Women who think courtesy ( a la holding the door open ) is sexist. Nice try: I hold the door for anyone that I see walking right behind me, no matter their gender, race, species, body type, younameit. You don't like it? Go back through the door and open it yourself again. I'm sure throwing a...

They hero falls into apathy, becoming a pub regular and recounting his stories to anyone willing - and unwilling - to listen, squandering his wealth ( if any ) and eventually becoming an utter bozo. Seriously, after conquering god-knows-what, your life would be dull and drab, most likely...

Most players never asked for PLAYER housing but GUILD housing instead. Having each player have their own home would be neat but ultimately pointless - Guild housing, on the other hand, would let you have a communal hangout for the guild...which is a neat idea.

Dark Crusade let you choose which path you were gonna take in order to achieve conquest, so while still linear, it at least let you imagine you were doing something different. Sadly, Retribution doesn't even do that - best you could do is not play the Optional missions...but that's hardly a...

Hell, it was about time... Seriously, I thought he forgot about the fact that he was a bloody writer!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUS_sjVaRjU Why? It's funny. It's clever. It's utterly insane. And it's metal! ...what more could you possibly want?!

A lot of the games that have been mentioned thus far haven't really ''become trash'', but simply changed the people they cater to. Take Fallout. It went from an RPG to a shooter - it was still a good game, however. There's nothing about it that became trash, it just changed direction in a...

The Final Fantasy franchise needs to decide whom it's gonna cater to - the WRPG fans or the JRPG fans. Some of the sequels met a good middle ground, yet most danced to the JRPG tune. Frankly, if they decide to cater to the JRPG fans: so be it. There's plenty of other good RPGs out there, so...

Relic dropped the ball with Retribution. Well, that may be a bit harsh, but consider the following... - DOW2: Retri was hyped as bringing back multi-faction campaigns. Yet the campaign is identical no matter which race you choose, the only thing that differs is some of the conversation. -...

Touche. I'm just an elitist fart, hence the 3E love. 4E is just fine - it needed simplifying to accommodate new players, and it provided that just fine.

Suikoden. It used to be THE truly immersive and open-ended RPG out there...then it became somewhat more popular and turned into a JRPG dump. Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

If you're new to tabletop RPGs, go for D&D 4th Edition. It's been so simplified and watered down that a mentally addled, comatose, baby could play it.

^ That ( just with paragraphs and punctuation ) We play games because we want to play. Playing means activity. Auto-Attacking isn't active, it's passive - and a bit of an oxymoron, come to think of it. Attacking is an action that has to be performed, not automated... But I digress! A lot...

A whole 6 in 15 pages. Amazing, innit? Well, make that 7 since I'm in The Hague ( the city, not the prison! ).

As many have stated, the issue doesn't lie in WoW being flawless or overly amazing, it's actually quite bland and unimaginative, but it is polished and well-seated due to having had plenty of time to solidify it's current role as ''King''. Any MMO willing to dethrone it is going to have to try...
