It's a good idea, even better if it can teach others the meaning of RP'ing and letting them see how much fun you can have doing it. I know in WOW there were players who made their own tight knit RP communities that didn't want any newcommer to join them (Experienced that one myself being shunned by the RP community on my…

RP is minimal due to the fact that the majority of the players are kids, coming straight outta Call of Duty Black flop 2, who has no intention of doing RP, no knowledge of what RP means. Every time you try to RP openly, they'll go like "LOL XD", "rofl wtf? RP?" etc. As someone else said, the foundry is definitely the best…

Wrong. I have a sub in SWTOR and i only have to use ingame Credits to unlock more storage space. I don't have to pay to unlock anything in that game. I can go do raids (OPs) or hard modes all day long. I get 650 cartel points every month to spend in their cash shop. You're basically wrong in everything else you say. Try…

I would love to see the same type of system that SWTOR or TERA has. Freemium. It's a business model tested and proven to be working perfectly and way better than the pure F2P HAMSTER that some companies still clings to for dear life... Safe to say i'd set up a sub in a heartbeat.
-
Not another one of these pathetic wipe poll threads....
-
The old F2P model is old and outdated either way. The Freemium (F2P or sub with micro transactions ingame) will take over. Just look at how much more money SWTOR (EA), as well as TERA and Rift made after going Freemium.. These games developers have doubled their revenues and they don't just stop, they're still increasing…

You're comparing two different things here. The first is a physical product, the second is a virtual product, which already makes your point moot. If you support PWE by using their ingame cash shop in the open beta, that's entirely up to you but don't hold that against them when they address a critical issue and have to…

Sure, there will always be those who feel like they are entitled just because they grew up getting everything they pointed at in real life by their parents or next of kin etc. I might've put it a bit wrong perhaps, but most people get the point, i'm sure. It's their parents who are at fault in the end though, sadly.…

Cheaper prices on everything is my #1 wish.
-
Accept your money? They gave you an option to spend money prior to the official launch. If you feed them money and buy their product, why shouldn't they accept it? If you spend money on the game, then that is YOUR CHOICE. Noone's holding a gun to your head saying "Buy ZEN and spend it on the cash shop". It IS a beta, you…

You're not entitled to anything except the stuff you got from the founder's pack if you made it after the roll-back. Kids these days thinks they're entitled to everything and anything... Grow up... From Wikipedia: Narcissism In clinical psychology and psychiatry, an unrealistic, exaggerated, or rigidly held sense of…

Late reply but oh well. If you're playing Champions Online or Star Trek Online and you've got new mail in either of those games, the mail icon in NWO will light up. Check your mail for STO and CO then come back to NWO and it should be fixed.

^This. PVP in this game just isn't right... Sadly it's in the game and that draws the attention of the FPS kids with their intelligent character names and their bad attitudes... Any game with PVP draws the attention of these kid, who couldn't care less about the name of the game/history of the game universe etc (I bet most…

This isn't a PVP focused game. Deal with it.
-
It's not F2P, it's called FREEMIUM. Meaning you have two options. Play for Free but buy to unlock/access certain content and such, or Pay to Play, meaning you have everything for free but you have to pay a minimal fee every month. I'd take the monthly fee any time. In the F2P player's mind, as long as it takes effort to…
-
Then you guys have been lucky, or it depends on the time of day when you play. However this isn't an issue only related to NWO. It's the same in Champions Online as well as Star Trek Online.
-
Work harder on fixing the horrible rubberband issues that has spread from CO -> STO -> NWO. I'd be pretty embarrassed if i were Cryptic and not being able to fix the server issues after so long. While i love the game, i can't play it due to the rubberbanding. No point when i take one step forward, then get tossed…
-
I agree that the end gear you get from dungeons/buy should be character bound. However, it won't happen. And i'm content with that, cause i'm a casual gamer, not a hardcore gamer and finally, i hate PVP, so to me, this game isn't P2W, rather Pay for Convenience. I did hope that this game would be a P2P game before i got…

Blizzard is not at fault for people using 3rd party hack software or exploiting their games. Blizzard bans more than you'll ever know every single year. How many does the F2P developers/publishers ban every year? Almost noone, at least compared to Blizzard. While i admit Diablo 3 was a flop, it gives you no right to…
-
Aha! Right, they said nothing about that (At least i couldn't find any information about it anywhere), which i find strange but thanks a lot for clearing that up for me!
-
Highly doubt you have, unless you've played betas since 1999. Noone's redefining any industry term. Phew, i thought you were smart, but i guess the light was only flickering before dying out. -> <- -> <- -> <- Contradict much? No, in fact you only strengthened by believe that you don't know anything about betas. Yes, if…
-
Sure, if you only do PVP, i'd agree that it's P2W, but this game is not at all PVP focused. You don't win over someone else in PVE. "Player versus Enviroment", hello?
-
Clearly you have not played a lot of betas. That's because they kill two birds in one stone. 1: They can test the cash shop's functionality. 2: They can make money from stupid people that actually can't wait to empty their pockets into the cash shop. Bans for exploits happens in all stages, closed beta or open beta.…

I never recieved the Adventurer's Helper Pack. If i pay money for a product, then i'd like to recieve 100% not 90%.

You should be the one apologizing for your ignorance, like the rest of the ignorant people here whining about a maintenance during an open beta. Yes, it's an open beta even if they enabled the cash shop. I suggest you go read up on what the different beta stages actually mean, in order to prevent yourself from posting such…
-
If ignorance was a car, it'd be your favorite car. Yes, who wouldn't take money from all the morons poking them with their credit cards or pre-paid ZEN cards? It's not their fault people are so gullible when it comes to cash shops in F2P games. It is still an open beta though, and that won't change no matter how you try to…
-
If every game company had listened to the whiners on their forums, there would be no more games, and no more gaming communities.
-
They're not actually obligated to give you any form of information during a beta phase. This is a case of what i call the entitlement syndrome, nothing more. I read their post but that doesn't mean theyre any more obligated to inform you. The majority on these forums aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed when it…
-
It's a beta... What the heck do you expect? What does every whinere here really expect during a beta? Bug-free game and the publisher overwhelming you with second to second updates on what's going on behind the curtains? "Soft launch" and "Oh but it's in full version cause the ZEN store is enabled". 1: There's no such…
