I, personally, am sick of the dissapointments that are the overhyped games of the present. I had a discussion with a friend, in which he said that he preferred 2D style for MMORPGs. I said that a 3D world is more immersive and offers a lot of potential, but few companies have utilized that potential to its fullest extent.
We bickered for a while, as opinionated gamers often do, until he realized that he basically agreed with me; the reason he preferred 2D was that he couldn't find a 3D game that was as high quality as some games like Nexus.
Nexus isn't very pretty(AT ALL. Massive amount of screenshots here.), so if graphics is one of your top needs in a game, it's not for you. BUT, it's well managed. The economy is perfectly balanced, the community is excellent, and the game is fun. Player and dev run events like carnages(deathmatches), elixir wars(capture the flag with bow and arrow), foxhunts(surround the fox on horseback), and a lot more, plus a huge cultural element including fanfiction, poetry and improv.
Nexus is probably one of the best MMORPGs out there; it's been around for awhile, but too few people have heard of it.
As an utterly stereotypical teenager, music plays a heavy role in my life. Does music have any influence in your work? Do you find it distracting or does it increase productivity?

There's one thing that you can say in any time period and ruffle some feathers, get fired, beaten, or killed:
"You're wrong."
Remember?
I still play it!
I don't really mind being corrupted absolutly. In fact, I downright enjoy it.
I hope this gets released to the public.
Irony of ironies that a microsoft system could help people take over the world.

I, for one, am all for sweet, sweet simplicity.
