Ok, I feel really dirty. I'm currently downloading WoW to do the free lvl 1-20 so that when someone says about SWTOR "so it's like in WoW", I'll be knowledgeable on the subject. I'm scared...

LOL

I got to level 6. I don't think I can play anymore. It just feels so primitive. I'm actually confident that SWTOR can dethrone WoW now...

It IS primitive.  It's going on 7 years old now.  it's like Madonna: yes, it was hot in it's prime, and it's aged pretty damn well, but there comes a point where all the nips and tucks can only hide so much.

For all the fun it is to heap abuse on WoW, I played it and enjoyed it as an outstanding RP vehicle for close to 2 years.  I've yet to come across any MMO since that as as nearly conducive to RP.

Hey Lits! I'm gonna be going down to SD this weekend! I'm not sure if the people I'm going with will want to take a detour, but it would be awesome if we could find a way to chill even for like 10 minutes!

Nice marker! I am going to guess that it is a Proto Matrix, though all the Proto lines look alike. How much did the whole setup cost?

07 pmr, 70/4500 crossfire, vl3, and invision3 mask for 250 shipped. Have a metal backcap, new trigger, trigger guard, and deadlywind cf 14" barrel on the way. Am considering  buying a new board, but want to see how the new trigger feels in case I want to get the ul frame. Definitely need a rotor, I hate the view loader.

I really would have loved to have gotten a newer rail or ego, but wanted everything under 250, so that would have been difficult.

If you got the money get a new board and connector wires.   Also how light of a gun do you want, isn't  it already super light?

Actually, the UL frame is heavier than this frame - odd, I know. Yes, this thing is super light as it is - 1.14lbs. That's the same weight as the SLG that came out about the same time. I would be interested in the UL frame because it allows for more options when it comes to triggers and more importantly, boards. I would love a virtue oled, which can only be put in the UL frame. Luckily, this board's default modes are reasonable for a while while I determine how much money I want to drop into it.

City of Heroes is like.. 100x more conducive to RP. The Virtue server is the "unofficial" RP Server and the majority of players there are very into RP. There's some sort of Supergroup Event every week (beach party, costume party, Disco party), there are tons of places to get together, customizable faction bases, multiple costume/clothing options...

My old Virtue character.  Played for a few months during a break from EVE.

CoH is definitely the next most conducive game to RP, but it had a few drawbacks.  First, back when I played, there was no ability to walk.  You ran everywhere.  This got changed, I think, but it was still something that took away from the experience. Second, sitting was annoying as hell.  You had a variety of positions, but none of them were made to synch with the furniture like WoW did, so I always spent half of my conversations trying to hit juuuust the right spot on the chair to look like I was sitting on it, not floating. Last of all, all the RP happened in Club D.  That might not be the developers fault, but pretty much the only time I ran into active RP going on, it was in the D.  Out in the world, RPing just got some funny looks and silence.

I could say that having the proper guild probably would have changed that, but that's true of any MMO.  In WoW, I was always stumbling across new RP and making friends outside of my guild because of it.  Maybe I was just lucky, though.

Edit:  Gad, I picked songs for a soundtrack for him?  I am SUCH a nerd.

Is there going to be open world PVP in TOR like there was in MXO?

Dentist - "You need to floss more"

Patient - "Oh?"

Dentist - "Yes, when I probe your gums they bleed, that's a sign that they're not healthy."

Patient - "Or it could be that you're jamming a sharp metal object into soft flesh."

Yes. Similar, anyway

This is so fishing true!
 I completely stopped flossing for like 6 months and went in and the dentist said that same thing.
 So for the following six months before my next appointment I flossed after every meal and upon waking up/going to sleep.
 Next appointment the lady said, "It seems you still haven't been flossing enough."

 So now I just do it when I feel I need it or after eating steak, jerky, etc.
Dentists are whores.

 Unless one of you is a dentist. Then you are a high priced hooker instead.

Why, back in my day, we roleplayed in a little game called Ultima Online.  Not because we liked it, mind you we did, but because it was expected!  It was a roleplaying game, dagnabbit, and we roleplayed!
Everywhere you looked, there were "thees" and "thous" and other assorted ye olde englishe spoken from the arse.
We roleplayed to our quests uphill in the snow both ways, which you know is darn good roleplaying when there is no snow, there are no hills, and there aren't even any quests!

EDIT:  Also.. I'm sure Erathaol will appreciate this. I have it hanging in my office. ;)


The cloth map that came with UO. The pewter pin is in the center of the "o" of the UO logo bottom left. :)

Hahaha Erathaol has that about a foot from his face at his computer.

Oh my goodness, it has Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones, Jason from Trueblood, Abed from Community, River from Firefly, and Steve Zahn. Plus the whole idea of it! Uh, heck yes!
