Only if we define wise as self important and succinct and concise as meandering and elaborate.

Also rub a little harder, I think you missed a spot back there.

oooooooooooooh FPvP! <gets popcorn>

Good post Rachel btw... but I kinda thought that MMO's were built on this notion of in with the new and out with the old and then... ooooh, look, the old became new again... (Oro and 5th Column to bring an example or two?)

I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

It's true that MMOs are built upon an ever expanding game. But to take advantage of the expansion you typically still need to go through the old. While MA is an expansion of the game, it allows people to totally ignore anything outside of one building in AP.

Coming from you, I cannot say that this is much of a recommendation.

Still the same game to me

The Architect's real power is in Role Play groups that have their own dedicated message boards, continuities, etc. It allows them to branch out from the core continuity of the Paragon Universe and do their own thing with custom missions.

Which, not coincidentally, describes the OP (and me). MA has been quite a boon to story-focused RP'ers. Sure, when you're not playing an arc written by someone from your own crew, you have to dig a bit for good story-centered arcs, but they're there...and a lot of them are really well done. Some of the writing is downright terrific (and our group in particular is pretty fussy in that regard, including a smattering of decent amateur and semi-pro writers and one very successful pro).

We tend to ignore the canon aspect of AE that has everything occurring in virtual reality. Most of the time, we treat the missions as actual happenings in the "Paragonverse."

MA is one of my favorite additions ever (and I don't build missions yet, myself...too stinkin' busy lately). The controversies over exploits and farming has given it a rocky start, but ultimately, I think it will be considered a milestone in MMO evolution.

It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."

....Aaaaand I think its impossible for you to insult me, since I hold your opinion to be of less worth than that of the average soft-shelled mollusc's... or DJ Zero's, take your pick.

Before you shout "NO, U!" please note that I really don't care either way. Now get out there on the dance floor and burn it up! You can bring your ladylove Rach there with you, if you like.

Stayin' alive:

Who's this we you talkin' about, kemo sabe? Some people should realize they're really only speaking for themselves!

Unless that was a "royal 'we'", in which case I'd say someone has a severe case of swelled head.

So... you care even less about him than he cares about you? Is this a contest about who care about whom the least?

Westley · 06-09-2009 05:42 PM

Apparently. I actually kind of find it funny that B_I would attempt to slight me for no apparent reason out of the blue... just for fun maybe?

Coyote_Seven · 06-09-2009 05:57 PM

You probably committed some cardinal sin, like failing to automatically believe every opinion and bit of anecdotal evidence that she typed out with her own fingers, and daring to (gasp) have her back it up with actual facts before you'd consider its credibility.

Shocking!

He might also have agreed with someone of a differing opinion. 'Cause that instantly labels you as a brown-nosing Dev-Lover...
