I did have a Female alt on WoW. She had a 300 cooking skill.

Thanks. I just learned that the missions fail sometimes too

I'm just figuring out this whole crew skills and missions thing, so I may be a noob. I'm trying to figure out what all the complaints are about. I just sent my guy on a mission that costed 95. He returned with a lockbox that had 181 credits. I sent him on a mission again that costed 95, and he came back with a lockbox with 125 credits, AND an Energy shield schematic. Am I missing something ?

It's showing up on my map. When I mouse over it, it is highlighted, but I can't do anything else with it. Logging in and out did not help.

Yeah, and I think they had that in there from the beginning too, plus, you could interract with every single NPC. Maybe not talk, but you could select them and hear them make a grunting noise or whatever. lol. Plus, they had Gamon!

How did it "backfire" on them? Did a bunch of people cancel because of maintenance? I think there are more pressing issues than maintenance times. They can't please everyone. The downtime will always be "encroaching" on someone's play time no matter what. I think WoW took all their servers down at the same time at first too. I'm not sure of their schedule now though. They might separate the downtimes sometime down the road. Yes, I am pissed when the servers go down, but I get over it pretty quickly. They are up now, so I'm going to play.

I'd like to hear from someone who has actually worked on a big MMO as to what exactly goes on during MMO maintenance periods, outside of game patches, from a technical standpoint. Just out of curiosity.

Just say no to shards... or not.. LoL

Submit a ticket?

Would bad things happen if it were done monthly rather than weekly ?

Are you saying that the same planet is different depending on which side you are on when you go there? If this is the case, then it would seem like this feature is easy to implement this type of system.

lol, you make it seem like there is some kind of universally agreed upon litmus test that can authoritatively determine "whether an MMO is a wow clone". The control scheme for movement is similar, but that's about where it ends. Have you even played? Everything else is just similar stuff you would expect in any MMO, even ones pre-dating WoW. I think this one just needs some polishing. I'm actually looking for a good WoW clone. Vanilla WoW that is. I miss MC raiding for epic gears ;/ There's just something about getting 40 people together and being successful after all the wipes that I haven't felt since they put out the first expansion to that game.

What "no raids" stance did they have that they retracted on ?

I was finally able to get somewhat of an answer from a mod as to why these types of posts get deleted.

It only shows players CURRENTLY online. Sorry if I didn't make that more clear.
