Slaiv

OT: Meh. I played the beta of WOW, and wasn't particularly impressed. I simply don't like most MMORPGs. I feel that to pay per month is ridiculous [although I realize that it is necessary.] I fail to see a point in these games, other than leveling your character. Plus, you are initially thrown uneducated into a massive world. There are thousands of options available to you, and you have no idea what to do. WOW improved on this significantly, but there are still too many things that are left unexplained. Which is why I am looking forward to Guild Wars. This game costs nothing [per month] to play, and is not as "diverse" [you can't become your own specialized lobster-cook]; but this makes it better in so many ways. First, there is a story. From what I've played, an involving one at that [for an MMORPG.] The graphics are impressive, and the game is just fun and simple to play. On-Topic: I don't know if it's changed, but when I was playing, the servers were unbelievably slow. It normally took about 30 seconds for simple things such as looting to register, sometimes longer. With so many kill-and-fetch quests, Blizzard [hopefully] has fixed this. When you need to kill a monster, it'd appear alive, but be dead by the time you attacked it. Other than lag, I experienced few bugs. I wouldn't expect Blizzard to be able to competently support a persistent online world [game], but with the massive user base, it seems they've been able to do so.

...Literally. Meanwhile the Sock Army, upon hearing the news of the return of the king Sock-And-Sole, immediately abandoned their posts and began their journey to...

If Bethesda made a game solely for cooperative play, it could work. It would take a lot of skill, and the right ideas, but it could happen. NWN - It worked, didn't it? MMORPGs have never really appealed to me. TOo many things that haven't been perfected - poor communication, poor graphics, no storyline, boring quests, leveling is the main aspect, the obligatory uber-character %&$!.... it goes on. But most of all, for the complexity of an MMORPG, I have yet to find one that is "noob-friendly" at all. They all thrust you into this world of extreme complexity, and give you no indication as to what to do. Sure, it's technically freedom, but with so much you can do, and nothing explaining it, you get some problems.

Very nice. Comprehensive, clean, and informative. I learned new thigns about Oblivion - updated fast travel system, etc.... Thanks, and keep up the work.

Like I have said:

I already add the letter "u" to may words, thanks to my having read waaay too many old english novels. I agree on this point. No more "Yo B whatup? Yo, Taquisha! What's shakin'? Thur it is!" Skateboarding > Soccer [a.k.a. Football] > Basketball > Baseball > Hockey > Rugby > American Football > Garbage Collecting > Sewage Cleanup > NASCAR. Most Americans want to do that anyway. It certainly looks to me like we decided. ;) Any you dare take away explosives from the hands of Americans? :P German cars are by far superior to all others. German cars, however, are not British cars. So stick with your "Jag-yu-ahs," and I'll stick with my Corvettes, Mustangs, and Benzes. P.S. Ban all Asian cars aside from the Subara WRX STi. And Americans eat fattening food? The Boston Tea party took place in 1773. 2004 - 1773 = 301 years. If I recall, the British were oppressing the Colonists by imposing heavy taxes on them. If the U.S. took control of Britain and starting placing heavy taxes on goods sold there, I don't think that the British would sit back and relax. Americans should stop complaining. On the other hand, it's America, not Britain - stop complaining, it's not your country. Agreed. Americans are suing right and left, consequently raising taxes and prices for everyone. Don't ask. :shifty: So, in fewer words, I'm split.

I'd have to say that either Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun tie for first out of EA's strategy games. Westwood was the best thing EA had going for it [except for possibly the NEVER-chaning Madden series] - Nox was a great game, C&C was a great series, etc... Then EA had the brilliant idea to get rid of it.

Re-buy it. Even if you get it to work, it needs the CD. Speaking of which, I still need the expansions... ;)

Good times... :P Guess I forgot... ;)

Necromancy'd! ;) Oh, and this isn't exactly the place to post your complaints. Try the report function next time, as your comments have nothing to do with the thread topic. Well, since the thread has been brought back to life, I might as well add to it. Morik, they are probably not immature if you're not using them in an immature way [such as saying them every other sentence.] Humour has kept many threads and forums alive, so I'm pretty sure that's not a problem.

