How much is the game per month?
-
14.95 I believe (could be 14.99).
I\'ve spent (according to the game clock) spending 384 hours over the past few months doing something or other in game. Had a blast doing it everyday though. I can\'t complain about anything.
-
Im going MXO for sure have played in beta for nare two months and still play religously everyday!! I think i used to be married with kids two but I cant remeber there names...
MARCH 22nd BABy is GOLIVE!!

/me wonders if i can be a Hobo WoW playing BUM....

-

I can only pay to play one, so I think i\'m leanign mroe and more to WoW....
-
same here
but for me i am trying to fight of the temptation in buying it now.
my only concerns are...
My computers stats
2800+ Athlon
512 Mg DDR memory
Ge Force 5200 FX (yeah i know its sucks)
and
My Net connection
1 meg AOL Via a Router.
Don\'t have a problem with lag on normal games, but at the start of the year i downloaed Anarchy online (the Free trial for a year version) and it runs like a DOG.
Mind you i rmember reading that Anarchy online can be very laggy at the best of times for most people.
-
You worry too much ooseven:
What are the game\'s system requirements?
Windows® System 98/ME/2000/XP OS:
800 MHz or higher CPU
256 MB or more of RAM
32 MB 3D graphics card with hardware transform and lighting, such as GeForce 2 or better
4 GB or more of available hard drive space
DirectX® 9.0c or above
A 56k or higher modem with an Internet connection
My wife has almost the same setup you do - 2800 Athlon 1 GB of Ram and a 9700 Pro video card and has zero problems. Look at the requirements above - you have those beat 3 times over.
WoW is the best MMORPG out right now.
-
Cool thanks for the help :D
Will put it high on my thing to get when i get payed...should be one friday ;)

It still makes no sense to me why AOL is in Europe. Would it kill them to change it to EOL or something?

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin’ for a showdown
Bad dreamer, what’s your name
Looks like we’re ridin’ on the same train
Looks as through there’ll be more pain
There’s gonna be a showdown

i\'ll never play it
client is hacked to shreds already

So don\'t hack yourself. You\'ll have more fun that way. Unless by hacked you mean add-ons in which case i recommend a weapon auto-switching addon for all the rogue and warrior types out there for stealthing and different warrior stances as well as cosmos to upgrade the lackluster default UI. Or CTMod at the least...
-
dont hack myself?
oh, ok. i\'ll just ignore the tradeskill bots, or auto farmers, or players warping.
it\'s Bnet all over again
-
Ryu what is that weapon autoswitching add on you are referring to? Link or name please?
-
I got an undead priest to 60 after 4 solid weeks, played it for a week, then back to daoc.

Believe it or not, if it\'s not affecting how YOU play, those things can be ignored.

Heh. You played to the level cap in four weeks (because you\'re insane I imagine) and then that\'s it? There\'s more to these games then the level cap you know...
Ryu what is that weapon autoswitching add on you are referring to? Link or name please?
http://capnbry.net/wow/
I use StanceSets personally since I\'m a warrior. It\'s the most affective tool from going between stances and switching weapons with them. Best part is, you can switch stances mid battle and the weapons switch with your stance. Very awesome.
-
Yeah I am a warrior as well - I am going to download that sucker tonight!

I quit after my one month free trial...

oh yeah, i can ignore players cheating
:confused:
-
Heh, it\'s not an FPS game where people are walking through walls avoiding kills, turning invisible, wallhacking, or anything like that. They don\'t have infinity energy. They also lack the experience it takes to play well.
So how are they hindering your gameplay? There\'s heaps of minerals out there, and heaps of different inredients for other trade skills so there isn\'t any problem finding those. Some players warp (though it is a spell you can learn as well), but I still don\'t see how that affects your playing experience. If this was strict pvp, yah, sure, it could be tough on you, but it\'s not. Not even close. I just don\'t get what your complaint actually is.

He has to complain, otherwise he\'d have no reason to live.

OK, I suck. I have no back bone. I cave. I bought the fucking game. I also bought a laptop. Not a monster laptop, but one for work and what not.
Um, what was this topic again?

That does make me sad.
If the Matrix Online is good I\'ll try that... But I doubt it\'ll be better than WoW.
-
I have been downloading the update for hours now. This is ridiculous. I\'m not even at 50%.
Why do they do it as peer to peer rather than on a server? This fucking blows nuts.
-
Haha $15/mo and no download servers??
-
Vid use FilePlanet to get the update.
-
well I finally got it. I think I got home at about 6:30 and it is now 11:00.
Now I guess I\'ll just look around cause I have no clue what I\'m doing yet.
-
I own you all in this game. hehe.
Level 60 priest on Archimonde in the Revenant guild. We just hit Onxyia for the first time tonight with our 40 man and got her down to 65% on our second time. She took off and went nuts.
MM- I\'m on the 3rd most populated server in one of the largest and highest guilds on the server and I\'ve never noticed the hacking really.

