    I bought the digital deluxe edition of STO while it was in beta. By two weeks in I was sick of it for a variety of reasons, mostly that the only changes on the way for the foreseeable future were sticking everything they could possible think of into the c-store. I felt the game as it was was worth about $20 tops, and was going to take so long to get to a state worth playing, if it ever would, that I was going to cut my losses and unsubscribe, maybe coming back down the track to see if it had improved.

    When I cancelled my subscription there was a section asking why I had decided to unsubscribe.

    I wrote pretty much the above.

    Now they won't let me resub.

    $80 for 30 days of unfinished broken crap.

    Welp.

    Of course, to play a decent MMO I would also have to get around to buying a copy of Windows and dual booting my Mac. Which would require both money and effort.

    this is really why I'm not down for trying STO

    WoW is practically the only MMO with a mac client

    I think EVE has one too

    Bob said that she wanted to try an MMO to see what it's like.

    Not torture herself with a game that isn't really a game.

    I'm trying to nudge her to WoW you tactless baboons

    Why won't they let you resubscribe?

    You paid them money. You're willing to pay them more money. Did they ban your account?

    So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

    every attempt at resubscribing has been met by some shit about it being denied because of my account status.

    Christ yet another government eHealth initiative.

    I wouldn't mind these things except my father keeps giving me money and treating it as a record of employment and I can't convince him not to because I'm trying to finish a fucking Ph. D.

    He also doesn't realize that his software is an utter deadend (written in Microsoft Access. So no source code management, cross-platform possibility, basically would have to be made from scratch), and any time I personally spend on it is effectively completely wasted from almost every perspective. I mean he's got maybe 10 more years in his field - it isn't even profitable from an incentive perspective.

    Yeah I have never considered the monthly fee a big deal, because when I'm playing an MMO that is pretty much all I am playing game-wise

    So after the initial purchase it costs about as much as buying one brand new game every four months

    That's a pretty good deal to me

    that's my perspective on it, yeah.

    now if the game is bad, then obviously that is a problem. If Ryadic spent $50 on Conan and didn't get any fun from it, that is something to be pissed about.

    but people who are like "I played this game and had fun for only three months. this game is bullshit" just mystify me.

    drop the smokescreen

    we all know that mazzy being a gay man in america is what really gets on your nerves

    your facade fools no one

    Pre-ordering Conan was the best choice I ever made. I got the limited edition mount with my preorder.

    Fortunately you couldn't use it until a few levels in and wow that's all it took to see how bad that game was going to turn out

    sold that fucker on ebay and got my money back then never touched that garbage again.

    Is anyone excited for Star Wars: The Old Republic?

    After the debacle of Age of Conan I am very hesitant to jump on an MMO on launch date.

    But then again, Bioware does so many things right. I expect great things from this game.

    I see you can be a Sith Warrior in the game. Does this mean there will be opposing factions, akin to Horde vs Alliance from WoW?

    If so, I want to be a Sith Warrior. I always went evil in the KotOR games. It's just much more fun to choke people when they don't obey you.

    Instead of "These aren't the droids you're looking for," it's all, "DIIIIIEEEE!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

    I guess I should rephrase that

    It will be the Republic vs the Sith

    But you can go light/dark with either faction from what I can tell. Not sure exactly how that works but yeah. Basically you choose your initial faction but still get to do the Bioware decisions.

    Did you just make an H&A thread? Also, he needs to keep his gun in his hand. If ninjas attack while he is jogging, how is he going to get to his dog's backpack in time?

    And why is his dog wearing a backpack?

    I'm sure Bioware can make it work. That sounds pretty cool.

    I think I will probably end up getting this game on release if I have a PC by then. Right now, I don't think my laptop can play it and I can't really afford a decent desktop at the moment.

    I just really want to be apart of a successful MMO launch. AoC was not that game.
