i have a 700+ mb one lol....it's not even long it's 3 mins long and i made it in Adobe premiere(sp?)....i don't know how you make the files smaller , i was gonna have someone host it but i was like..omfg.

Btw i've played EQ and FFXI (i even bought a new vid card so i could play ffxi, because my friends said it was tight) ....EQ is so much better, it actually has different items, you don't run into too many people with the same sh!t, in FFXI there were like 10 different armor types , and i ended up getting the same armor at like level 30 that i had at 9?Gay. EQ>FFXI

BTW, WoW looks pretty tight considering the lush environments and such, ffxi looks mostly dead.

Edit: Also Lineage 2 got like 2 stars in CGW..i'm not saying that means it's bad...but i'm pretty sure even SWG got 2.5 lol...good luck

Nice pics, appreciated :)

Here's hoping this will be the first MMORPG since EQ to 'set the mood'...

Lineage 2 sounds like my nightmare of MMORPGS..griefing and kill stealing beyond belief, and some Chinese players actually get paid real money to raise in-game money and act as retarded as possible? And the lvl-grind is said to be something extra..*shiver*.

I always wondered how Shadowbane went...European version went kaput before release.

Word. When you spend enough time on ffxi, the game play and character development is so linear it's pathetic. Absolute trash. B-b, it looks cute and it's got moogles!

i don't think any mmorpg in the world has better graphics than lineage2. The creativity, music, scalability is unrivalled.

And WoW is too sheltered. Feels like it's for the pussy gamer imho. no risk of losing items, no risk of getting killed by other players, etc. Not too fun. I want to be able to be killed and kill other players, and play with the risk and challenge of losing and getting items.

ffxi has a great trade and party system, but that just makes the game a bit too easy and not challenging, but the game was very convenient and innovative.

I don't think WoW really gives anything new to the mmo table. Then again, this is just from what i've read from other people's testimony about the game, so I could be wrong, but so far from what I've heard, I'm not impressed at all


WoW PvP server introduced just one week ago (Phase 3). I'm not going to fight with ya about it though, the low blows and blantant generalizations tipped off my pvssy gamer alert beacon to jump ship! :D

I cannot compare WoW to Lineage 2. I only know what I read and hear from friends since WoW beta is my first MMORPG experience. I do know that I have lost much interest in WoW recently. Perhaps MMORPG's are not for me. Perhaps it is a bad game. I am frequently disappointed by Blizzard in their development process. I fully agree with you on WoW being sheltered. That was a major design decision by Blizzard. It is evident in many of the gameplay decisions and interviews with developers. I let my friend play my beta account who used to play ShadowBane and he got so turned off by the PvP system and gameplay that he couldn't continue playing. There are many major problems in the game right now though we have to keep in mind that this is still a beta. They have allowed themselves pretty much the rest of the year to continue development and things could change still. While it is easy to judge the game in its current unfinished state, it really isn't a fair evaluation of the game so while I state I am disappointed right now, I am reserving final judgment until later.

I added a Bittorrent link to a video capture which shows a full Alliance raid on a town!

I would honestly rather play Oregon Trail than the monstrosity that is L2. I love PvP but by God you have to have some fun gameplay to go with it. I'm really looking forward to WoW. Blizzard has never disappointed me and some recent news has given me hope that they are opening up the PvP avenues a little wider. I doubt they'll go so far as item dropping on death but who cares. If you lose your items it just leads to more PvE catassing which I'd prefer to avoid.

Why do you tease me so, I thought WoW was going to be out soon, but looks like it most likely won't be out until 2005?

I would buy a whole new computer if they did that.

Youd probably have to since battles take place on planets between different solar systems. I'd want to be either a ghost or a wraith pilot. As you can tell I looooove my cloaking!

My torrent started slowly also, but it gradually picked up speed. Within a few hours, I had the whole file.
