It's amazing how many Christians believe in democracy, wherein it's wrong to make it illegal to take things without someone's permission on an individual scale, but who then turn around and make it legal to take things without permission on a mass scale, i.e. taxation.
Funny, I can't remember where Jesus said it was OK to steal stuff as long as at least 51% of the people are engaged in the theft. Christians, I'm talking to you.
> I absolutely would fire the people involved for taking what > should have been a slam-dunk title
I don't know. Sword games you can kind of get away with the idiocy of swords being weak. But a gun game? It may have been doomed from the start.
Consider the next great thing after LoTR MMORPG, Star Trek MMORPG. Are you gonna tell me you're forbidden from setting your phaser on disintegrate until you're level 50 because Star Fleet Academy won't let you? And, of course, by that time every thief in an alley will posess dodging skills and armor plating the Borg would drool over.
Ding! Congratulations! You are now level 2 and may change your phaser setting from 5 shots to kill a rat to 2 shots to kill a rat!
Uh, no thanks./petition The ship went into warp and I got left behind and my body died floating in space.
Alls I can says is I hopes you get City of Heroes-like, or at least SWG-like ability to customize your green dancing girl.
What happens is one website writes something - then 5 more link to it.. so it must all of a sudden be true. I wish it worked that way.
- Smed, Fearless Leader of EQ
Believe me, buddy, we wished it worked that way, too.
Then you wouldn't have been nerfing left and right. You'd have been fixing the problems instead. Boost the warrior instead of tearing down the necromancer, if the necro's pet can solo a warrior. Boost the magician's pet instead of tearing down the necromancer. Boost the monster AI instead of nerfing charm and pet attacks and DoTs that also slow the monster. Boost the monster AI instead of letting monsters hit through walls.
I remember at CDGC, sitting next to one of the Dev's for WoW while it was under construction and listening to Raph talk. When he said that players WANT forced downtime in an MMO - whether they say they do or not - the Blizzard Dev got up and left.
If that statement is true, Then I'm not sorry to see him go.
That from the same company that thought half the people playing the game should spend that downtime with a book in their face "meditating" for the joy of getting konked on the head by a wandering monster once in awhile. This in a brand new 3d world, you don't get to look at it 70% of the time.
EQ succeeded in spite of most of its design, not because of it. And WoW I don't get, either. It doesn't have the downtime, but it doesn't have the fun play of, say, City of Heroes or DDO. But in those games the "scrapper" or "fighter with high damage" are actually fun to play because they smash the mold of melee is tank-with-a-toothpick.
> I'm pretty sure all the info is in one of the short stories > in "Tales from Jabba's Palace."
Writers fill in pap all the time. If it doesn't appear in the movies, it doesn't count. As far as I'm concerned, a lightsaber could still cut "The Mandalorian Armor". Lucas went through the neck simply because he didn't want to have to have it not be able to cut something. If push came to shove in a movie, down goes the armor.
Because we all know that, in real life, seven people with rifles can stand there around a dog shooting at it, while an eigth stands there and hoses it with a flamethrower, and the dog not only doesn't die, but continues to fight back for 30 seconds or more before dying. Not screaming instantly and trying to flee.
Hmmmm...let's go grind on llama-giraffes since they're the equivalent fighters to a stormtrooper with rifle. How utterly fun. How utterly Star-Warsy.
Don't pretend the original SWG didn't have its own problems similar to UO, though. Anchorhead being taken over by half a dozen Imperials who have all taken the stack-armor-class-to-infinity options of picking and choosing the starter bonus AC skills from a dozen different classes was very similar to UO's pk problem. What's the point of a gun if you can stand there and shoot such a person, point-blank, for ten minutes and not kill them? Meanwhile they hose you in 2 shots.
Take the baddest ass human gunfighter who ever lived, give him the best kevlar body armor ever invented, his favorite gun, and put him 10 feet away from a guy who's never held a gun before in his life. Do you think the trained guy has only a trivial chance of dying? No. Do you think Leia could 1-shot stormtroopers because she was level eight billion in gun training and had a ten billion credit gun from deep inside a laboratory somewhere?
> UO at that time was fun for all the opposite reasons that > Raph intended. They didnt plan for it to become a murder > fest.. but people basically did whatever they wanted.
When UO realized a larger chunk of their sales were 13 year olds getting their buddies to join, too, so they could stand in small gangs outside the cities and loot the role players instead of the monsters, they had to make a choice: role players or pk. They chose pk. So the roleplayers largely left, drying up the supply of suckers.
This is similar to the male lion in Africa. It lies around until the females, hungry, go take down the gazelle, then it saunters up and chases the females away and eats. Why go kill 100 monsters just to get that mediocre sword, when all you have to do is lie in wait for someone who already has?
The Flaming Sword of Ogre Strength And Shooting Lightning Out Your Ass? Just junk. What? Yes. I would like to destroy it, thanks.
I wanted it even more severe than that. I wanted a "no trading" server where you earned your equipment in the field, or bought l4m3r stuff at the store for outrageous prices. No player-player trading.
In this manner, there can be no "busted economy" because there is no economy. If you can never, ever get something to drop at your level that is better than what you can get for 5p at the bazaar, what's the point of going out to adventure? To grind? But people hate grinding. So what's the point?
The point, largely, is to get to the endgame, where there remain a handful of non-tradeable items that are better than what's for sale in the bazaar. Ah haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
> And how many truly groundbreaking games were based on movies?
"Groundbreaking" is also misused a lot. The most recent Wired has a brief (i.e. bullet list) article about the origin of the Orc. One of the items is the "groundbreaking" game World of Warcraft. I will admit WoW broke ground for number of customers, but as a game it was hardly groundbreaking. It looks pretty good, but the gameplay is nothing special. Although I suppose that is at least an advantage over SWG, who shows it can get messed up, and then extremely messed up.
MMORPG addicts have memories like an elephant, and hold grudges. They remember all the nerfs, for example, EQ gave them over the years, and when the time to break away came, they did, and refused to get EQ2, etc. SWG will be in the same boat. WoW will not because, even through there have been some nerfs, it hasn't been on the same magnitude. Nah, the WoW franchise will have to die the old fashioned way, when WoW II is released.
Nah, I'd have to disagree. This is not a new phenomenon.
Brand X, er, that's generic X as in the unknown, not X-men, is a hot property.
Company who owns Brand X wants to take advantage of new media market M
Company doesn't make market M things, so licenses it off to someone who does
Brand X is popular, so only large corporations can afford to license it
Company in market M then has a brand they paid a ton for, and must sell it well to even dream of clearing a profit, much less a big one
Company having spent so much, has bigshots get involved to "ensure" project goes in correct direction

