    IMHO...we should have been 5 years into a launch base on the surface of the moon when Clinton was President and by now, be a year already on the surface of Mars terraforming. The shuttles are an outdated group of pickup trucks, should have been replaced a long time ago by lifting bodies. The space program has been focused on economics for far too long and less on exploration. The bean counters have been in charge for far too many years.

    There has been new propulsion technology for a good while now, we have just been focused on other things. The pursuit of personal wealth has been high on the priorities list of America's "leadership" for decades rather than improving the quality of life of the people of the globe, time to get back on track and start shooting for the stars again. :)

    so now you are saying I cant play enb if I wanna play single player? are you saying I cant be successful playing single player? why do so many people here feel the need to tell others what they should do and how they should play... why is it such a bad thing if someone wants to solo enb...

    I know a guy in wow we called him team 5-box. he ran 5 accounts at once mostly with macros and ran instances with all him... his toons were at the same level as any other toon that ran a single acct at a time... his toons werent crazy rich... they were all in proportion to the effort he put in (probably even less since 5-boxin has to be hella hard)... and blizzard was fine with it... although here... you would have him put in the iron maiden... :rolleyes:

    I tend to solo mostly, did so in EverQuest all the way to level 60 before they raised the cap. In fact, I refused all guild invites until I felt I had mastered the playing of my toon and his abilities. Never multi-boxed due to cost of another PC, not out of any objection to multi-boxing. I have been told that IRL I am a pretty good guy, fact is though, at least for me, I am not terribly social by nature and have minimal tolerance for asshattery thus, I mostly solo. In years past I have caught some static for this but it's just not in my nature to group hunt a lot. Do I realize that I might miss some high level end game content? Absolutely. Who besides me should be concerned? I agree with Avani in this matter...people really need to chill a bit and adopt a more tolerant attitude. If I choose to solo, or if I choose to multi-box...who is it harming? :P

    Your description is most apt. And those are the reasons I eventually abandonned it. I found SWG to have a nice flavor... until they decided to rewrite it. Since then, there has just been nothing of real interest.

    Until now. I can't thank the DEVs enough!

    Yep, me too. Nothing like joining a corp on a Saturday, log in Sunday morning to find several HUGE Battlewagons targeting you. Beta'd EVE and found it lacking in so many ways I went back to E&B just in time to find my guild (can't remember the name for the life of me but then I am old) had disbanded leaving me as leader, then sunset came all to quickly. :(

    So...watching the Budweiser NASCAR Shootout while cruising the forums.

    Guess I am forced to log into EverQuest for awhile...on the bright side, it allows me an opportunity to let the D&D bunch know how awesome the future is. Most who are playing EQ don't even know what E&B is so I get a chance to educate them and hopefully cause them to stop in to see what's going on here and see what real dedication to a great game is all about.

    In between actually with some outdated components.

    Intel P4 3.2 Ghz processor

    1 Gig Corsair matched DDR

    500 Gig Barracuda HDD

    500 Gig Barracuda HDD

    Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS (AGP) :angry:

    Viewsonic A91f+

    Viewsonic A75f

    MSI MS-7 Mainboard w/800 mhz FSB

    Widnows XP Home

    Hope to be building a new box after tax refund but it isn't really high on my list of priorities. At this moment though, I have my EQ toon set to trader mode selling off junk while posting here so I guess it does what I need. Going to try firing up the E&B client momentarily to see if I can run both. :)

    I think I'd like to give STO a play but will be waiting until a few months after release. In the meantime, if an absolutely FREE beta key comes my way I'd use it.

    Agreed. Folks ought to keep in mind that there are still darn few games released in a truly finished state. Not that it is an acceptable practice to me but it is what it is nonetheless. If they don't send me a key, I too will wait a very good while before paying for the game.

    "It is against the law to throw a ball at someone’s head for fun."

    Preposterous!! I won't have it! Draconian laws...:)l:

    Just my 2 piaster but botting seems to be a lazy way to do anything. Too many folks try to find the easy way through things. It sort of cheapens any goals reached imho.
