By the data to date, there is only one animal in the Galaxy dangerous to man, man himself. So he must supply his own indispensable competition. He has no enemy to help him.- Lazarus Long
The real issue comes down to why are there two inseprable, exclusive factions? Why must there be this stark dichotomy in the first place? Why are the players not themselves allowed to pledge allegience to any number of factions, alliances, brotherho…
Andromedus1, thanks for this thread. You started with a well thought out proposal, and continued (along with many other posters) with thoughtful and insightful discourse. On top of it all, it's an interesting read, with which I can relate.
Absolutely not.
The entire concept of Myspace, Facebook, Livejournal, and the like are one of the worst plagues known to the internet. They're even worse than 4chan and Somethingawful. Why would I join something that was just a glorified Myspace t…

You're asking for the holy grail. Skill based AND good graphics AND good pvp? If you're into space simulators, EVE could work for you, but if you're looking for a more traditional fantasy MMO, there's not really anything out or to be hyped over.
I've always heard this measurement of time referred to as a 'tick'. To each his own, though.
