You don't pull a gun on someone unless you mean to kill them.
Once you've shot and killed a man, in the back or in the face, you've made whatever statement you wished to make with absolute clarity and coherence. In essence, the next move is up to him.
I will start this out by saying that if any blizzard fanbois respond to this with a flame...you're just trolling and are even more out of line than you consider me to be.
I will save the whole "my history in mmo's" speech and instead cut to the chase...
I bought WoW about 3 weeks after release expecting to find a game that does what it says: caters to the hardcore and casual gamers equally. I played WoW for about 2 months only to find out that this game caters to one kind of player: non-mmo vets looking to get their feet wet in the genre. Don't argue it...it's dead on spot true.
When I first started playing I noticed how this game had phenomenal graphics (anyone who says otherwise is on crack or blind), awesome characters, an immersive world, and many many many different ways to customize your characters skill/abils as well as equipment.
However, as time marched on I made the following realization about WoW: If I play more than a few hours a day I can ding lvl 60 with virtually NO hold ups. I never have to unlock any zones, never have to do anything in any order.....hell, I don't even have to do a quest to hit the cap. That's not an MMO, that's some kind of RPG/Action hybrid aimed at appealing to what is in fact the average wow gamer: a high school kid who loves the idea of playing an mmo, rotting on the forums etc...but has never succeeded at one before. WoW takes your fifteen bucks and then hands you the key to instant uberness. When I stand around in IronForge I see DOZENS upon DOZENS of people running around at the cap, pissing and moaning about the game being to easy and that they have nothing left to do except retreat old ground. This has got be the first MMO that hit this state in less than 3 months.
Added, that for a game that boasts PVP and BG content as it's selling points, and as the main things that make it "better" than other mmo's, there's really nothing in the way of purposeful pvp and BG's are probably another 6 months away. And 6 months is realistic....blizz has recently stated that they plan on releasing the first expansion roughly 12 months after release. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say they release it on time...which would be a first for the genre. That's another 9 months out. Ironically...this week blizz has stated that they feel it would be in the game's best interests to hold out BG until that expansion. So, as you see, my stating of 6 months for battlegrounds isn't even realistic, that's how hopeful it is. 9-12 months is much more realistic. Imagine if this is the way it really pans out...there will be half a million lvl 60's with nothing to do, and nothing to make the GREAT and HARDCORE players stand out in any way shape or form. That's not an MMO.
I understand that you'll point to sales numbers and tell me how wonderful wow is doing...the bottom line is this: It's selling at the rate it is b/c of it's mass appeal. It does something other mmo's have never done, and for the purpose of not ruining the genre like every other gaming genre has had happen to it. It appeals to gamers who really don't belong on an MMO. They want instant gratification, instant uberness, and instant action. Problem with that approach is it always will equal instant burnout within weeks, and at best months.
Purpose of this thread is not to bash wow....to be honest, a part of me is asking for advice on why wow is worth it long term. I own and subscribe to both wow and EQ2 and as of now, I give 100 percent of my time to EQ2 because of the following reasons: I know, that no matter how good I get, or no matter how much progress I make any night...I'm just scratching the surface...no matter WHAT I do. There are so many enemies and so many "goals" that people won't even come across for another two years, that I truly feel that I'm one character, in a whole world of heroes. Also...in EQ2, EVERY (and I mean EVERY) single thing that you do is recorded on the web as YOUR achievement and then ranks you against all those on your server, as well as all those in th
Every fucking MMORPG article you're there. Bleating on about your vaporware piece of shit TOY game. Hey look everybody. Roma Victoria has got a revenue model just like what's being discussed. Hey look! Roma Vaginitus has PvP Battlefields just like World of Warcraft! HEY LOOK AT MY GAME! WOOOOOOOOOOO!
Like, what were the Romans famous for? I'll tell you... SODOMY! They were up each others asses all the fucking time. Is that going to be in the game? Anal fisting too? I've jacked off to Caligula so I know what that shit's all about. You like all that fucking orgy cockplay, don't you?
Long story short, michael was canned for his abusive and egotistical personality.
Rob's been building a list of complaints by users about michael's abusive patterns but he never acted on it. Well, michael managed to bitchslap one of Rob's old college buddies' accounts along with a couple of paid accounts, word eventually filtered down to Rob, and he had kittens. He convinced michael's OSTG manager to track him down and drag him into a conference call.
Rob laid down the law and started reading off complaints and michael raised his voice, saying that if Rob had a personal problem with him that he didn't need to go over his head and involve his manager in it.
During the shouting match, michael's editor flag was revoked. He was in the admin area at the time and he noticed.
At this point he went totally ballistic and started screaming about how this was why he moved, to get away from "arrogant elitist bullshit". (this is a direct quote.. michael actually did move from New York to Canada to protest George W. Bush's inauguration in 2001. Andover kept him on since it was only an all-remote job anyway.)
michael's manager ducked out of the call to page (read: wake up) Hemos (overseas on business) to three-way him into the call, to try and calm everyone down.
There was some more shouting, and michael's manager told him that things aren't working out well, and that he's going to recommend that his employment be terminated.
michael just hung up, and that was the end of the call as well as michael's employment with OSTG.
And in the style of the erstwhile Mister Sims, I shall now include my own commentary while pretending it's part of the article.
Good Fucking Riddance! Now let's hope he doesn't try to hijack the slashdot domain.
For example, if I were to say that niggers were subhuman lazy animals who'd only pick cotton if you told them it was a White Man's property, then this posting would get moderated down DESPITE already being at -1.
Also, while I'm here, islam is the only form of child abuse that is legal to practise in the US. And yet the ragheads STILL want to kill whitey.
And women, dyslexics and quadraplegics are equally worthless. Kill them all. Save the cunts, obviously, for sex purposes.
I'm fucking SICK of all these fucking fantasy fucking million gnome shitstabber cocksucking nigger games.
All the fucking same. Oh look, you can be a fucking elf or a fucking dwarf. But most people go for being a fucking human.
Here's a fucking good idea for a fucking good MMORPG! How about everyone being fucking blobs of fucking protoplasm, oozing around the fucking galaxy. There's an original idea for you Open Sores cunts.
But no, you want to rip off Everquest. You know. The game that MADE MONEY SO IT MUST BE EVIL. Fucking Worldforge homosexual jihad-monkeys! Haven't you got a fucking Jihad Joe doll to decapitate or something?
Where's the Open Source games? Everyone knows Worldforge is infinitely better than Everquest 2 AND World of Warcraft combined.
It's only an amount of time when such classic Worldforge spinoffs like Archipelago deserve their own respect from the realm of sequential graphic media.
After all, with WoW-beating graphics like these, surely there's a 'raft' (pun intended) of opportunities for quality comic art.

