Yeah, if I'm expected to sink 1 month of my life (real time, over the course of a year, to attain max level (I was slow)) into an MMO, you can bet your sweet bippy that I want to be looking at a fine ass for those many hours.
I keep seeing references to this, but I can't actually find it. You don't happen to have a link for this do you? I don't doubt you, it just sounds like it might be a hilarious commercial.
OK, fine. That's reasonable enough... but why not just limit server transfers to one cheap one every 6 months (or a year - what ever) and every one after that is expensive to discourage ninjaing? It would have the same effect, without raping me for what is effectively a "Copy - Paste" operation.
How small are you thinking of? According to the Wikipedia article they're defining it as anything "to mean payments too small to be affordably processed by credit card or other electronic transaction processing mechanism". Furthermore, below they refine it to often transactions below a dollar. THAT should include an iTunes purchase, no? That said, a character transfer in WoW is CLEARLY NOT a microtransaction (why they rape you like that for a transfer, I'll never know), so I agree with you there.:)
Pfft, BINARY? Back in my day we didn't have a full supply of 1's for every damn kid! We had to ration 'em out. Through most of school, I was coding with mostly 0's, 1's were few and far between (I remember getting a pack of 10 for christmas one year)! Now, get off my lawn!:)
Would people pay for a custom Warcraft controller? What would it look like and how could it be better? I don't know, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be better than a mouse & keyboard.
Sorry, my mistake. I was actually thinking Linux, it just didn't occur to me to mention it. Though I didn't know it worked on a Mac either, so thanks for the heads up!:)
With all due respect, I see the point you're trying to make (and in fact agree with regards to Billy West), but please PLEASE don't make it with Keanu "I know Kung Fu" Reeves.

I hope you're not being sarcastic, because that sounds like a perfectly legitimate point to me.

Damn you, Prod. WHY, WHY, WHY can't we get an Alpha Centuri 2?!? I had almost let it drift from my mind, and you had to bring it up. :)
Only five years ago, people would have laughed at the idea of music and video on computers
Wait... I CLEARLY remember watching porn on my PC in the 90's... And that had crappy porno music.... So.... WELCOME TO THE 90's!
I hesitate to ask, but what, exactly, is "Rape-Rape"? I pray it has no connection to Snu-Snu...
Sadly, that's the only reasonable answer. Doesn't mean I need think they're not dicks though. :)

Really? I haven't played for about a year or so, but I could have SWORN a name change had something like a $10 cost associated with it in WoW.

Least anyone get the wrong idea, Truecrypt IS Linux compatible. it's just not LUKS compatible.
I'm a tool and forgot the linky.
Yes. Yes they did.
Thank you for inadvertintly making me right. That so rarely happens to me. :)
Also, yay for learning something new!

Yes. Yes they would. Sadly, it's not exacally what you're suggesting. However, maybe this is?
Dude... sweet!
This was the closest I could find.

YEAH!
Electricity, maybe? Or is that a flat fee too? Or would the monitor be left on anyway?
AOL used to require Windows to use their dialup. Maybe they still do, I donno. Not QUITE the same, but close.
Touché. Or, given the subject matter, Tushie. :)

Not in Brattleboro Vermont, my friend.
