Your solution here doesn't really offer anything better than the current grinding systems. In fact, it makes it even more frustrating.
You move the end-of-battle award to mid-battle and for some classes, you would reward them based on the play of others?
To take one of your examples: A healer gaining XP based on the party members health. So, the goal here would be to consistently let your party get as low on health as possible before healing them? And you would penalize them for keeping everyone full up? I can't think of a single worse reward mechanism for healers.
IANAL, but I can't see where rattling your saber at a couple of big dogs while suing the small fish isn't begging to have some timely amicus briefs filed by the opposition.
I'm pretty sure that's why the more successful patent trolls get a bunch of smaller cases on the books as precedent before going after the guys with real money.
I'm an active WoW player and am on the fence on picking up WAR. A lot of people I play WoW with are in the same boat.
The problem is this: We like raiding.
We may also like PvP. Several of us have 3 regular arena teams and are in full S4. But, still, we like raiding.
Now, everything I read on WAR trumpets the virtues of their PvP and RvR system while promising us that there is some sort of mythical PvE endgame without really describing it.
In short, can anyone confirm that there is a PvE endgame where you group up with X friends and fight tough bosses (where X >= the number of fingers you possess)?
Two different sites with "Tech" in the name and the Slashdot readership haven't managed to figure out this trickery yet.
There are no magic 404s here.
When you set up your DNS with Network Solutions, a wildcard DNS entry is created. It defaults to an ad page (just like every other DNS record with them does).
At that point you have 2 options:
Opt out - Any of your DNS records pointing to the ad page will go to a non-ad "Under Construction" page
Assign your wildcard record somewhere - Like you should have been doing in the first damn place. "Lern2DNS nub."
While it might not be the most feel-good thing Network Solutions could do with your DNS, don't attribute to their malice what is easily attributed to user laziness.

The most dramatic information can be seen on the mid-range chart. The cyan, triangled line that represents Everquest made my jaw drop.
Actually, when you sum the users from EQ and EQ2, you get a drop that isn't quite as steep. EQ definitely suffers from competing with its own sequel in addition to other new games.
The suit is being filed against one of the Site Admins (who partially got his admin status due to his consistency on posting spoilers). The site owner is not the target of the suit.
Yes, they mentioned this scam via a link to the same website that you have listed.
I missed that the first time. Mayhaps their web designer can lay off on some of the aesthetics for a little more ease of use. The partially underlined links don't stand out all that well.
This is the same game where one of the best examples of trust betrayed in an online world can be found. The below story is well worth the read and has been cited numerous times as an example of the risk inherent in an online world. The Big Scam
Almost a year ago, I helped found the largest and strongest economic special interest group in World of Warcraft. We have representatives on nearly every server and constantly monitor and share information on WoW's economy.
It's no secret to us that "gold farmers" are the dominant force in the WoW economy. Several of our key discoveries in the game have come from watching the habits and patterns of gold farmers across server lines. When a patch changes an aspect of the game relating to the economy, the gold farmers are quick to react.
I'm glad to see Blizzard cracking down on this, although it seems to be directly related to their new "anti-virus and anti-hack" portal system, causing me to think its less about the real "gold farmers" and more about little Timmy trying out a program his friend gave him to run a little faster (a.k.a. Speedhacks.

The Discovery Channel had a wonderful show on last season about these very crabs called The Deadliest Catch. It was definitely worth watching.
I was somewhat interested in the game until I read this. The bad taste in my mouth has always prevented me from picking up a copy.
Actually, when you sum the users from EQ and EQ2, you get a drop that isn't quite as steep. EQ definitely suffers from competing with its own sequel in addition to other new games.
It's difficult to imagine, say, EA or Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo bothering with this nonsense."
You mean like when Microsoft brought in the Laker Girls? Or when Sony got Denise Harris to dress up as that half-nekkid elf chick? Please.

You must be new here. With the amount of dupes we get I expect another story on that in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
