...as to my reply to the idiot above; The term camping was coined (As far back as I am aware) in shooters. When he said camping thus, especially in that I take about 0 seconds to formulate my witty replies, was that he was talking about shooters...since camping in an MMO relates to ambushing people in an area and that in my mind this was not 'dishonorable' thing to do.
So, essentially, you don't think when you post your replies; you just shoot from the hip and then attempt to (poorly) defend your half-assed statements.
Got it. You get lumped under the "useless in a conversation" column.
It's not /end: for you it'd be /wrists, which, since you're not hip to all the new MMO lingo, would be slash wrists! Hurr hurr!
Dumbass.
Good way to ignore my post man. You're super awesome at this..anyway, ...I want to thank everyone for ruining my post about this game, luckily I don't think the game is missing out too much. _________________ <-Tri/_p

You're welcome, but now that you're here, you may as well not waste it! We're only the second thread down here.
I question your grasp on responsibility and how it applies to yourself. You blame "us" for "ruining your post about this game" and verily do not acknowledge your hand in it at all. This leads me to believe that the lack of maturity you displayed could very well permeate any and every other thread you've posted in or could post in.
Also, to get back to the point of this thread: the game looks like every other MMO out there. The last thing the gaming market needs at this point is yet another game about swords and sorcery. Age of Conan will be coming out soon, and while not a WoW-killer, it will grab the attention of a few for a while... and then fade away, and my bets are that this one goes away as well.
Just like Vanguard, just like ShadowBane, just like that one game that had dragons. The only reason UO and EQ are still running is the fact that they're the grandfather MMOs, and they're tottering on the edge of oblivion as is.
My point is thus; it may be a grand new game, with brand new, rehashed ideas, but getting uppity that "your" game isn't going to make it is no reason to backflip off the springboard into the waters of snapfish. If the game is good, it will generally sell itself. Or the company will find people to pay large amounts of money to advertise for them.
Shill. _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

WAR will be interesting. A lot of the GW vets currently playing WoW will make the shift rather sharpish. And rightly so. _________________

I don't doubt WoWers will disembark for WAR, AoC, or whatever other powerhouse is out there. The big burning question is "Does this game have staying power?" The next "Big Game" is going to have to be really similar to WoW or strikingly different. Anything playing on Blizzard's home turf is greeted with a death knell right out the gates.
Eve's the biggest space contender, with AO (is that still around?) right after.
A steampunk MMO may go far, but who knows. _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

Eh, forgot what GW stood for. Guild Wars was it? I haven't heard much out of their corner lately. _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

I don't care about the next big thing, this game has plenty of different stuff and certainly isn't anywhere CLOSE to bloody WoW, EQ, whatever the rest of the crap is...and Shadowbane and AC didn't make it for other reasons..now it might not even MAKE it to the finish..but one can hope..also Mekanikos any writer worth his 6-pack will tell you, less is more. You might not get that...but then again i've been wrong before. _________________ <-Tri/_p

You're still here? And you're still defending this game... without really telling us anything. You've completely missed the entire point of all of my posts. I can have a genteel conversation with arquinsiel because he doesn't flip his lid the moment someone disagrees with him.
Be a little less offensive and you might be worth talking to.
And now you're reaching, trying to insult me. Good god man, are you truly that sad? _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

Ah, you see my little friend. When one person insults another (Aka, your last post to me before MY last post) it is customary for the insulted party to return the favor, it's called human nature by most...but hey you really are a good troll..
EDIT - And just because I LOVE to copy and paste for you.
"Is your goal to face a legendary monster? Well, that is usually suicide – if you can find one. But if your guild would actually manage to kill one, it’s dead. Gone. Rare monsters and quests do not resurrect or come again, whether it’s an ancient beast, a crumbling temple, an island rising out of the sea or a great ritual that fails or succeeds. You might get away with an item never seen before, or the unique scar that tells about the experience. There are not many of these opportunities but they are usually important enough to affect the whole world and its history. All you have to do is be at the right place at the right time."
"We want you and your character to be one. Your skills as a player combined with the skills of your character will determine the outcome of any PvP or PvE fight. In the first person perspective of Mortal Online you virtually perform every action your character does – there is no such thing as automatic combat or your character doing the job for you. Aim and strike anywhere you want, and experience your characters combat skill increase as well as your own."
"Choose to believe in one of the Gods and watch its power grow. Fight heretics and burn their temples to rob their Gods of power. Or start a new cult: with enough believers your God might be powerful enough to enter the Pantheon."
But seriously WTF is your hangup on this game having to have all totally orignal stuff? All I ever wanted to do was tell some people about a potentially good game if it didn't die/wasn't vaporware. I have NEVER understood the attacks from anyone and how you can accuse me of all the BS that you almost confounds me, except of course I have driven on the internet before. So hey, it's not 100% original with super cool flavored ice cream, it's just a fucking good game IN MY OPINION and I wanted to share with people in case someone else here actually enjoyed a good PvP centered online game. But really, great troll.[/i] _________________ <-Tri/_p

Seeing as you've STILL missed the point entirely... as well as the open italicize.
I wasn't attacking the game. I aimed my barbs at you after your e-rage, and tossed in a clinical observation of the state of the MMO world, which seemed to further piss you off for no apparent reason.
Well, finally you've given us a reason to go look at the website of the game! A snippet of information rather than "Hey, look, a game... with PVP" and random insults.
No hangups about the game; you just irritated me from the word "Go" what with your ulcerous attitude and responses towards others in general.
An opinion is fine. As it went you said something along the lines of playing a graphical chat, to which I responded, and then your retort was well within bounds right up until you called me a "fucking idiot" for using the word "camping," saying that none of us had any interest in MMOs, and displaying general ignorance. At that point you opened yourself up as a target, and this thread unfolded as it did.
If you had queried me as to why I thought such about PVP or the like instead of stating I had no interest whatsoever, this thread may have taken a different turn. Then it would've been a debate, not a lambasting on your side.
There's a line between debating and arguing, and you seem unaware as to where it is. _________________ My rusty vision leaves me raw,

If you don't care about PvP....you will not care about this game...I couldn't care less why you think that way about Pvp...as it just doesnt MATTER...anyway, this is way too bloody /end _________________ <-Tri/_p

For the record use of the "/" character denotes the end all by itself. In context you should have said "[/wank]". _________________

If you don't care then why are you still responding? If you didn't care this would've ended a while ago.
