I tried eve once, the gameplay suggestion for me was 'que up these skills to train, log out and log back in in 3 days to que up more skills to train, in ~2 weeks time you will be able to do stuff. Thrilling game of non-stop excitement I tell you.

Flavor Truck posted:Post server, side, and most active guild please. Last I heard (Aranzeb West), most of the remaining goons merged into Marauders, and then Balistafreak created another guild where they mainly destroy haulers on dewstone bridge. I haven't seen him on for a while now, so I am not sure if the guild is still active. Also, couple of us are in Nine O Third.

me and a friend recently tried this game and we thought it was awesome because i could ride around on an armored cow and poo everywhere. it is incredibly grindy though, even the starting zone quests are grindy as hell. i can imagine this grind continues to become worse during the game???

You could spend hours a day for a couple months to afford a semi decent endgame starter weapon. By which I mean a non-poo poo proc epherium weapon, or at least T4 obsidian. Then you get to throw hundreds (maybe thousands) of gold into the regrade lottery. Have fun!

If you ever want to compete in PvP your choices are; "don't" or "put enough for car payments on a credit card".

I had the terrible idea to give this game a shot this evening. After finishing downloading it, the game refuses to run. All sorts of weird errors, from my computer bugging out completely, to the loading screen getting stuck, to getting disconnected 2 minutes into character creation like 10 times in a row. Apparently there is some kind of issue between Windows 8.1 and hackshield or something, because my computer has never had any issues running any other games before.

Hackshield needs the kind of access a very malicious trojan would want. It still doesnt stop people from hacking.

Since the update a few weeks ago the game has been even more unstable for me. Going from halcy to gweo I crashed 3 times, which basically makes running packs or larders on anything but a donkey impossible. PVP is no good either, though hilariously sometimes I'd crash when attacked, saving me from certain death. My own fault for trying to run the game on a toaster from 2009. Game wasn't fun anymore so I stopped playing, but first I sold off all my land so I'd have a stake if I decide to try again once I get my new computer. Found myself sitting on 14k gold, with another 12k worth of easily liquidated assets in a game I probably won't pick up again. Which got me wondering, just out of curiousity, how reliable are gold buyers like this? http://www.epicnpc.com/threads/671178-Egpal-Buying-ArcheAge-EU-US-Gold-Pay-By-Verified-Business-Paypal-Moneybook http://www.epicnpc.com/threads/692489-WTB-and-WTS-Archeage-Gold-Excellent-9-9-Score-on-Trustpilot-The-Trustworthy-MmoGah

Almost all the posts are him bumping, not very many are of customers. Second one is probably ok. The worst that could happen is that you get scammed out of the gold or banned down the road in a game you arent playing. Break it up into 3-4 transactions to limit your risk. Try selling to goons first, the benefit of buying from you is that you arent a chinese farmer so they wont get banned when they trade with you. Price it at whatever the spammers are selling for.

Aranzeb is filled with people with p2w so it wouldn't be hard to find a buyer that you can sell to directly.

Thanks guys. I think there's only half a dozen goons still playing on Aranzeb and I doubt any of them are silly enough to trade real money for pretend money, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to run an S-mart thread for a few days. It's just, I'd feel a bit bad selling gold to goons. Even at $10 per 1000, half the price of the spammers, it's just such a ridiculous thing to buy. It almost feels like a scam.

Wherever the path to something is a boring repetitive action and you cannot just hack the game to get the stuff, RMT will exist. Developers should be designing games in such a way that RMT is either undesriable or controlled by them, not a third party.

TRION is the video game equivalent of a krokodil dealer.

The problem was the lead designer was a clown who designed the rest of the loot system around the RMAH existing and as a result made a horribly unfun grindfest. Now the have designed the game to make RMT pointless and the game is pretty great again in shorter bursts each new season.

The problem with diablo wasn't the shop, it was that the game was balanced with the shop instead of fun in mind. The drop rates were so low that unless you hit the jackpot a couple times over, you *had* to buy poo poo from others to play the highest difficulty effectively. You don't go advertising a hack&slash loot bonanza and then effectively lock loot relevant for a specific character someone's playing behind a cash shop for 99% of the population. Worse, it's purely based on luck, too.

You could make a lot of money off the rmah but the game just wasn't fun. Luckily the dev got fired and a guy who actually plays with the intent of making it onto the season leaderboards took over. So yeah, making the RMT work too well in a game ends with entropia or launch diablo and neither of those are things to aspire to.