Witness the horrific recent D&D "RTS" game -- it had nothing to do with D&D. It was a Warcraft III clone, complete with hero units. There was no "rolling your own". There was no research on how to create fighters with 20 str instead of just 18 or 16. And what could be more un-D&D than the hero unit? Hero units are fine, if you like them, but that ain't D&D.
And as a generic, non-D&D game with D&D slapped on it, it wasn't all that and a bag of gnome chips.

You accept "the people" have the right to vote any law they want into existence because, hey, they're The People!

"The researchers also dispute the claim that Easter Island's human inhabitants were responsible for their own demise [...] Lipo thinks the story of Easter Island's civilization being responsible for its own demise might better reflect the psychological baggage of our own society than the archeological evidence.
'It fits our 20th century view of us as ecological monsters," Lipo said. "There's no doubt that we do terrible things ecologically, but we're passing that on to the past, which may not have actually been the case. To stick our plight onto them is unfair.'"

This is why Isaac Asimov used to say, "The god of the Bible couldn't possibly have created the Universe. He's far too small!"
You all are aware that, according to the Bible, you live inside a hollow shell of flat land and "firmament" above, holding the waters of chaos back, aren't you?
And that this, in turn, is a modified story wherein the god slays the great chaos dragon Leviathan and splits his body in half, creating the land and the firmament, right? But the editors removed references to the battle with Leviathan from Genesis, but, oopsie! forgot to remove them from the poetic psalms.
Ahhhh, who's listening. There's other Monday morning quarterbacking explanations that'll satisfy those who must continue to believe in unerring etc. etc. etc.

Yes, but human's ability to share and copy around music is just a few angstroms away from total virtual reality manipulation ability. They could swap and copy alboms in minutes, if not seconds.
The sheer ability absolutely dwarfs the '70's with cassette copying.
To look into the future a bit, imagine a teleportation/duplication type device. It's the difference between the current, "Well, you can go make or copy your own car" by getting out welding equipment, and pushing a button.
[b]We are at the button-push stage for music.[/b] That is the difference.

Sci-fi authors are decades ahead of ya already. Someone wrote a story a long time ago where all life on earth evolved when an alien spacecraft stopped by a barrene, lifeless planet, and let the doglike creature out for...a poop. Bacteria in the p00p took a foothold and started evolving.
Now wouldn't that be something! The ultimate slap in the face to the Bible thumpers. Not only are you evolved from simple organisms, you are essentially a doop00pchugger at heart.

I see no botting whatsoever because, if he were botting, he would not have had to click any buttons when he was leveling up the weapon skills.
Now one thing I would like to know is if he's using these keyboards to bind a single keystroke to invoke macros using the function and macro facility built into WoW. If so, then such macros should probably not be considered bots. I could, after all, easily have extra action bars to bind keys to and, from reading the article, it seems that he uses the extra keys on his keyboard for that purpose.
Now, not helping out lowbies is stupid because they're [unintelligible]. For a perfect example, say your raid guild needs another priest, but has plenty of teenage girls with makeup on their faces, so you, being one o' the girls, decide that you'll help level up a priest and present it as a gift to your guild. The guild could help you level up so the priest will be useable faster.
I have no problems with that, but I'm not sure what this has to do with the macroing problem I was discussing previously.
I once had a petulant board sysop here whack my karma down to -10 or -20 (it was pegged high at +50 at the time). I never did learn why. I took it as a challenge and clawed my way right back up.
