But we maintain that the power of Christ's Cross and of His death is so great, that it will be sufficient for the healing and restoration not only of the present and future ages, but even for those of the past. ~Origen
i appreciate your well thought out response, and dont dispute that christs' suffering was prophesied in the old testament, what im getting at is the necessity of jesus' murder itself - was there no other situation that could have accomplished this end result?i dont think god was caught unawares, i just feel like if thats the solution GOD THOUGHT OF than its a pretty shady dealas for your numerous new testament references, i question the validity of alot of the bible as MANS WORD ABOUT GOD and not so much the WORD OF GOD - i believe stories like adam and eve and the noahs ark have been proven false, and in that line of thinking, might they just be mans attempt to understand divinity? or creation? or a terrible flood? (but not necesarily a worldwide one?)there is alot in the bible that the writers (and readers) have taken liberty with, its not an all or nothing equation, there is a logic to it that is undeniable, but there are details that have been, are, and will be refuted, and we, as followers of christ (as much by faith as by evidence) need to adjust to new realities as they reveal themselves, without dogmatically sticking to our gunsthat being said, i sit here and wonder what is wrong with MY thinking?
thanks for all of your responses, one thing you have shown me is that i am spiritually immature - the bad thing about that is that trying to understand things through God's 'lens of love' compared to what the church traditionally teaches is exhausting, and, believing in universalism, that i may be punished at the end of my life but that ultimately jesus will be my substitute, its not that i dont care to learn, i cant explain iti feel secure, like, im just investigating the details, but the big picture is already taken care ofand, id rather err on the side of 'mercy for jesus' than on that of a wrathful god
even as a universalist, i find it hard to believe in a God who would pour the sin of world on his son, to save humanityimo, its a matter of perspective - is it not possible, to have jesus' 'work' completed without the torture and murder?the book 'if grace is true' paints a different picture of the cross, basically extrapolating that the murder of jesus was mans ultimate refusal of Gods' grace, and, in the cant-keep-a-good-man-down line of thinking, his ressurection was God's way of refusing mans refusal of Jesusany insight would be appreciated - thanks
is it not possible, to have jesus' 'work' completed without the torture and murder?In my understanding, God does not need the cross. He is love and keeps no records of wrong. Mankind is the one whose guilt felt the need to sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin etc. God came down to end all that system so He could be with His people.
The cross is the only thing that makes our salvation the least bit good, according to St. Paul. Sorry. St. Paul was so emphatic on this point that he made the extra-firm statement that he was determined to know nothing amongst us except for Jesus Christ and Him crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks, but Christ and Him crucified is the wisdom of God and the power of God. This was the mystery which he spoke among the mature that wasn't according to the wisdom of this age or of it's rulers who are coming to nothing. For the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of man, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. He's taking the foolish things of this world -- i.e. crucifixion -- and bringing to nothing the wisdom of this world; the weak things of this world, and the things which are not to bring to nothing the things that are -- SO THAT no flesh should glory in His sight. He goes on to explain that THIS IS the mind of Christ.

Fertility FAQs
Can I still get pregnant if we use the "pulling out" method for birth control?
Yes. Seminal fluid (the fluid that occurs prior to ejaculation) contains sperm and if the timing is right (meaning you are ovulating) then you can get pregnant using this method. Remember it only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg.
I drank alcohol when I did not know that I was pregnant. Did I harm my baby?
It is highly unlikely to cause harm to your unborn baby by drinking alcohol prior to missing a period. At this stage, the fertilized egg may not have even implanted in the uterus yet. It is recommended to abstain from alcohol and drug use during pregnancy to prevent complications for both the mother and the baby.
I delivered my baby months ago and I still have not had a period?
If you are breastfeeding this is the most likely cause. Breastfeeding can delay the return of your period for up to a year. Thyroid problems can also delay the return of your period. If you are experiencing symptoms of a thyroid problem (fatigue, weight gain, inability to lose weight, constipation, and depression to name a few) you should contact your doctor and have you thyroid checked. Stress can also affect your cycle. FInally, if you are pregnant, you will not have a period.
I had unprotected sex and may be pregnant. How soon can I take a pregnancy test?
Home pregnancy tests detect the presence of the hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the urine. Generally, once you are late getting your period, you can take a test. Just note that some HPT's are not as sensitive as others and can take up to a week to detect HCG in the urine. So it is possible to get a false negative when you test earlier on.
Pregnancy has a vast array of signs and symptoms ranging from nausea to swollen and tender breasts to food aversions and cravings. The only true way to know if you are pregnant is to take a test (whether it be a home pregnancy test or a blood test ordered by your doctor ) or by ultrasound. Home pregnancy tests detect the presence of the hormone HCG in your urine. Some home pregnancy tests can detect HCG levels as early as 4-5 days prior to a missed period. However, other home pregnancy tests are not as sensitive and can take up to a week after a missed period to detect HCG. What this means is that it is possible to get a false negative if you test earlier on. Generally speaking, if you get a negative home pregnancy test and don't start your period, test again in another week or so. This will give HCG levels time to rise enough to be detected in your urine.
Serum pregnancy tests (or blood test) can detect HCG in the blood as soon as 7-12 days from conception. There are two types of serum pregnancy test- a quantitative HCG and a qualitative HCG. A quantitative HCG gives you the exact amount of HCG level in the blood stream. A qualitative HCG simply tells you if HCG is present in the bloodstream. Quantitative HCG levels are usually done every 48 hours and generally double every 48hours. When levels are > 2,000 miu/ml a gestational sac is usually visible with a transvaginal ultrasound. When levels are > 13,000 – 18,000 miu/ml a fetal heart beat can usually be seen.
If you miss your period and suspect that you may be pregnant, take a home pregnancy test. Remember that no form of birth control (except abstinence of course) is 100% effective. If you have a positive home pregnancy test, contact your doctor so that you can start your prenatal care as soon as possible.

