[possibly a] MMO discussion! Yay!

[LordRetard]

HAHAH Ahmet is being a responsible brother! It must be so weird to have younger siblings, especially if you care what happens to them. Be careful, because Cirtur's on it too.

[Phoenix]

Actually it IS a wierd feeling, I've got a younger sibling I also care what happens to... him.... and stuff. It's mostly wierd cause you don't realize it until you're in your late teens, and it just hits you. Very awkward, if I might say so myself.

[Asherian]

...This is made by the same people who make wow, but I think the fact they don't take themselves seriously means you can't get hung up on it. Casual gaming, now for your MMO's!

You know this statement always confuses me. I heard the same thing about warhammer online (same people who make WoW made it.) Last time I checked blizzard hasn't made another MMO, or even released another game since WoW came out. (Soon that'll change, oh so very soon... I miss Ghost.) Blizzard being the special anal retentives they are Don't work outside the company. The rare joint projects they've done ended with them either buying the company they were working with, or scrapping the project. So where in the world does this concept of made by the same people/group come from? The styles of the games are different, the production studios while not always the one who owns it aren't even the same. Its just a rumour that confuses me.

[AHMETxRock]

I don't know, I read the statement on a yahoo article saying how good it was before it started getting advertised on children's cartoon stations.
If you look at it, it is very similar. There needs to be someone somewhere getting booty all over the place. You know, metaphorically.

[Asherian]

Yeah I can see how they're so similar both using a vaguely cartoonish style. Ignore the fact the gui is completely different, that Triggersoft has no connection to blizzard or anything like that.

They are both MMOs, that makes them practically the same! Who can ever bother to keep those things straight?

[AHMETxRock]

Hey, I read an unverified statement that seems semi-believable! What do YOU base your assumptions on?!?

[Asherian]

The fact that the company blizzard is infamous for its odd practices including exclusively in house development for all their software products? That if this was theirs it'd have been being blasted as much as D3 and Starcraft 2? Oh just the little things like that.

... you know, verified facts.

[AHMETxRock]

Verified facts? That is bull. If we wait for verification, the terrorists win.

[Asherian]

Verified facts? That is bull. If we wait for verification, the terrorists win.

I thought you were on their side? Besides, its not like I support the system/government here. Reacting at all causes the terrorist to win, we're best if we just keep living as we live not reacting irrationally to their demands/actions.

[AHMETxRock]

Very good point you have made. Negative attention is sometimes more desired than no attention at all.
I don't know what to say. I apologize for assuming the two were related somehow. I read it on an article by yahoo, and it didn't say much more than "oh by the way it was made by the (dudes at) WoW".

[Cirtur]

What you shouldn't do after a terrorist attack is invade a country.

[natinia]

Apparently it's alright as long as that country has no ties at all to the terrorists or the event.

Yeah it's frustrating when people share and believe misinformation, especially when it'd take about 30seconds on wikipedia to verify it. (Not that wikipedia is failproof, but a simple lie about something that big and well known couldnt last up there very long, I believe)

[Phoenix]

I agree, it can be unbelievably frustrating when people believe and spread misinformation, especially when they're so convinced it's true that even if you show them they're wrong, they just ignore you. Living in texas, Waco in particular, has caused me to meet a lot of these people.

[natinia]

Oh! You're in Texas. I'm sorry. I spent 7 years living outside of Dallas, and actually right now my brother is living in Waco with his girlfriend. I bet it's hot as fuck (but a lot less pleasant) right now.
During the election, said girlfriend's mother thought it was necessary to "educate" my brother by giving him pamphlets claiming Obama is muslim and is out to destroy your values and your family.

[Phoenix]

That sounds like waco. God I hate it here, being a non-religious (but not necessarily atheist) liberal-leaning college student on the outskirts on one of the most redneck-saturated cities (not towns) in Texas, one of the most conservatively religiously biased states in the US.

Yes, it's HOT AS FUCK here right now. It's been over 100 degrees for the past week - we finally had some cloud cover today, although no rain.

I grew up in Austin/Round Rock, so I've pretty much been in Texas my whole life.
