    then picked up a cheap box copy and moved from a lively game to a ghost-town. The first non-starter zone I visited had, for a good part of the time I was there, no other players in that zone.

    I cancelled my sub after only a week and left feedback that the game, as it stood, wasn't worth a subscription with its current population levels.

    Sounds like you are part of the problem. " There was no one playing so I quit" If everyone says that over a period of time you know you had enough players just no one stuck around.

    That is why MMO launch time is so important. You need to maintain the subs. only way that happens is if the game is fun and compelling.

    Three years between elections. I hold out hope as both major parties (liberal and labor) who are run by religious whackjobs and control freaks are losing ground to the greens. Hopefully we will get a Hung parliment like they had recently in the UK.

    WTF! Seriously. I'm glad I don't live in Queensland. I hope intelligent people are working to put a stop to this absolute fucking garbage! Christian "values" are taking Australia straight to a Authoritarian Theocracy. Americans we have uranium I promise to let you have some if you bring us democracy.

    We are also free to have a boycott facebook for being giant kowtowing douches. Wonder how that will effect their bottom line.

    Boycott facebook for offending our right to free speech IMO. Damn it I can't boycott facebook 'cause I don't use it, but I can encourage others to.

    I see you subscribe to the Australian politician point of view that depiction is the same as actual child sexual abuse material. Maybe you should report them to the AFP as well so the Great Firewall of Australia can censor the site.

    Remember kiddies thought crime is still crime.

    I consider that a sign of one of the strengths of Americas freedom of speech. That a group can say something politically and socially unpopular but still have a right to have and hold that message.

    Please correct me if that is wrong or has changed.
