Chronicles from the Nexus
- These stories are set in the Nexus, long after the home world is lost and among the fading echoes of a transhuman civilization . . .
Stories from The Nexus
I was inspired to start writing the Chronicles by my desire to create action-adventure stories like those I reveled in as I grew up. From the tales of Captain Future, Richard Seaton, Kimball Kinnison, Doc Savage, Perry Rhodan, Richard Benson, The Shadow, Conan the Barbarian, The Three Musketeers, Dray Prescott, and many, many more science fiction, adventure, and fantasy stories that inspired my imagination I was (eventually) drawn to the idea of writing my own tales of swashbuckling high adventure in exotic realms. As you might guess, I also got into role playing early on (in fact, I started playing Dungeons and Dragons the year following their first publication) and have spent not inconsiderable effort designing my own variations on rules and world building. So, yes, the Chronicles from the Nexus were inspired by my RPG experiences. While none of the stories are "actual events", that is to say, they are not transcriptions of role playing sessions, the setting and many of the characters originated in either one of my campaigns or in friends' campaigns.
In addition to the roots that the Chronicles from the Nexus have in literature -- and yes, I think that genre fiction is, or can be, literature -- and gaming, much inspiration has been derived from the cinema, such as The Three Musketeers (1973), The Four Musketeers (1974), A Fistful of Dollars (1964) (Blu-ray,DVD), The Scarlett Pimpernel (1983), Star Wars (1977), Blade Runner, The Duellists, The Terminator, Big Trouble in Little China, Die Hard, and a slew more.

The Lonestars made the long trip over to Baton Rouge on a day that was more suited for lounging by the pool than playing football. We were missing a large number of the usual suspects, including our captains. After a quick consultation with the leadership available Coach Dan anointed Captain Beers his first Cap and told him not to fuck it up ;)
USAFL President Denis Ryan made the trip and umpired the fist half of the game - needless to say the umpiring got better in the second half when he grabbed a Baton Rouge jumper and helped them out.
With Captain Beers in the ruck and Stu, Fielder & Mash as midfielders, the Lonestars quickly took control around the midfield and kept pumping the ball forward to Coach Dan who was running riot in the forward line, kicking 3 quick goals before Baton Rouge threw another old stager (Robbie Montanaro) on him. This pattern continued through the first quarter with Jordan starting to get his hands on the ball more and more at half forward, with a very nice goal running off the flank from about 40 out.
The second quarter saw the return of Trig to playing duties (welcome back mate!), whilst the Lonestars were still dominating the midfield, Baton Rouge started to get a bit more of the board and kept it pretty level through the quarter. In the heat of the day - I think most guys were pretty happy to hear the half time whistle, where plenty of hydrating occurred.
In the third quarter, to keep the guys nice and fresh, Peter Coates moved into the midfield and the Lonestars once again ran rampant, especially Mash who after Mueller went off with a calf niggle, added a spark to the forward line. Our defence continued to be nice and strong with Jake Plaisance, Shaun, Zach and Ott doing a fine job at holding their oppenents and then running the ball forward.
The fourth quarter continued to be tough for Baton Rouge, the Lonestars midfield got another boost from our little pocket dynamo, Zach "The Destroyer" who had no problems in running in straight lines through the packs and clearing the ball. Chris Ott also moved into the ruck for the quarter and dominated at both stoppages and around the ground. Baton Rouge started dropping a few extra players into the backline to try and stop Coach Dan from kicking a bag. Which leads to the moment you were all waiting for, the send off. Baton Rouge president Joey was being a bit frisky off the ball (as usual) and roughed up a couple players with bumps in their backs after the whistle, Coach took exception and returned the favor (pro tip - don't do this in front of the umpire if you want to stay on the field) with his own bump. After a little argy bargy where nothing of note happened - the umpire gave Joey and I a rest on the sidelines, where we immediately shook hands and made up. Joey ran straight back on the field, where the umpire told him to get back off...."but we made up, we are cool!" was his response, to much mirth around the ground.
The game finished with the Lonestars too strong 21.10.136 v Baton Rouge 4.2.26.
Goals: Coach Dan 12, Jordan 4, Mash 4, Pete 1
Best: Not going to name names, everyone played great, good team effort.
Also - well done to all the guys for getting over to the after party and helping to contribute not only financially to Baton Rouge, but also cementing the great friendship we have with these guys! The Montanaro jambalaya is some tasty stuff and not to be missed if you get the chance!
~ Coach Dan ~

