    Do You Have A Lot Of Heirloom Gear?

    If you've played WoW for any length of time, you've probably collected a bit of heirloom gear. Do you have a lot? I'm glad they finally made it actually "account bound" and useable for other toons without the mail issues. The only issue is that if you're gear was enchanted, you have to get new...

    Warcraft Bots Prowling Everywhere

    I remember hearing about it. I found out when I could no longer find wrapping paper without traveling outside a city to get it. I guess it was to keep the low level bots from accessing it. There is always someone ready to take advantage of ways to scam people it seems. I liked the gift wrap...

    PC or xbox? Which to get?

    I'm not so sure that looking at a different screen (console/TV) is really considered "resting" your eyes. I think avoiding screens probably gives them a better rest. I know it's a little different, but just saying. After a long day online, I like to get away from all that kind of stuff, at least...

    What's Your Highest Pvp Rank In Wow?

    Yeah, the new ranks are the same titles as the old school ones but based on ratings now. Do you remember how high you got? What class and spec did you rank on? Thanks. I was happy with what I got, since I was just having fun with it. It isn't such a grind today like it was back when.

    What moment ruined a perfectly good game?

    The moment that the "Cataclsym" expansion launched in World of Warcraft. To be fair, not everything about it was bad, but it definitely changed the game. They destroyed the old world when they tried to remake a good portion of it, removing too many things that people loved. They also made the...

    What's Your Highest Pvp Rank In Wow?

    It can be an old school rank or a new(ish) one from rated battle grounds. What is the highest rating and title you've ever achieved? What about arena? What class and spec were you playing when you earned it? The best I ever got was 2k and 2100 for RBGs, which is Lieutenant Commander and...

    Warcraft Bots Prowling Everywhere

    I'm talking about retail. I'm sure it's a problem in any game, since it seems like new ones come out as quickly as they break the old ones. I would have thought that the tokens would slow down the bots, at least the gold selling ones. I remember when the gold sellers used to make a bunch of...

    Warcraft Bots Prowling Everywhere

    I remember watching a stream of bots going in and out of the dungeons in Hellfire Peninsula. There must have been hundreds. It went on for quite some time. There was a sale going on that included boosted toons. They were all Paladins wearing starter gear (that came with the boosts). It was a...

    Is World of Warcraft addictive?

    Free time? What's that? :p I wish I had more time to play as well. I know a few people who like SWTOR, but I've never played. My kid loves Final Fantasy and keeps telling me to check it out. Of course, she'd play anything FF and has several of the various games. About the only one I might try...

    PvE or PvP?

    I've seen a few bosses that made me rethink that. Some are tuned so tightly that you have to play nearly perfectly to beat them. Others have ridiculous amounts of RNG or other gimmicks. Of course, the latter are not really measures of skill, but more about luck. I do think it's more exciting...

    What's your opinion of "Freemium" Mobile Games?

    I'd really just rather have the option to decide if I want to pay as I go or just pay a flat fee for full access. Getting stalled by a paywall is annoying. Just tell me in advance what I need, and need to pay for, and let me get on with it. Don't try to trick me into more purchases. I just don't...

    Scariest Game You Have Played

    I don't think horror games were made for me either. I know a lot of people like them. I don't mind a little bit scary. In fact, I like a little sense of danger and the adrenaline rush that comes with it. I love the sense of sneaking into someplace that I'm not supposed to be and the chance of...

    Thoughts on Micro-transactions

    I agree with a lot of what's been said already. I don't mind paying something, but I hate pay to win. I also think that micro-transactions should be micro, as in small. Some are, but some of the prices are a bit much. For WoW, you buy to play, pay a sub to keep playing, and they have a cash...

    What is your favorite model rework?

    I found the animations for some to be very awkward at first. I hope that's been improved upon. The female human faces seem a bit too wide-eyed for my taste. At least the bodies aren't so clunky now. Can we all just stop and say "hairstyles"? That's what's sorely needed, if you ask me. More...

    PvE or PvP?

    That makes sense, @forumheem. It depends on my mood too, although both can be relaxing or intense depending on specific content and who you are playing with. There was always a battle amongst players (forum/chat PvP, if you will) about which required more skill - PvE or PvP. The PvP'ers always...

    Warcraft Bots Prowling Everywhere

    Bots have always been a problem in World of Warcraft. As soon as they break one, another appears. They have even sued people over it. You may have to report more than once. Their system tends to get bogged down (especially after they cut staff). They also take time to investigate.

    Any good MoP private server?

    Well, I understand why they take them down. They have to protect what's theirs. It is their intellectual property after all, even if they don't support it any longer. I just wish they'd find a good compromise if they don't want to host legacy themselves. Why not at least look at some options...

    Any good MoP private server?

    I remember hearing about them suing someone ages ago, but that person was making a profit. These fan servers and not for profit. Still, they get shut down, and these days, it seems to be happening even more quickly. The Nostalrius group was the big story. They had Classic and were about to...

    Please someone tell me why it take years to develop a game

    Is 99% bug free possible in any length of time? Is there any game that can meet that standard? There are AAA titles with longstanding bugs. I get that it's not easy, but when a bug has been around for years... you'd think they would eventually figure it out. They aren't held to that standard...

    How would you rate Rift over 10?

    Is that the problem? It just really doesn't do anything new and people see it as a WoW clone? I always wondered why it didn't fare better in the beginning (and why it went free to play). It sounded fun, and lots of people said that it was such a beautiful game (especially compared to WoW's old...
