To answer the main question, No. I play Galaxies now. Strangely enough I enjoyed that more than WoW. Even after the NGE. Then again, I was sustained by the space game. ...all the bad stories ive heard about how galaxies has "descended into mm...  [Read More]

See that's the thing.. Jumping is pretty well useless except in FPS type games where aiming is very important. I mean like headshots versus backside shots. Of course personally for an MMO I don't think that would work too well. Essentially so long as...  [Read More]

You can't in any of Bioware's other MMOs, so it'll be a coin toss :p Which other MMO? hehe just teasin. Yeah seeing as how there wasn't even jumping in MassEffect, it might be a stretch to see FPS like jumping. I don't know if it would be a bad th...  [Read More]

If they have the squishy boot sound, I'll be giddy. It seems like they are doing a lot of good things for this mmo. I like that you don't have to have the "ramp" to go up a short ledge. That'll make it a bit more "real" to me. N...  [Read More]

For PC creation, I think it would be nice to have somewhere in between Galaxies and Mass Effect PC creation. ME was almost too face oriented, and if we took it down a bit and added a few body tweaks from Galaxies, that would work out nicely....  [Read More]

No offense, but I sincerely hope they don't do as you have described. To give you some idea how little I like it, I'd rather take POST NGE SWG classes to that. Even they had more diversity. You make it out as if being born to the Republic as oppose...  [Read More]

A person making over $250k a year employs people. He might buy a new car every year. If it's a foreign(made) make, it at least gives money to the dealership in the US, as well as to the sales person. If it's a domestic(made), the benefits are obvio...  [Read More]
