Mirror imaged essentially. I was on Earthen Ring RP from the beginning though, so the HK patch actually helped things a little in my case, because suddenly people were interested in PvP in a whole 'nother way. I can easilly believe how the mood would've changed on an PvP server though. Never bought Cata though, but it was a close call for a while.

When you factor in Phasing into that... double-whammy. Alot of people can't even see your toon, just because you finished a questchain - hence you can't even go back to help people. Wich was really annoying on a RPPvP server where we were starting anew. I got corpsecamped and eventually asked for help; Noone in the channel that was interested in helping out and my friends could'nt even see me when they came there... Great stuff. I remember Barrens general chat. Hot damn, there was alot of chatting going on. 'Course that was also because it was such an annoying place, but it was bearable because of social interactions there. Hell, you even got HELP from PEOPLE! You did'nt have to tab out to look at guides back then... They've really succeeded in taking the Massive out of their MMO. Possibly, you could get guild recruitment spam and such though, but yeah. Removing the opportunity to trade would help with that bit.

I have just remembered another gripe about World of Warcraft. It's lost the community. Something that actually bothered me when they first introduced the crossrealm dungeon/raidfinder, was that people stopped socializing on the server. You never had a chance to build up a reputation on the server as being a competent player, good person or funny. There was nothing of it, all the channels were dead besides the oafs that noone wanted to listen to and goldfarmer spam, so that did'nt compensate for anything. You rarely had the chance to meet an interesting person while pugging because they all came from different servers and you could'nt reliably start guilds or anything similar. That goes double for PvP! You never really get to find build up any form of relationship with the other faction on the server either, even with the open BG areas. You never really find your nemesis or such either. Though, people having to wait 30 minutes for a BG was'nt fun either, especially if there was a steamroll waiting to come down on them. My opinion on this is somewhat screwed though, since I played on an PvE server, where the alliance players usually came over to chat/whinge and plead to get some scores. We did steamroll through Arathi Basin 99% of the time, wich often led to the Alliance staying in their base sulking or going fishing. Wich in turn led to us running around naked inviting them to get some free HK's atleast... Or us jumping into AB fighting an Alliance premade. In dresses. And winning. xD TL/DR, Crossrealm killed WoW for me.

Like Caverns of Time was'nt enough.

I've recieved roughly 80 text messages today from my RL friends trying to get me back into the game, that's the real danger in that game. Not that you get hooked yourself, but that you either drag your friends into it with you or they drag you into it. I've never had problems with the graphics or art-style of vanilla WoW, I actually loved Eastern Kingdoms style. What really got to me was the ridiculously ugly and silly gear that came later on in the expansions, and to a small extent in the late vanilla times when Ahn'Quiraj and Zul'Gurub with it's semi-organic stuff came along. The players really can be an annoyance though, can't argue with that. The memories that are flooding back are... interesting to say the least, especially when my friends and I decided to start on a new server... where it seemed all the rejects had gathered.

Thanks for the spelling correction, that one was really bad, even for me. :S tThe problem is... I also feel ashamed for my friends actions. I've seen my friends do things that are ludicrously embarrassing... but I feel worse about it than they do.

Me two years ago. Still look the same essentially, but less clutter on the desk since I don't smoke anymore.

Well, you have to START a fight to have something to surrender from!

I wish I had a memory blank from when I had that much to drink... It's close to ten years, and I still cringe and feel shame. I wonder how my mates manage doing worse things than I did and keep a clear conciense.

We're a shadowcoalition of the scandinavian countries, made to look like we have a clue with the support of all the others; Oil-money from Norway, cell-phone money from Finland and... pastries and candy money from Denmark. These moneys are used to build up the image of a strong socialist country that acts as a knowitall and made up as something to aspire to as to have the rest of the world be as comfy as possible for us when we finally dig out our horned helmets again! This plan is something that has been started during the Viking Age as we call it, when we kidnapped all the pretty ladies from around Europe and started our export business of goods. I'm pleased to report, it's so far working Just as Planned, and noone has got a clue yet. *Mutters* Part of DENMARK?! The only reason why they were'nt made part of the Swedish EMPIRE is because we DID'NT WANT Denmark!!

Might've posted this before, I'm a wee bit tired;

Hey, Sweden is doing what we've been doing the last thousand years; Exporting furniture around the world, having you furnish your homes in the fashion we find appealing, so that when the day comes, and we take over the world - we'll find it homey! Ikea is'nt a company; It's a tactic!

I'm glad I'll never get any..

As my name is in Swedish order it'd be; Beware! The Windy Vampires. If I turn it into the american order of names, it'd be; Death by Flying Vampires. Or my very full name with all my last names, in the Swedish order; Beware! The Windy Muffin Vampire Werewolves. For something completely different; Aaaaah! No, Frodo! That's not what I meant with "You must destroy the Ring"!

Yay! I'm a great ape! 7/9! Then again, I've watched alot of Roslings talks and such. I answered wrong on lifespan and literacy rate. Also, Rosling is a pretty damn great TED talker, I've never had someone make statistics fun! :D

Hell, that could actually go either way, you could easilly call that an homage if that was just about any other developer...

Clever move! We're not for want of fantasy RPG's up here, what with DoD (Drakar och Demoner / Dragons and Demons), Eon and others, so we never did go to that ruleset except for licenced games and just to own the books for sake of having them. Sounds like a pretty neat book to have though, we might have to get some of them. For free. Because Sweden? It's fricking pwnge. If you can be bothered with beaurocrazy that is. Snel hest? Oh, right, and about the doctors from yesterday; They looked at my left eye and shrugged. Said that if it gets worse, use meds. If I run out of meds, call them for more. ._.

Hey Woldan, that snowy valley picture is really amazing! If I had'nt been as ludicrously unfit as I am, I'd have begged to be shown around some day.

Why would they want to have to do actual work when they can easilly coast on the consoles? It's still not a definete no though, what he said is more like it's not going to be a PC version released along the console versions, but might come later on.

Thanks Alan!

Ah, cool. Is it a world in itself or just a ruleset in the same vein as D&D? I've never had much contact with D&D since we've mostly been playing local games of the fantasy variety. I'm personally not a fan of systems that take actions away from the player (Such as Defence as a passive stat). We do have things like Star Wars, Wheel of Time and Midnight, but they've never been our most played games.

Ah, not heard much about it, D&D3.5 variant or something, right? Got a scheduled appointment to the hospital to check my iritis on the right eye, wich is'nt clear yet annoyingly. And friday evening I noticed some reddening around my left eye aswell, so I'm pretty damn certain it's started there aswell. Started selfmedicating at once since the opthalmologists department was closed when I noticed it, and since it has'nt progressed like it did the first time and actually started to look better with the meds I'm going to assume that it's iritis. Oh, and after going to the hospital I'm dropping in on my friends for some Only War RPG.

PF? Can't remember that abbreviation...

From a post in that thread; I think that the sales of RAM modules will spike this month, rather than CoD sales going down. But I'm just guessing.

My woodworking teacher I had in school was so touchy feely that the majority of the guys changed to sewing class instead, including me, and the girls went to woodworking class and wore low cut tops and passed with B's and A's. Then again, the sewing class teacher was hot. And really flirty. Somehow, he's still employed there.
