What is so wrong with the word orgasm guys? lol

I
have trouble imaginating my RSI having an orgasm... How would it be
represented in game? I used the word dizziness to illustrate what is
the visual effect of the cake. We can discuss more about male orgasms
and their visual aspects, but I don't think this is appopriate for this
forum.

Heh, that's so pre-CR2 SO3... Bring that up to the current environment.

It was a really nice article. Like LotekGhost said, focusing on what defines MXO on the market: Rarebit, live events and the storyline. I don't know what's the reach of this website but I hope many will read it!

Based on what Staticzero said to me, Trayen was the most diplomatic in helping to solve the conflict with the players in Abaddon. In my name and in the name of my faction, thanks.

Enjoy it, that might be the only place where you'll see Harpalos pvp!

((That's free CQ points for you good fighters...))

I'm watching this closely. They don't have the rights to the Shadowrun license, they are making this as a pitch for Microsoft who own the Shadowrun license (and in my opinion, have totally screwed with it with the FPS they are working on).

I've always said, if there's one game that would make me reconsider playing mxo, it's a Shadowrun MMO...

My picks, either for the gameplay required to defeat them or sheer coolness!

Shub-Niggurath - Quake
Dark Force - Phantasy Star series
Ganon - Zelda series
Zoda - Startropics
Sephiroth - Final Fantasy VII

This is indeed a sad moment... For us, who were waiting for a live
event for so long, and for SOE, who managed to make a serious mistake
which might cost them their player base.

The event isn't destroyed however. The enigma part is down, but that
doesn't mean that the event is useless now. There is still something to
do, if you consider what's written...

Franchise-based games has its advantages and its inconvenients. Taking a rich setting to base your story allows the developpers to focus more on development than creative writing. And fans of the license will be more curious to see what the company could have made with their favorite license. The real problem however is that this is not your universe, and you have to respect the property owner's will. I am fairly sure that MxO would have prefered to never have Morpheus dead. Or that some story elements brought by Chadwick might not always interrest them. But they have to comply. On another hand, if the gaming company own the setting (EQ or WOW for example), they have the disadvantage that they have to prove to the world that their environment is worth making an MMO from, and often, it's through an excellent gameplay that they will lure their players.

Here are my views on a few license MMO environments coming.

Lord of the rings : this is a no-brainer. Nearly everyone and their grandmother likes LOTR, especially since the movies have made it a mainstream icon, and not only a fantasy masterwork. If the gameplay is good, this will be terribly popular.
Warhammer : The tabletop miniature game isn't as mainstream in North America than in Europe, but this extremely rich license, full of colorful elements and a focal point on combat will probably make this game a good game for the lover of battles.
Age of Conan : Based on what I read, this will be the next MxO in term of appeal toward more mature roleplayers. When I show MxO to a roleplayer friend, what they say is wow, this kicks *CENSORED*. The Conan license isn't as appealing nowadays that it was when I discovered it when I was young and huh, wanted to be a barbarian myself, but the gritty style might make it a good "word of mouth" game, like MxO.
Star Trek : Nah... Not my cup of tea. Maybe great for trekkies fans that want to live like their favorite characters, but I fail to imagine this as a popular game to the common masses.

Hahaha, a good humor relief for a dark day LtDarkstar

Well, second unexpected departure of the day (sorry, hockey fan so I had to mention this SMILEY )

Walrus, will Raijinn share his work time with all SOE games like he apparently was doing?

No brainers :
-Link
-Mario

But I think my favorite will have to be The Nameless One, in Planescape Torment.

I do this only for Caillech...

Yes I'm level 22,
Yes it was taken april 14 2005,
Yes it's the same picture than my signature,
Yes I'm wearing the uniform of my first faction,

But this is still the most appropriate picture for Harpalos.

I confirm this one :

.....them soon. Bet your.....

He was indeed on Syntax. I stumbled into him in Tabor West and when he
figured that I was more interrested in him than his corrupted minions,
he started running. A crazy race followed through streets and
buildings, but after a minute of race he hyperjumped away, and I lost
him.

The images work for me in IE, but not in Firefox.

-Astro le petit robot (aka Astro Boy)
-Goldorak
And the king of all my childhood cartoons :
-Les mystérieuses cités d'or

(Bah, made a quick research and 2 out of 3 of them doesn't seem to have been translated to english. Sorry for my alienness!)

There is indeed no need of having players in the LESIG to play story
characters. This is not the goal of this program. The LESIG won't
supplement the LET, it will assist it. For example, in the current
event it could have been possible that the LESIG members would be asked
to share information on the streets about the importance of gathering
fragment messages, and even relay the info when the Oracle appeared.

Halloween event but with Agent virus instead of Zombie virus? That would be interresting!

It's sad to see an iconic Merovingian go.

Good luck, Luca.

Happy holidays, and thanks for what you do.

We were never friends, but I respect your strength of opinion and your sense of loyalty. We had our differences, but you still deserve my honest salutations.