As I picked up this lovely book and began to read it, many thoughts were racing through my head. I loved it, it was a great read, but... am I the only person who sat back and thought about every thing I would totally take if there was no one left to uphold the law?
When ever I re-read this story, I am always drifting off every fifty or so pages to think of the places that I would walk in to and what articles I would take. Okay, so I have a few selfish fantasies.
But please tell me, I'm not the only one.
Any of you ever had that feeling while reading?

Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber Heading for OrbitThursday, August 30th, 2007
Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill)
Luke Skywalker's lightaber from George Lucas' Star Wars will be heading into orbit aboard the space shuttle. Read on:
Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, the famed prop from George Lucas' Star Wars films, will blast into space aboard the space shuttle Discovery, which is scheduled for launch on Oct. 23.
In a Star Wars studded ceremony Tuesday in Oakland, Calif., the prop was handed over to officials from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) who will put the lightsaber on display at Space Centre Houston in Texas before the flight.
Storm troopers, Darth Vader, R2-D2 the erratic robot and even the giant Wookie Chewbacca were on hand to give the light saber a proper send off. It had been in storage at Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in California.
"We have had a relationship with NASA on a small scale with small events," said Tracy Cannobbio, a spokeswoman for Lucasfilm Ltd. "We just thought, we should do something together. It was a no-brainer."

These quarterbacks have big shoes to fill in 2014
Sure, football is a team sport. But when it comes down to it, the most important position on the field is quarterback.
In a state known for prolific passers and wide-open spread offenses, it's essential to have a quality signal-caller under center.
If your team was lucky to have a truly special quarterback under center for three or four years, replacing him this season won't be easy— to say the least. Some guys, however, might succeed from Day 1 just like Southlake Carroll's Ryan Agnew or Stephenville's Jarrett Stidham did last year.
Here is a look at some teams from around the state that will be replacing their top gunslinger from a year ago.
Denton Guyer
Out: Arguably the top dual-threat quarterback in the state, Jerrod Heard was a man among boys at the 4A level last season. Heard, who signed with Texas and is drawing comparisons to Vince Young, passed and rushed for over 2,000 yards, scored 49 total touchdowns and led Denton Guyer to the 4A Division I state title.
In: Denton Guyer has some options, but the favorite to start is sophomore Shawn Robinson. Like Heard, Robinson, who transferred in from Saginaw Chisholm Trail, is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback. He already has varsity experience— he passed for 1,123 yards, rushed for 624 yards and scored 17 total touchdowns as a freshman last season. The wildcard is Kevin Dillman, a Nebraska commit who transferred in from California. Dillman is recovering from an Achilles injury, and his status is still unknown.
Out: Patrick Mahomes set East Texas on fire last season as he passed for 4,597 yards, rushed for 943 yards and scored a whopping 65 touchdowns. Mahomes was simply unstoppable and was the main catalyst in an offense that put up absurd numbers. Mahomes decided to sign with Texas Tech rather than pursue a professional baseball career.
In: Jackson Allen has been waiting in the wings and will finally get his turn to lead the Whitehouse offense this season. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound senior is a dual-threat quarterback and gained some experience last season. In limited playing time, Allen passed for 232 yards and a touchdown.
Out: With a cannon for an arm, Blake Bogenschutz, a three-year starter, put up monster numbers a year ago. Bogenschutz threw for 4,003 yards and 57 touchdowns with only four interceptions as he guided Carthage to the 3A Division I state title. Bogenschutz signed with UTSA after a stellar career with the Bulldogs.
In: While Bogenschutz's production and leadership will be missed, Carthage is ready to start a new chapter in program history. And it's looking like it will be led by junior Jarod Blissett. A pretty darn good baseball player, Blissett, who stands at 6-foot, 200-pounds, is a solid athlete and has potential. It's just a matter of getting accustomed to being 'the guy' after passing for a mere 81 yards in 2013.
Out: The man the myth, the legend, Travis Quintanilla was inarguably one of the top small-school quarterbacks this state has ever seen. If numbers really don't lie, Quintanilla is the best ever. He owns just about every Texas high school passing record and has a state ring to boot. But Quintanilla's reign is over, and he will be playing his college ball at Texas A&M Kingsville.
In: When asked how he plans to replace Quintanilla's production, Refugio coach Jason Herring simply said, 'we're going to skin the cat a little differently.' Sophomore Jaylon Mascorro takes over under center and will provide a dual-threat element that Quintanilla did not. Mascorro is a terrific athlete who started at free safety as a freshman last season and was named the district's Newcomer of the Year.
FW All Saints
Out: The best quarterback down in the private school ranks was Foster Sawyer. There is just no argument. At 6-foot-5, 210-pounds, Sawyer was a pure pocket passer with a rocket arm. Sawyer, who signed with hometown TCU, passed for 3,172 yards and 48 touchdowns with just two interceptions.
In: Ryan Suitt is transferring in from Granbury after an impressive junior campaign. If Suitt gets a quick grasp of All Saints' spread offense, there is no reason he shouldn't put up big numbers. Last season, Suitt passed for 2,248 yards, rushed for 416 yards and scored 30 total touchdowns and was named the district's Newcomer of the Year.

