A solid keyboard with mechanical keys and no bloody glaring lights or useless extra LCD screens I never actually look at to distract me. Especially blue LED's. Its like having the surface of the sun strapped to your desk. Just my opinion.

Anyway, you're not going to get a new hardcore MMO anymore, making them casual opens it up to more players. More players = more profit. You want hardcore? Go play EvE. You want to know what the largest market share of gamers is these days? Facebook gamers, and "phone app gamers" who play crap like Farmville, etc, with few things to learn, and few buttons to press for quick low gratification rewards. The publishers want to attract these games into their MMO's, and they arent going to do that with a hardcore MMO with permanent item loss, and hardcore PvP. They just don't want it. They don't want to work hard or memorise complex skill rotations and talent specs to be at the top of the damage charts. That's too much like work to them, they play for quick easy fixes of watered down fun for an hour or so then log off again. Its a sad state of affairs, and I don't like it personally, but that's where the money is, so the average game company is going to cater for that market, not the small market share of people who want games hardcore, difficult and where you have to work for your reward, even though the satisfaction payoff at the end is greater. /rant

OP in "OMG brand new MMO doesn't have the features of an MMO thats been constantly patched for 8 years" shocker. I guess they could have delayed the release for another year while they worked on it, but I should well imagine the publishers, EA in this case, were harassing them to put the game out. EA doesn't care about features, just profit, that's just the business they're in. Blame them if you think its released too early with not enough features.

Well, while the kids showing off their numbers are irritating, the lack of one for working out best DPS builds, rotations, etc as opposed to having to rely on napkin maths for figuring it out is more irritating to me.

Cant deny I would love me some higher rez textures, especially on some of the clothing.

Personally I love making alts.

Don't you get some manner of VIP area and an exclusive vendor too?

they're against the character naming conventions.

Its Biowares fault that you all chose to roll on an already overpopulated server, instead of picking one of the many low pop ones?

And there was me thinking it was one of the smoothest launches I've been in. So the UI isnt prefect and theres queues, pretty much like EVERY OTHER MMO at launch date then...?
