Yea, that’s the only thing I disliked about E-Uni was the war-dec thing. I had to wait about 4 days to get in and when they get dec’d you can’t run missions or anything like that, so I agree with Saylah :P Good to hear you’re having fun in Eve though. I LOVE the game, I just can’t play it for long periods for some reason. Maybe I haven’t found the right corp. It’s also missing things I would love to have in a space MMO, like cockpit flight and whatnot.

I thought I’d heard EVE Uni just got war dec’d. If that’s right it’s NOT the time for a noob to join. LOL Been there, done that and left. Other than that, yes EU comes highly recommended even though I never get around to applying when I re-sub.

Did you apply to Eve University, Tipa? They’re an EXCELLENT newbie-helping guild and have been around since Eve first began, I think. Look em up online for a quick peek, unless of course you’re completely satisfied with the corp you apped to :P

Hi, my name is Openedge1 and I am an STV hater..

Damn books!!

As to WoW and how it has influenced other games, I think people need to look beyond that, and see what their game offers that WoW does not..

Ah well…back to work.

Cheers

Why, of course I choose darn Darnassus for my banking alt. Why? Less crowded than the other alliance cesspools and the colorful surroundings really give some eyecandy compared to the dull Ironforge or Stormwind. But yes, I’ll be playing the game a bit different the next time I login to really play the game.

C out

I’m finding it odd that people are blaming WoW for their favourite game’s failings. Blaming players for not playing your game right is rather scraping the bottom of the barrel imo.

Also I was puzzled by Hudson’s notion that only people who raided in EQ are proper raiders (say what?). I never played EQ but I did play DaoC and I guarantee we had our fair share of rubbish players. And even the good ones would be given a run for their money by the best WoW and WAR PvPers.

Just to clarify a bit, I believe there will be a mechanic to win Land of the Dead back once you’ve lost it even if there is no-one to fight. My issue is that I don’t believe this is very ideal. Basically, with most of the winners inside Land of the Dead, the people left outside will not have many if any enemies to fight. That means the losers will be forced to engage in Realm vs. Environment to win back the new dungeon zone.

How is this fun? It worked in DAOC because there were three realms. One realm would control Darkness Falls, which left the other two to fight it out over who could control it next. Given WAR’s two realm mechanic, I don’t believe it will be nearly as fun.

Nnce the dungeon hits the game, it will be a see-saw battle back and forth. One side RvE’s to gain control, purges the dungeon, the other side RvE’s to gain back control, purges, etc.