Glad you are feeling better
I had the flu about 2 months ago.
It was bad
I thought about it at the time if I got the flu like that while I was on the road.
It would have been horrible.
I was in a comfortable bed with my GF talking care of me.
If I would have been in my tent in the tropics,I would be wishing I was dead.
I hope I don't get sick on this trip.
I have to be careful what I eat.
There is a big chance of getting food poisening here while traveling......especially since I like eating off the taco stand carts. They just don't refrigerated their food like we do in the States.
I have got a bit of the runs but so far so good.
I think my body is getting used to it all

1992 Nissan Maxima Body Kits
Fits - 1992 Nissan Maxima
1992 Nissan Maxima body kits are additional components that can be used to upgrade and rejuvenate a vehicle's appearance. After years of usage, the exterior paneling on many cars begins to look old and ugly. Any damage to a car's paint job or to the exterior components themselves can depreciate a automobile's value, making the use of bodykits is just that much more important. A aerodynamic kits can transform a ride look prettier, without replacing any of the mechanics of the vehicle.
Most stylish 1992 Nissan Maxima body kit upgrades include replacements for a couple of parts, bumpers and side panels. These are the areas of a vehicle that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but these aren't the only parts that could be easily fixed. Other aftermarket body parts can be used to upgrade a car's appearance, so 1992 Nissan Maxima body kit can often be special ordered to a driver's specific requirement. For an improved appearance that takes off the old looks resulting from years of usage, a simple body kit can serve you well.

Okay, so I have and (more or less) regularly use the ZF.2 50/1.4, AF-D 50/1.4, and Ai 50/2. Among them, I like the ZF the most, and the AF-D the worst. Actually, my copy of the AF-D suffers from some "blue dot" phenomenon, where under certain (outdoor) lighting conditions and apertures a blueish circular haze can be seen in the image center. This is most noticeable on digital sensors, but can sometimes also be seen on color film. This makes this lens pretty much useless for me, except for indoors use.
In a side-by-side comparison at infinity, the ZF clearly beats the AF-D at all apertures up to f/8. The image borders and corners are noticeably worse on the AF-D until f/2.8. However, the ZF shows some "haze" due to residual spherical aberration, i.e. the sharp image is overlaid with some hazy shine. This is gone by f/2.8.
In the same comparison, the Ai 50/2 is about on par with the ZF from f/2.8 on, and sharpness wise slightly better at f/2 due to the lower amount of spherical aberration.
However, where the ZF.2 really shines is the range f/2.8-f/5.6 at medium distances, where you'll get a beautiful "popping" rendering emphasizing the subject's 3-dimensional structure. Here, the Nikkors just cannot compete IMHO. And, this is not an artifact of digitally emphasizing image sharpness - it works on Rollei Retro 100 with Rodinal as well (or maybe even better). On the other hand, the ZF.2 is not a good available-light lens for wide open night time use - lots of coma make it practically impossible to correctly render point-light sources wide open.
The ZF.2 50/1.4 is my only Zeiss lens for 35mm. I got it, since the performance of the AF-D was so much hampered by the blue dot. If I hadn't lots of good choices in other focal lengths, I'd probably add one or two more ZF lenses at other focal lengths, however, given their price point, it's hard to justify adding one that's redundant to my other glass, as long as that performs "good enough".
So, yes, I think the ZFs are significantly different from the Nikkors, but whether they're better depends on ones usage.
As for the ZFs being MF only, yeah, that's a pity to some extend - most modern focusing screens (post-AF era) don't allow for proper manual focusing. On the F5 it's no problem to change the screen against an A type, for example, but on the digital bodies proper manual focusing is pretty difficult. I'm still thinking of filling my 85mm-portrait-lens-gap with a ZF.2 85/1.4, but the difficulty to properly MF this on some of my bodies makes this decision pretty difficult...

