• In short, I think the answer to your question is virtual vanity.  When writing constructive remarks about a game (even if written with courtesy and respect), by default you will always face a contingent of players that get too defensive, even if you…

  in Why do some people on this site attack every post that isn't a glowing review of their favorite game Comment by IceTC February 2011
• Atlantica comes to mind right off the bat (Korean).  I left about a year ago so not sure how the pvp is now, but when I played, pk'ing was not an issue for me.  Fun game overall and top rated.

• I canceled my Aion sub a couple weeks ago.  Started launch day in Sept 2009.  I only have a few regrets as Aion is a well polished game and I had loads of fun overall.  It was a good MMO experience and a great beginner MMO for new peeps diving in. …

  in aion aion.. its kind of good now? Comment by IceTC February 2011
• Old school MMO players would know that any game that refuses to post an official release date in their FAQ means you can kiss the next several months of "release date hope" goodbye.  I think Nov/early Dec release is more realistic to get a holiday s…

  in Is the target release date still spring 2011? Comment by IceTC February 2011
• I've been hearing a lot of good things about this game lately, but when I viewed the youtube videos available, I was completely turned off.  Seemed slow, weak-moderate graphics, UI seemed a bit stale, pvp seemed button-mash looking. Can someone fill…

• I disagree that AoC is best looking MMO out there.  I think Aion wins that hands down, especially the intricate armor detail and special effects on certain rare armors.  I just canceled sub on Aion but I definitely had fun in my 1.5 years there, the…

  in Frustrated to no end! Comment by IceTC February 2011
• free2play.. I recently left Aion (played since day 1 launch around Sept 09) and had a blast.  One of the most beautifully designed and graphical games you will find today,  solid solo and group play, good balance in classes, crafting system is a bit…

  in Looking for long term subscription based MMO Comment by IceTC February 2011
• Since you mention good graphics and a good engine, you should definitely check Aion out.  Probably one of the best graphical MMO's out there, especially with character and gear models (with the wings, even more cool).   I personally just retired fro…

  in hi ppl im new and need some help! Comment by IceTC February 2011
• Voted no.  The ease of picking a character based on your suggestion would last a few minutes.  The turn-off in seeing tons of players that look just like yourself will last months or years. Character creation is the initial 'hook' that can get you i…

  in Character Models Comment by IceTC February 2011
• If you have a good system, may want to check out Aion.  They have been having lots of 2x experience to attract more players (and retain current), so grouping there will yield tons of experience in the instances they have.  Vintage setup usually.. ta…

  in best grouping MMO, where everything has not been made solo able? Comment by IceTC February 2011
• I personally think the foundation of the ultimate MMO has to have unlimited advancing.  It is the single most addictive element to know you can always make your character stronger. Over time, you also develop sentimental value with that character an…

  in What's the perfect Mmorpg looks like? Comment by IceTC July 2008
• The ultimate MMO is still waiting to be created.  In my view, a game needs addictive elements to become a superpower to take down the Warcraft monopoly.   These are some of my suggestions what I think the ultimate game would have: 1) Unlimited lev…

  in What are you looking for in an MMO(Poll) Comment by IceTC July 2008
• I have played about every RPG out there, so I will just list each aspect of a mmorpg and my winner of each: Quests - EQ - No pun intended but it truly was the pioneer of intricate and diverse quests, from quick ones to epic, from solo to group, it…

• SWG should be the biggest lesson to any online game maker... never never never cater to 6 year old kids. Every one of them were screaming and crying to be a jedi. The old SWG had character by making jedi's pretty rare, but when they succumbed to the…

  in Star Wars Galaxies: 5th Anniversary Comment by IceTC June 2008
• There is an attractive science fiction element about it that really can suck you in sometimes, but after a few tries in it I really became bored.  It needs more content.  If they allowed landing on various planets where you have a separate shooter g…

  in Honestly, how is EVE? Comment by IceTC June 2008
• Only a true NES player would remember this RPG.. the magic of scherezade, one of those 'sleeper' games that was a fantastic RPG.  After that Ultima 2 got me more hooked, then came text MUD gemstone 3 which I played for 7 years.  After that, the grap…

  in Which Game(s) Got You Started? Comment by IceTC June 2008
• I would hold on giving your $ back to Blizzard only because the game has really jumped the shark lately with its class imbalance (druids-warriors reign supreme) and the leveling from 60 to 70 takes quite a long time (unless your a hardcore player). …