Sophomore Kevin Malone (Carrollton, Ohio) got UTC started at heavyweight. He scored a 2-1 overtime win against Chris Lopez for a 3-0 lead. Sophomore Nick Soto (Spring Hill, Fla.) followed that with a 14-1 major decision over Dominic Olivieri at 125, giving the Mocs a 7-0 advantage.
Freshman Marvin Lopez (Cleveland, Tenn.) was also impressive in his 5-3 win over Logan Arlis. Lopex used a takedown in the first period, a reversal in the second, and over four minutes of riding time to improve to 8-7 on the year.
The Mocs are 4-5 in duals this season, while Illinois improved to 4-0. Four of the Mocs five losses have come against teams ranked the top-20, including three in the top-10.
UTC could not get another win in the final seven matches of the dual. Senior Josh Condon (Powder Springs, Ga.) came the closest, falling 5-4 to No. 8 Conrad Polz. Condon scored on three escapes and a stalling penalty in the loss.
Neither team was at full strength today. Illinois used four backups at 125, 133, 197 and heavyweight, while the Mocs were without junior Alex Hudson (149) and senior Niko Brown (197).
"We are both dinged up a little bit, and really this match did not mean a whole lot for us or them," stated head coach Heath Eslinger. "We are getting ready to get into our conference schedules, but considering the circumstances, I am not extremely frustrated. We have a good two weeks of training setup where we have to din a way to get better. I think we can go on an 8-0 run and be ready for the conference tournament and the national tournament."
"Kevin's our heavyweight and he has to find a way to win those matches," added Eslinger. "Soto looked good. Obviously, they did not send their best guy out, but all you can do is wrestler the guy they put out there. Marvin got a big win and he has to get on a roll and get excited about the postseason."
The Mocs are back in action on Jan. 27 when they open Southern Conference action against The Citadel. Match time is set for 2:00 p.m. in Maclellan Gym. The Bulldog match is Legends Weekend for Mocs wrestling. For more information on Legends Weekend, check the Legends Weekend Letter & Registration on the side bar of the wrestling page on GoMocs.com. Tickets are on sale now on GoMocs.com or by calling the UTC Ticket Office at (423) 266-MOCS (6627).

There are two reasons, I'm leaving the pc gaming community and this article touches on one of them. My desktop is for sale right now, I can't wait to get out. Yes the community on consoles as a whole is not very good, but at least the pay for this and pay for that isn't there and the people I roll with I personally know.

interesting F2P games are letting all types of players into the game and it lets people do whatever they want but I never thought about it being a major problem

"Playing things I shouldn''t be playing since 1977."
I've observed, over the last several years, the "casinofication" of MMOs.
I hesitate to say that MMOs have become gambling houses, but they are using the techniques of casinos to prey on the segment of the population that can become addicted to casinos.
"Free to Play," if we are to call it that, is simply a method of enticing an individual to spend more money. Notice, you never spend "cash" in the casino...or in the FtP item shops. You use what ammounts to casino tokens, a level of abstraction one step removed from the cash, so you'll part with it easier.

Not sure how I got K.A.E.S last PvP was CoD and UO lol
It's not just F2P .. most games now are just looking at WoW and basing around that :-(
Which means we beta test it and the community is great, we hit the headstart and it has slightly declined as people start with the comments about game being like WoW, insults to those speaking other languages etc etc
And so the community starts to spinter, I remember when i started playing mmo's .. back when it was just a choice of Meridian 59 or UO :-)
Now that back then had a GREAT community, if you got killed by a red, then you could head back to town and others would get together and go lynch him/them.
SWG .. first time I played that players banded together to go out and fight, year or two later it had changed but still ok, decent community, great if you liked trade as well as do combat. Unfortunately after the NGE it started to decline more as players left due to more than just the change of the game. They found that friends and guild members had left and it killed the community as they left to be with their friends.
Then game hoping began to grow as we'd try a new title hoping it would bring back the feeling of one of the oldfer games, then find get dissapointed and try another and another etc
Some titles are still going .. UO despite the changes made to it :-(
AO which had a marvellous community but has whittled down, I have a Sub & F2P account to that due to the cost of the sub
EvE online which has been dumbed down since I first played but there's always a good amount playing
P2P / F2P .. if the game doesn't have a good community then it's going to decline, F2P has an advantage in that you can put it down and pick it up and there's no cost, P2P then you check to see the game state before parting with your cash and people post negatives more than positives.
Anyone remember when people used Noob as an insult, not to also describe a new player needing help (Newb)

Let me clarify for everyone in this thread: I DID mean to say Star Wars Galaxies.
Let me explain this. SW:toR, to me, was nothing epic or revolutionary. I only ever played it a handful of times in beta and at friends' houses before I decided I hated the game. SWG, on the other hand, despite all it's flaws, was fun for me. The community was absolutely AMAZING, because it consisted of dedicated MMORPG players, and Star Wars Fanatics who, no matter how bad the game was, were determined to enjoy it. For anyone who ever hated on SWG, you never went to a lively cantina, you never stumbled across a campsite where you made friends out on foreign planets, you never got to be a part of the limitless planet exploration. For all the things that SWG did wrong (see: just about everything) the game did succeed in one aspect; it had a soul. People interacted, talked, role-played even. There was a community of players who, despite the boundaries of inferior programming, bug-testing, and optimizing, managed to make an atmosphere that was still tolerable.
If you're one to disagree with the notion that SWG did do some things well, that's fine, as I stated that in the article. However, please don't read my article, and then bring in totally unrelated, irrelevant hatred of SW:toR.
I'll continue posting as I read through this :)

This is a really good example, in my mind, of my thoughts on this subject.
Let's compare gaming to fire. In my opinion, F2P games burn like wildfires; they have no real direction, eat up as much area as possible in a short time, and blanket whole areas. There's no real direction or focus, it picks up with the wind, carries it in different directions towards different people, and after awhile, it becomes contained. P2P games burn like controlled fires; they can start off small, and their direction and size can be dictated and directly influenced via interaction. It's easier to limit damages and direction of the fire, and similar to a bonfire, you can pick who is involved (to a degree) and how many people get to see it.
Like Gruug said, F2P caters to EVERYONE. As a result, it saps any sense of originality or unique aspects right out of a title, because anything I might like, someone else might NOT like. It butchers creativity and innovation, because if the companies take a risk that people don't like, their customers leave in droves for the next best thing. F2P reminds me, in a sense, of a blue-chip stock. Nothing new, stay-with-what-works, little gains here and there but nothing substantial.
P2P can be catered towards very specific niches in the market. Eve Online is a great example; the community is essentially player-run, and has a very set and established group of players who have been around for YEARS! I'd dare to say it has one of the most established communities ever created in an MMORPG. It's tried multiple new things, but it stays true to it's loyal and dedicated fans, relying on the product to sell itself, moreso than a cash shop to fund it's development.
These factors are reasons why I'm not a fan of F2P. I like feeling cared about and special in my games! Hahaha. I don't like being "Oh, well, there's another number....". When I'm paying for my game monthly, I know that I'm not only paying for it, but I'm funding the contiual development of a game I enjoy, a team that I feel is on the right track, and an atmosphere I want to be a part of. It's like a cover charge at a club, really. In a sense, just by slapping "P2P" on a title, you're weeding out a lot of players off the bat (the ones who won't pay to play, who can't for whatever reason, etc)
Also, a key point I didn't touch on specifically has been mentioned by a few of you. It's the attitude of developers that does have a lot to do with this as well. For any of you who want a glimpse into what kind of person some of the gaming industry's largest CEO's are like, I recommend this read: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=128252

