Quote:You are reading way to much into what it nothing more than a video game message board comeback.
Can't you come up with anything better than THAT stupid old "insult"? It's irrelevant now and you know how wrong such a charactirization is, so quit it... I guess you'd rather just repeat the same old insult over and over, though. It's gotten well past the point where it's a valid point, now I just consider it a personal insult/troll... as it is... It's your choice to act like that, but it's stupid. Now, this time you could try to say I started it. But that was only partially serious, and the part that was serious was a direct response to things you said recently.
Or in short, Really, can't you think of anything better to say than "Gauntlet!!11 Cruis'n!!!11"?
So then, how about we just stop it and talk about Guild Wars... I don't want this thread ruined too...
Quote:Oh and, lots of MMORPGs keep your characters indefinitely. This isn't exactly one of those mind you, I'm just saying that games like WOW and such keep character data on their servers no matter how long you've had your account actually CANCELLED OUTRIGHT. By contrast, Square-Enix will delete characters 3 months after the account they are assigned to was cancelled. It's popular because it's Final Fantasy, meaning a lot of the players have no idea that that is NOT a standard practice, so they don't know enough to realize they should be complaining.
Yes, a popular name will make something more popular, most of the time. Of course. And yeah, not all games delete characters... some do, though, and it's not a nice "feature". I know why they do it (to save server space), but it's annoying... oh yeah, and I think it's a fairly common practice, DJ.
Quote:Anyway, as you may or may not realize, I've done a lot of background research on these types of games, just trying to figure out what each one offers and such. I've only played a few thanks to generous friends and/or open betas though.
They have good and bad points, but are fun in some ways... I'd probably have one, if they didn't have monthly fees. I just can't spend that much on one game. And GW has no fee and is really, really fun, so... :)