I've seen the website, and this asswipe is CLEARLY trying to cash in on the Game brand to make a fast buck.
It's not Your Rights Online or any of that shit. It's misrepresentation, pure and simple.
Let him burn.

Ganking is never accomplished by a player with an external penis.

Simple solution:

Where's the Open Source games? Everyone knows Worldforge is infinitely better than Everquest 2 AND World of Warcraft combined.
It's only an amount of time when such classic Worldforge spinoffs like Archipelago

No-one buys PC Games unless they're forced to. That's why Slashdotters hate the XBox so much.
Although let's face it, they really hate the XBox because playing on Live reveals their speech impediments and mouth-breathing to everyone.
Filthy fucking animals only complain because their DVD players are used to play the pirated discs they hawk at their fucking street markets.
Then they go off to boil a rat and eat it, AT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER'S EXPENSE!
Nuke the whole fucking lot of them.
Reptiles have slitty eyes
Gooks have slitty eyes
To paraphrase one of the greatest Caucasians who ever lived; 'nuff said!
That kids game looks just like World of Warcraft!
FIST SPORT!
Guess the check from the publishers cleared.
Nice to see PA are getting fucking sick of World of Waah-craft, like the rest of us heterosexuals.
Actually, you'll find that the nigger gene is the #1 cause of criminal behavior.
If you look back at a 'white' criminal's family tree, you're bound to find a jigaboo in there.
I've bought myself a new Plasma Screen TV, a big bundle of DVDs, and I'm letting the fucking gooks starve!
I want to put my pee-pee in your poo-poo hole.