Why is it said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions? Is there a shortage of bad ones?
yeah the tokens vs money issue has been brought up in several places and in my own community.. PW is a prime example of that with thier Eden Crystal wheel of torture.. "you can win 20k Eden Crystals" yeah as far as Ive heard noone has yet... and some have spent upwards of 8k Eden Crystals in trying.. Thier forums are filled with complaints and its not getting any more popular.
oh and if youre in the dark about the wheel of torture for Eden Crystals its Perfect Worlds Eden Eternal gambling system, you have to have 99 Eden Crystals just to attempt it.. then once you are in game you can use thos eden crystals to gamble some more on the "Crystal Altar" its friggin rediculous.. and the Eden Crystals can be won with the loot chest via thier ignite launcher (has never happened for me.. gained a crap load of useless scrolls, a few charms and one bag enlarger scroll but no crystals or you can order them from the in game store @ 10 for 499 Aria points or 50 for 2450 Aria points.
Aria point cost = 1 dollar per 101 AP
so 10 Eden Crystals 5 bucks...
50 Eden Crystals 25 bucks
99 Eden Crystals 50 bucks..
if you consider the number of eden crystals needed to gamble on the wheel of torture and the Crystal alter it adds up to hundreds of dollars very easily...

So I'm supposed to pay for something I think is garbage, just to satisfy "the community?" I played WoW since launch and saw it transform from a dar fantasy to a cheap Wal-Mart kiddie game. No thanks. Itried Secret World. The interface was a killer for me. I'm not spending 15 bucks a month on something I have to contnuously put up with.
SWTOR and Rift. Both just wow clones, But at least they understood how important a GUI is in an MMO.
Right now I'm playing Xcom and GW2. Show me a MMO thats worth 15 beans a month and I'll play it.

No one in game development has managed (apparently) to figure out and replicate the aspects that made it enjoyable. But taking it for a competantly built game is a mistake.

A lot of what you mention hs no relation to free-to-play at all. World of Warcraft was polluted with all the negative behaviors you associate with F2P well before F2P was even remotely viable. Gold farmers and bots leave their mark on every game, it's the games responsibility to deal with them. Many Pay 2 Play games are over run, or were at one point, with bots and gold spammers. Heck, after six years of playing WoW (I'm not purposly picking on WoW, it's just my longest played MMO and therefore the source of most of my examples) gold spam actually got worse, not better. And that had nothing to do with the introduction of free trials. You try farming enough gold to sell on a pre-level 20 character, and get back to me on that one.
In all honestly, what's killing the MMO market is the same thing that's wrong with everything else, people today have no patience for anything. They expect perfection from everyone but themselves, and expect everyone to cater to their every whim. Just yesterday I was reading on the GW2 forums that being "forced" to PVP to get 100% map completion was "ridiculous" and the player had a "right" to the achievement. This mindset is killing games. You don't have a "right" to anything in a game. You have the "right" to use your access to the game to experience different parts of it, but not all those parts will be for you, and the ones that aren't aren't. Remember when we used to accept that doing everything wasn't possible for everyone?
I can remmeber playing single player games, and not being quite skilled enough to get some of the harder objectives (fighting Bass's final form in some of the Megaman Battle Network games for instance, never could S rank all the other bosses to get 100% chip completion) but I certainly never dreamed of complaining to Capcom that the game was too hard and because I paid for it I had a "right" to that part of the game. I accepted my own shortcomings and used the experience to forge myself into a better gamer.
Anyway I'm getting ranty. F2P is not what's killing the genre, the people that are playing the games are. Until developers stop catering to every vocal minority that can construct a forum post, the decline will continue, and there's nothing we can do about it except smarten up.

Excellent conclusion to the first article; well-done.
I guess the question for new developers to tackle, beyond the marketing money I mentioned in response to your last article on this topic, is how to build a cohesive community that is policed, whether by the game company, or by volunteers within the community.
MechWarrior Online is actually an excellent example of a community policing itself. PGI has chosen folks and asked them to join the team, volunteering their time to aid in policing the community and, from all I saw, it was being used to great effect. The BattleTech/ MechWarrior community is, of course, vociferous and extremely passionate, but it's always been a fairly decent community to begin with; MWO just helped re-establish my faith in the community, in general. Anyway, kudos to PGI; perhaps this can be a new model for other communities, as well?

I won't say that I completely hate non-sub games since I like GW2, but I have not really enjoyed F2P or former P2P that become F2P.
I really tried hard in EQ2 to enjoy the Extended version before the rest of the game was changed as well. I didn't enjoy the nickle and diming. I didn't like the community and the fact that it seemed like people did not ever get caught out by GMs if acting badly. I didn't like how payers subsidized free players or that there was a two tier community between those who paid and had more powerful characters and those were were free and were rather weak in comparison.
Also, customer support seemed much better on the Live servers.
Even so, I really fault SOE and any other dev that hosts a cash shop in a sub game that is really in your face. Even though SOE does not advertize in EQ2 as ruthessly as some companies (Turbine for example with its glowing gold coin icons over NPCs in LotRO), just the xp potions alone were enough to try to put pressure on players to pay more than their sub. Certainly, a few times when I went leveling with my guildies, they were all outleveling me while we were grouped up. I wondered why, and asked them, well it was because they bought xp potions in the cash shop. Just great!
To me that really breaks the spirit of gaming: worrying about what is new in the cash shop and spending time browsing that rather than playing the game, or being forced to go to the cash shop to unlock new material, seeing icons related to the cash shop in the game or in its UI, being forced to have a two tiered player base just based on how much they are willing to spend... etc.
Sure, I know my primary game, WoW, has a cash shop too, but the thing is that it is so exterior to the game itself it does not break immersion and to be honest, I have never ever visited and do not feel compelled to. I still find it reprehensible that it exists at all, but at least it is barely there.

