You are the person who made those grandoise claims for the reasons TV and film tickets are down. I've asked you to cite sources and you have danced around the issue.
Unless you are going to provide evidence for your "facts", don't call them facts.
I'd take your own advice in your last line there.

If you dont like a mmorpg and you notice that a hand full of people dont like it and keep making the same threads over and over again. Im sure you will get the hint soon enough and ill help you out with it. If you dont like the game. Then by all means dont play it. Im sure the majority of people are tired of most of you saying im bored... ( I would be bored too if i had over 200 hours in a few weeks on a new game... Go outside by all means actually get a job)
I dont like the pvp ( Maybe you should not play the pvp then.. Im sure the 85 percent of people who do like it will play it for you... Waste of space anyway where someone else could get on the server...)
I made it to 80 I dont have anything to do other then twiddle my thumbs and look at the screen. (I'm sure you havent got 100 percent in every area. Maxed all of your crafts. Got all of your achievements and got that cool dungeon looking armor. Just cause you beat the story line doesnt mean the game is over.)
They nerfed my fav dungeon and gave it less reward cause I was speed cleaning it and making 5 gold a hour or more... They actually made it harder.. (boo hoo? Im sure the makers didnt want you to do that they are the gods I will say this again cause I like saying it. If you cant adapt to it then leave. We wont miss you and we will forget about you.)
The dungeons are to hard. (Maybe move around more use diff skills attack the same target as everyone else. Other people are doing it im sure you can too.)
I got banned cause I made a rude name and I also got banned cause I was buying and saleing stuff higher on the marketplace or farming a area.. (maybe some of you did and that sucks but most of you were doing other things you werent suppose to and your name was cruel. It probably offended someone you should have gotten banned for it. Dont remember M for mature infront of the page anywhere lol heh)
I crash alot when Im around people in pvp 15 mins into the game ( Well maybe you should turn down your settings or maybe get a new pc. That hamster in the middle of your pc is getting tired and dying)

The reason people are bored with Theme parks is because they (games not players) move to fast.
For example Back in TBC, I had started the long quest chain that took me through dungeons and culminated in a 5 man group quest boss kill.
The quest chain was for the most part pretty epic and well worth doing. Such a chain was pointless Come Wrath. Why do such a chain. Since it included dungeons anyway, why not just speed grind a few more dungeons until an epic set drops or until I can earn enough badges to buy a tiered set?
This is only one example where we are pushed through too fast. WTF do you think is gonna happen? Yeah we are going to burn through it. But who's fault is that? People bitch about TBC having too much of a grind, but it also made us slow down and consume the content at a pace.
And while I see people saying you have to slow down and take GW2 at a pace, the mechanics of the game say the opposite. Otherwise, we'd have never seen level 80s while the game was still in head start. But that same advice can be given to WoW or Rift or any MMO. "You leveled too fast, you did it wrong and short changed yourself"
It's not US, the players, that are to blame here.
Now I see where you're coming from. And yes, MMO players do this quite often, myself included. I guess some MMO players wish they were "niche" again :)

I think you failed to see his correlation. When the majority of television were dramas and comedies, ratings were high. Then reality tv got popular. More reality shows were put out, less dramas and comedies, ratings drastically went down. The channels that kept dramas and comedies in place of the new cheaper poorer reality shows had MUCH better ratings than all the rest. Poorer ratings due to reality tv caused people to unsubscribe. That is all fact. If the majority of tv that became reality shows was so great, people would not be leaving in droves.
As far as movies, that is an even easier correlation to see. People don't pay to watch crap. Well they do, but they will spend less to watch it. When better movies were coming out, people paid and saw them. Movie revenue has been decreasing year after year because... the majority of movies have been crap! Sure there are still good ones and they make a lot of money because people are desperate for a quality movie.

Oddly, I made more or less this flame on The Escapist last night.
In part I said:
It's pandering like this that is killing the game industry. The rabid fans just circle like a pool of piranha, buy a game, tear it to bloody tatters comparing self-involved notes, and then go to the next game. But at the same time, they want brilliant AAA next gen graphics and design that cost millions, in a hit driven industry, and they won't pay past buying the box, because they hold every title in contempt -- it's the fashion that the press encourages and whips up.
While a majority of gamers who don't participate in online forums would probably want to play the game and enjoy it, the money men see the bloody shreds, panic, see mass migrations, and shut things down. The more cautious introverted players have learned not even to buy a game for six months.
Well, the industry can't afford it forever. Good luck to you. I'm pretty much retired at this point, and no one is going to fire me for saying it, but the fans are killing the games because they would rather find fault, and the producers are killing the games because they will panic and pull out because they don't understand the business or the fans, and the devs kill the games because they think they are there to design games and don't have to learn the business and legal bits to educate the fans or the producers to create an environment that will actually allow them to give you games you will actually enjoy.
In a few years, there's going to be nothing but little dinky indy games on your mobiles, Zynga, EA, and the F2P Asian mills, and every one of them is going to be using neuromarketing to nickel and dime you to death. And all you will be doing is jumping one F2P game to the next paying to win to get to end game, carrying guilds with you, if you have money -- and grinding little commercially sponsored f2p games with friends in one place if you don't. It'll look a lot like Cory Doctorow's FTW. The art and story will be incidental if present. Something the marketing people will throw in as a competitive edge. Window dressing.
Emo idiots. And you will probably all dismiss me as an old fart with no sense of humor. But you remember this in a few years. Hell, you won't. You can't remember past the next "ooo shiny."
We're freaking doomed.

