I'm torn about the fact that "Real-time" is the only mode you can play in. It's ok some of the time, but there are times I really want to skip ahead — I know that the devs put a lot of effort into things like the whole "Your call is important to us" and "Now serving Number 4" subroutines, but come on.

Come on. Do I really have to play through the entire tutorial every time I make a new character? It's boring, and it takes ages.

Oops, I meant the M@y@nz dev team.

I think the weapons system needs some improvement. Most classes don't get to use weapons, just a few. And if you obtain a weapon and try to use it on another player, you'll get in trouble for it. But since there's no respawn, I think it's sort of good not to be the Policeman or Soldier class. Those Call Of Duty and other shooter minigames could work for now.

At least the process for making a new character is, from what I hear, quite fun.

At first.

The initial part, sure. But then there's that horrendous nine-month lag between starting and actually getting the new character. And a lot of female players really hate all the debuffs that randomly pop up during the wait — some of them are just annoying, but some of them can kill your character.

The soldier class is Difficult, but Awesome. Yeah,the odds of your character dying increase if you play, but all those benefits! You get some of the best equipment in the game, free player housing*

, free trips to those obscure zones and servers you might not see otherwise, and it's one of the only practical ways to PVP without getting reported.

The admins on your server might even pay for your lessons to unlock the top tier classes if you play one long enough.

Not to mention that the karma system here is really strict. I mean, no matter how high your karma meter is, it can plummet down easily. It's really hard to regain points when that happens. Not only that, if it gets too low, your character can get banned or killed off! Man, the admins really don't want you taking advantage of all the Videogame Cruelty Potential.

I really hate that it costs a lot of currency to travel from one side of the game world to the other. And that no matter where you go, all the land has been claimed and you have to wait ages in many cases to buy a property from another player.

The economic system sucks.

I'm just confused about the fact the game us marketed as full Pv P, but in most cases when you attack another player you get in trouble.

There are servers with unrestricted PVP, but I wouldn't recommend going there unless you've got a high-level character.

I'm sick of grinding for hours on end for a few measly drops. Does anyone know some third-party mods that will allow me to inventory hack valuable stuff? Or at least something that gives me invincibility? I'll just raid a bank or mint myself.

[up] Well, I have heard of this...uh, program called crack.exe. But my sources were vague about whether it made you invincible or just made you think you were invincible. It must do something, because there's a lot of players spending a lot of gold to use it near constantly.

Ooh, that reminds me of this other really popular program called weed.exe. It makes your character start acting really weird and changes how the world looks while you're running it. However, some server admins won't let you use it.

They said that they'd release the 'Moon' expansion pack years ago, but they still haven't!

The main dev team that was working on that got sidetracked into a bunch of other projects, then downsized. "Moon Exploration" is probably off the table for a long time. The "Mars" expansion is getting all the attention, instead, but even it isn't moving very fast.

At this point, "Moon" is more likely to wind up coming from some indie developer.

It was probably gonna be total crud anyway. I hear its got nothing but dust and rocks.

Could've been a good communal level editor area though. And rumours still persist that it's one massive stockpile of cheese...

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.

^ You think that's bad? There are rumors that the very first alpha screenshots of the Moon DLC were photoshopped! That they just took a random area of the Earth and put a character wearing a spacesuit in it!

Those rumors are bullshit. They actually did the alpha, they just started slowly phasing it out because the content constructors are lazy.

Anyways, it's hilarious how there is fanfiction of fanfiction of fanfiction of this.

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

Does anyone actually know who the designers of this game actually are? There's this crazy theory thats been going on that its all the work of one guy. I mean, how crazy is that?

I've heard rumors that there aren't even creators. The game has simply always existed. And people are even going to war over it! All the fighting seems pretty silly, if you ask me.

It has it's high points, but I say it's a rental at best.
Rental? Yeah, right. Good luck trying to get it from anyone, assholes are guarding their copies like it was worth more than all the money in the world or something. Just about your only chance of getting it is to have it given to you for your Birthday. Though the nicest option is if you can find someone you can share a copy with.

Y'know, what's with those "phone" items, anyway? Anyone remember before all those patches, when they used to just make the chat feature easier to use? Nowadays, there's all these minigames and other stuff that you can use them for. They've even been integrated into the banner ads. It's crazy!

What I want to know, is when these "Alien" NP Cs we've been hearing about for years actually get developed. It's taking too damn long.
