i'll admit, this is a concern to my heroic demon mm who is trying to fight protean, she knows to dodge the stupid power siphon, but getting the stooges to get back in time is painful.

thematically, coh didnt fly in korea(no pun intended), superheroes as we know them arent a big thing in korea/china, a city of manhwa(think thats how you spell the korean manga equivalent) would get me subscribing, but one that would have any chance of bringing in revenue like "that game" would have to be significantly different than what we are playing now.

ad ya know, f2p doesnt exactly hold the terror to em that it does to some. it kind of is the market for mmos that are not the big gorilla, so long as i can maintian my expereince unhindered for staying a monthy subscriber, i'm cool with opening up the game to f2p, just keep me gold, i'm paid till the middle of next year. f2p meant something different back in the day, things changed, the market changed.

lets not forget that another gigantic game released its expansion in december too. i wish the numbers were higher, but so far coh has had 2 "killers" marginally affect revenue and the 800 lb gorilla drop 3 expansions on its head it, while diminished, still is fairly stable.as my friend pointed out to me, this is the first quarter this year that didnt have gr preorder cash possibly factored in (lets face it, we are all guessing here) its still solid. i suspect more boosters may come, they seem to have some meat on their bones.


EDIT: ooops, eiko is right, i forgot how long dc was delayed, ah well, one in genre competitor and one out of genre giant, i suspect that that while the game is not in our genre, the expansion was still a big concern to every mmo, and the relatively unchanged nature of the revenue indicates that it didnt sit on us.

not seeign rudeness, maybe some slight edge, but do you really think your posts and those of the equally strident solo-only players lack a similar or more aggressive edge?

in other words...the cake is a lion?

the devil does like big hindmosts and he cannot lie, HUH!

you sound like me when i was hoping that a specific bethesda game would reintroduce polearms, led to me not enjoying a good game because i hyped myself up for an unreasonable hope. there is a reason i try to keep expectations managed, because getting worked up only serves to leave you crestfallen, and you can wind up angry over something you never had a rational reason to expect in the first place.

my guess is that the <redacted> pack hinted at would not be the next one so getting people worked up over it now would just serve to deflate the enthusiasm over the enxt few packs (maybe a steampunk-victorian one or a supernatural Gothic one?) that said, when they get around to the <redacted> pack i will be so <redacted> excited that i will <redacted> my <redacted> over it. will also buy it in an instant.

anachronistically so.

he kept changing personalities.

oh, and re. this pack....i suspect i may jsut be inclined to purchase it, haven't made up my mind, but its a possibility.

signed, or at least give us chainsaws for dual blades.

well, kinda, if you read all the way down, for boys its less effective. not detrimental, just kind of neutral. the effect seems exclusive to girls. better than neglect though.

you honestly dont see why excessively hyperbolic statements like this are stupid? there is no server "full" of catgirls, one server has a reputation for having several players with catgirls, it is not full by any reasonable means, and furthermore, the standard catgirl you see (outside of thsoe doing homage to the batman/spiderman characters) is more an anime thing than a furry thing, the nekomimi is generally a human looking girl with a cat tail, cat ears placed on the top of their heads and maybe fangs when smiling, thats it. its a stylized art thing but by no means what one would really consider "furry", its otaku. by definition werewolves are far more "furry" than that, since they are fully animalistic, rather than just wearing 2 cute accessories.

look, civilization is rife with uses of animals to exemplify specific virtues associated with them, sneaky people are "Snake-like, lions for bravery, wolves for fierceness, dogs for loyalty, dragons for power and majesty, et cetera, its not some silly subculture that a group of morons on the internet decided they would act excessively stupid about, its something indelliably woven into our cultural dna. Rather than making asinine assumptions of people's motivations based on a few idiots online, look at the full cultural backdrop of things, you will be better informed and less likely to make a fool of yourself.