It is NOT the player that asked for tredmill based progression on MMOs. The expectation of a tredmil gear grind comes from a WoW mentality. There was post made here many years ago about WoW being more grindy than any of the old school MMOs because of the tredmil that never ends. It really wasn't taken seriously at the time that this would be the end of MMOs as we know it. Somehow, games changed from being a journey as the means to its own end to the game doesn't start until endgame when you begin the gear grind tredmil. If people are ever going to see a change in the way MMOs are made and played they are going to have to reject themeparks like guild wars 2 and keep waiting for that sandbox.
I have a question...what is this magical sandbox content that does not involve pvp?

I agree with this completely. I do not want to turn this into another Themepark Vs Sandbox debate but much of what made MMO's of the pre-WoW era a success is now missing from the current breed. 90% of modern MMO player have been raised on a diet of themeparks and have never experienced anything else; hell, most of them have no idea what a good MMO community is like. They have never experienced player interdependency, player built settlements, non-combat classes, crafting that actually mattered, true exploration in a world that changed dependent on player actions, PvP that actually had a point other than getting enough points for a new bloody helmet etc. Past games were far from perfect but a lot of that glue that bound the community together has been lost completely, we need to get it back.

Crafting, building, creating rather than destroying, non-combat classes, politics etc.
Sounds boring.

What is more boring than doing the exact same thing hour after hour to grind gear?
Crafting sounds the same as raiding in that you grind mats to make that next item.
Building. What are you building? Whst is its point?
Non combat...so basically a graphical chat room...i have real bars for that.
Politics...npc politics? Remember non pvp.

I am mainly a pvp\pve player but i take a role playing approach to every game i play and maybe that's why i don't need the best gear and shit to have fun.I like to relate to my character,i explore,do quest and actually read the text every time.
I think if people would take the same approach as i when it comes to mmorpgs they would last longer.
i don't need the carrot,i got my character.

You are showing that you have never played a sandbox as you have absolutely no clue about them. Just on the points you mentioned and I will use Pre CU / NGE SWG as an example:
Crafting produced the best items in the game, better than anything that dropped as loot providing the crafter was a good one. Items were not cookie cutter and all the same as they are in themepark games. The best weapons in SWG required the best quality mats and a high level of skill on the part of the crafter. Gathering the mats was done by an automated harvester if you had the ability to use them. Some of these had to be put in very dangerous locations as this is where the mats were located. This saw crafters hiring guards to escort them while they collected from the harvesters.
Building: Cities and settlements including player owned shops, amenities, spaceport etc. Architect was a character class in SWG. Other non combat classes were entertainer, medic etc. and before you say 'boring' you would be amazed just how many people enjoyed playing these classes. The cantinas in the cities would be full to overflowing some nights and you would be surprised how many friends you could make and deals you could strike while waiting for a medic to treat your wounds in the med centre.
Sandboxes require more commitment from the player than themeparks do, they do not hold your hand and guide you down a linear path. They give you the world and the tools to live in that world and then leave you to it.

Your crafting sounds like a treadmill. Not much different than raiding probably easier.
Still see little fun in your graphical chat room to make it mainstream over themepark.
Pve only sandbox is a graphical chat room. Most players as it stands now do nit want forced or open world pvp. I do not see these games beating themeparks with the current ideas for the mainstream.

I for one am happy as hell that there is a new, fresh and exciting MMO that takes some good old fashion grinding. Why you ask? Because it is fun and I dont need anyone else other then me, I am not beholden to any raid setting or elitist pricks. I can play GW2 my way, progress at my rate, and still at the end of the day have a metric butt load of endgame activities to pursue.

Dragon Ship is a stirring space adventure from master storytellers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller - number 15 in the award-winning Liaden Universe saga. Space ships, action, adventure - all tied together with a strong dollop of romance and intrigue - make this a compelling series for a wide range of readers, from romance to military-SF lovers.
First Class Courier Pilot Theo Waitley was already known as a nexus of violence - and then she inherited the precarious captaincy of a mysterious self-aware ship designed to serve a long dead trader. Now she has a trade route to run for Clan Korval while she convinces the near-mythic ghost ship Bechimo - and herself - that she wants to commit herself as the human side to their immensely powerful symbiosis. While her former lover battles a nanovirus that's eating him alive, she's challenged to rescue hundreds of stranded pilots and crewmen from an explosive situation in near orbit around a suddenly hostile planet. Lovers, enemies, an ex-roomie, and a jealous spaceship are all in peril as Theo wields power that no one in the universe is sure of - especially her.

