Waitaminute.... EVE is a good game now? It sucked bad in beta.
Might still suck, depending on what you think sucked in beta.
Well, in beta is was the most boring, slow-paced game I had ever tested, and I've tested quite a few.
I know they've made some changes since beta. I just didn't know if they made is suck less than it did.

MMORPG.. last time i said the RPG i got flamed for forceing my play style on other people... c i thought it was an MMORPG. can the casual gamer get a MMO-GRIND&GET game and let "us" keep our MMORPG's.
I knew it went to ell when I saw a bio that said- Im a power player, I play to be Uber you try to roleplay with me I'llbeat your silly toon.
a concept lost on me is a solo power player playing a mmorpg.. Its not lost on me why they like it, it is just lost on me that they pay $15 monthly to do it,.. or why they even bought a MMORPG wich by deffenition is aginst such aplaystyle
just my 2cr.

Games are being dumbed down so much.
Anyone play the remake of conker for xbox? its alot shorter, and a whole bit easier than the original.
Long engrossing games (20+ hours) are being phased out in favor of short, flashy, easy win games.
True RPGs are being phased out in favor of million hour mmos that require little more than patience.
I remember playing UO and being so happy after the weeks of getting my first gm proffession, now in games like wow and swg, you can max out the game in that same time.
It cannot be helped, as gaming is becoming mainstream, but I am sad that the challenge is leaving the industry,