Harpalos, Pre-release vet. /salute

Duh, in fact I noticed too late that it's a bad people thread... But yeah, I'll be there until the end probably!

Nice thread. Harp's a math buff, so lets answer that with naive answers. Note : I reread myself and it's not funny at all.

    1)    Hostile + Tactics = null
    In combat, the tactical intensity is inversely proportional to the level of hostility.

    2)    Pr(Catzi | Pylat) = 99.9%

    The probability value for Catzi to just go away is alas to low.

    3)    Draw the graph of the following:

                                                            x < -25        : LouCipher
                                                           -25 ≤ x ≤ -10 : ZRoe
    Let x = GamiSB is killed by   {         -10 ≤ x ≤ 0    : Pirathonite
                                                            0 ≤ x ≤ 15     : Reeverb
                                                            x > 15         : Himself

    4)    lim(x -> Infinitey) D3athBlad3 / x = _________

    As D3athBlad3 gets closer to have Infinitey fully under him, he'll get nullified.

    5)    Derive the following in terms of s: 1/3(Wolfesss) __________

    d/ds 1/3(Wolfe * s^3) = 1/3 * 3 * Wolfe(s^2) = Wolfess

    6)    Violence – Authority + Kanjo = _________

    Kanjo. Both initial variables are too insignificant to take in consideration for this equation.

    7)    Given the following triangle, what is the hypotenuse? _________

    Impossible. Beachhead and Leelia crossing doesn't results in a square angle. Contact with each other will produce a smooth angle.

    8 ) (-Omega Syndicate +/- (Omega Syndicate^2 – 4 (EPN) (Zion))^1/2) / 2 (EPN) = ________

    x, the unknown of the following quadratic equation :

    EPN x^2 - Omega Syndicate x + Zion

    In this case, we can see that whatever you throw at Zion and co, EPN will overreact, OS will try to distance themselves, and well, Zion will stay constant, being lost in confusion.

    9)    Espi / PWWWNNNNNTTT = ________

    0
    In my book, PWWWNNNNNTTT means nothing, so you'd better drop off the juvenile pvper-defined variable and start using real words.

    10)     Maximize (in terms of Brewko) Y = (Endomorph x Seymour x Disch0rd) + Brewko

    Vector Brewko->

    The partial derivative of this function is simply Brewko, since whatever he's doing, all 3 variables are constants (e.g doing trouble). To maximize this equation, the jacobian Matrix only holds one Vector : Brewko. So send Brewko on Vector will maximize his efficiency, instead of taking care of insignificant constants.

Quote of my October 18 post :

I played the trial for one week. I think I spent most of my time reading a book while playing a computer game. Having a ship travel for 10 minutes on autopilot without anything to do in the meantime didn't felt right for me. And the skill system is strange. Basically, you level for leaving your game running for days. The political structure of the game seems interresting however, but the gameplay wasn't really for me.

Like some other returning users here, I have many features which are currently blocked. Could I have them restored?

Thanks a lot

Japanese proverb

And V's soliloquy to the Old Bailey's statue of Justice, painfully absent from the movie. Quite long for a quote, but still...
Hello dear lady. I thought that it was time we had a little chat, you and I... I've been a fan of yours for quite some time... I loved you... as an ideal.

That was a long time ago. I'm afraid there's someone else now... your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know.

So goodbye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman that I once loved. Here is a final gift. I leave it at your feet.

This video is cruelty in my opinion. The wars of the future will be fueled by water, not oil. Check what these kids are able to do for a bottle of water. Imagine a nation. And by the way, yes, the solider threw the bottle at them. But nothing says that the running kid got his share of it. And I wouldn't find it surprising if a fight between them followed.

You don't play such games with water. The symbol is too strong.

They are nice, well, for zombies!

Broadcasting and posting the names of those who won an event, like the
previous is one thing. Especially when the participation prize is
interresting like this one. Giving a reward to a very very small
fraction of the player's base based on luck isn't a good thing.

Roleplayers are an envious bunch... Give a very good item to someone,
everyone will want to have it. Imagine a roleplaying game where the
only person who got the experience reward would be the one who dealt
the finishing touch to the enemy. This doesn't take in value for
those who made all the efforts weakling the enemy. I'm a writer in an
official worldwide campaign for a popular tabletop roleplaying game. In
this, every player is in competition between themselves. If I would
allow a material (in virtual sense...) reward, there would be jealousy.
Annoucning a winner is ok, since players can accept that someone got
better than themselves. But if there's a very good reward other than
recognition, it's not fair. As an experienced gamemaster and rpg story
writer, I would say that this was a bad idea...

It's a very cool reward however, and I hope that those few who got it
(even less than .01% of the player's base...) will appreciate their
luck.

/sign for the same reasons as Orien

That's a lot for an item, but you should have posted that on the server's marketplace section.

I think the LESIG will be in charge at the time of the next event ; this might make a difference.

Many great films in these, but I don't understand the reason to exclude Star Wars.

I play tennis or I read. I'm re-re-re-reading Maus at the moment. The serenity this book brings me is amazing.
