Windows 7 ? Right-click the icon, and do "run as administrator"

Bandwidth is one thing, the download limitation of your ISP is another thing. Even though I can pull data through at good 30-40 Mbit/sec at full speed, if your download limit is (X) GB per month, it's not fun to have it all used up in a couple of hours / days and to be put back on smallband...

I logged in with the plan to start recreating my ava, and I was going to find a nice spot to do it. Bounced all back and forth, and DC'd within 5 minutes. No way that I'm even thinking of coming back today to do the ava recreation with lag like this.

I've seen this once, I was working on a Longtooth and I could see myself shoot but no hits, no miss, no nothing. It stopped after about 20 shots, when my Internet connection (and that in a wide neighbourhood around me) went down for the next couple of hours. Not blaming the Longtooth for that...

A Yes-vote from me. In fact, the authentication company that's behind our Goldcards already seems to be offering a mobile solution. (hint : check the back of your reader to see the company that produces it - you didn't really believe that the Mindark Hamsters were producing these things, or...

the Loveletter virus, yes I remember that one from several years ago. That was a good piece of social engineering. At my work, we got mail from one of our vendors, saying "if you receive mail from any of our people, telling you that we have a secret crush for you, please don't open it, it's...

Make sure you get the 64 bit version of Windows 7. With the 32 bit version, your planned 4 GB of RAM will forever be your max. With the 64 bit you can take full advantage of the limits of your MB, which will be around 24GB probably.

"Tradeskills" in WoW means crafting. Yes you can do that here too. One major difference is that once you are able to craft a certain something, the successrate shall and will be below 100% (and often far below 100%) so take that into account ;)

Agree on the knockknock sound. It would be even better if the sound stays active when you're alt-tabbed out ;) For the 3rd person behavior : Sorry, but I'm among the people who like it *much* better now. I had a ticket open in March to ask them to stop messing around with the vertical view &...

True, just imagine that the next Planet Partner would be the My Little Pony planet, the Spongebob planet or something like that. (shudder) :eek::eek::eek: Nothing offensive in there, but I wouldn't want to have it in my chatbox.

I like the looks of it, the Rocktropia designers seem to have a good taste for terminals, auctioneers, mobs, landscape ... though I did feel sorry for shooting the pretty ladies, they look so human :girl: The music was a bit heavy for me today, some heavy metal is fine, but not all night long...

In a first read, I count at least 16 direct references to "choice nr 3". Potions, plus-gear, looking for group, heroics and so on. I didn't even count the neutral terms like MMO and Avatar in those 16. Check the wikipedia article on The Guild ( I'm going to watch these episodes when I have...

Born Dutch, living in Belgium (Brugge) since a long time. 45 years young now.

That's not comparable to the situation we have here. This fee is because the move will be permanent, and if you did your pre-studies well, you'll never move back to the server where you came from. Some servers are dedicated PvP places, some are PvE, some have a roleplay community, some have...

Thanks for the heads-up. I already thought my fan was more noisy than before. Just did the test : I'm in a godforsaken place, just me, 2 mobs on the radar and a couple of rocks on the barren ground. Videocard ATI 5770 is constantly running at 99% now (this used to be like 20-30% in areas...

I thought that if you died, it would be "game over" and you would have to start all over again from scratch. ( yes this was my first MMO :laugh: )

I'm already delighted that the drilling actually ends when you're on auto and the claim is done. Guns just keep on auto-shooting after the mob dies. I have wasted a lot more money there already, even if it is just 1 or 2 shots too many per mob before I click off the auto-shoot. ( in other...

Or jump, or try out the dances, or just breathe. Certain poses and emotes have it as well. This is just so very wrong. Your eyes are looking at your avatar doing something, but then you see it through the eyes of your avatar instead of through your eyes ... and that clashes with each other...

You have my vote for the decimals. Please keep the display consistent too. When you look at the stack of ammo now, you see 208321 ammo = divide by 100 to get to yesterday's 2083 value. But when you are shooting, you see 208.32k ammo, so in your mind you have to divide by 10 (well, strip...

Now explain how they still missed their shot on that Snablesnot Young :laugh:

On my first global, I wondered what all the yellow light was about, and noticed that there was a bit more in the loot window than usual. I hope the guy knows how to extract a tower, or he could think it was a NRF with a funny animation. ( Do you get something straight away, or do you have to...

Maybe they stopped / postponed the campaign for a while ? When I saw the ad, it was somewhere mid-October or so. We weren't at 10.000 anymore, but we certainly were not at a point yet where one could say that the game was very stable. So I really don't blame them if they wait spending...

I saw one on the Guildlaunch site, one or two months ago ( MMO targeted audience). I thought I had printscreened it but can't find it anymore. Currently it doesn't seem to be in their ads anymore.

yes, please consider not only the 150-200 people that were there at any given moment, but also the people who were popping in and out, and people who were at a friend's PC. During the event : this is one of the more flattering shots of the crowd that I was able to make. And now imagine...
