I dunno. I've got the 1st kindle and still love it. It's a little small but battery life is awesome. Love the thing. Will this has a cell modem in it? That's a feature I didn't realize was going to be that important.

What you missed in The Matrix Online pt. 2

You see little things in EQ2 sometimes. GMs will show up and hand out a couple interesting little quests. Nothing that advances the story line of course, and I don't think they're ever big scheduled things. But it's such a breath of fresh air to know that you don't quite know what's happening, which is a lot of the draw I guess.

See, for me it comes down to exactly one problem:

framerate

All that custom content, even on a slick gaming rig makes for an abysmal user experience. I just can't seem to get past the fact that everything's choppy and slow.

This'd get me to load DDO on my box for a casual hit now and again definitely.

MMO racism: the No Elves! movement picks up steam

Jun 11th 2009 11:39AM (Massively)

This is pretty cheap.

Anyone remember Talislanta? No? Guess I'm old.

Their whole marketing hook was "...and no elves" in the 80s and 90s.

Sure, these guys can do it and it's ok. But it's like thinking the music behind "ice ice baby" is original.

Yeah. Keep microtransactions on specific servers. Let people play the game without 'em if they want.
