    > Most people from Iran I know don't

    Being a Christian gets you into jail in Saudi Arabia. I would not be surprised if Bibles were forbidden in Iran.

    Also I dont believe that criticism of Islam and Mohammed would be accepted in Iran or any other muslim country.

    News blogs are the main source of news for me.

    I am currently interested in youth street crime

  22. Re:It's got no niche. on MMO Gaming Expansions Released, Announced · · Score: 1

    Arg this post is incorrect...

    > 64 players on a single server,
    > and the netcode is good enough

    PlanetSide has excellent netcode and
    battles of up to 500 players on the same map.
    Due to the recent expansion I see two
    full (population locked) maps every evening.

    > $13 a month to a gamer who can buy Battlefield
    > Vietnam once and play on packed servers for free

    PlanetSide gives you:
    - daily forum discussions with developers often even on sundays
    - good servers
    - a redefinition of "packed"
    - regular updates
    for $0,50 a day.

    > there's no long term goals, no "loot"

    If a player dies his backpack remains which you can loot.

    If you want to level forever and gain
    superpowers than this is not your game.
    If your goal is to improve your leadership, teamplay or tactics it is.

    > no personalization of player stats...

    Which weapons and vehicles you can use
    depends on how you spend your certification
    points. Fully levelled players can spend
    23 points, but getting everything costs about 60.

    Playerstats are visible on the website.

    > There's no role-playing aspect whatsoever,

    Still there are dedicated snipers, tank drivers,
    galaxy pilots, squad leaders and commanders, to
    name a few roles.

    There are different kinds of bases that
    have different kind of benefits.

    Tech Plants give access to medium tanks
    and ground attack aircraft. If the enemy
    has captured or disabled your techplants
    than you are screwed.

    Interlink facilities enhance your radar,
    bio centers decrease time to spawn and so on.

  24. Re:Planetside: Aftershock on MMO Gaming Expansions Released, Announced · · Score: 1

    PlanetSide is updated twice a month. This time 9 MechWarriors are added to the game and this is marketed as an expansion. This is a huge update so it can be called an expansion. Before their were tanks, aircraft, infantry and mini-mechs. MechWarriors fill their own role in the rock-paper-scyssor aspect. If tanks are cavalry than MechWarriors are elephant archers.
