    Ashes of Creation

    I think a lot of it boils down to the games are made for the wrong audience. Each company it seems keeps trying make pvp a main draw and focus, when really only a fraction of the mmo players want pvp, and even much less for the game to be built around it. Anytime systems are designed with...

    What would you like to see remade?

    Any of the first 3 SSX games or NBA Street for me.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Get one of those emulator retro console things with 30k+ games or whatever, or start hitting Facebook marketplace for consoles and games that dont require online components to work. I used to think downloading games would be an exciting future, but with the idea that you rent and never own...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I was at microcenter this past weekend and saw a 5090 at $3500. The amount of wtfs i heard passing by that area... I thought 1600ish for the 4090 was retarded, but since that was about around the same time the govt was paying everyone to sit at home for free, it sold. $3500+ now for flagship...

    WoW Vanilla+ Turtle WoW

    Best thing they could do is bring private servers into the fold, or stop the fucking rampant betting in their versions. People don't have a problem paying $15 a month for content that they enjoy that isn't riddled with 5 bots per every real fucking person. Blizzard can eat a bag of dicks if...

    No, those are two different currencies.

    WoW Ascension (Classless Realm)

    I'm curious to where all the gold is coming from. Inflation is so fast that it almost seems generated by the devs out of thin air. 4 days ago the gold to DP ratio was like 150-200g per 100 DP. 4 days later it's now 800 to 850g per 100 dp. Several toons are online 24/7 buying up every dp...

    WoW Ascension (Classless Realm)

    I think something messed up on their restart. I was playing just fine this morning and then they shut down to fix phasing. Try to log back on and get sent to a WoTLK splash screen like its a normal Blizzard server and can no longer connect. Even launching from inside the file doesnt work now.

    WoW Ascension (Classless Realm)

    I only made it to 20 in BB, so I dont have a ton of experience there. I do know that all the starting areas have a new area to explore, as well as they have the world forged loot placed in various places that you find as you explore. For example, Mulgore has an area that's lvl 3 to 5 with an...

    WoW Ascension (Classless Realm)

    Turtle is an outstanding option for you. I enjoyed my time there and there is a ton of additional content there.

    WoW Ascension (Classless Realm)

    If I'm Ascenion, I just sunset Epoch. Once the devs from Epoch left, that was the end of it mostly. Ascenion took on the hosting, while planning on having the devs do their thing. In return, Ascenion would get a bunch of players into their private servers and maybe get some to play on their...

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    I am a brand new private server fan. I never had a positive opinion of them based on others feedback. Stopped playing wow hardcore around the end of AQ40, and picked it up casually again during wotlk and basically only hit lvl cap and quit again. Epoch intrigued me, so I tried that for a bit...

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    The number of people that actually like open world pvp can be counted on 1 hand. This is why every single fucking pvp server ends up 99% alliance or 99% horde. Its mildly interesting the first few weeks of the server and then it turns into roaming gank squads doing everything they can to...

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    The Epoch devs themselves said that they really only wanted a server that held around 200 people, with a few raiding guilds in there. From the sounds of it, Epoch was developed out of a labor of love and passion, and not monetization. The hype train basically was the downfall of what the...

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    I don't think Epoch has much of a future to be honest. The Epoch team stepped away from the project completely per their main dev. Ascension was given the road map and planned to follow it. With the lack of monetization, and the rapidly declining population base, id venture to say that they...
