  • Off the top of my head, there's more GLBT guilds than you can shake a stick at in COX, I think mostly on Pinnacle? There's several in WOW, I was part of Spectrum Rage on Garona who are very nice and have a matching chapter on each side of the server…

  • What happens though if 22K people play on Tuesday and an entirely different group of 22K play on Wednesday. You just ignored 22K people.

    That's part of the other 80% You can't actually count everyone, but having looked at several…

  • The 20% thing has been pretty well proven out over time. It goes back to EQ1 when they showed server numbers, it pretty well matched DAOC and FFXI's numbers as well. Maybe for LOTRO it's 15% maybe it's 25%, but it's been pretty consistent over time …
  • LOTRO has that nice social panel that lets you count characters. Very handy. Roughly 20% of a game's population will be on during normal prime times. So multiply the number you count by the number of servers and multiply by five. I'll save you cou…
  • LOTRO has some major problems with questing. The quests are amazingly interesting in terms of storyline, but it's either long strings o linear quest instances or mind numbing soloing. The problem is that helping people in the game gets you nowhere, …
  • I think of it as MMO Diablo mixed with an RTS rather than a normal game. It's different, which is sort of a first.
  • It's really not a very social game. That would be my biggest complaint about it.
  • I'm not sure why they thought changing the skill names was a good idea. In addition to messing up the database, it also makes it really hard to find information on them because most of it is written about the original versions.
  • They did a really amazing job. I don't know how far into the game the translation goes, but the St. Maria and Robe are completely cleaned up. The language flows right, there are no typos, the line spacing is correct, the icons have been replaced by …
  • Let me guess, you haven't played the game since release? Cause all that stuff was fixed.
  • The key for the UPC/RNPC will come in the retail box. Each retail box has one special character inside, which one depends on where you order it from. According to Meli, you can also buy multiple boxes and add the codes to get more months of play and…
  • I really don't know how you would do wasd with the game. I really don't. I know it will kill western subs because people are conservative and can't adapt to change. But I really don't see how wasd would work.
  • Doesn't everyone have p2p + cash shop except the Japanese though?
  • Baron Servers have open pk above level 60. Non-Baron servers have consentual PVP (faction, guild, and colony wars). They haven't announced what's what for final release.

  • Supposedly the city of Rob is going in this week. The St Maria should be in now, but it still has some typos. I think most of what's in the game is machine translated and they're going through and rewriting it into standard English.
  • If you reads the forum, the translations in the game now are placeholders. They're done by computer or something and aren't permanent at all. They're currently putting in new text and asking for people to proof it. The only parts that are new are th…
  • Level 20 is really nothing more than a trial. I honestly wish more companies would do what Puzzle Pirates has done and offer subscription and RMT servers. It works out very well for them.

  • I'm really enjoying the game. The key to that is completely logging out of the typical expectations for a MMPORPG and taking the game for what it is. I enjoyed the "hero" character additions in Guild Wars and this just takes it one level further …
  • Well there's a column on the server select screen with an option for pvp or non-pvp, that's probably kind of a hint. Lineage 1 has a non-PVP server. Of course guild wars and sieges are still there. Just no random pk'ing. To be honest, there's not …
  • Hmm... I didn't like Shadowlands very much. But I restarted AO last night and there are so many people in West Athens it was making my Radeon 9800pro lag. If that's a ghosttown, I guess there's a lot of ecoplasmic subscription money flowing to Nor…
