I am a Christian Roleplayer who works in the computer/tech support industry. Although not big on that many games, I am highly analytical of games, and have a current addiction to Eve Online.
My first love was CoH, and I had quite a few level 50s. Then the ED nerf came out (around issue 7) and I left it for greener pastures.
After flitting about looking for my next addiction for six months or so, my wife recommended Eve Online as she …
ATITD is a nice P2P with some of the best crafting in the MMO industry, and a 24-hour (in-game time) trial to check it out. Wurm has a very limited F2P system with similar crafting, but items deteriorate at a tremendous rate.
Neither of these gam…
Of the games I've played, here's my list:
1) SWG, pre NGE - The crafting system is in-depth, but now that durability has been removed and bots roam the galaxy, it's become more mundane. Leave it to SOE to ruin a good thing.
2) Eve Online - ther…
I'm surprised that the expansion list didn't feature something a lot of people both who play the game and who do not: Eve Online: Incarna. Walking in Stations seems to be a wanted item by a lot of people.
I've played ATITD for a while, and while I love the crafting in it, there are many features which I don't like about it, with the main ones outlined below:
1) The amount of Bots and RMT allowed and even encouraged in the game. If you're looking f…
Yes, CCP wins it again for Innovation. Tyrranis wasn't really the main innovative point in the game, as PI is a horrible click-fest (thought that should change within the next few weeks).
What CCP did is really listened to the players for the…
Here's one: Which game gave you for Christmas a snowball launcher and a supply of snowballs that would melt if you kept them too long?
A: Eve Online. This practice was changed, as people would see the snowball launcher targeting them and going re…
I as well sometimes lament at the state of communities in the game, but that is where the money is going. There are still social MMOs out there, but they're very clique-ish.
ATITD is an example of a social game, where community involvement is…
I tried the WoW trial twice. Couldn't get into the game, as it doesn't seem to have any real depth to the mechanics, nor does it require much thought to play (yes, I heard about button sequences - that's not thought, that's repetition).
I fir…
The amount of threads which the program supports is a major factor in which CPU will run better. Most programs right now only support two cores, so getting a quad core has been shown to perform as well or sometimes even slower than a dual core (due…
I was in CSM 2, when they announced Project Unholy Rage and it filled me with hope. An industrialist by trade (who sometimes engages in PvP), the bots and macros have been a constant pain in my proverbial posterior.
I read the article, and it…
Kind of in the same sense as some of the previous posters, but I prefer games that make me think. Mindless killing gets boring real quick, as well as clickfests such as mining and related activities. Combat is good as a side-quest, but not if it i…
Despite a few problems, Eve Online seems to knock the competition out of the water in this one. It's true that WoW and CoH both put out major expansions, but for many reasons (community, support, fun, mixed activities, etc), I have to go with Eve.
I was going to say Eve, but TBH Tyrrannis was a pretty bad expansion. I hear they're fixing it now, but the expansion itself was pretty bad.
I went with CoX because, even though I don't play the game anymore, the moral system is really a breath o…
I can understand a lot of the viewpoints listed in this thread, and agree with many of them. As a representative in the CSM, I had a chance to talk to the developers, and I understand some of their grief.
One major problem CCP seems to have is ei…
If you're really serious about creating a new character, I have some advice for you (this is just minimaxing - there's no saying that a Minmatar couldn't crosstrain for these paths or such). For starters, you're looking at a choice between two race…
Good to hear you're getting your feet wet in the game. This game is of massive depth - much more than any other MMO out there.
You have done the starter missions, but if you need help, the bio for the character Bunyip will be of vast importance t…
I'm happy that they finally got the sov costs worked out to a reasonable level and are putting more effort into the Mothership changes. When it goes live, I'm gonna wait for all the contention to die down (as there will probably be a lot of manipul…
Good to have you back, Staat. I play the character in the game named Bunyip, a member of the Council of Stellar Management. I've been hearing a lot of good things from CCP for the future of the game, and can promise you that it's only going to get…
