One of the main reasons why I will never play WOW.

KristallNacht wrote:Hell, despite WoW being all about 'War's and shit, EVE still boasts the record for longest virtual war and largest virtual war.

The Great Northern War between the RedSwarm Alliance and Band of Brothers consumed over half the galaxy, lasted 2 1/2 years and affected over 250,000 players directly.

That's because WoW doesn't focus on World PvP

it uses battlegrounds (they're alright) and arenas (which are shit imo)

mostly it's a PvE game though


BUT sometimes people do go forth and attack enemy cities, and that's always fun when it happens







and anyways, the only reason why WoW will be better than any other MMO is that there is



















the Ashbringer...

I just don't see the appeal in an MMO.

I play it casually... as long as you don't let it consume your life then it is a fun game... 97% of people who play the game are just normal folks who pop in for a few hours a week and do a few quests... its only a very small percentage who get sucked in past the PONR where they freak out if they can't play.

and face it ALL videogames have obsessive people who play them... remember that kid who ran away and died because his CoD4 was taken away?

and do I even need to mention south korea and starcraft?

same i have a n active account and havent played in about 4 days i am no where close to obbssessed and it is not unhealthy if you are the type of person where it becomes unhealthy dont play


i am very excited about swtor and will try and sell my wow account close to when it comes out

I didnt have high hopes for swtor until I saw the decieved trailer. Now I'm hoping it can be as good as LOTRO.

as good as lotro

its made by bioware they dont make shit
get that in your mind


it will be awesome


btw did anyone see one of the interviews where he was saying making a story line

then says

" and making hundreds of hours of gameplay and variations depending on light or dark for each class is taking a long time"

God I swear after seeing that trailer I feel like I'm going to be let down. but then again it is Bioware, so it stands a chance.

The GoonSwarms logo is a bee in a military helmet, since the philosophy of the group is to fight against the people just going through the motions in the world. Just mining all day, just doing PvE all day, all the carebears really. Basically comparing those individuals to bees in a hive that live but are never alive.

So GoonSwarm actually does things to purposefully disrupt the carebear industries. Like smart bombing mining (and hi security) areas to destroy mining vessels.

Basically that video is 'propaganda' for GS and GF

Stands a chance of more securom protection? HA HA!

So they derive their fun by going out of their way to piss other players off? Sounds very nice of them.

Its more because EVE online is taken fairly seriously by its players, so they are easier to annoy than most.

their is more philosophy to it.

Plus in EVE, its not griefing since CCP totally supports it. The only thing that the game allows that CCP doesn't like is people truly Macro mining.

Nothing about the ambushes, assassinations, baiting, smartbombing, or pyramid schemes.

Macro mining?

People who aren't actually 'there' as in at their computer. They are like bots in any other mmorpg, but the awesome thing about eve is you can really go all vigilante on them in style.

no Macro mining isn't that, Macro mining is about having a specific group of players absorb entire systems' asteroids in a short period.

in this case Macro = large, not macro = automated keystrokes

Got me there; well I always found the miners damn annoying anyway... f****** price crashes on rare minerals...

haha


another reason WoW is better.


a real world economy.
