Hey this game is still alive.... With only one server remaining.
Well the patch notes should be interesting to the many dozens that still play.
WAR had such huge potential. I even gave them over a year to fix their problems, but was then hit with the billing fiasco and just decided to quit this thing. If they can't get their billing right, how can you expect them to actually improve their gameplay or have any semblance of balance?
$19 gets you the lowest memory card out there. I would have wanted at least 8GB. Still, even at $19, added on to the $250 AND with tax it will already be over what I paid for my 3DS and 5 games.
I have a budget and it's only $300. My wife is cutting back on shoes, and I'm cutting back on Videogames :-).
3DS does have the games I want. Every single 3DS game I bought is great, and Mario 3D as well as Zelda are simply masterpieces. I have always been a Sony fanboy and never really played Ocarina of Time or get too involved in Mario. So now I am experiencing these games and characters for the first time and am loving every moment of it. Sonic is great as always and Ghost Recon is a nice change of pace from my other games. I will also be getting Resident Evil for the 3DS next month when I have a bit more cash (or faster if it goes on sale for less than $30).
I am happy with my choice. It's about time to jump ship anyway. I can't keep blindingly supporting a company that keeps sticking to its own expensive formats (Ps Vita card) instead of a well established and much cheaper format (SDHC and the Micro variants).
At least the 3DS has a cool gimmick. Honestly after playing Mario Land in 3D I can't wait until more 3D titles arrive on the scene. It really is that good. I am willing to say that the handheld game is now firmly resting in my top 5 videogames of all time, and is sharing that title with legendary games like Skyrim and Portal 2.

Not really, just saying how I got it and where. That information should always be included in all posts. I hate the ones that spout off random BS and give no evidence to back up their claim.
Very cool. Looking forward to this. I played a while back and "beat" the game. I heard they added a lot more things and fleshed out the Klingon faction.
@(Unverified) I meant to say its a good demo in the sense that it lets you access a lot of the games content, but not in any other way. The fact that they limit your gear and spells in these ways make it a poor demo as well.
Sorry. I get -1 for proofing :-)
I would rather they limit the areas we could access but have use of all our gear/spells. Then we could purchase area unlocks, etc. Paying $8 just to put on a few pieces of gear you found is ridiculous. Purely ridiculous.
This game is not free to play at all. Not at all. It is just a big demo, and a poor one at that.
It is the only free to play game on the market that actually limits the players effectiveness vs both PC's and NPC's by forcing the player to PAY to equip the items and use the spells they find while questing.
I came back, got on my level 83 character and couldn't even swap some gear that I had previously acquired. I needed to purchase "unlockers" on a per gear/spell basis just so that I could use the items I found.
Check it out to see how they really limit you and why this is the worst free to play game out there. It's a good demo, but it is NOT a full game in any way.

This is a horrible way to run a F2P MMO.
Moreover threads started on the SOE forum regarding this result in flames and closing of said threads. Here is a good one from Steam: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=6204fa9fbbfe16c32b82c217f0bd22d9&t=2280046
