Yea I would agree that the "real" RP part of it is lost but... I mean, IMHO, I would never really "RP" with someone in-game. I wouldn't try to talk like my toon or anything because, A. I wouldn't know where to begin. B. I just like to play more than I do try to sound like something lol. And most of my toons are female and I'm not, so that would pose a problem anyway.
*Thinking back to Southpark Episode of Wow*..... :)
Agreed with Ron. I mean it's really almost sad that people do this kind of thing. I mean honestly if you wanted a toon so bad... EBAY it! And then you can turn around and sell it for more. This is definitely a big issue that I'm sure we'll hear a lot more about in the upcoming years as more and more MMO's are being played.
I for one change my password every 2-4 weeks. I mean I'm not a freak about getting hacked or anything but I just don't want to have to redo every thing all over again.
Honestly I've pretty much always solo'd in WoW. Not because I didn't have RL/in game friends or w.e. But it's kinda for the soul fact that I like to be able to go here and do this and come back and not have to wait for someone to catch up or, "oh wait, let me repair really fast." Previously to 2.3 my gf and I rerolled alts and have lvl'd together for the most part... Let me clue you... Warrior and Mage aren't really the best combo... Esp if the war isn't prot lol.
But I do agree that there really needs to be a huge amount of "soloable" stuff for the people that only have a short amount of time to play, or that just hates grp'n, unless they have to for instances.
OHHH Tabula Rasa Would really love you for ever! And my NE Drood would too :)
As Far as your site. Awesome! I think ya'll are doing a great job on covering the latest and greatest for MMO's.... unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to play them all. Curse your work *shakes fist in anger* Then again if I didn't have work I wouldn't have $ to buy em so... I guess we're even!
..... There was just something about "spending real money to buy in-game..." stuff that I just don't get. Why don't you spend REAL money and buy REAL things?
Same concept as buying "gold" for WoW.... how stupid. But that's just my thoughts on it...
