Hell, most of elite instances starting from level 52ish are actually hard.
So you have to be level 52 to get to the hard stuff?
EQ2 however points a gun to your head with a note attached to it: Group or die
Because hey there are no raids or craftskills or quests in EQ2. Not a single one, really take a look all those tradeskill instances are really places where you are forced to group. And Sony hates solo'ers thats why they are giving them even more content to show them how much they hate them.
Seriously though I think the big difference between someone who enjoys WoW and someone who enjoys EQ2 is what they enjoy in a game. I like EQ2 more, I loved EQ1 ya know what I like about EQ? I like leveling. I like having to kill hundreds of mobs to gain a level. I like going into a dungeon and working my way deep into it knowing that if I screw up I will be in for a major headache. As a young player of EQ1 I was deep into splitpaw and had my invis drop. I had to run all the way to the zone border hoping I could make it, my adrenolin was really pumping. If death would have been meaningless like in WoW or even EQ2 I would not have had nearly as much fun. I want to be able to walk into a new zone, and look around in fear not knowing if I am about to get womped by something huge.
I get the feeling people drawn to WoW are more interested in getting to the end of the game and striding godlike over all they survey. Don't get me wrong, that is a perfectly valid world view and is a reason why people like you and people like me (who like being overpowered by most NPC's) won't really ever see eye to eye.
As for the ages old soloing vs grouping, if you only want to solo go play on your Xbox. There needs to be places where you cannot go alone, or if you do go there alone, you are not going to be able to kill everything. This is not Doom, you are not strong enough to beat the end guy by yourself. This is a GOOD THING! Because if Vox can be soloed then what is the point of grouping at all?
True only 1.5 Million people died in the Crusades. However lets take a look at population densities 164 Million under Stalin's control compared to a total world population of around 220 million during the crusades, also take into account differences in technology and I think we will find plenty of blood at the hands of religion. And you can't really blame Communism for Stalin, he was just a nut case.
Anti-Christian agenda? I don't know about you but I am a Christian and I don't think there is an agenda against us. I think that there are people who are sick and tired of the extremist Christian who think that they alone hold the key to our salvation. I'm tired of being condemned for sinning. Not to get into philosophy but EVERYBODY sins. You, the pope, and me everyone sins. But guess what, if you would stop preaching hate for a moment and actually READ your bible you would learn that it is OK to sin. In fact by thinking that you are above sin you are actually sinning (pride is a sin for those of you keeping score at home). The _only_ way to be saved is through faith not through acts. So by pushing away people who sin in ways you are not comfortable with you are damning these people to hell. They need to be welcomed into the church so they may find faith and understand god forgives sins. So it doesn't matter if you think homosexuality is a sin or not, you still need to be kind and welcoming to people it is the Christian way, and I am sick and tired of hearing people shame the names of good Christian everywhere with their hatefull ways.

Then your not clicking banner ads on your own site, which is what we are talking about. If you have a google ads banner on your site you contractually agreed not to click it. If you do not then what are you clicking on anyway? If its the ads that appear when you do a google search then there is nothing wrong with it.
88 servers for 200,000 accounts. Thats 2272 accounts per server. Must be awfully lonley in Wow, unless the world is much much smaller than ever Everquest 1 before all of the expansions.
Good but age of country != age of comunications infrastructure. If the telephone had been invented 1000 years ago you would be right, but I'm afriad you are not.
Assume 4k blocks. I write 4k all in one block, now I need to read the other disks so I can computer the checksum to write to the lsast one. I only wrote 4k so I only have 4k in ram.
You are probably running fsck on all of the partitions after you reboot. Just hitting the reset button is an unclean shutdown. You could try dropping apache on it and write a quick cgi script to restart your daemons.
So you reboot during 10% to 5% of your windows XP sessions (I am assuming that you only use it on a working day and call a session one full day of work).
Case and point: Name the last 3 tropical cyclones that Mexico and the rest of Central America have had to deal with. You can't can you, without looking it up. And they are our neighbors.
Because after all the names of cyclones is important:).
The real problem is there is profit in our isolation. Ignorant people can be controlled. Look at our school systems. 12 years of teaching and you can't immediately tell me where Djibouti is.
However it is your responsibility to make sure your car does not fall apart on the road, so you hire people to take care of it. Same thing should be done with home pc's.

Your annoyed that a MMOFPS is PVP only... I know it was probably only a pro-WoW troll but still the games aren't even in the same genre.
Except they don't keep personally identifiable information, just raw search terms.
Because they run in kernel space?

And what has the war in Iraq done to oil prices? They seem to be up for me. The US doesn't want Iraqi oil. Supply and demand.
Actually the whole point is burning H2 does not release any C02... 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O.

Which is exactly why the code is being retired :).

Can you give me one reason gay marrige or even polygamy is bad? Other than it is ucky or against your religion?
I don't think we need to worry about polygamy any time soon. Its hard enough keeping up with one wife...
Actually... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_ele ction,_1992
Clinton 44,908,254 votes
Bush Sr. 39,102,343 votes
but nice try anyway.
Except of course he lost the popular vote. Down with the electoral college!
So you reboot during 10% to 5% of your windows XP sessions (I am assuming that you only use it on a working day and call a session one full day of work).
So the average of 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,3 is 2? or is it (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+3)/8 = 1.25 Someone needs to retake math.
However it is your responsibility to make sure your car does not fall apart on the road, so you hire people to take care of it. Same thing should be done with home pc's.
Thanks a ton! Woot Gmail here I come.