Pope Benedict XVI has spent a lot of time apologizing for the Catholic Church's dark past few decades of (not) handling clergy sex abuse. But I really don't follow these comments, from RNS:
Pope Benedict XVI deplored the sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests and linked it to other vices, including child pornography, sexual tourism and drug abuse, which he said were all promoted by an ideology of social moral relativism.
The pope made his remarks on Monday (Dec. 20), in his annual Christmas address to leaders of the Roman Curia, the Vatican's central bureaucracy.
Certainly, he must realize that the proponents of these heinous acts were, in fact, not moral relativists but representatives of the Catholic Church. Obviously, sexual abuse, despite what is suggested in this "South Park" episode, is not a part of Catholic theology. But it's also not a product of a moral relativism.

30 year old woman | Las Vegas, NV, USA | Seeking men 24-31 within 40 miles
You had me at your proper use of "you're". :)
I am a young adult in Las Vegas. I have had my share of bad relationships, although I have met a few good guys along the way. I have learned a lot about what I want in a partner. I am not interested in a man who wants a fling or to play the field. I am ready to have something meaningful with someone...I am ready to fall in love, although I am not necessarily looking for it or expecting it--I am just ready for it when it is ready for me. I need a man who is honest and has a sense of humor, as well as the ability to converse on an intelligent level. I would hope that my significant other would want the same things from me in return. I like having adventures and getting out of the house and seeing the world, but I also enjoy staying in with a bowl of popcorn, a blanket, and a couple of flicks. It would be nice to find a man with whom I share interests, but It would also be nice if he has different qualities...It's always good to expand one's horizons and learn about another's points of view.
Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Bowling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs, Exotic Pets
I would LOVE to have a dog, but am waiting until I have a more stable schedule and income so as to take care of a pet. I would love to own a bull terrier, or something of the like.
I frequently find myself at Sierra Gold (a locoal bar), anywhere in Town Square, or Cosmo. I prefer the local spots, like bars, to clubs...I like getting home before 4am :)
University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV
I LOVE movies--if you put it in front of me, I will watch it--I will give nearly any movie a chance. I also LOVE music...classic rock and oldies generally please me. I love Billy Joel, the Beatles, etc. I like trying different foods/restaurants.
I love movies, listening to music, going to shows....having new experences. I love to travel, although time does not always permit this. Hiking is fun as well, when the weather isn't scorching :)
The last book I read was for school. It was "Jarhead" by Anthony Swofford...although I did not choose this one, it turns out it was pretty intriguing. I enjoy reading magazines and gossip (not participating in it, though :)

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2014
Los Angeles dental implants expert, Kevin Sands DDS, is now offering mini implants to area patients. With this treatment, patients can have their teeth replaced permanently without worries of long-term teeth shifting and loss of appearance. Although mini implants feature the same dependability associated with full-size dental implants, their smaller size allows for less stringent candidacy requirements as well as faster placement and easier recovery. Once placed, mini implants can be topped with removable dentures or permanent crowns according to the treatment goals that patients have.
The smaller size of mini implants offers advantages before, during and after placement, including:
Dental implants, both mini and full sizes, address the appearance, comfort and oral health of recipients. Because implants are independent of other teeth unlike dental bridges, patients can receive single tooth implants without fear of losing supporting teeth at a later date. At the same time, full mouth implants are an ideal alternative to dentures for replacement of all of the teeth in the mouth of a patient. The months required for the full-size implants procedure has made some patients hesitant to receive this option, but mini implants eliminate that issue. Visit http://www.dental-implant-losangeles.com for more information.
About Kevin Sands DDS
Kevin Sands DDS, earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of Southern California. As a member of several professional organizations in his field, Dr. Sands is a reputable provider of cosmetic and restorative dental care to area patients. Dr. Sands has successfully placed thousands of dental implants. Today, with the option of mini implants now available at his office, Dr. Sands has one more option for patients who recognize the advantages that implants hold for oral health, comfort and appearance.

