Ameliorate

Most MMOs these days shouldn't even have more than one server, they don't have the playerbase to justify it and they just serve to splinter the community. Even WoW has many more servers than it needs. The concept of "shards" or "realms" was created as a work-around to times when thousands of people couldn't connect to the same server, those days are gone, realms should be too.

A lot of my co-workers play MW2 and other Xbox games probably more than I play MMOs and RPGs, and they're from the stereotypical beer-drinking, sport watching, used-to-be-jocks-in-high-school crowd.

So gaming is a lot more mainstream and not just for nerds, like it used to be.

I can't bring myself to play Diablo 2 knowing that D3 is in the works, and that there are very nice, more modern, alternatives (such as Torchlight).

Also having trouble playing *any* MMO at the moment. I start playing X and thinking that Y does something better, so I play Y to find that Z does something else better, so I play Z to find that A does it better, ad infinitum.

Just waiting for an MMO I'll enjoy to come out... any year now.

EVE: Support for UI addons, a way to train skills online (in addition to offline), make mining less terrible.

I like threat to actually matter. If it isn't possible to pull the boss off the tank threat may as well not exist.

On a side note; please don't link stealth whines about Paladins and call it "eloquent". Especially when they go on to say in the comments section that the Hunters and Rogues he plays with won't use Tricks of the Trade or Misdirect unless asked too (WTF?) but he holds threat fine without them therefore using those abilities are a waste of time (Uhhhh...) but threat is fine and doesn't need to be made harder :/

Looks like CCP have never heard of unit testing...

I always liked Hellgate: London's achievements, such as the one to kill Sydonai (the final boss) with a cricket bat and the "I hate crates" achievement to destroy a certain number (1000 I think) of breakable items.

Other than that, what America is celebrating is pretty cool; I don't know any other country that celebrates the day they got attacked by UFOs.

@Streamweaver: You realise everything mentioned in that "Life and Death" devblog was implemented in Tyrannis, right?

This post is another great example of a stereotypical post that you'd see on an MMO forum.

That was satire, right?

"they certainly can't have a job or any time free to play the game itself"

This is the sort of comment one grows to expect being posted on MMO forums. Unfounded accusations about other people's lives are all the rage these days.
