A warning to the makers of MMORPGs

You may be approached by a young lady flaunting the name of Errant who will appear to be your most devoted and hopelessly addicted of followers. She will lavish time, attention, love and obsession upon your product. She will make you believe that you are her moon and her stars. She will eat, sleep and breathe your vision....

I`m playing WoW now and enjoying it. I bought eve, but cancelled right away. I spent three days playing and just thought, I don`t have the fucking time. Why make it so involved. I want to pay and play. Give me the involved a bit later.

WoW has its problems too. i played FF11 for a while also, and some parts were brilliant, especially hanging out in the grass trying to stalk some beasty that could easily kill you if you didn`t get a good start on it. The auction house was great too. Levelling took too long though. Ultimately that`s where it failed.

So WoW. Graphics sometimes fuck up. Not much chatting. I think MMORPGs are still in their infancy. You should be able to move your character around servers. There should be some way to make people play together.

I haven`t played anything that was as good a PSO for Dreamcast. The actual game was mediocre, but when you played online it was awesome. Didn`t seem to work on the gamecube so well, or I was bored of playing by then.

What are your thoughts? (I have noone to talk to about these things)

Who is this Errant?


All the best

In limbo between man coming to collect DVDs and receiving funds for le beast. Keep having odd moments where I wonder whether I've been ripped off in some cunning scam that has been running since 2001 and requires the scammed to actively seek out the scammers by remembering the name of the organisation from years ago and go scanning the backs of respected film journals...

Yeah I am doing an essay on IP for my dissertation. biggrin

Good luck with the PC
creamygoodness:
Yeah, yeah, I know. In my defence I can only say that I'd heard nothing but good things about the film, goddamned internet nerds.

Oooh, beastly PCs, DV cams, film-making, sounds like exciting things are afoot.

Er...

Belated happy new year...

The resolution goes forth but never have the words of Tyler Durden rung clearer: The stuff you own ends up owning you.

Here's the decision.

I'm sat watching a DVD the other weekend and my friend tells me he's emigrating to Australia in six weeks. This is my best friend. Known him over a decade. One of the few people...

^^ it's all true *looks at massive CD collection and dusty guitar* except in MY case, obviously blush

I think I know exactly where you're coming from. I wish you all the luck in the world with, and wish I had the guts to do something similar with my music blush

Anyway, good to see you're ok mate. I've made the promise to visit London a bit more often (yes, again whatever ) so we might meet up again fairly soon, eh? smile
silveronthetree:
Get rid of it all, I mean except for a choice few, you never see them again and you just lend them out and they disapear anyway.

Good move

I'm not having a life away from the site, except in a 'having to crowbar the gf off Eve Online to get anywhere near the darned thing' way.

All is well, ears are happy. CD Swap was a very good idea. I would urge all who can participate to do so next time.
