The game is poorly designed, poorly programmed and intended to be poorly played. The quests are a joke and the most repetitive, boring and unimaginative I have seen in any game to date. SOE has one thing on their minds and its not good game play but rather how fast they can milk the public for a game that should have been scrapped long ago. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this stinker.
I would love to know where the patriot act is now when it's a big company committing acts like this. Had this been an individual someone would be in jail!
It sickens me to see the morally ignorant champion the cause of the unjust and wicked. It seems that the younger generation lacks any back bone at all for what's good and correct in the world. More and more often I see a sub 30s something argue in favor of stealing, cheating, lying and even murder. This is downfall of our modern society and the doom of our future unless we that know what is good and just stand and fight for those things we know to be correct.
This is more than simply an Xbox that over heats this is about a company that knowingly has stolen from the public more than once and continues to do so as a business model. Microsoft was well aware that the Xbox was prone to overheating I assure you. They may not have found out till close to the release date and decided to roll the dice that more consumers would simply roll over and take the inferior and broken product rather than protest it. It would have cost MS far more to simply correct the problem and delay release than to see how many would actually return the ill designed units for repairs. Law suits sadly are the only way to force large companies to do what is right since they refuse to do it on their own so file away and let them suffer the pains of lost profits until they learn the lesson of honest business practices and good customer relations. For those that continue to argue in favor of the theft of my hard earned money I say shame on you.
Bye bye dreamweaver. Never liked you much anyway! Go-live is much easier to design with, fewer steps and much less junk code./silly off
Seriously, this really is bad for all since lack of competition among the top two means less innovation, higher prices and less money in our wallets.
Sadly friend big business has taught the public time and time again that ethics and business are not included in the same sentence therefore it was not a troll but an educated response to stimuli!
At the rate at which we are currently overpopulating the earth and draining her resources this could cause problems beyond conception. The shortage of food, natural resources, health care, housing, just to name a few of the most obvious.
This is simply the Sony Business model

Bad Day To Be Sony

This type of tactic that was used with this virus ware is nothing new for Sony. It wasn't a simple mistake or an accident or simple bad judgment. Sony has a long history of this type of strong arm tactics in almost every branch of the company. Another example in particular is the SOE entertainment branch that runs Everquest and Everquest 2. Throughout the game of Everquest Sony placed spyware on machines in a form that captured user specifics about their computers, connections, and names, credit card information and other personal data. When confronted about this collection of information on the Everquest players they quickly turned tail and ran into the legal jungle of vague response and said it was needed to properly manage the game environment and accounts. This of course was complete garbage. It was a campaign to collect, sell and profit from this data. To this day that data collection continues according to the very EULA they force you to agree too in order to play any of the games they now operate. Not only did Sony collect data and lie about its purpose but they also actively engaged tactics to force players into huge fees to simply be able to allow the players to be able to sell the very software they had already purchased.
This is just one of more then 20 easy to find examples of Sony's business model that exploits abuses and damages the public's security, welfare and privacy.
It's not bashing to make a simple statement concerning the degrading freedoms and rights of Americans.
Lofty words don't make you intelligent. They make you unable to make a point efficiently.
Congratulations, you are the biggest ignorant idiot that has ever responded to one of my post. Do try and get some basics of education before you respond to matters of which you lack anything in the way of knowledge of.
My original post wasn't an enforcement of theology but rather a statement about the tunnel vision of the scientific community and the fact many in that community can't seem to think before they act in matters that have extreme consequences for all of mankind. Often it is forgotten that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
I have earned the right to make this statement due to being part of that community for over twenty years and having seen more than a few experiments that served no purpose for the advancement of mankind or the understanding of the world in which we live.
Here is but one set of examples:

The only problem is we aren't intelligent enough to know not to create life from scratch at this point. All we need is a super predator evolving from a vile of ooze.
Every time we play god we end up getting shown just how little we really know about what we are doing as a species. No, I'm not trolling, just an observation of historical facts to this point.
If that's what you think you might want to do a little bit of research first before you think. Less than half of the U.S. population is on the coastal areas and that number is shrinking the last few years according to the U.S. census.
By all means, split the net and block the idiots from all U.S. servers.
It would mean less spam from china pretending to be ebay, palpal wanting me to VERIFY my passwords..
It would mean fewer french speaking pricks tking in the online games...oh and less lag from the idiots that link up with a 500+ ping.
Yes i am being childish, but far less childish then these EU jerk offs..screw em!/sarchasm off
Whoever the dumbass's are that rated this troll should have your nuts cut and your head examined.
It is a simple fact that it killed 50 million without the ability to travel quickly and at present could spread the world in a matter of days and kill a billion easily with nothing more than a simple mutation that is not unheard of for a bug of this type to do.
They never consider if they should do something only if they can do it. This bug could end life on the planet Earth for man if it were to escape during this time of frequent flights and fast travel.

Well I guess they now know what the old saying "Don't bite that hand that feeds you" means.
So now Opera is threatening to shame its users in to staying with them?... *gasp* Friends don't let friends use Opera! http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

What's really shocking is that you have the folly to say porn site and ethics in the same sentence.
Sadly friend big business has taught the public time and time again that ethics and business are not included in the same sentence therefore it was not a troll but an educated response to stimuli!

When was it that a legitimate complaint became whining? Those that keep their mouths shut get run over, used and abused.

Welcome to Amerika, please surrender your rights here!
Might as well launch it to the moon since I won't be allowing anything of this type on my system. I'll be damned if I will pay for a subscrition OS.
Nothing like technology over intelligence...LOL

It's pretty simple, bugs have a way of mutating in the damnest ways.
They never consider if they should do something only if they can do it. This bug could end life on the planet Earth for man if it were to escape during this time of frequent flights and fast travel.
The site looks as if it was created by 5 yr olds... my email address..i dont think so. I have enough spam.