I agree with what you're saying but at some point I have to draw the line. Star Trek Online, my current haunt is F2P and the community seems stable. I'm even in a very active Fleet (guild) with friends I've had since launch... these are the closest freinds I've had in an online game since Ultima Online or the first version of Star Wars Galaxies.
F2P is just another evolution in the gaming world. Before F2P there was just Subscription. Before Subscription there was just SInge Player or Multiplayer/LAN. Before that it was Pen and Paper games. In another 5 or 10 years you'll be complaining about the next big evolution in gaming. If you want a community you need to build it. As you said there are always going to be trolls, ragers, and flamers. Build your social walls, type /ignore, and have some fun meeting people like yourself who want to enjoy their favorite game (be it F2P or P2P).
The better title to your article would be, Greed is killing Gaming.

F2P "evolved" in my mind because developers said to themselves "Why get $12.95 a month from 200,000 people when we could snatch up anywhere from $5-100 a month from MILLIONS of players?"

On the other hand we have WoW. Lets see at $15 a month x approx 10m subs = Thats $150m per month. $1.8 billion per year, just sin subs alone. That not even account for their own cash shop as well as the cost of expansions (likely another couple hundred million per year average, bringing them to around $2 billion or more per year). Theyre making piles of money, yet are still charging the same fee as they did when the game was brand new. They could easily get by and make a shitload of money at half that cost, yet you dont see that happening after all these years. Id consider that to be greed more than anything else.

I'm sure someone else cleared it up, but I need to point out a factual error in the article.
Final Fantasy XIV's subscriptions were frozen for over a year while SE worked out how they wanted to proceed with the game. They knew the game wasn't ready, they knew it wasn't complete, and they felt it was wrong to ask people to pay a subscription for it. So, while they got their crap together, shuffled around their staff and created a new road-map for where they would take the game, SE halted all subscriptions for anyone who owned the game.
When they successfully achieved all of what they set out to, and they felt the game had been satisfactorily patched and improved to represent the "base" of what a MMORPG should offer to its players, they resumed subscriptions - and at a reduced rate.
It's really irresponsible and reckless to throw out information as "facts" that haven't been properly researched.
As for the topic of F2P... Personally, I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if F2P/Cash Shops - or virtual Cash Shops went away tomorrow. But that's neither here nor there.
It isn't even about "which is better", in any subjective way. The fact is, for each model to work, the developer needs to make money. Otherwise, the game goes offline, the developer closes shop, and no one gets to play it. Anyone who thinks developers are being "kind" or "generous" to their players by making a game F2P, they're incredibly naive. They don't go F2P because they want less money. They do it because they want more money, and they know Cash Shops are the way to achieve that. History has already proven that out.
What it boils down to for me is the way a game designed for each model earns its revenue.
For a subscription based game, the developer has to earn my sub money every month. That means they have to provide me an experience that is entertaining, engaging and lasting enough for me to want to keep playing. And I want it to last. My hopes and expectations going into a new MMO is measured in years, not weeks or months. If I play a MMO for a month or two and then feel bored and burned out on it, then it's failed (for me) as a MMORPG.
Cash Shops, on the other hand, are all about getting people to buy items as frequently as possible, for as much as possible. The entire game is designed around that requirement. Saying "but all those items are optional" is a very disingenuous statement that completely misses the point. It's not whether or not people have to buy those items that Cash Shops succeed or fail on. It's that people will spend money on those items. Developers don't just dream up stuff they "think people will like". They're stocking their cash shops with stuff they already know people will buy, and they design the game very specifically around making sure people do.
For me, it's subscriptions all the way. I would much rather know my money is going toward developers and designers creating new and interesting content to engage and interest me in their worlds, than to know that my money is going toward designers finding new ways to "monetize me" through cash shop sales.
I play MMORPGs to be engaged, entertained and immersed in a virtual world. I don't play them to go shopping for virtual items in an online mal. It also irks me to know that such items are deliberately kept out of my reach - even though they're already stored on my hard drive.

I totally agree with this article nice to see that at least some see the ftp push for what it is nothing but a nickel and diming money grab. I also agree about the communities in most games now for every decent person I run into it's 10 that have absolutely no social skills whatsoever and will do anything to run you over or just use you as a tool on the path to their epicness. God forbid if you make a mistake while in a group or if you havn't already run this dungeon 100 times and don't have each mob's ai memorized. You'll either get flamed till you quit or get kicked out of the group or guild.
Console gaming is no better. The average game is less then 10 hours of gameplay for $60 but for $10 here and another $10 there you can download all the rest of the content that should have been in the game from the begining.
How all the people have fallen for the ftp scam and the "downloadable extras" console scam is beyond me. I just vote with my wallet and avoid all of it.
I do see the future of games turning into nothing but stuff like plant vs zombies and angry birds if this trend continues.

I'm sorry but the whole article is lacking anything close to resembling a scientific method for coming up with any conclusions. The opinion piece at hand preys upon an already developed dislike of a genre and attempts to make connections that were not there. You could have switched poor community to poor crop growth in the mid west and you would still have basically the same thing with the same "evidence".
The article completely lets the culture of gaming and how its developed over the past decade completely off the hook and instead places something the writer is trying to preach against to come to the fore front.
F2P model articles should focus on the concept of addiction spending, and other issues that arrise from F2P. Trying to take a major complaint of mmo players and pin it on something irrelevent, seems a waste of time in my opinion.
To pander to playerbase dislikes you can follow up this article with
"How F2P has destroyed the sandbox genre" This will fire up those passionate for sandbox games.
"How F2P has kept open world PvP from being a priority of developers" would fire up pvp'ers.
Hell, If you wanted to create an article to really fire up people that are already angry you should have gone with
"How EA invented F2P so they could steal your money" That would combine your F2P crowd, with the EA crowd, and would definitely get some forum flames burning.
Ask the question in forums, "what destroyed community's in mmo's" and you will not get F2P as an answer, you will get gear treadmills, auction houses, pvp, and a hundred other answers. When developers made games a rat race the playerbase evolved, or devolved(whichever suits your opinion), hell even threads follow the same rules "FIRST".

