Nobody is developing a game that has the isometric view point, so it has that going for it.
The original 'vision' of the UO world has been totally muddled. When it first came out, it was shunned in a way because of the rampant 'murdering' or PKing that was going on. There were very few restrictions on your actions and it had vast potential to be a truly dynamic world.
Then in steps EA. They have pussified UO to the point where players can live wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket of safety. Amassing virtual stuff until they get bored and quit playing. This pussification is what will kill UO, not the new games coming out. Before it was dangerous and intriguing, now its just how much pixels of crap you can collect.

THIS game (Horizons) looks to have the vision to do something truly cool. This along with Star Wars:Galaxies are my highly anticipated games. Hopefully one or the other will let the players acctually shape the world. That would be awesome.
I love dual CPUs.
My dual 400 p2 runs much smoother than my single 800. It's not faster persay, but smoother.
I do a lot of rendering, and that is where I really see the performance difference, or when running Photoshop & 3d Studio at the same time.
That's pretty sad.
We are raising a son, 3 years old now, my goal is to prepare him for homeschool type courses for junior high years, and lead him into a Junior College for the high school years.
Public High Schools are ridiculous. Second rate education, and a constant social clusterfuck. Why not just attend JC where you can choose your courses, and pursue your intrests at a collegiate level?