The Space
Ipanema is an interesting place to visit, besides the famous beach, there is the lagoon "Lagoa Rodriogo de Feitas" surrounded by recreation area, bike hire and entertainment kiosks for food, drinks and music, a spectacular landscape with a big biodiversity and great views to Corcovado and part of the Atlantic Rainforest.
The B & B is located almost opposite the lagoon, a few meters from Ipanema beach. The B & B is in an old and small residential and family building of 1938, has no elevator and is located on the 2nd floor with only one staircase.
The B & B features: a large room with good ventilation and 1 double and 1 single beds for 3 people, one complete bathroom for exclusive use by the guests, air conditioning, wardrobe, wi- fi broadband internet, daily cleaning of the room and bathroom. The Brazilian breakfast is served in the eating area.
My building is located about 5 minutes from the Ipanema's trade: Banks, supermarket, drugstores, restaurants, bookstores, metro and bus station. Nightclubs and pubs, theaters, cinemas and art galleries.
We are also about 30 minutes by bus from the Sugar Loaf station and 40 minutes by bus, or 10 min. by metro, from the Corcovado station.

Malu was a wonderful host and her place was great; better than the pictures, I thought. The room is very comfortable and the breakfast is delicious. Malu was always trying to make my stay better - by suggesting places to see and eat, or offering anything she could to help me feel better when I was feeling sick. And of course, Ipanema is a great neighborhood, and Malu's place is walking distance to everything you need including the beach, but very quiet at night. I'll stay with Malu again next time I get back to Rio.
Malu has a wonderful apartment and is a great host. The guest bedroom is large and comfortable, and opens up to a great balcony and hammock. Malu's recommendations were very helpful and the traditional Brazilian breakfast that she provided was delicious. If I come back to Rio, I will stay with Malu again.
A brilliant place to stay! Great location and beautiful flat. Malu was an excellent host and gave really good recommendations for places to visit which made me feel at home in Rio very quickly. Her breakfasts and juices were also delicious. Highly recommended!
The host Malu provided me with a warm welcome, and detail tip of where to go and eat. The two dogs are nice and fun too. The room and living room are just as described, with a good air conditioning and strong wifi at room. The location is within a comfortable walking distance to bars, restaurants, Beach, and even metro stations.
La casa de Malu es muy hermosa. Tal como aparece en las fotos.
Ella y sus perros son un amor. Nos cuidó mucho los días que nos quedamos ahí y nos recomendó cosas para hacer cada día.
Malu is a very nice host. She has a beautiful apartment in a very great location. there are lots of shops and restaurants around. The area is very lively with one of the most beautiful beach very close : Ipanema.
The apartment is clean and cosy. Malu is always willing to give you good tips to enjoy the most of Rio and her breakfasts are very good and healthy ! I definitely recommand her.
A casa da Malu era tudo que minha irmã e eu (website hidden) localização perfeita entre a Lagoa e a praia. Sua casa é linda e limpa. Ela foi muito prestativa conosco, quando a minha irmã disse que manga era sua fruta favorita, Malu fez uma vitamina deliciosa com a fruta para o café da manhã seguinte e sua atenção aos detalhes não acabou aí, ela sempre deixava o ar condicionado de nosso quarto ligado para nosso conforto quando voltávamos da praia. Foi um final de semana maravilhoso!!!
Era sempre um prazer conversar com Malu e escutar suas dicas preciosas sobre a cidade. Vou sentir saudade da sua leveza, a típica carioca com alma de artista.
Recomendo de olhos fechados sua casa, pois tivemos uma ótima experiência!!!
Malu's home was everything we had hoped. Perfectly located between the lagoon and the beach. Her home is beautiful and clean. She was always very helpful with us, when my sister said that mango was her favorite fruit, Malu made a delicious smoothie with mango for breakfast the next morning and here attention to details did not end there, she always left the air conditioning in our room on to our comfort when we returned from the beach. It was a wonderful weekend!!!
It was always a pleasure to talk to Malu and listen to your precious tips about the city. I will miss her, the typical carioca with an artist soul.
I highly recommend her place because we had a great experience!!!
This host has 3 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews

Pot Farms To Increase This Year
Police have eradicated about 80 thousand marijuana plants in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest over the last two years. So why is that National Forest a hot bed for pot farmers?
Suzanne Florie with the National Forest says campers and hikers are being warned to avoid any type of farms they may stumble across this summer. She says growers may be armed and anyone who runs into any signs of a farm should leave, try to mark the location by landmarks or waypoints and notify law enforcement.
State Tax Code Out Of Whack
Wisconsin's tax code is out of whack and it's something that's been brewing for awhile now says Todd Berry of the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance. About 10 years now.
Berry just released a report that shows there are major tax discrepencies in the areas of overwithholding, unlegislated tax hikes the marriage penalty and low income vs. middle income. The report has been submitted to the state revenue secretary.
Credits to Lower Storm Water Bills Available in La Crosse
Charges for La Crosse's new stormwater utility have yet to appear on water bills. But you can start applying for water saving credits to lower your bill now. Any activity that cleans or retains storm runoff is eligible for credits. Bernie Lenz, in the city's engineering department, says some quick applications have been created to cover things like rain barrels and rain gardens. A longer process would apply if you the credit was for a mitigation procedure that was unusual. Get enough credits, he says, you can knock eighty percent off your stormwater bill. So far, Lenz has yet to receive any stormwater credit applications.
Boland Gets Endorsement from 3rd District GOP
There might be two guys running for the Republican nomination for the third district Wisconsin congressional seat. But the party only wants one of them. The third district republican caucus has picked former Fort McCoy commander Ray Boland as the guy they want to represent them in the November election against Ron Kind. Boland officially announced his campaign for congress months ago. Late last month, fellow retired army veteran Edward Martin from Chippewa Falls announced he, too, would run for congress as a Republican.

Hey Guys!
We've been out West for the last few weeks, and are just getting our digital lives cleaned up again. Sorry for the delay, but we're here and ready to jump back into the conversation! In response to some of your questions...

I have REV'IT pants and jackets and love both, but have had poor experiences with your gloves. The latest was a pair of Summit H2O which are not even a little waterproof and have a liner that detaches from the glove every time you take it off (gloves are 2 years old so they are out of warranty).
From reading other comments, it looks like my experience isn't unique, so I was wondering if there are any new materials, liners, etc. in your gloves that make them worth another shot, or should I just stick to Held?
Thanks for taking the time to post on a forum!
Hey Mokosai, sorry to hear about the gloves! I might recommend you try some of our GORE-TEX products, like the
Roadstar GTX
. We used the GORE-TEX X-TRAFIT construction in the making of these gloves, which means that the inner lining, the GORE-TEX insert, and the outer fabric are all bound into one layer, while the properties of each layer are retained -- or in other words, liners don't pull out, and the gloves are surprisingly lightweight for the amount of waterproofing and protection provided. The
Phantom GTX
uses the same X-TRAFIT technology, and we have other gloves like the
and the
that use a basic GORE-TEX membrane that likewise provides waterproofing.
Hope this helps!