Though my server is not quite as populated as yours, I have played with hundreds of people and have not noticed many, if any at all, of the hacks mm linked to. The fact that you, mm, linked to them is disturbing, especially on a public forum, but hey, whatever. Regardless of these people attempting to hack the game, it still does not affect your personal playing experience. You have yet to give me evidence to the contrary.
Don\'t hack. Don\'t read about hacks. Get together with good players and have fun. "omg, there\'s hacks!" Welcome to the real world. I\'m not about to run off and hide in a cave because some guy is sleeping AND mining mithril at the same time. Big deal.
-
k, i\'ll dig this thread up in a few months and see which direction it went in
downplay it all you want, it\'s bnet round 2
:rolleyes:
http://www.blizzhackers.com/viewtopic.php?t=258553
there\'s your wallhack/fog remover hack
nice, for PvP eh?
need i post the link to the teleport hack? players can move anywhere they want at any time on the map? how can i ignore that?
lol
cant beleive you pay to play that game and defend it so righteously
and it\'s only going to get worse
-
What realm should I play in? I just picked one of the top ones, but I see now I can\'t move a player from realm to realm. What realm are you guys playing in?
-
Got it for me Bday :D
just need to set up an account.
Unlucky for me its a busy week at work so it shold (fingers crossed) mid to end of this week :D.
Sammy and outher european palyers what server r u on ?
tell me so i can join da fun and random ingame text knob jokes.
-

Dude, you don\'t even know the dynamics of the game and so far you can\'t even tell me how this would affect YOUR play experience. Even the person who posted the link in the forum said "I don\'t know how useful this is."
need i post the link to the teleport hack? players can move anywhere they want at any time on the map? how can i ignore that?
Again, the question remains. How does this affect how YOU play the game? How long did you play this game for, honestly? I mean, ooo, you save on travel time! Big deal. It\'s certainly not by much. Mages can port you to almost any major city on the map as it is and a short flight will take care of the rest. So far, I\'m not impressed with any of these "cheats" and fail to see how it affects individual gameplay experiences. I certainly don\'t see the WoW official forums, the biggest whining bitches on the face of the Earth, complaining for one second about any of these cheats.
-
dynamics of the game?
it\'s a MMORPG, just like all the rest. it brang NOTHING new to the table, just a name and a bad reputation.
dude, you\'re totally just ignoring the facts of how this affects players.
on a PVP server, teleporting players is DEVASTATING. you\'re killing a player, and *poof* he\'s gone. you\'re running from a player and *poof* he\'s right back on you.
lets say you play on a PvE. racing to kill that mob or grab that treasure chest? *poof*....
please stop playing ignorant. it\'s not entertaining or amusing.
like i said, we\'ll come back to this thread in a few months, and we\'ll see how things are.
-
I could care less about any of that... I\'m enjoying the game. When I stop enjoying it I\'ll also stop playing it.
-
The teleporting hacked only worked in Beta, and in the Korean release of the game. It has been fixed for some time. The only hack that is taking place is speed hacking(which I still haven\'t seen) but people are getting BANNINATED for it so its all good.
Blizzard DOESN\'T want this to become Diablo 2, and they are taking a real hard line against hackers.
-
LMAO - if you play WoW you have to read the first 2 pages of this thread...

So, this game is like... good or something? LOL. :D I am so out of touch with current games, it\'s pathetic.
This thing could be fun, and I could afford to buy it if I wanted to, but I don\'t think I have the time to play it! :p In the evening I usually spend about one hour watching TV, a couple hours ripping CDs and fixing ID3 tags, then browsing Usenet or web forums for an hour, then my night is pretty much shot.
When am I supposed to play a MMORPG? :yawn:
-
I\'m actually enjoying it. It\'s freaking huge. I only have my player at level 9. Had a couple guys help me which is huge in this game. It\'s tough doing stuff on your own.
-
How do you married guys manage to flush away hours of your life on games like this? Doesn\'t your wife bitch at you about spending your time on the computer instead of with them? I always imagined that is what it would be like to be married. :p
-
My wife actually plays the game now. She has managed to get up to 20th level pretty much on her own.
-
I typically play when she is watching Oprah or Forensic files. Plus I am unemployed so I can fuck off any time of the day. God, I wish.
-
"Heh. You played to the level cap in four weeks (because you\'re insane I imagine) and then that\'s it? There\'s more to these games then the level cap you know..."
I know, but coming from daoc, my natural intention is to beem to the top lvl as fast as possible. I got to 60 after I painfully amount of time pve\'ing and questing, did that whole "PVP" player vs player thing on the most godly overpowered class in the game, and there\'s just nothing there. I know there\'s no end game PVP yet but as of right now there\'s just no point in playing WOW for top lvl people.
Daoc has an extremely thorough and ellaborate end game system. It\'s better than WoW\'s, so I play that until otherwise.
-
How many years did it take DAoC to get where it is today and how many expansions? WoW is not bad bad at ALL for its initial release. You have to admit at least that.

Upcoming notes for upcoming patches. Figured some of you (who are in the end game stages) would be interested.
-
Yeah Ryu all they are giving us is a rage fix for misses, dodges and parries. What a joke - fix the miss rate on our abilities and I will be happy. Nothing like miss, miss, miss - hit heroric strike - MISS... This is why duel weild is so worthless.
That is really about the only thing that irritates me about our class.
-
So am I stuck on the Ner\' Zhul Realm forever? How does the game work? Will I eventually be able to go to other realms?
Is anyone else on Ner\' Zhul or is it just Luke and I?
-
Just you and Luke as far as I know - maybe some day you can switch realms, but not anytime soon.
-
well damn. Get a character over there too. I just turned 10 so hopefully I can get into Luke\'s guild.

Yeah thats what I hope.
Got a level 17 Undead Rouge (not bad for 5 days play)
on the thunderhorn server.
it would be nice to tkae him to the PVP servers for a "holiday" or i could drop i nadn visit Sammy\'s Dwarf ;)
-
I believe in Battlegrounds, when you enter the area, everyone is flagged. Then you perform PVE and PVP tasks as quickly and as effeciently as possible.
-
its sounds interesting... I wouldnt mind a game to play on the computer... everything I play now is on my PS2 but the GF always complains about how she cant watch TV when I play.
-
well it sounds like she needs something better to do. Plus, you need a head to rest the controller on while you\'re playing, don\'t you?
