    Uhh, don't even think about making a soccer mmorpg, seriously.  They expect this thing to somehow roll in the money? 

    I know people have to work somewhere putting their programming and artistic skills to use but come on.  Get a job at Blizzard, Mythic, or Cryptic, anywhere else. 

    Pretty useless to spend years of your life working on something like this that has so little marketability in todays mmo environment.

    Seems to me the change from traditional fantasy based mmo's has drifted to sci fi (SWOR, STO etc.) and post apocolyptic fallout, fallen earth type stuff, these devs. are wasting their time. 

    It's going to sink.

    Nah people just download because they wouldn't pay for it anyways, sure a few people would end up buying it eventually if they couldn't pirate but on the whole it's because of money issues. My friends are at Uni and all low on cash so download games because they just can't afford to buy them all. The problem is now though multiplayer games are the ones people tend to buy because you ened cd keys to play online.

    
     

    Pirating games  = Theft

    No if someone was giving out free razors in the pub and you took one, that isn't theft but it's the person whose distributing it that's doing the crime.

    Okay to clarify how stupid John's above post is, if someone is giving away free downloads of Fallout 3 and you accept don't even try to say it's their fault.  It's like blaming the car industry alone for global warming when  you yourself are sitting in the drivers seat of the very car or truck that is supporting the industry.
     

     

    Give me a break to those that download games and don't pay for them and don't even pretend you're not to blame, get some morals.

• • GOA broke WAR. Can't log in

  • What is the GOA? 

    Reason i'm asking is because i had some weird issues with the patcher after beta closed.

    I was in beta since June of 08 and when the game launched i bought the digital download from EA, but when i'd go to launch the game i'd never get past the patcher.

    With ridiculously slow downloading which took me over 30 hours to download (which is very odd for my DSL download speeds) and the patcher failing with no real resolution from EA i asked for my money back which they said they would refund (still waiting on the money to get refunded).

    Problem for real is that i liked the game and knew right from beta that i'd want to play it.

    I couldn't get the problem resolved for over a week and never got to play again.

    Just thought i'd see if maybe there was still hope if i bought a CD and tried it with a new master account or something. 

    I gave up though and went to play Hellgate London which may close soon, and also CoH/CoV which is a different playstyle but a well made very social game.

    Sorry for ranting, hope you can get in game again, great world Mythic has there.

• • no email to activate my account

  • I'm in in America and i'm in the same boat, no email verification and i just fail at the patcher, i try to contact them and there is no way besides their EA website and i get a response two days later from some Indian guy that doesn't even respond with what i'm talking about in the first.  I'm just trying to figure out how to get my money back now, which looks like it can't happen.

    I did this from a digital download and got no email verification for three days or so now, i give up on this, it's too unprofessional to deal with them.

• • Problem with starting the patcher

  • 

    Well at least some of you guys can get in, i've been stuck at authentication failing and failing to patch at all for days now, i preodered and can't get even past the patcher.

    Well that blows my impression of what a decent launch this was going to be. 

    What kind of mess is this?  DaoC was easy to patch and get playing, same with WoW and all the rest of the games i've played.

    I'm thinking of heading back to CoH/CoV where at least i can play the damn game, if i can't get in this week i'm wondering if i'll even be able to get my money back.  Digital download so maybe, this has taken the steam out my hopes fast.

    Got no idea what in the hell they're possibly doing or have done that disallows even the patcher to run.