"Excellent story and listening experience"
Several reviews I read before downloading this book indicated it as not well done, this is not the case. An easy to follow and well done addition to the Theo Waitley series. Hope to hear more.
"One of the Best.."
I've enjoyed this book as much as the others. Sadly I think the series is at an end. I will miss it very much, at least till I re read it all again.
"The continuing story"
Entertaining look into a developing a personality. The ship is learning to be human.Captain is always within her perfectionist contrary shelf.
"Building a good story to a great one"
I love all of the Liaden titles, but this one is winding an amazing number of strands toward a grand climax. Theo's story could be stand alone, though having read the others deepens the background and adds to the richness. I have read them all in print, so my listening to Dragon Ship was a wonderful re-visit, and I felt all the same delight as on my first reading. I do find that listening to a book expands the book. One hears bits that the eye may skip over. The reading was very good, with just a couple of words that the reader was not familiar with. I always find that a bit jarring. They were not "strange" words from the Liaden Universe, rather normal English words. I eagerly await the next step in the overall plot, and heartily recommend this title.

The lights are on
Please bear with us as we have launched in beta so you may notice a bug or two. The best thing you can do is let us know right here in the Site Feedback Forum. Have a question or comment regarding the new site? This is your place.
No, he didn't answer it!
As the original poster and everyone else who has asked for an answer has said WE HAVE DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTIONS - i.e. NO MAILING LABEL
The form to switch from Digital to Physical demands a subscriber number, but there is no apparent way to find it - so how do we find it?
I wish people would bother to read the posts in a thread and take time to understand them before posting useless and unrelated answers or snarky coments about how it has already been answered when it hasn't - and if you don't know the answer DON'T POST!
Krypt answered it below. On the mailing label on back of the magazine.
Ok. If your a digital subscriber and you want to know you're subscriber number call customer service and ask them or visit the contact us section on this site and select the just have a question link. Include your name, email phone and mailing address and request your subscriber number.
And that doesn't work. They just pull the same nonsense that's been said in this thread "why do you want it" "Look on the mailing label" and my personal favorite - pointing me to this thread in the forums for "answers" that aren't here - so I understand complete why others are asking and insisting this hasn't been answered - because it hasn't and it obviously wont be. I have been trying to change my subscription to physical since back around September and it's just a pathetic runaround - and it's refreshing to know that Game informer considers this a joke and refuses to take steps to fix it - provide the information customers have asked for, or fix the online form so that this information isn't needed for the switch.
So I will say again - if you can't actually provide the information the OP, myself, and others asked for - stop giving useless answers please. It does no good.
seriously whats wrong here? I cant find a straight answer anywhere and the digital version sucks
just ok? how about some answers?
I'll throw my name into the bucket of people looking for this. There should be a reasonable way to find the subscriber number than the physical magazine (which we don't have because we're trying to view it ONLINE. That's the point to this whole thing. If we had a physical copy we'd just read that.) Why can't each of those email reminders provide our subscriber number? How hard would that be?
@arsonfly, That's a great idea. It's not technically hard. What's hard is getting it done with the work that we already have on our plate and the few people we have on our team but I'll see what I can do.
As for an answer to "how do I find out my subscriber number?"
* You can find it on the print magazine as answered below.
* If you don't have a print magazine, you can go to Contact Us and send a message (along with your name, email, phone and address) requesting your subscriber number.
* You can call customer care and ask them to provide it to you.
Looks like that's what I'll have to do. It's not ideal, but you have to work with what you've got, right? I appreciate the polite reply. Looking back I was a little rude. I was a little frustrated at the time and I apologize for that.
I understand, thank you for understanding why we haven't fixed the problem already. It's frustrating for us too when we can't just Fix it.
thanks man this was exactly what i was looking for.
Instead of going through all those steps, is there any way the subscriber number can be on the Gamestop Powerup card? If so, which number is it? Is it an 8 digit number, cause the number under the barcode is 13 digits.
I'm sure there's a way, but it's not there right now.

On Tuesday the Scioto County Commissioners signed a contract with Southern Ohio Salvage and Contracting, Inc., of Ironton to remove the remains of the former Scioto County Jail from the fourth floor of the County Courthouse. Crews are anticipated to get started as soon as next week.
"This is going to be done at no cost to the county. They will take the bars down, cut them in small pieces so they can be moved from the fourth floor to ground level, then placed in a dumpster. Community service workers and our maintenance department will be responsible for moving the steel to the ground level as a courtesy to the contractor," said Mike Crabtree, Chairman of the Scioto County Board of Commissioners. "If they had to bring in a crane, we were going to have to pay for this operation."
He said the contract was written and negotiated in such away in which the county will have to pay nothing.
"They will use the elevator and take it, (steel) down as it's cut up," Crabtree said.
Crabtree said there are 65 cells located on the fourth floor. The majority of those doors along with other steel associated with the former jail will be removed as part of this project.
"We are going to keep some of the cells to be used holding cells at the request of a judge," Crabtree said.
He said crews will have to test the steel for asbestos and lead products prior to starting.
When asked if this was a step towards renovation of the fourth floor, Crabtree said, "That's something that can happen down the road and is not in the immediate future. The economy is tight and it's going to be tight for a number of years. We will have to do what we can, as funds become available."
Since the new Scioto County Jail opened in 2006, the majority of the fourth floor has remained vacated and used as storage space. Over time, the roof of the building began to leak and has caused some damage to the space rendering the majority of it uninhabitable.
A portion of the space is currently being occupied and Commissioner Skip Riffe believes that space could easily be renovated sooner than later.
Crabtree said the county had three companies placing bids for this project. He said the majority of the contractors they were working with wanted to be paid to do the work.
"Phil (Lajoye, Scioto County Courthouse Maintenance Supervisor) had some conversations with this company that if we were able to get the bars moved to the ground level there would be no labor expense. It was worked out that we will get it done, for free," Crabtree said.

