I''ve been playing video games as long as I can remember. Started with pong when I was maybe 7 or so and have been addicted to them ever since. Have seen them morph from very simple puzzles or tests in eye-hand coordination to the sometimes very complex strategic games of today and marvel at how far we have come and wonder just how much further we can go. I don''t have any favorite genre''s, I haved played just about everything and have enjoyed them all. I love to discuss video games and that''s why I''m here mostly. Just to talk with those that are interested in some of the same things as me. I also like to argue so I''ve been known to get into a discussion or 2. Don''t take it personally, I have done the same thing with friends and family. I don''t hold grudges and I try to stay above the belt with punches, but I will try to deck you. See you in the forums.

Actually the first smartphone was introduced in 1992, nearly 25 years ago. The tablet is even older. When do you think they first s…

I love how people take a simple exploit and make it sound like it's the end of the world as we know it.
Let's examine how "terrible" this really is.
1) It only effects 2 professions, mining and Herablism. I'm assuming that Herbalism is effect…

No, its not worth coming back to, unless you really enjoy dull, repetive and easy gameplay.
In that case scratch off just about every MMO developed in the last 5 years too which are even more dull, more repetitive a…

Hello.
I am likely to start playing WoW, but I need to clarify a lot of things beforehand:
A. Game economy
How is it built? Is it based on free-market concepts, as in I put up something for sale at a fixed p…
How long do you expect to play each day? 1-60 in a couple days sounds like you're gonna have to play more than a few hours a day. You gonna do this on a weekend?
OK, this whole thread is completely bogus. First off you cannot go beyond lvl 20 during the 10 day trial. It won't let you. When you hit 20 you can keep doing whatever you want, but you will get ZERO experience for anything. You can turn in ques…

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I feel I have to tell you that this is next to impossible to pull off for more than a few levels. I know because I've tried to do it on several occasions and I've tried to help others try to do it and they h…

Well I can maybe see a guild hall that only guild members can enter because they are doing a lot of work on guilds in general, but I doubt there will be player housing. Still a guild hall would be a bit of a compromise.
I don't think this news is surprising at all. In fact I'm shocked that more people aren't here saying he's lieing that they still have 11.5 million active subs. Many of the WoW haters say it's much much lower.
