I wouldn't give those jerks a dime. Pre-NGE FTW!!!

Wow. A note guaranteed by the national government is now equal to a virtual PRETEND piece of gold created by a programmer. I wonder if the bankers have crashed their servers yet, trying to assess the amount of new currency that's just been dumped into their market.

This is a truly epic clusterf*ck my friends.

I would argue that this is the inevitable evolution of online gaming. Consider WoW and it's 8,000 clones - is there really any skill involved in clicking the Attack button and killing 10 rats, then 10 badgers, then 10 wolves? This is the exact same thing without pretending to be a full game, and, more importantly, WITHOUT THE SUBSCRIPTION.

Now people can play and compare their little kingdom to their friends just the same as comparing their new armor set for their online character - FOR FREE. Granted there are exceptions in the MMO genre (Eve Online), but for the most part, MMOs themselves should be under pressure to have more content and more excitement in the next generation. Therefore, it's good for online gaming and good for the gamers.

Here's hoping the corporate machine takes notice and ups the bar on online gaming before trying to charge me $15/month to play their game.

We must retrieve the beta key at all costs. Engage.
