I'll lastly like to add that taking relationship advice for those predisposed to sitting in front of a PC trying to ignore real life for as long as possible, is probably the worst advice anyone could wish for.

Lady, just turn the WoW off, and get some marriage counseling.

The down-rating is automated by people with enough time to repeatedly clear their cache and re-vote, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it. It's not the community as a whole, just someone who doesn't agree with what you said and wants to cheat the system to prove something.

Not sure I agree with what you said, this type of behaviour will just develop into something over time, but I won't down rank you as a result :)

The truth must hurt :)

You have kids and you didn't want to 'hurt the guild', please get priorities straight here... You knew what you should have done, but you couldn't because you are addicted to WoW sadly. You need to get your husband back in line and get your relationship straight. don't turn to gaming websites for vindication. PC games are entertainment, I don't see how things have gone so far off track, when did it stop being fun?

This isn't about WoW, it's about a dysfunctional relationship. Let's draw a distinction between news and stories regarding World of Warcraft and watching the next car crash.

Please!

Good work JP, keep up the ambulance chasing :) hahahaha

Seriously now, I gotta say this was one of the most interesting trailers for a MMO I've seen.

While people are moaning about bots and customer service in this thread, it's as if it's hard to give props to something that isn't 'their game'

Compare this to LOTRO, it's a totally different scale. Aion opened my eyes to eastern MMO's, I'm a convert now in fact.

The real reason people don't get on with Aion, is that they fell behind the leveling curve, and now struggle to compete. Bots/Goldsellers, annoyances but some more emotional players seem to rage quit over such matters. It's a very nice game, a bit of a challenge, and not a race to the end. People who get it, enjoy that, those who don't, well there are plenty of other options.

I've heard a whole lot on 'how badly Aion is doing', but sales figures do contradict the wisdom of those no longer players. It's not all doom and gloom with Aion, and this trailer shows where this could all be going. There is a lot of MMO companies seeing this and being very worried right now.

I resubbed after seeing this, so good on NC Soft. Color me impressed.

This would make a great addition to my Razer headset and Lycosa keyboard, please consider my entry. My official WoW mouse died and it was horrible really, all the paint came off, poor build quality, hope this thing is a lot better!

Nothing like some fluff to slow down a raid, consider me entered!

So they lifted the NDA.....

Good.... the skirmish system is horribly disappointing and just not fun, it feels grindy, it feels like a version of double dragon to be honest, where predetermined groups of mobs come at you in waves. I don't know why the hell Turbine though the LOTRO needed to be another game, they just needed to work harder to get more content out more regularly, and I feel they wasted resources re-inventing the wheel, indulging their own vanity, rather than expanding middle earth.

Mirkwood is a bit small, and basically it's Moria in the forest, a directed theme park of quests.

On initially buying the pre-order we were told that there would be new skills available to each class, there is just one new skill per class, and on the whole, horribly underwhelming..

I used to be one of LOTRO's biggest fans on these boards, but the new work feels very claustrophobic and doesn't excuse the lack of decent content for the last 9 months.

Sure there are going to be the old school LOTRO fans out there, who will defend the game, but this is the best IP for fantasy role playing out there, and it could be so much better, and it was a whole lot better 18 months ago. A few nice quests and story help (which this game does have), but when they just go ahead and try to the 'that other game', the hard work and polish applied to the SOA zones starts to wear thin.
