I believe there are around 15 million total subscribers including lapsed accounts. Could be wrong though.

Post by: tiesto on January 22, 2008, 05:16:11 PM: I'm a major fan of offline RPGs but still can't for the life of me find the appeal in MMOs... take the most mundane aspects of traditional RPGs, and add a healthy dosage of social delinquents to converse and interact with, a total lack of interesting combat, and an insane time commitment to make any sort of progress. I've seen lives be either compromised or outright ruined due to MMO addiction...

GOD HAND :bow

Post by: T234 on January 22, 2008, 05:25:22 PM: A lotta offline jappatard stuff just feels dead to me. When you run with a good guild, you don't really have social problems. Unless you're in a city or the barrens, in which case you usually have typed diarrhea scrolling on left side of your monitor.

Post by: T234 on January 22, 2008, 05:38:31 PM: This is not to say I don't play JRPG's, but I'm VERY selective of what I play.

EDIT: Only the ones with the very most interesting worlds are inserted into mah consoles.

Post by: Smooth Groove on January 22, 2008, 07:17:52 PM: Not surprising at all. PC gaming has been growing just as much as consoles. It's scary how much money PC gaming has been lost to piracy. PC games in other genres shoudln't sell that badly even if just 10% of the Warcraft community play other games, which is a very conservative estimate.

I know she does, and it eats me up inside. If she offered to play with me, I'd be up for it. :hyper

Post by: T234 on January 22, 2008, 08:46:14 PM: Ask her what server she's on. If it's Tichondrius, and horde, I can show you a few things.

Don't do this to me. I can't start playing this.
Title: Re: 10,000,000
Post by: T234 on January 22, 2008, 09:22:57 PM: Do the trial. If, after that, you actually hate the gameplay, feel free to never play the game again.

If she is on a RP server, don't bother.

Title: Re: 10,000,000
Post by: CajoleJuice on January 22, 2008, 09:55:53 PM: I could probably find out if I read through her blog. I'm pretty lazy, even when it comes to e-stalking.

so this is guild a RP guild or whatever they're called http://www.aie-guild.org/

nevermind, seems that they're not

Yea, still not playing this.

Roleplaying is appreciated and encouraged, but not a requirement. Guild policies apply to both in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) activities.

In guild chat, it is recommended that you make it clear whether your comments are IC or OOC. This can be done with quotes, parenthesis, or leading slashes to indicate IC comments. Unless it is clear that a comment is IC, it is assumed to be OOC.

lol this game is scary

Post by: T234 on January 22, 2008, 10:10:45 PM: I just went through a hell of lot of time going through her blog to find out that she plays a lot of different chars.

Post by: T234 on January 22, 2008, 10:12:03 PM: Stop pussin out and just ask her man. It's not weird for wow people to ask each other what server they're on FFS.

Post by: T234 on January 22, 2008, 10:17:14 PM: Putz. I thought you were serious, man.

I'm deadly serious. Try this game out.

Don't RP though, it's for people who either have a pussy or don't ever get any of that particular body part.
