correct. The only good game for fighting would be one where all characters have the same HP. Then battle would be determined by weapons and armor made or found. Then, you could be proud of your reactions and your choice of gear.…
  • You know,  I'm surprised. I always assumed that the number of dufuses numbered in the billions.
  • Originally posted by Regetsu The trend I have been noticing is how much you've been posting... No but seriously, MMO's have to last a while and the easiest way to keep people playing is giving them a ton of levels to attain and a ton of grinding. F…
  • The above post speaks of "advantage" in a mmorpg and to date, based on the games that I've played, I have no idea what that means. It could mean the "advantage" to level faster. To that, I have to say, so what. The only result of others advancin…
  • I've mentioned before that I'm a 39 year old man. During the last large portion of that time I have spent criminally large amounts of time trying to earn money (at a noble profession that doesn't pay a lot) and building my trade. At certain points…
  • After playing COH I wanted to play a new game and have a great adventure. At that point I was in denial about grind and the reality that mmorpgs using it are boring unethical tricks designed to hook players with the promise of good things that ba…
  • Sorry about the formatting in the above message. Something strange happened and it remove all of my paragraph breaks. 
  • COH was the first mmorpg that I even played. As I mentioned before I'm a 39 year old man that is married and has two masters degree, and so on. So, the game certainly had an appeal that affected me. I loved the art in the game and the character de…