"You just never know what a mission will involve until you accept it. Some have you completing mini-games, others have you sliding down huge slides and collecting stars, others have you rushing to the highest points of an area and still others ask you to run toward through cluttered environments while an enemy chases you. If you dont feel like completing a mission at the moment, you dont have to."

He (rightly) suspects that Joe's bomb is fake, Monica has a surprise method of coping and Sonny visits "Madame."
Just as Nikolas is about to go nuts on Joe, Jason thinks quickly and knocks him out. Agitated, Joe tells Sam to find out how his wife is because if something happens to the baby, he will lose the last reason he has to live. Kelly comes out and says that she can't find any good news for him until she is able to give Angela some tests and she needs help. Joe agrees to whatever she needs and Kelly goes to find Monica to help her.
Down the hall Monica is chugging vodka from a flask. Kelly finds her and she says she'll be right there. Right after she fills her water bottle with vodka.
Back in the ER, Mayor Floyd, Dr. Russell and Edward quarrel about how to handle the situation while Joe sits with Sam and explains how things got so bad for him. Jason takes it all in as Joe and Sam reminisce about an antique car that used to sit on his lot.
Down the hall, Liz begs Lucky to leave her there and take Jake to safety. Lucky says that he can get them both, but the nurse says that Liz has lost a lot of blood and can't go anywhere. Liz tries to talk, but passes out.
Across town, Carly is leaving a voice mail for Diane when Jax comes down for breakfast. She explains that she has to find Jason a lawyer, but can't tell him why. She promises to explain later, but Jax locks the door instead and says it's time for an intervention. He points out how obsessive she is about Jason and insists that he's not jealous. Carly is frustrated and spills the beans about Jason being Jake's father. She says that Jason needs to fight for custody and Jax says that it's none of her business. He says that he's trying to concentrate on his own family and then tells her how badly he wants to have a child with her.
Out at the monastery, Lulu has managed to get out of her room, but is spooked by the things she sees in the dark cavern she has ended up in. Meanwhile Monk Spinelli is allowed to deliver some food to her room, but finds her bed stuffed with blankets. The guard comes in behind Spinelli and is taken by surprise when Spinelli takes off his hood and knocks him out. Outside, Logan and Johnny argue over how badly Spinelli is going to bungle things. They decide to look for another way in, but separate to cover more ground.
In Benson Hurst, "Where Sonny goes, trouble follows," a guy named Moose jokes as he pulls up a chair to sit with Sonny and Kate at the restaurant. He and Sonny laugh about old times and finally Moose tells Kate that she looks familiar. Sonny looks disappointed when she introduces herself as Kate Howard. Moose tells Sonny that the place isn't the same anymore, but they still have "Madame", the fortune teller machine. He gives them some tokens and goes to check on their order. Sonny questions "Connie" why she couldn't just be herself. As he talks about how much they feel for each other - and always have, he pulls the box from his pocket once again. When Kate reminds him that they never got together back then because of "timing," Sonny puts the box back in his pocket.
Back at GH, Kelly and Monica tell Angela that her baby is swollen and could be suffering from heart failure. Angela is worried, but they don't say much. Out in the lobby, Jason gets gutsy and decides to challenge Joe. As everyone urges him not to, he reaches for the hand that holds the detonator. Finally he wrestles it away from Joe's grasp and announces that it wasn't a real bomb. Jason tells Joe that after hearing him talk about his son, there's no way he would risk his life that way. Just then, Mac and the cops come in and take Joe away.
Dr. Ford immediately orders Angela to be taken to County General, but Cassius speaks up and asks why it always has to be about money to him. Jason rushes to Liz's curtain area and finds Lucky, Jake and Liz holding Jake and marveling over how much better he is doing. Epiphany tries to get back to work but breaks down in tears. "Oh it hurts!" she sobs as Cassius sits next to her. Down the hall, Sam finds Lucky and says that she'd like to go home, but Lucky says that he wants to make sure things are okay with Liz and Jake for a while.
Edward congratulates Jason for "the real Quartermaine spirit" that he showed, but Monica just storms off in the opposite direction. She ends up checking in on Jake and Jason looks on as she plays with him.
Patrick tells Nikolas about the blood tests that they ran on him (after they provoked a rage), and Nikolas doesn't appreciate being a test animal. Angry, he walks over to Dr. Ford and says that if he sends Angela to County he'll withdraw every dime he's ever donated to the hospital. Dr. Ford quickly signs her papers to let her stay. Nadine tells Nik that Emily would be pleased, but she would also want him to take care of himself. Nikolas turns to Patrick and says that he'll admit himself and wait for those blood results.
Back at Carly's house, her demeanor changes completely as she admits to Jax that her Christmas surprise was supposed to be that she conceived his child. She tells him how hard she's been trying and Jax says that she shouldn't be doing this alone. This is their journey to take together, he says, and Carly says that she would really like that. They pour some wine and get started on their joint project.
Meanwhile, it's Johnny who comes across Lulu in the darkened halls of the monastery first. She's freezing and thinks that she's broken her foot. She asks him what he has to do with this and then pushes him away when he tries to help her. He falls down and cuts his leg. Johnny starts mumbling something about the legendary monk that Spinelli told him about and looks for a wall with a door in it. They find it and can't believe what they see inside. But then - they can't believe that the door has locked behind them.
As Sonny and Kate recall their past, a young couple in the corner giggles about what "Madame" the fortune teller has told them. Kate admits how scared she used to be to hear what Madame had to say, and Sonny hands her a token. They walk over to the machine and Kate recalls the time her fortune read, "You will lose yourself in someone else." Sonny reminds her that's exactly what happened and the person was Kate Howard. She puts her coin in the slot and is astounded by what comes out. "You are two different people." She insists that Sonny go next. He doesn't want to mess with the future, but eventually puts his token in the slot.
Next on General Hospital:
Nadine and Leyla discuss how to deal with Patrick.
Leyla takes off her shirt.
Robin gets a surprise from Kelly.
Sonny gets down on one knee.