Hi lmychajluk. You're definitely not the only one wondering about the back protectors. We're out of stock because we had to switch manufacturers rather suddenly and unexpectedly (due to issues on the manufacturer's side), and production came to a halt. We quickly started looking for an new manufacturer, but it took a bit of time and so now we're playing catch-up.
Fingers are crossed that we'll see something by late June or early July!

Well Ralphy, I guess that depends on what you're comparing it to! Personally, for me, our mid-range products are fantastic -- they're perfectly suited for the riding I'm doing about 99% of the time.
Apologies on our warranty restrictions, but to keep track of our stocks and warrantied products, everything has to be routed through the original dealer of purchase. Of course, if you're ever in a jam when you're on the road, do just send us a message and we're always happy to see what we can do.
Ride safe!
We make the stuff you want to wear.

"Loved this modern and fresh theme so much we decided to get everything available in it printed! The paper is thick and textured, easy to change font style and size and the free design consult is worth the short extra time!"

"I ordered these menu cards for my wedding on May 4, 2012. I received them in approx one week. I chose a custom color and it was perfect. The color was exactly as it appeared online. The paper weight is ideal. My guests found the tag line on the bottom very cute. I would definitely recommend these to any bride to be."
"I ordered this product in the dark red colour. The template didn't fit our whole menu so I asked for the spacing to be adjusted to fit all of our text, which was no problem and it looked great. The paper quality is lovely and I would really recommend this as a great size for a menu - it doesn't take up too much space on the table. Our guests said they were simple and easy to read."
"I changed around the font and colors to match my rustic theme-but I really liked its bold lettering and simplistic look.Great price!Shipped super fast."

Smart grid do over: Would you go about it the same way?
By Jesse Berst
Earlier this month we told you about Peco Energy putting smart meter deployments on hold while it investigates why 15 meters overheated, including one that caused a house fire in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
And a recent Associated Press story on smart meters stirring a rowdy debate in Texas reminds us of the report we carried on a Texas woman pulling a gun to stop a smart meter installation.
Numerous reports have surfaced in recent years about smart meters causing cancer and other illnesses. We told you this spring about homeowners in Australia using electromagnetic shielding paint to keep death rays out. And about smart meter conspiracy theories circulating in Nevada.
So now we have smart meter opt-out plans popping up coast to coast.
Which leads to the latest Tuesday Topic over in our discussion forum: If you could turn back the clock and rethink the whole smart grid rollout, would you do it differently? Would smart meters be at the forefront? If not, what would be? Feel free to suggest better customer approaches; better technology approaches; better people and process approaches; or all of the above.

Hi there!
Since Oct. 13 Google has not been able to access the file, though when I check it is looks fine. I do not recall if I did an update that day or not, because I did a couple of updates for plugin that day. Today I tried to submit the file to Yahoo, but it could not find it either. Please help!
Thanks so much!

The last time Nebraska took the field, its own shortcomings ended with one of the most disappointing losses in its history. The Cornhuskers' 45-31 loss to Georgia in Tuesday's Capital One Bowl did little for the healing process. Quarterback Aaron Murray threw five touchdown passes to set a Georgia bowl record, including two in the fourth quarter, as the sixth-ranked Bulldogs sent No. 23 Nebraska to its third straight bowl loss. It was a particularly stinging defeat for the Cornhuskers (10-4), who finished the season with two straight losses - both with woeful defensive performances. Nebraska is just a month removed from losing 70-31 to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 1. The 591 yards of total offense that Georgia posted in its win Tuesday were the most Nebraska has ever allowed in a bowl game, passing the previous high of 518 by Alabama in the 1966 Orange Bowl. ''We didn't win the football game. At the end of the day that's what we're about around here,'' Neb...