Sadie is our second dog adopted at a Wolves game. Our first was Darcy in 2011 - she is already featured on your page. Again, adopting a dog was not on my mind, but as we were leaving the game, Sadie was one of the last dogs.
My daughter begged us to take her home.
She called her Dad and I thought for sure he would say no and that would be that, but he said to bring her home. The CACC people were great. They were in the process of loading up the remaining few dogs, but stopped so we could fill out the paperwork and bring her home. She has settled in nicely and Darcy has a new buddy.

Exhibition of Dutch and Belgian art from the Romantic Period at Kumu until 26 August 201207.05.2012
Kumu Art Museum invites you to the exhibition A Romantic View. 19th Century Dutch and Belgian Paintings from the Rademakers Collection. The 70 paintings displayed at the exhibition provide an excellent overview of almost all the 19th century art genres: genre painting, cityscapes, seascapes, portraits and mysterious moonlit landscapes. The exhibition is accompanied by a newspaper in Estonian and English.
The paintings that comprise the Belgian collector Jef Rademakers's collection have been displayed at the State Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, at the Koekkoek-Haus in Kleve, and elsewhere.
The former TV producer Jef Rademakers's painting collection contains more than a hundred works of art created by Dutch and Belgian artists in the years 1806–1870. The lion's share of the paintings, however, are from the period 1840–1855, when the Romantic approach to nature was intertwined with the lifestyle of the post-Napoleonic Biedermeier era, which valued domesticity and family. Rademakers owns outstanding examples from the oeuvre of Basile de Loose, Bart van Hove, Barend Cornelis Koekkoek and the latter's students: Jacob Abels, Andreas Schelfhout, Petrus van Schendel and others.

"Our mission is to provide a safe, secure, free place for mothers to find support and encouragement from other mothers, empower them to be better women, parents and community leaders. Our philosophy is no one should have to pay a fee to make a friend, so membership is free to any mother who wishes to join. Members also gain camaraderie and support through an online forum that is available 24 hours a day and events around the area where mothers can meet face-to-face and develop real friendships that can last a lifetime"
The Mommies Network was founded in 200. It is a 501c(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping moms find support and friendship in their local community. Local volunteer teams currently operate 80 "Mommies" communities throughout the U. S., providing over 30,000 moms a free and easy way to connect.
CharlestonWVMommies is one of the network communities, founded in March of 2010 by Casi Chaffin. Since then, it has expanded to include all of southern W.Va. and the tri-cities area of Huntington, Ashland, Ky., and Ironton, Ohio.
According to Fields, there are nearly 100 members in the local group who regularly connect online and at area events each month. They have activities including play dates, park trips, Mom's Night Out, morning coffees, and storytimes at local libraries.
The private forum, accessible only to members, is available for mothers to discuss everything from the best photographers to the worst temper tantrums and everything in between. The mothers also providehelp and support on topics including breastfeeding and children with special needs.
Fields says, " Whether it's a late night commiseration on a crying baby or a Mom's Night Out, CharlestonWVMommies provides what our members need, when and how they need it."

For Immediate Release
Contact: Deborah Gilleran
Lakewood, N.J., Apr. 23, 2008—Georgian Court University will host the Fourth Congressional District Art Competition for amateur artists from Monday, May 5, through Thursday, May 8, at the M. Christina Geis Art Gallery. The winning entry will be placed on display in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
The competition is an initiative of the United States House of Representatives to promote the talent of young high school artists from across the nation. Ninth- through twelfth-grade students in public and private high schools throughout the Fourth Congressional District are participating in this year's local competition. Two scholarships are offered by GCU to the Best of Show and first-place winners of the competition.
"The annual Congressional Art Competition gives aspiring young artists from all over the Fourth District a chance to showcase their extraordinary talents and abilities. Much thanks and appreciation also goes to Georgian Court University for graciously hosting the competition each year and their support for the arts," said U.S. Representative Chris Smith (NJ-04).
Artwork will be hung in the gallery on May 5, and judges will select the winning entry (Best of Show) and four categories for first, second, and third places and honorable mention. Three local professional artists will volunteer their expertise and time to judge the pieces, which include painting, drawing, collage, print, mixed media, computer-generated art, and photography. The awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 8, at 4:00 p.m.
The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, over 650,000 high school students have been involved with the nationwide competition. Local contests are held within each congressional district, and the winning entries from all districts are displayed in the Cannon Tunnel, which connects the Cannon House Office Building with the U.S. Capitol, for a period of one year. Each winning student receives an invitation to attend a grand-opening ceremony for the unveiling of the display in Washington, D.C., on June 25, 2008.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. The M. Christina Geis Art Gallery is located on the second floor of the Arts and Science Center building on the Lakewood campus. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. For more information, call Kathleen Settles at 732.987.2388.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves over 3,000 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at 90 Woodbridge Center Drive in Woodbridge, at Coastal Communiversity in Wall, and at Cumberland County College in Vineland.