The Pushmataha County Junior Bassmasters held their second state qualifying bass fishing tournament on Hugo Lake on Saturday, August 20. The tournament was sponsored by FirstBank of Atoka. FirstBank donated $300.00 to the club to be used for prizes for each angler that competed.
With temperatures forecasted to be around 108 degrees, tournament hours were shortened to start at safe light and end at 1:00 p.m.
The Southeastern Oklahoma FFA Rodeo Series will be making it's first stop in Hugo on August 25th through the 27th.
Some of the events that will be included in this rodeo are Sr. and Jr. Bulls, Barrels, Poles, Bronc Riding, Goat Tying, Steer Wrestling and many others. There will also be calf riding for the little ones 8 years of age and under.
This event is open for participants who are 19 and under. Saddles will be awarded to High Point. Boys and girls junior ages are 12 and under and 14 and under for bulls.
Parker Taylor, a 2011 Rattan High School Graduate, recently signed with Carl Albert Junior College to play baseball this year.
Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held a bass tournament on August 13, at Sardis Lake. The temperature during the club's last four bass tournaments had reached well above the one hundred-degree mark, but only reached into the upper nineties for this one. A welcomed change. The cooler temps, however, did not seem to make the bass want to bite anymore than when it was extremely hot. Only four anglers were able to catch two or more keeper bass.
A lot of changes have been taking place at Antlers Public Schools. They have not only welcomed a new Superintendent of schools but also a new head football coach onto their staff.
Two local student-athletes received rather special awards at week long basketball camp that they attended in Oklahoma City July 10th through the 15th. While at the Oklahoma Christian Cage Camp the girls practiced and learned new skills, participated in scrimmages and took on other teams from all over the state in games. On the last day of camp an awards ceremony was held for the 250 plus attendees who participated throughout the week.
Although we have been hit with record breaking temperatures and no rain, fishing is apparently still going good for Faith and Asa Miller. They caught these large crappie on the Kiamichi River.
Antlers Springs Golf Course is closing.
I hate it but there is no other course of action. We barely make enough to mow, much less make improvements. Without local support we cannot continue.
There are few people coming into the game and many people giving it up for various reasons. I talk to people regularly who say that they haven't played in a couple of years or more. These people used to play avidly.
Push County lost Nashoba Valley Golf Course a few years ago due to the same reasons. I know how Lee Helmke felt and it is not a good feeling.
On July 30, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club competed in a bass tournament on Hugo Lake. Once again, temperatures reached above one hundred degrees. The extended heat wave we have been experiencing has caused the surface temperature of the lake water to reach the mid-nineties. This excessive warm water has apparently caused the bass to become sluggish and slowed the bite down considerably.

It wasn't until the nurse practioner pointed it out last week that it dawned on me.
I've become Phyllis Vining.
I worked with Phyllis a very brief time around 1995. She was hired to sell ads at the paper I worked for and from the time she walked in the door, I knew she was different.
I thought she was elderly back then-now I realize she was probably mid-50s but in her mind Phyllis was no more than 25-only the lines around her eyes gave away her secret.
My name is Jeff and I am a television addict." I can picture my first visit to the televisionaholics anonymous meeting. Well, I am not quite so bad that I must join TA. Of course, all of us "aholics" say we are not so addicted to those things to which we are addicted.
We can all give up "x," or "y" or "z" any time we want.
For instance, I might say, "Just let me watch The Simpsons, Family Guy and King of the Hill and I'll let American Dad go by the wayside this week, just to prove how I can handle this habit."
My car suffers from a bad case of dutch elm disease. Or oak blight.
I guess whatever ailment it has comes from parking under the trees at my house.
Being vertically challenged, I don't see the roof of the car.
Perhaps that's why I didn't know the car was ailing from some alien rash.
Sunday afternoon brought it all home.
I washed-yes, hand-washed-my car. That in itself is an accomplishment.
I am not a car washer.
It's a bone of contention between Tom and me.
No Fair
Life is not fair.
Saturday at about 7:30 a.m., my wife Sharon and I left to go to the Florida State Fair in Tampa.
I had plans to take photos of award-winning cattle and to have lots of fun.
I drove our Jeep on Alt. 27 to catch I-75 at Ocala, but it was very foggy.
I decided to go down U.S. Highway 19 instead, because the traffic would be slower and lighter than on the Interstate.
Shortly after going through Chiefland on 19, we smelled smoke.
Teams that win a lot – a whole lot – usually draw animosity.
Seems folks just plain get sick and tired of watching the same teams win time and again.
Look at the New York Yankees. Many like to point at George Steinbrenner with disgust as he tries to buy another World Series.
People even got fed up with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls– dynasty in the '90s. Jordan shuffled off to play baseball before coming back to the NBA with the Bullets.
Which brings us to the New England Patriots.
I keep my politics to myself. I've been voting since I was 18 and have missed only one election during that time. In the course of all those elections, city, state and federal, I have not discussed my vote with anyone.
Years ago when the state of Georgia was pondering a lottery with proceeds aimed at education, my then-husband and I were at odds on how to vote. We discussed the pros and cons right up until the Tuesday we voted.
Last fall our parent company sent a demographic survey pertaining to the reading preferences of Levy Countians based on subscriptions monitored by the U.S. Postal Service and amassed by an advertising agency for marketing purposes.
It included a wide range of periodicals received via mail by Levy County readers based on statement of ownership documents that must be filed with the postal service annually.
We were thankful to see that the Chiefland Citizen remains the most-read newspaper in the area surpassing other weeklies and three dailies.
Mojo. The dictionary defines it as a magical spell, but to loyal fans, mojo means much more.
It is a religion to live by. It takes normal rational human beings and turns them into superstitious individuals.
Mojo is knowing what jersey to wear to the game. It's knowing when to take it off when things aren't going quite right, only to expose the team shirt underneath. To change the shirt at halftime is to give mojo a kick in the pants.
I'm SAD. Not the morose, unhappy emotion that many people feel but SAD, as in Seasonal Affective Disorder.
I have suffered from this problem for as long as I can remember, but it was only 10-12 years ago that I was able to put a name on the feelings, the very real feelings I endure for about six weeks out of every year.
It's more than winter doldrums. It's more than just a case of melancholia, because even when I don't feel especially depressed, I have absolutely no energy to complete the most simple of everyday tasks.
I have almost 200 pounds of black walnuts, some riding shotgun in my car and some weighing down the trunk.
Problem is, I don't know what to do with them.
How I came to acquire so many was a bad communication gap.
Sometime around Thanksgiving, Tom called to say he and future son-in-law Brett were raking leaves and had a difficult time because of all the %^$#! black walnuts.
"Black walnuts!" I exclaimed. "I would love to have some for baking. Save me some and when I come up Christmas, I'll get them."

