Graphics <u>are</u> definitely not it<u>s</u> strong point.
Couldn't resist it.. Sorry...
Anyway this really sounds nice:
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->- Massively multiplayer gaming at the wheel of your combat automobiles
- A uniquely destructible world where you can destroy everything that moves (and most things that don’t)
- Realistic effects! The Havok 2™ physics engine makes jumping ravines, smashing through barriers, and sending buildings crumbling to the ground - incredibly realistic
- Unique mission system—level up while playing, rather than playing to level up
- 3 distinct player races, each with an individualized, epic mission campaign
- Unprecedented world map system minimizes travel time and maximizes actual gameplay
- Intricate handcrafted map generation—highways, enemies, and spontaneous world map events allow for virtually limitless replay ability
- Highly scripted scenarios: solo, group, and common areas
- Gain fame in the arenas, create wealth by trading, or complete missions to advance your standing <!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
Hmm... Yammy..
I don't get it. What?
"OMG SHE'S UGLY SHE DOESN'T HAVE AN ANGULAR FACE AND INSTEAD OF A PORNSTAR SHE LOOKS LIKE A CRACK ADDICT! OMG! WORST GAME EVAR!!!!"
Way to pay 245 dollars US for level 60, chuuuuuuummmmmm-p.
Unless, of course, there are no levels and experiance points... but otherwise, it seems like it's just another PlanetSide. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Yes, because blindly making fun of a game because it is pay to play is so in right now(not).
It's the paying for the LEVELS and paying to have fun i dont agree with.
How much money do you have to shell out before you reach and access a high character level, the good equipment, and new areas?

THIS is what i dislike about every MMOG out there. THIS is what is wrong with game design. THIS is what makes a game un-fun. Sitting in front of the computer screen trying to gain enough "Levels" to get access to that new and better armor, or that shiney new gun. You make as well punch in your credit card number to get access to it, because you're going to have to spend money to get levels, to get the gun...
Instead of paying money to maintain the server, all the while you use the gun and the armor to frag some of your homies.
Clear why i dis MMOGs now?
For example: The funnest moments in WoW are spent doing Instances, or Raids. The best times in FFXI are that of missions. The best time I had in CoH was doing missions. Same with questing in EQ2.
I mean sure, its great to level up and get that next piece of armor and the such, but man, some of us LIKE those stats. If you don't like stats-based gaming, fine, but don't diss us for it. Hell, even the famous Deslock(of D&D and many other game's fame) said so in the newest issue of PCG.
That's a bad thing? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Maybe they'll do it better than PlanetSide could.
Anyone who thinks that the girl on that page isn't at least /cute/ (Or could be if she were real) is very strange.
1 billion exp for a total level of 100 can give a good feeling of accomplishing something. But what if it was 1 billion exp for a total level of 50, with 50 more levels left to go? And when you reach level 50, there's nothing left to do? What if when you reach level 30, there's nothing left to do?! And if you have to keep doing the best possible thing you can do, over and over? (mephisto runs to get equiment in Diablo 2; Baal runs to get masses of experiance for advancement)
You have the main town on the coastline. The farther you go into the middle of the island, the bigger your numbers will get. Ok, that's fun. But what happens when you find a GAP in the numbers, a point where it goes flat for a while. Think of a line graph. The higher it goes, the higher the level, over time.

(Character Advancement Chart: Level on the Y axis, Time on the X axis; assume that every PIXEL on the Y axis is also different enemy... i new enemy for every level.)
- Some games use the Yellow line; a quick and direct route to the maximum level. You fight lots of different enemies, and advance quickly. Few MMOGs fall here.
- Some games use the Green line; a slow begining, but that quickly picks up later on. Some MMOGs fall here.
- Some games use the Red line; a stop-go pattern of character advancement. Players get stuck fighting one type of enemy for a while. This causes boredom and my general disrespect towards MMOGs. Most MMOGs fall here.
In a post-apoc. enviroment, we can assume that resources will be scarce, enemies will be plentiful, and that the powerful will always win. So, it falls between a Green line and a Red line, with a Yellow line somewhere at the start.
"hey guys I've got this idea for a game!"
"a game? pfff I won't like that because it has pixels and therefore because it has pixels it'll play like ridge racer 50"