Those who suffer from arthritis often experience pains in different joints including the fingers, elbows, knees and hips. While most people turn to prescribed medicines and physiotherapy to deal with this chronic degenerative condition, some also claim to benefit from natural herbs. So let us take a look at a few natural arthritis treatments that can help you find relief from pain and swelling in the joints.
· Boswellia
The gum of this tree has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce pains and inflammations stemming from arthritis. Boswellic acid restricts the formation of leukotrienes which are the immune cells that cause such swellings. If taken regularly, boswellia can improve blood circulation and nourish soft tissues in the body.
· Thunder God Vine
This perennial vine is found in a number of Asian countries including Korea, China and Japan. The supplement is derived from the roots of this herb that does not only treat inflammatory conditions but also other autoimmune diseases.
· Cherries
Eating six to eight cherries a day can treat arthritic pain. Cherries are amongst the best and least expensive Home Remedies for Arthritis.You can choose to eat frozen or fresh cherries. In fact some people prefer cherry syrup. Used commonly in Japan, this treatment has brought relief to several arthritis patients. Magnesium and potassium present in cherries are natural pain killers and can be taken along with other medication.
· Dandelion Leaves
High in vitamins A and C, dandelion leaves are found everywhere and are one of the best natural arthritis treatments. Sprinkle some in your salad so that the damaged tissues in your body can be repaired and the toxins in your blood can be flushed out.
· Eucalyptus Oil
Many arthritic patients use eucalyptus oil to reduce pain and swelling in their joints. Heat a small quantity of the oil before you massage the affected area with it. Once that has been done, wrap the area in plastic and apply some heat with the help of steaming towels. Doing this regularly before going to sleep every night will show significant improvement in your degenerative condition.
· Aloe Vera
Though aloe vera does not directly heal arthritis, it does boost the energy levels in the immune system which in turn increases blood flow to areas that have swellings and pains. Once the blood flow has been restored, the ailing condition of the joint automatically improves.
· Alfalfa
A cup of tea made from alfalfa seeds is used by many people who suffer from arthritis. This is a great Natural Arthritis Pain Reliever. Just add some seeds to a boiling cup of water and let is steep for a few minutes before you strain it. Drinking this regularly for two to three weeks will bring you noticeable relief from arthritic pain.
· Celery
This is another one of the many natural arthritis treatments that is used to find relief from joint pains and swellings. With more than 25 anti-inflammatory compounds and a lot of potassium, celery can make up for the deficiencies that usually lead to arthritis.
A lot of people are of the opinion that herbal treatments have no side effects. That is not true as most of these natural treatments are very strong and can react undesirably if you are already taking prescription drugs. So it is best to consult a doctor before you start any treatment for arthritis, natural like Provailen,or otherwise.

Police: Man using
drugs crashes car
POWNAL — Vermont State Police said a local man was under the influence of drugs when he crashed a stolen car Saturday afternoon.
Police said 35-year-old Anthony Barbiero was illegally in possession of prescription medication and marijuana when he drove a 1998 Ford Escort station wagon off the east side of Cedar Hill Road and struck several trees. Police said Barbiero had taken the car without the owner's consent.
According to police, Barbiero was not wearing his seat belt. He was taken to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, police said. His condition was not available Sunday.
Police said that while at the hospital, a drug recognition expert with state police screened Barbiero and determined he was under the influence of drugs at the time of his crash.
Barbiero is facing charges of driving under the influence, driving a car without the owner's consent, careless or negligent driving, as well as civil tickets for marijuana possession and driving with an expired license.
He is scheduled to answer those charges Jan. 6 in Bennington criminal court.

Only thing I agree on with the OP is yes, Areanet really does love centaurs and pirates. Though, who the #@$% doesn't love centaurs and pirates?

About the only place I disagree with the OP is about the music, which I've always liked in Guild Wars. The combat music was awful so I substituted my own so that's no longer an irritant. The heart quests are more imaginative than in most MMOs but there are just too many bugs and, as one who's always played a healer or other support rôle, I just don't find a place where I feel I fit.
What I say is my opinion - you go get your own!

Get multiple tadeskills to max another long term PVE goal.. Not sure what long term PVE goals GW2 is missing.. has more than most MMOs imho
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

Just because it's nothing you personally strive for doesn't change the fact there is plenty of things to strive for and achieve.

