Oh yeah, Nick was a great source, loved it. I suppose you know Richard Bartle too, OP; if you don't, you should really read his latest book (not the 4-archetypes model, the 8-archetypes one in "3D"...

I should rather begin by saying I'm not an American citizen, thus not totally familiar with the specific laws of this country. Neither with Common Law for that matter as my country (France) isn't...

LOL. I don't know anymore. HoroBoro's gone rogue and is now justifying lying to your PUG by invoking a chinese-flavoured Godwin-law, and not saying the truth about your friendships to your parents....

I agree. In my personal experience, both sides carry some truth. Games, online or not, are part of what we are as humans; there's a sound argument that it's a factor of the development of...

Good luck :)

Just a question though: do you have a lot of qualitative-oriented courses? Interested to know how american universities tackle the whole quantitative vs. qualitative studies these...

I did sports when I was younger, I lived in the Carribeans and did some sailing regatta (from windsurf to much larger boats with ~10 crew). Never won any though, eternal second :) A bit of skiing in...

In my world, yes. Most of the people I played with on a regular basis in MMO's (statics, guilds, etc.), met in-game or from RL, were quite honest, rather fair-play (there's the occasional exploit,...

/!\ We should use a single thread to discuss this. /!\
(as for every topic, for that matter)

Going all over the place helps neither the cause nor the discussion itself. :rolleyes:
This one was...

I'll just leave this here:

1. Increase the 1,000 characters limit, for other languages than Japanese, to 3,000 or even 5,000.
I’m assuming this is the reason why it’s set so low, since words in Japanese use much less...

Then you've clearly never done team PvP in MMO's, because I can assure you that it's much, much more complex than that, and much more specific (skills to use, timing, coordination…), to be really...

Oh ok :) good concern, though.

In all my raiding teams we had a rule that basically translates as "Useful TS" (from french).
It means: everybody must be SILENT during the fights UNLESS they have something battle-related to say...

That's true to some extent, because they loose something they got used to; but if they're good they would adapt pretty quickly as they know the mechanics. As for the mandatory use, as I said above...

Haha. Agreed! :)

Okay, wall of text incoming! On that specific issue, I can comment from first-hand experience. Please forgive me if anything I say is offensive, that is certainly not my intent. But I really think...

TL;DR at the end.



DBM for FFXIV will happen, regardless of opinions, because someone will code it as soon as add-ons are available. So will a DPS meter, and so on and so forth. For all these,...

Please consider the links I put in this post. There are very valid arguments. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/121105-Square-Enix-Hates-Viral-Marketing?p=1586275#post1586275

Haha. your vision of "real world" raiding is so out of touch. It's a joke.

Yes we brief, yes we debrief, but if we didn't communicate during the fights, we wouldn't kill many bosses, or it would...

It's just unrealistic to expect the hardest content in MMORPG's to be done efficiently, if at all, without VC. Coordinating 8 people, let alone 24, in a timely manner, just cannot be done by text. By...

From what I understood during the LIVE Letter, there will be a way to kick people who are DC/AFK. He didn't say that it would be all the time, and there will be vote system to enact the kick.

I totally agree.

I never lie though, if people wanna be jerks then they'll do that without me. I'd rather not play than having to cope with obnoxious individuals. And even if it's worse here than...

I've watched the LIVE Letter stream on Reinhardt's twitch channel (he was doing an awesome service of translation), and I think I remember quite correctly Yoshi saying something along the lines of...

Totally. As I said in this post. (lol, so many duplicate threads these days on this forum :p )

Personally, this is however why I prefer my first times with friends from my FC, because we can...

I'm sorry I didn't mean to be insulting but look at the facts: you admit to lie and then claim to have been truthful and not having lied? That's a flat out contradiction! There's just no debate here…...