Its funny when people claim people are going to get bored in a few months so they will "wait until then" to determine if they want to play the game or not. If you post on these forums, chances are you like to play games with a good value; even if you just play through one story you get WAY more then a 60$ game worth of content. The amount of content for one character to complete blows away games like Skyrim even. I can tell you right now that it will take you roughly 200 hours to complete the story for a character and leveling process, but probably a couple hundred more hours to 100% the map. Do you really think it is worth waiting for that? No. Does it even matter if some people quit in a few months? No. There will be plenty of people to help grow the game and support it paying for stuff in the gem store/expansions. (Original GW team had around 10 people when it came out, now GW2 has 200+..wonder how they built that team?)
If you don't like it from experiencing the beta sure, thats one thing, but if you think its good but it might not last you are doing yourself a disservice, as a gamer, by not picking up this game. If you approach this game like a regular 60$ MASSIVE RPG, you will like it much more as someone who prefers traditional endgame. If you like the version of endgame they have you will also stick with it as a bonus. Worst case scenario you could play it at launch and each expansion; then still have a blast playing it. Personally I will play it as long as my friends do, but I will hop in and play every time new content/expansions are available regardless because I know it is worth it.

you can either challenge the Dungeons in higher Difficulties, but unlike D3, the game isn't short. And you don't get to experience the whole game that quickly.
D3 needs you to complete the same quests, kill the same bosses.
GW2, once you hit level 80, if you never went down this cavern the first time around, guess what, that cavern is still relevant to you. If you never went to Charr's zone, well you can do that now.
Thats what is different, but really, if you haven't experienced it , wait till release date and try it yourself. You might not understand it till your old MMO habits changes, but it happened to me just with 2 BWE, so it won't take you more than 2 days.
Life is a Maze, so make sure you bring your GPS incase you get lost in it.

I spent the last beta weekend playing WvWvW for over 8 hours didn't zerg once was in small groups of about 6 or 7 of us taking over supply camps.. it is much more than zerg vs zerg. Any large castle seige is going to be a zerg how else you going to take over the castle? The whole point is there is a lot of other options you have that can be completed with a small group. I played daoc back in the day and while maybe the incentives where better in some cases the actually enjoyment and map layout is a ton better for me in gw2.. and there ARE server ranks and rewards for killing players.. have you looked into it at all?
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

from the wiki: Killing an enemy player in WvW will result in experience and loot drops. Loot is randomly generated; the defeated player does not actually lose anything through being defeated. Aside from these individual rewards, there is no particular benefit to fighting other players. As a result, combat will usually occur when attacking or defending an objective.
Originally posted by otinanai123
you said you get no rewards from killing players which isn't true as you quoted the wiki. I'm sorry but when did enjoyment not count as an incentive to fight other players? Then with your last sentance you obviously have not even tried WvWvW so really have no clue or basis to what you are saying.. once you play and see the map layount and how everything works. Objectives are all over and can be done by differn't sized groups depending on what you are doing.

I hate to get technical here, but how do we discuss something NONE of us have experienced yet? All we know about endgame is what we've been told by the Arena Net team.
It's threads like these before a game is released, that start to misinform the gaming population.

Agreed. Even during the last stress test, I spend 4 hours playing WVW with 4 friends. We ran from supplly camp to supply camp, joined in a few zergs, took on enemy players in the middle of nowhere, swtiched sentries to our side and had a blast! I think there is a huge misconception regarding WVW... all I can hope is that as the game is released and word of mouth spreads, people become aware of how much fun WVW truly is :-)
Originally posted by Aerowyn
Enjoyment yes. Tarren mill was also about enjoyment. We had fun for a few weeks, after that people got bored and moved on to other things.
These rewards aren't enough, especially for level 80s. And yes, I did some WvW in all BWEs.
I'm not saying WvW's bad, but please don't compare it to RvR.
Originally posted by otinanai123
difference is there is a LOT more to do in the WvWvW maps than anything any wow map has to offer. That on top of the much more action oriented not gear dependent combat should keep a lot more people around for a much longer period of time. And for the last one why not? because WvWvW is more enjoyable for many people?

