I've backed several things through Kickstarter, but MMO-wise, the list is short:
Repopulation
Camelot Unchained
Star Citizen
I absolutely love Kickstarter. For many years prior to KS becoming so popular, I felt as though shouting into the wind my d…
I very explicitly do NOT trust and will never subject myself to NCSoft ever again. Learned my lesson the hard way a couple of times, and I'm not interested in being abused again. That's the only one I'll go out of my way to avoid... though EA does m…
I began my MMO journeys with the launch of EQ1. For a long time, I had just one character. (Well, plus a bank alt, but she was never actually played.) Eventually, I had 2 alts. One was created as an 'escape' from my main, who was guildleader of a to…
Kickstarter, to me, is in a lot of ways exactly what I have been hoping for for years.
For so long now, I've felt that all I was doing was shouting into the wind my hopes & wishes for games, because the things I wanted weren't deemed 'money …
I lean more towards sandbox than themepark, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a good themepark. I like to have elements of both, if possible. Or a sandbox that has little themeparks scattered about throughout it.
While I absolutely LOVE a good…
At 40, it's pretty much the same as it's always been, I guess. I've never been much of a fan of high speed twitch combat. Now, if you're simply using 'twitch' to mean 'player must react to something', then it varies. I kinda like to have some of th…
wolfneo:
1. You'd have to ask NCSoft that question, but they have absolutely refused to give any answer aside from 'realignment of company focus'. They wanted it dead for reasons they are loathe to give.
2. NCSoft is very possessive of the IPs it …
I have always wanted them to implement player housing, but I never thought about returning to our starting apartment. I LOVE that idea! Whether it is just the kick off of another storyline, or whether it actually has some basis in a future player ho…
Auto-magic 'group finders' (more like: 'group creators') fill me with so much hate. But I will attempt to avoid a pure rant, and instead discuss the LFG system as a whole.
I don't have anything against a good player-driven LFG system. My favorit…

I hate the conspiracies, lying, swindling, griefing, pirating, and all the other 'lovely' stuff that brings out th…
I hate EVE. Utterly despise it.
I spent 2 months years ago desperately trying to enjoy it, because I was sick of fantasy. I wanted sci-fi. A friend was playing EVE and loved it, so I went out of my way to try to find something to love in this game.…
I won't be arguing 'superiority', as I have zero interest in playing GW2 so I have no standing for comparisons. I play TSW and occasionally Vanguard , and would be playing City of Heroes if NCSoft wouldn't have decided to slaughter it for no reason.…

It was about working your way up, starting out as nothing and making something of yourself. Now, MMOs are a reflection of modern western society where people feel entitled to everything. Like somehow they deserve th…
Very, very roughly in this order, and I am not saying these are the best, but they are my personal best:
City of Heroes (The only game I've been playing since it was in beta. I have SO MUCH HATE for NCSoft shutting it down even though it was still…
Seriphin: It might not help the auto-fillin, but at least you can control the results you get. When I'm attempting to research without being spoiled I put negatives in my search. Usually ( -quest ) or ( -"secret world" ) after whatever word/phrase I…
Well, this is not exactly 'I wanna be Uncle Owen!', but I like starting off as a NON-hero. Starting off, mind you. I want to grow in power (levels, skills, whatever) and do great (or horrible) deeds. I then want the world to react as such. I don't …
I have poor health. Not of the kind that is likely to lead to my early death, but of a kind that does keep me more or less house-bound. The internet IS my main social interaction, and I am very, very grateful to be alive in a time when I have the ch…

I've been playing DDO for a little while (since a couple of months prior to it going F2P), and I really like their loot system there.
Gear only drops in chests. When you click on/open the chest, any items that would appear for you then appear with…
I will definitely agree with the game needing a more advanced tutorial of some sort. Having all the players descend into Stormreach without even knowing how to use the social panel to form or join groups and instead spamming General Chat is one of t…
