Dear Sifo,

[Ossot]

A long time ago we argued about microtransactions versus subscription based mmos. When WoW introduced MTs, i ignored it, as it was still p2p.

Buuut.. i think it's time to say.. i told you so

[ZoSo]

interesting..

[Sifo]

F2P is what happens when an mmo is a failure... also,

Extended is an optional service that is not associated with your current EQII live game play experience.

It is basically a POS down rezzed browser game that has nothing to do with the regular EQ2 game. This is quite a joke if you ask me - they were too lazy to actually create something new. This is a new low for SOE.

I'm not sure what you told me so about? I don't think that I ever disputed that MTs will be used more and more in the future... the bone I have to pick is that MTs make gameplay shitty by milking you of your money for features that should be standard. There is nothing free about free to play.

Was somewhat just bait for my lost love who I hope is still hiding out there somewhere.

[Happy]

I guess you mean Maggon.

[Clone]

No his lost love is Vern.

[Nihlathak]

Ossot come play SWG with us mother fucker.

[Ossot]

Clone is correct.

And nihl, I loved me some SWG. I just dont feel it for MMOs anymore. I realize now I only ever really played to be the best and to be better than the noobs and shit. That idea just doesn't attract me anymore. With no motivation, a grind isn't actually fun, it's just really a grind. I need console style RPGs. I need to go through the whole hero cycle and know what it is i'm saving. Not just hitting 'Accept' as quickly as I can to rake in a few thousand xps.

I do plan on trying swtor though, because I have faith that bioware will actually write a story beyond "this dragon has a purple weapon. kill it." Although, even then, I don't see myself going all PvP server. Being ubar has some how lost it's appeal to me during my MMO and forum trolling sabbatical

[ZoSo]

i just went through an RPG phase, tbh.

nothing can ever have the pull like an MMO though.

[Clone]

I agree with Ossot tbh, I really don't feel MMOs that much anymore. I am enjoying the EMU right now......... think it is a kind of making up for lost time thing. I also will try SWTOR, but I will never do the raid 5 days a week or even PvP for that matter again. To much time to invest in something that means nothing and could be fucked up in a day.

[Happy]

I will PVP, but fuck raiding on devoting mass amounts o time to a game again. Hell I maybe put in an hour a day on the EMU now (not counting my macroing).