WvsW is actually better than RvR in DAoC ever was. No gear advantage, no advantage through rank abilities, just you, the enemy, and the same tools for both. But then, I don't see DAoC with any kind of romantic nostalgia, but for what it is.
Originally posted by Aerowyn
Many people seem to think that attacking keeps is fun because it's something new and WoW didn't have it. It gets boring after a while trust me on this. Only a tiny minority of DAoCers were keep raiders, the rest of us thought they were the most boring part of RvR.

I have to agree with Aerowyn, there is a lot to do in WVW, and to assume that because there is no "gear grind" as we have become accustomed to in WOW, there not sufficient incentives for high lvls to keep playing? To many asusmptions.

again there is a lot more to WvWvW than just attacking keeps

U see? That is the difference between us mate. I dont need "rewards,rewards,rewards". Ill go there for PvP, that alone, if it is good enough, is THE ultimate reward. I get a bit of loot, thats fine. I get my "pvp coins" where i can buy special armor from, that is reward as well if you want. I can raid keeps with my friends, that is also a reward. I dont need the chatline "Im RR XXX and i r00xer you through the Emain". I simply dont need an E-Peen.
You see what i mean? Or better what i like? That is why taste is different to all of us which is a good thing, or? :)
Me loves it. And one thing beside, there is a relic, it is the Orb. And on the other hand, if you remember, RR in DaoC where not there right from the beginning. And who says that we dont get that as well? This is a new MMO and as we old ones know, no MMO was perfect from the beginning, they all "grow with time".

I think it's ridiculous NOT to compare GW2 WvW with DAoC RvR as they have so many similarities with each other. Both system have specific things in their design directions that differ, but there is nothing about the systems that says they can't be compared. Why the hell would you not compare the two?

There are some good points in this thread. I think the value-for-money argument listed above is a good one. Of course when viewed along those lines, there's very little reason not to play GW2 if you like single player games especially. There's just a lot of content to be played and many many hours of fun.
BUT! As I've posted, and many others have posted in other threads along these lines, it's not really about whether the game is fun for a few months. I think what these discussions are really about is "motivation" in the game post level cap. It's cool that they've gotten rid of the gear grind, I think a lot of people would agree to that. What's maybe not so cool (and I'm a huge fan of GW2 so I really WANT to like the endgame) is that on hitting 80, the cosmetic rewards might not be enough to motivate a lot of players.
Yes you can repeat or play the rest of the lower level content.
Yes you can do the dungeons.
Yes there is a pretty awesome WvWvW mode (but this is not attractive for some PvE'ers).
But really what people are worried about is a reward system. People want to "progress" or "evolve" their character in some way that's meaningful (and no, I don't consider different costumes evolving a character). I think that the skill points will do this for a while, until you max out what stats/skills your character has, but then what?
If I use Rift for a comparison. I'm not pumping Rift, I'm just using it as an example. Rift is built on a gear grind system, but it also has a post-level-cap level system called Planar Attunement : http://rift.zam.com/wiki/Planar_Attunement_(Rift)
This lets people continue to do quests, dynamic events, invasions, raids, whatever and leveling up their PA will let them distrubute poitns in this VERY large stat boost system. Rift also has 11 dungeons which also have multiple modes in which they can be completed (with different rewards).
I'm sorry to say, that even with so many dungeons, and multiple modes, they still get boring after a while.
But then on top of all this, Rift has 5 raid instances.
And oh yes one more, they have single player (or 2-player) versions of those raids, to include people who prefer not to raid in big groups.
Rift also has a down-leveling system to play with your friends at lower levels, and gain experience towards your Planar Attunement levels.
So back to GW2, it's great and I love it. I can't wait to play it. I'm going to love every minute of the leveling up experience, I can tell that already. The combat, I think, is superior to other games out there. But I just can't agree with a lot of the hype-posts about "JUST PLAY THE GAME!" or "ENDGAME STARTS AT LEVEL 2!" because I've played that game, and it's just not a valid argument when people question the longevity of the post-level-cap gameplay.
