NAMCO Truncheon ... meet Sphincter. Even when there's a solution to those players who want to play, NAMCO still fold onto their "rights" to fuck those players over.
While I'm not playing, I can understand the frustration felt by those poor sods who still enjoy the game. |

Mouse and keyboard controls on the PC (while better than the console), sucks. THEMS FIGHTIN' WORDS!
EDIT: Ah ... noticed the clarified comment below. I've yet to see wait the mouse/keyboard interface is like. It's only JUST hit the store shelves over here.

SO can someone tell me why that link, links to a guy named "John Bruce Thompson"? Isn't his name Jack, or did he change it or something. John/Jack ... Charles/Chuck ... Michael/Mick ... get the picture? |

The best fun I've had in ages was last night with a running battle up and down the corridors of Ironforge. The bastard zombies outflanked us and trapped us in the Warlock/Rogue district, but we had more than enough priests to clear the disease and we managed to break out. Eventually we wiped them out ... we think. Zombie Massacre FTW!!

$199 actually. So about a year and a half paid for at the 9.99 price. Which isn't too bad. I've done well out of LotRO. I've left and come back a couple of times. If I'd taken up the $9.99 offer, I'd be behind as I'd have to pay the full subscription price after that. AS it happens, I just need to update the client and hop in. It's always there. I like that convenience. If Blizzard offered the same deal when WoW opened, I'd be well ahead. |

| So I wonder is someone going to provide the server code so private servers could begin to spring up. Probably not ... what a waste. |

I got a lifetime sub for LotRO (.. actually it was a birthday present). But even if I had to spend my own cash on it, it would have been worth it. I means I'll always have theat sub there and need never fork out money again ... with the exception of expansions. Turbine have been pretty generous with free content too. If WoW had a lifetime sub, I'd probably grab that too.
But as far as Hellgate London goes, that game should NEVER have been subscription based in the first place ... and would probably have done so much better if it wasn't.

I am a bit of a fan of stylised graphics myself ( ... I guess that's why WoW's style never bothered me in the slightest). I think that an "Old Republic" setting really lends itself to the Superheroes/Saturday Morning cartoons kind of graphics style ...
.. but that's just my opinion.

In the fantasy games, such as World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings or Age of Conan I suspect they would use 'magic' as used by wizards, magic-users, necromancers, shamans, Stygian priests, etc. And you would be right, but normally these effects are transient. And if they weren't they should be at least handled by some kind of in game mechanism. With EQ2 and VG you simply could just "recreate" your character each time you entered the game on a whim with no explanation or continuity .... which in my opinion just didn't seem right. Even an old school pen and paper RPG game would not let you do that without outlaying vast amounts of in game cash ... GM permitting of course (and I wouldn't permit it :p)

EQ2 allows you to change your appearance at any time (not race/gender..class doesn't count) EQ2 and Vanguard are the only ones, and frankly the amount of change they allowed characters I thought was stupid; it never made any sense. How on earth can you change your skin tone, height, entire facial structure and so on at a whim?

WTF. I bet they wered hired dudes to cheer at the suggestion Blizzard made. If not I guess the fans have gone out of touch to....
http://www.wegame.com/watch/Starcraft_2_Trilogy_Announcement/
You decide.
Did the FANS CHEER as much with the news about the paid character customization in WoW, I wonder.
I don't even think this one was announced. And I'm not even sure what this whole customisation thing is anyway? Does anyone? I'm assuming it's for major changes to the character like what you get at character creation (gender, look, etc). But no one knows at the moment. If it is what I think it is, I can live without it.
People pay for server transfers and name changes ... but do you think those should be for free too?

I'm really curious where everyone is getting this whole "Each of the three releases will be longer than the original starcraft!" from? If you can, try and track down a video panel that was held at Blizzcon where they announced this (Comment #82 has a cut down version, but is missing all the cool demos that preceded the actual announcement). You'll get all the answers you need there.

This is really sad. First SCII split and now this. Looks like Blizzard has gone completly out of touch with it's fans. Perhaps you should check out the announcement of the Starcraft Trilogy at Blizzcon. Prado went through the three options they were considering (not letting the crowd know which way they had gone) and the FANS CHEERED for the option to make 3 epic campaigns, but selling them separately. The other two got "boo"s and silence respectively.
I'm pretty sure the fans are getting exactly what they want.

A couple of things you need to consider:
1) SC2 is not going to be the linear mission one, mission two, mission three type of game. The structure of the game is going to be a more freeform branching structure based on player choices as to what they want to do. Play through the campaign a second time and it may play out completely differently. The "give you the starmap and let you choose the missions" structure is going to piss all over what we've seen so far.
2) Blizzard are top notch storytellers. Everything after Starcraft pretty much has been heavily narrative based along with great cut scenes. And from what they demonstrated of the game at Blizzcon, the same is going to be true of the SC2 are well.
3) Each races campaign is going to be longer than the whole of Starcraft. That's going to be a pretty huge single player campaign. And with Blizzards ability to weave a story ... I'm not complaining about having to buy 2 expansions. At least they are letting you know ahead of time what the expansions are going to be (unlike WC2) and hey have a plan for where it's going to go.
But then if you are not interested in Blizzards stories or single player, don't bother with them. Just get the main game and play multiplayer.
This isn't about episodes though, it's about Blizzard splitting one product into 3 purchases. Err ... no. If that was the case, you've be getting three campaigns with the entire product the size of SC1. What you are getting is three products, totaling more than three times the size of SC1 with much more interesting mission structure than simply mission one ... two ... three.
What I saw looked really interesting ... and I'm not even a Starcraft fan.

Considering that ...
a) You'll get the FULL multiplayer game with the first part and
b) each separate campaign is the length of the first Starcraft game ... all three sides campaigns
... I have no problem with this at all. Effectively what your getting with the Zerg and Protoss part is a separate single player campaign. If single player is not your bag, then don't bother with them.
Anyway .. you whiney-arsed bitches will buy them all. You get one sniff of the game and what it looks like, you won't be able to help yourselves.