Let me restate that: THE ELDER SCROLLS III: MORROWIND IS NOT ONLINE. NO ONE HAS EVER DONE IT. NO ONE EVER WILL. IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Now, let me elaborate: Despite what many have claimed, no one has ever been able to mod Morrowind in order to make it multiplayer. There are so many complications and technicalities to list here, but, suffice to say, there are enough to make sure that it never happens. No one ever will, too. Unless they have direct access to both Bethesda and the source code, it is impossible. To make Morrowind online, you would have to edit the source code, which is not available to just anyone. Plus, editing the source code is illegal. So even if you were to somehow access the source code and spend hundreds of hours editing and adding code, you would most likely be arrested and your mod shut down and removed from existence. A quote from Daerk [quite a while ago]: Here's my response via PM to Zenogias: -- Daerk And finally, a quote from Peregrine, which I believe sums up everything in this post:

I can't understand a word you just said. :huh:

I know Dark0ne just posted not to attempt to do the moderator's job, but seing as a moderator didn't do it, it looks like I have to. :P "Best RPGs of All Time" "Favourite Games, Other Than Morrowind?" "Favourite Games, Choose Wisely" "Anyone Play Other Games?" Just a heads up - I know you're new, but try to use the search function from now on. ^_^

What does that have to do with anything? :huh:

Can I be a moderator, then? :P Thanks for clearing that up. I have done both, but now I guess I have to stick to just one. :)

Unless it's spam, of course. :huh:

One topic that will get nowhere: Macs VS. PCs. That's a never-ending battle. :huh:

I guess I'll start my own little birthday-tradition thing here...

I, too, miss the old times..... what say we go back to them, eh?

ooc> Ok, this is going nowhere :blink: .......I'm outta this piece for a while.

I can't even change my skin....There's only one option, instead of the four you [people] are talking about...Also, there is only one language option: English. Don't know if there's sposed to be more language options, but the only skin I can use is "Hardwired [import]2"..... I haven't voted yet, can anyone tell me what the prob is?

Ummmm.. the ads have disappered. They are not on the maing forum page, or on the MWSource homepage........

All of Germany is under Slaiv's control.... Slaiv announces his changes to Die Neu Bundesrepublikdeutschland: "Today is a defining day in the history of our great nation. Acting in the best interest for our country, I am reforging the government and creating a new nation, a more powerful nation. We shall now be known as Neu Deutschland. Henceforth our government will be a Dictatorship. We shall use our military might to crush those who dare threaten us! I will lead our mighty nation onward! Onward, to victory!" Neu Deutschland Dictatorial Palace: Slaiv tells of his plans: "I will not be in person for any government event. I will not be seen by anyone. I will do as I wish, and remain unnoticed by all. I will go and do as I please. Anyone who is opposed may escort themselves out now." None exit. "Excellent. I must be going now...." Slaiv gets on his private jet, provided by Mojlnir, and flies to New Washington, D.C...

Neu Bundesrepublikdeutschland Government Headquarters "Sir, the votes have benn collected." "What are the results?" "You have become the new President of Die Neu Bundesrepublikdeutschland. You managed to get 83 percent of the total votes. No one else even came near you in the standings." "Excellent." Neu Bundesrepublikdeutschland Government Headquarters, Presidential Wing Slaiv begins his Presidency with some new strategies..... "Begin our new "educational system"..... "Yes, Sir. We will begin immediately......" As of now, the citizens of Die Neu Bundesrepublikdeutschland are being influenced by the subtle new "advertisements"..... The children and teens in schools are being taught to follow Slaiv, subtly....... Soon, Slaiv will remove himself from the seat of President...... And place upon himself the crown of Dictatorship........

Soon after Slaiv's initial speech, he reveals his beliefs in hope to be elected President of the newly formed German Democracy: "Noch einmal komme ich vor Ihnen, im Geschäft der Politik. Dieses Mal, zur umreiß, was ich plane, zu tun, wenn gewählter Präsident: 1. Ich plane, unseren Auslandsmarkt drastisch zu erhöhen, erhöhe unsere nationale Geldversorgung und stelle Jobs für Millionen zur Verfügung. 2. Ich plane, Militär unserer Nation zu erhöhen konnte, denn das Kommen des Krieges ist immer... zur Hand Besonders in dieser Zeit der Gefahr. Wir haben den Präsidenten der ermordeten Vereinigten Staaten, sowie seinen Nachfolger gesehen......" Translated: "Once again I come in front of you, in the business of politics. This time, to outline what I plan to do if elected President: 1. I plan to increase our foreign market dramatically, increasing our national money supply and providing jobs for millions. 2. I plan to increase our nation's military might, for the coming of war is always at hand... Especially in this time of peril. We have seen the President of the United States assassinated, as well as his successor....." Slaiv has impressed the people of the Neu Bundesrepublikdeutschland [New Federal Republic of Germany.] Unsuspecting, they continue to support Slaiv..... Little do they know, Slaiv has different plans for his Presidential Reign.....