Marty Rouse
National Field Director
As National Field Director, Marty Rouse is tasked with mobilizing the Human Rights Campaign's more than one million and a half members and supporters to effect change at the federal, state and local level.
In 2012, HRC's Field Team worked to affirm same-sex marriage laws at the ballot in Maryland and Washington, won marriage equality for the first time in history proactively at the ballot in Maine, and defended against an anti-equality constitutional amendment in Minnesota.
Earlier this year, Marty and his team partnered with key coalition members to pass marriage equality laws in Rhode Island, Minnesota, and Delaware. HRC is currently focusing on adding Hawaii and Illinois to the marriage equality win column this year and New Jersey and New Mexico in 2014. HRC's Field Team also worked with local partners to pass a non-discrimination ordinance in San Antonio, TX – America's 7th most populous city – in the summer of 2013.
Before joining HRC in 2006, Rouse led MassEquality, the statewide group in Massachusetts that successfully defended marriage equality in the Bay State. Under Rouse's leadership, MassEquality became a national advocacy model that combined grassroots organizing with strategic electoral focus.
Rouse, a Maryland resident, is the proud parent of two sons who are growing too fast, Sasha and David.

Two hurt in Clarendon pileupFebruary 07,2013Two drivers sustained minor injuries in a three-vehicle crash on Route 7 in Clarendon, according to Vermont State Police.
The crash, which took place at the intersection of North Shrewsbury Road and Route 7 at about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday, occurred when the driver of a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee failed to yield at a flashing red light signal, police said.
The Jeep, driven by 17-year-old Edward Montgomery of West Rutland, collided with a 2009 Honda Civic driven by David Graham, 46, of Clarendon and a 1999 Chevrolet truck driven by Jerry Gorton, 48, of Brandon.
Police say all three drivers were wearing their seat belts and Gorton was uninjured in the crash.
Montgomery, who suffered cuts and bruises, and Graham, who had bruises and possible internal injuries that were not life threatening, were taken by Regional Ambulance Service to Rutland Regional Medical Center.MORE IN This Just InNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks.

AVAILABILITY: Unavailable for immediate shipment.
With shimmering logo at back, pretty turquoise and black colorblocking and comfy racerback cut, this super-soft BEBE SPORT tank is a stylish way to break a sweat. Made for high-impact activity from moisture-wicking and fast-drying fabrics.
- 77% nylon, 23% spandex
- Center back to hem: 20" (51 cm)
- Nylon jersey bra shelf
- Machine wash
- Made in USA with imported materials
- Model is 5'9" and wears a US size S
Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Childsta Really Nice This is my second Bebe sports top that I have purchased. I like the great style and color. The fabric is great and the fit is good. The only gripe that I have is that they are not very breast friendly. Meaning that they flatten everything in. I know that this is what sports bras are supposed to do but a pad would be great in order to give more of a curvy look to the outfit. I have to wear a sports bra underneath in order for me to look like I have breasts. This is the only reason why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Oh?if you could please give more room for us ladies that have a little more in the hip area, it would be great as the top constantly folds us because it does not compensate for my extra hip action. 34? 26? 38?. October 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bebebliss Excellent fit, sleek, and very comfortable! A racerback tank that is lightweight, wicks away moisture fairly well, and is attractive. I like how this top stretches with ease and allows for good movement and retains shape. The darker shade of grey is a good color for not streaking and helps show off the tank's design nicely.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.-Six members of the Chattanooga Lady Mocs softball team were selected to Southern Conference preseason All-Conference teams Tuesday, as announced by the league office and voted upon by the conference's coaches.
Seniors Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.) and Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.) along with sophomore Cheyenne Willis (Manchester, Tenn.) were named First-Team All-Conference, while junior Stephanie Rieck (Chandler, Ariz.), and sophomores Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) and Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) were named Second-Team All-Conference.
The six Lady Mocs are the most of any team in the conference, and it's the second season in a row Chattanooga led the SoCon in preseason selections.
Chattanooga was selected to finish second in the SoCon, receiving two first place votes. Georgia Southern has been named the preseason favorite, earning seven first place votes.
Appalachian State's Allie Cashion was selected as the preseason Player of the Year while Georgia Southern's Sarah Purvis has been named preseason Pitcher of the Year.
Poteat led the SoCon with a .437 batting average in 2012 while stealing a team-best 18 bases. The second baseman garnered 65 total bases and collected 62 hits, tying for fourth in the conference with former team mate Michelle Fuzzard (Huntington Beach, Calif.). Poteat started 45 games last season for the Lady Mocs. The Thomaston, Ga. native was named 2012 SoCon All-Conference First-Team.
Tydingco started 55 games at first base in 2012 for Chattanooga and finished in the top 10 in batting average at .360.