GW2 is a good imbetween game. But its not a good staying MMO, is the reason it gets so many negative posts about it. It has WvW, but its more like an FPS arena to jump into every now and again then actual server progression/player progression since the servers are always swapping (aka no point).
the Instanced PvP is just that, instanced PvP nothing special here, even though a lot of them will try and make you believe its great and different.
As for the PvE, its good/decent the first time through, but once you complete it...its done. There are people that like to do it all over on alts like me, but even I found the "Dynamic" events way to repetitive when I was betaing it. Which caused me not to buy.
But the game does has some nice things to it, like the jump puzzles and the city design is amazing, and like I said the first time through on the "Dynamic" (yes I am quoting for a reason...) Events can be fun. But if your a PvPer...this game is not for you, or looking for an MMO to last.

But what we're targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo

Since best MMO is strictly an opinion, while most successful is hard numbers and can be proven as fact.
Like for me, my best MMO of the year would be when I betaed ArcheAge, even in its beta and even with it being completely in Korean it has blown every other MMO in the past 10 or so years out of the water...IMO.
As for the most successful new MMO release, I would guess GW2 is that. Most successful launch they aren't MoP is killing them in sales right now and will continue to. So theres that.

You cant make comparisions between the sales of a B2P MMO and a P2P. I mean if gw2 was a P2P MMO, it would be under the 1 mill of sales, or even less.

I also found the game incredibly boring after a couple of weeks. Not bad, not broken, nothing like that -- just not very entertaining. I see a potentially great game under the surface, but nothing about it keeps me interested. There are no goals, nothing to work towards, no long-term appeal. When I log in, what am I really meant to do? Getting the best gear in the game took five days. PvP is alright, but it honestly isn't great -- certainly doesn't equal the PvP you get in games made exclusively for that purpose, like MOBAs and RTS or FPS games. The PvP is no better or worse than that of any other MMORPG, but GW2 completely lacks the whole character-building and progression part. As for the PvE, not much needs to be said of that -- it has some dungeons and that's literally it. The personal quest, besides being finite and leading ultimately to nothing, was incredibly bad gameplay and very, very poorly written. Leveling was alright but obviously a temporary thing. With GW2, I feel that if I don't specifically enjoy going around sight-seeing for no real reason, there's nothing to play for. It completely lacks the hooks that usually draw me into a game. It got so incredibly boring that I never find myself tempted to log in anymore. For a game that really offers very little besides two completely repetitive and goal-less PvP formats, that aspect of the game just isn't of high enough quality to pull the whole product's weight. PvE is certainly not something I can do just for the sake of doing it.
A game can be really bad and leave me cursing the purchase when I quit after a week. This is not such a game. I see a lot of great things about GW2 -- I really like the way they've done the classes, the actual quest system, the atmosphere and so on. I don't hate the game at all. I just simply cannot see a reason to keep playing. There are no goals that take more than a couple of weeks to accomplish unless I'm satisfied exclusively with PvP, and if that were the case, I'd play League of Legends or Starcraft or something where the PvP is actually amazing because it's the entire premise of the game. In GW2, it's merely okay and the rest of the game leaves me with no incentive to continue. I took a break for a few weeks and just tried again today, and the moment I logged in, I sat there thinking "now what? What should I do? *Why* should I do it?" I have no tangible reason for doing anything in the game. Interesting class mechanics and a polished crafting system does not keep me playing for very long. It has pretty much the same PvP as any other MMORPG but almost no PvE appeal.

the pvp is still a WIP(work in progress) they have said as much....part of the issue with WvWvW is that they are using umbra occlusion culling and they have a value set to how many players you can see at once, (its like 30 at the moment) Umbra is running on cpu because their GPU emplimentation isnt working properly on any modern cards, it degrades fps for most people, umbra blame amd/nvidia/intel and say its a driver bug......my question is....if its a driver bug, why is it effectingeverybody.....i really think its something umbra need to fix on their end.....
I agree the games not perfect, but, most of the QQing i see is people who clame to not want WoW but really do want WoW but in a b2p form, and they are upset they didnt get it....
they want the carrot on the stick approch, they need it, they want/need a classic quest system to tell them what to do and where to go step by step zone by zone......they need the "gear progression" that they spend months grinding "end game" instances for, because, without it....they dont feel like they are accomplishing anything.
and honestly thats fine, but why come to GW2 forums and crap on the game and bitch about how they think its horrible?
I have yet to runinto a person in game who attacked me complaining about a bug or flaw in /m, for the most part people agree the game needs work still.....but they also agree the games in a better state for its age then games like WoW where at the same age....
if you dont like the game thats fine, go play something else, you dont need to come on a gw2 forum(or multi gw2 forums as some haters have done lately) and badmouth the game, just play something else....if you really really hate it, ask for a refund or sell the account to somebody who will enjoy it(or give it to somebody who would enjoy it more then you do)
the reason these QQers and haters get so much crap from people on forums is that they are effectivly asking for it.....I dont go on WoW related forums and bitch about how much WoW sucks.......I dont go on diablo3 related forums and bitch about how much it sucks.......i could list dozens/hundreds of f2p games I felt sucked, never once did i join a forum to complain about them.....i didnt like them, even games I bought, so i either got a refund, sold my copy to somebody or gave it away....or in a few cases put it on a shelf and waited for patches........
they just need to add a section for these QQ'ers and haters to post their vitral where its not in the face of people who enjoy the game.....
oh yeah, and I dont go on clans/guilds forums and complain their guild/clan sucks......(have seen that alot to)

