No, forget Guild Wars, you need to do a lot of PvE to get a good PvP char. Vendetta Online is what you want. There is no die rolling, it's all twitch combat.
Unless a research team has developed an AI that can DM as well as a human, this may be D&D in name but not in spirit. The main thing I like about D&D is being able to be creative. For example, are all of the ways a flask of oil can be used going to be programmed into the system? I doubt it. Unless Atari and Turbine are planning on hiring hundreds of DMs to run this world, this is going to be faux D&D.

How is it ignoring the encapsulation? The value of the private variable is not returned. All this affects is ease of debugging.
True, but that option is not shown on the registration forms. One would have to have used a Mac before to figure it out.
The reason the computer is running Netscape is to show how bloated it is. Look at the output of `top`. 53 %CPU!
All this reminds me of the spam/counter-spam tactics of usenet. Is the web going to have the same fate?
Yeah! My company does the webpage for Star Blazers.
