The forum keeps forgetting me. With the old forums, I'd never have to log back in. I have to log in every day I visit now.

Couldn't figure out where to post this one. Is it possible to timestamp the chat log?

btw, I'm running Windows. Though I did have a problem with a walk click bug (check bug forum) on my old computer with an S3 integrated video

In reference to Entropy's post: Why do people feel that they need to pick one MMORPG, or hell one game of any genre, over another? I play several games of the genre in many genres and I like them all for one reason or another. Do I have a favorite in each of them? Sure. Do I abandon the others because of that one? No. My two cents

I was thinking that we could all post our systems specs here along with any comments on quality of game performance and average FPS. This would help give the developers a sort of guide as to how the game reacts with different system configurations and not just the system specs of the people who are having a problem. After all, it would give you a better set of "controls" when trying to locate a problem. I figured the following would be pertinent: Operating System (OS) CPU Manufacturer (and Mobo if known) Amount of RAM Video Card being used Internet Connection speed/type Display settings Other information that may be relevant (anti-virus programs, firewalls, etc) If there's anything else you guys can think of please let me know. Also, I was thinking that a cross post of this to the General Chat area would allow you to get more people's attention than just the programming forum, I just didn't know where else to put it. OS: Windows XP Pro SP 2 CPU: AMD Sempron 2200+ 1.99ghz (I'd have to look up the mobo info) RAM: 512 MB Video: Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 256MB RAM Internet: Cable connection through router on home network Display: 1024x768 32 bit single monitor Other: Generally good performance (a little lag every once in a while) average FPS when in a non-crowded area is about 100FPS, in a crowded area (storages and such) about 60FPS

I am an atheist, and as such I didn't not view Pope John Paul II as a person of great personal importance to myself. I do however feel that he has done a lot to bring tolerance to the Catholic religion and in that I am glad. May he have died in peace and may whatever might exist for him be pleasant.

For what it's worth, and it may not be worth much, but I'm using an ATI card with zero problems. I may have misread this thread, but perhaps the drivers are either A) out there or not available for an older card and as such may not ever be officially released for those cards?

Besides, from a programming and development perspective, the 7 categories given better describe the focus points that are needed. The four types of players helps define the target audience that development can shoot for and attempt to mold the game for, but does not accurately or in a detailed manner represent the areas that the developers need to focus upon to improve the game as necessary.

care to post a link here to those topics?

In the section of Entropy's post that I quoted, he mentioned that most major successful MMORPG's don't have official forums, now what I would like to know...which ones? Runescape: http://forum.runescape.com/aff/runescape/i...9569/index.html RYL: http://forums.ryl.net/ EVE Online: http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp City of Heroes: https://boards.cityofheroes.com/ubbthreads.php Everquest: http://eqforums.station.sony.com/eq Anarchy Online: http://forums.anarchy-online.com/ WoW: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/ and that's just the beginning. So far the only major MMORPG's that I haven't been able to find a forum for is Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot. And while both are major MMORPG's on their own, I don't think they qualify as "MOST". I feel that when you remove the forum, you're doing the community a injustice. When you say it's not even debatable, it's even worse. And yes, I realize that even though you SAID it wasn't debatable, we're debating it. Why? Because the forums is an integral part of our game play. Sincerely, Goliath Cobalt

How many people here are using either older video cards or integrated? I've found that the integrated video on at least two computers doesn't like it very much. There might be a relation to the capability differences between what an integrated vid and an actual AGP can handle that is the core here. I just got a new computer with an ATI RADEON 9600 and have had no problems.

Ok, just how are you gonna make getting a neg perk harder? Right now you have to have an OA level of at least the number of pick points you would receive anyways...or am I missing something here?

prolly an integrated S3 savage DDR...that's what lots of them have

I think the "delimited" random spawn idea was a good one. I also thought it was pretty cool that while I'm typing this, 14 people are viewing the topic...damn.....