I made it to lvl 30 and I stopped playing. Forcing myself to log in and play I made it to lvl 36 but I haven't logged in weeks.
The dynamic events system had potential - This game was billed to be the holy grail for casual players. However, as a casual player, I just don't see it.
I log in with 2 hours to play after work when my girl is studying and I just run around HOPING to find an interesting event. I missed the gravy train so I hardly even see people around anymore - The people I do see might as well be NPCs because there is zero interaction.
So with my 2 hours I do a mind-numbingly boring heart or two and if I'm lucky I stumble on to an event somewhere. I just have to run around aimlessly looking for action. That's not my idea of fun gaming :\

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 19 Review: What Did You Think of "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted?"
Tonight's episode of Pretty Little Liars (Season 3, Episode 19: "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted?) was epic for more reasons than one.
Not only did Spencer (Troian Bellisario) go head-to-head with Mona (she literally attacked her), but CeCe (Vanessa Ray) became the frontrunner in our weekly "Who Is 'A"" pool. Oh, and Jason (Drew Van Acker) is now MIA... after getting into a near-fatal elevator accident — naturally — caused by "A."
That's right. Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Jason found themselves in a pretty deadly situation after their elevator stopped operating. This job had "A's" handywork all over it. After all, the whisky bottle from last week's episode was at the scene of the crime. Em managed to jump out, but poor Jason wasn't so lucky. However, despite taking a nasty fall, Jason miraculously survived.
There's only one problem: just when the Liars turn their backs, Jason goes missing from the hospital! Is Jason the victim or is he part of the "A" team? Earlier in the episode, he revealed to Em that he saw CeCe talking to Melissa the night of Ali's death. Hm, emergency N.A.T. Club meeting? It would make sense for CeCe to want Jason dead — and she already stole the photographic evidence. Maybe now she's finishing the job?
Not helping CeCe's case is the fact she lied to Aria about her car being stolen. Why did she have to come up with a lie? Unless, there was something more important she needed to do than oversee a photoshoot. Could CeCe be the girl in the red coat?
Meanwhile, Hanna (Ashley Benson) convinces Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) to meet with his uncle-turned-father Jamie. He resists at first, but thanks to Hanna, he agrees to meet with Jamie. They may not be the perfect father-son duo, but they do agree about one thing: Hanna is awesome.
Unfortunately for Hanna, she now knows Jamie isn't exactly the most honest man. He's been stealing from the church! Uh oh. Is she going to keep this from Caleb?
As for Aria (Lucy Hale), she's been spending some time with Wes (Gregg Sulkin), and dare we say it, but they two of them are actually pretty adorable. It's nice to see Aria let loose and not have to deal with adult problems. She gets to be a teen when she's with Wes, and we like that.
Lastly, Wren is back — thanks to Mona (Janel Parrish). Why did Mona ask Wren to help Spencer? Also, we forgot how much we missed Wrencer.
Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
The Cal State Northridge baseball and softball programs will team up Sunday for a canned food drive to benefit the Children's Hunger Fund. A canned or non-perishable food donation will get patrons free admission to both the Matadors' Softball game against Pacific at noon and the Matador's baseball game against UC Santa Barbara starting at 1 p.m.
The Children's Hunger Fund is a non-profit organization that works to provide children with food in some of the most needy regions of the world. The Fund's motto is: "Where need, love and action meet, compassion happens."
"As we serve families in the San Fernando Valley, we value the relationships that are built," said Children's Hunger Fund Founder and President Dave Phillips. "And it is a relationship like this, between Children's Hunger Fund and Cal State Northridge, that can bring lasting hope to the needy in our community."
The Matadors have teamed with Children's Hunger Fund in the past, organizing similar drives around Matador home men's and basketball games. CSUN Athletics encourages all patrons to bring a minimum donation of three cans per person, though any donation will be gladly welcome.

