many good points supa. The main downside to MMOs is that since they are based on a subscription payment model, they try to make you waste as much time as possible so you play more and thus pay more.

yeh i mean it's the same sort of accomplishment as when you win a scrim or something... that's one of the reasons i don't play WoW much anymore. It's fun as hell, but i don't play it because i get a greater sense of accomplishment winning a CS scrim due to skill than i do killing an NPC due to the countless days of played time my 40man group has put in. Just differences of opinion.

the good thing is that paying for an mmo monthly means that you can expect constant patches, bugfixes, new content, support and all that. If i could get regular new good content and decent customer support for BF or CS i'd sure as hell pay a monthly fee for them too.

I'm not talking about botched bugfixes that make shit worse or botched new content loaded with bugs, but what if they patch something against your favor? For example, say you have an ability and everyone whines "nerf!", and you get the hammer, now what? I'm positive it has happened before. This "updated content" model is fine if you're part of the majority.

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