The Chicago Wolves have re-signed right wing Darren Haydar.
HAYDAR ranked first on the Wolves with 36 assists, shared second with 21 goals, and ranked second with 57 points in 70 outings last season. His 57 points marked the 10th time in his 10-year pro career he surpassed the 50-point plateau and his 21 goals marked his ninth 20-plus goal campaign.
The 32-year-old forward ranks fourth on the Wolves all-time scoring register with 311 points (108G, 203A) in just 271 games with the club spanning four seasons (2006-08; 2010-12). He was awarded the Les Cunningham Award as the AHL's most valuable player and John B. Sollenberger Trophy as the league's leading scorer after posting a career-best 122 points (41G, 81A) in 73 games with Chicago during the 2006-07 campaign.
The Milton, Ontario, native also holds 22nd on the American Hockey League's scoring list with 731 career points (272G, 459A) in 709 AHL games spanning 10 seasons with the Wolves, Milwaukee Admirals, Grand Rapids Griffins, and Lake Erie Monsters. He made hockey history while with the Wolves in 2006-07 when he collected a point in 39 consecutive games to start the season, tying Wayne Gretzky's 1985-86 run with the Edmonton Oilers as the fourth-longest streak in professional hockey history. The streak, during which he collected 79 points (24G, 55A), is both an AHL and franchise record.
HAYDAR, who is the AHL's all-time leader in goals (63), assists (80) and points (143) during postseason competition in 110 games, also appeared in 44 playoff tilts with Chicago, which includes captaining the team to the 2008 Calder Cup championship. The title was his second, after winning the Calder Cup with Milwaukee in 2004.
The University of New Hampshire graduate and 2003 AHL Rookie of the Year has also appeared in 23 career National Hockey League matchups, tallying eight points (G, 7A) with the Nashville Predators (2002-03), Atlanta Thrashers (2006-08), and Colorado Avalanche (2009-10).
In accordance with team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 9 mph
The word Occupy got a new definition in 2011. A new movement swept the U.S. and the world. It's now only 100 days old and it's in the news every day. Yet, what is it all about? The messaging, the actions and the intentional unfocused, leaderless and slogan-less agenda has been hard to understand.
I've been discussing this idea with friends for a couple of weeks now and without a doubt I've heard different comments or observations from everyone. So much interest, yet so little shared understanding. So we agreed a meeting to voice each of our views is a good and needed next step.
On January 10 at 7 p.m., local folks will be meeting at the Big Picture Theater in Waitsfield to begin this discussion. A "General Assembly" has been scheduled to begin "bringing home" the #Occupy agenda and catalyzing conversation. Please come and participate. Put the "you" back into democracy.
The progressive ideas emerging from the #Occupy conversation are aimed at returning democracy to the people. The people have political power in their voices; and our coming together in greater and greater numbers is the first sign of a growing political movement.
The first phase of the #Occupy movement sparked conversation on deeply felt economic and social issues that the mainstream political parties didn't address. The movement is now moving into its next phase. It probably won't be as much about "camping out in a tent," or the occupation of a public space. But it might be building new coalitions and finding out-of-the-box ways of impacting politics in America.
One of the first definitive actions resulting from the #Occupy movement is the "Move to Amend." Senator Bernie Sanders in the U.S. Senate and Senator Ginny Lyons are taking the lead in the fight against Corporate Personhood by introducing resolutions to call for a Constitutional Amendment to end corporate constitutional rights and the doctrine of money as speech.
This first "General Assembly" in the Mad River Valley will bring people together to see what their neighbors think about the #Occupy movement.
The event will be structured to provide a short two-minute comment period for as many folks as possible.
It is anticipated that a wide range of opinions, comments, experiences and ideas will be voiced. Please come to hear your neighbors as well as voice your own thoughts. The Big Picture has graciously offered to host this event for free so stay around, continue the conversation and enjoy the atmosphere. You don't have to bring a tent and we won't be kicked out.
Coleman lives in Warren.

RS-M 46, McCORMICK 12
McCORMICK — Travious Wigfall accounted for 223 total yards of offense –more than the entire McCormick High School offense could muster– and scored two touchdowns, and brought down an interception on defense as the Trojans of Ridge Spring-Monetta High School routed the Chiefs 46-12 on Friday night on the road. The lopsided win improves the Trojans to 3-1 for the season and avenged a 33-14 loss at home last season at the hands of the Chiefs, who fall to 0-3.
The Trojans controlled both sides of the ball throughout the game, holding McCormick to 204 total yards of offense while the RSM offense rolled up 304 total yards. The Trojans' defense recorded one sack and two interceptions and Jared Crute blocked a punt that Terrance Smith scooped up and returned 15 yards for a touchdown.
Ridge Spring-Monetta set the tone early, holding McCormick to a three-and-out on the first series. The Trojans then turned around on their very first play from scrimmage and sent Wigfall down field on a 49 yard touchdown run that saw the senior shed a couple tackles. From there, the Chiefs failed to find an answer for the balanced offensive effort by the Trojans and were manhandled on the other side of the ball.
Five different players scored touchdowns for Ridge Spring-Monetta led by Wigfall, Reggie Preston and Smith all with two touchdowns each. Preston was 3-8 for 46 yards passing including one touchdown pass and also rushed for 17 more yards and another score. Smith was responsible for 30 yards on one touch and the interception, but he made both count as both times he hit pay dirt.
The Trojans will return home next week for homecoming against Hunter-Kinard-Tyler. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. next Friday.
RSM - T. Wigfall rush for 49 yard TD (C. Fernandez PTA No Good)
RSM - R. Preston 32 yard TD pass to A. Hopkins (Fernandez PTA No Good)
