Thanks fellas! See you on the virtual Battlefield!

After doing some research, it seems that you must meet certain criteria in the week following a brigadier general promotion. 2142-stats thread

My newest character, FourWeapons, reached Brigadier General last week and was promoted to Lieutenant General yesterday! I'm not sure how the top rank system decides which players receieve the ranks, but I will try to hold it as long as I can. Wish me luck!

I really like the second one you did Gator and the ones that are similar. I like the idea of the tag being similar to the logo. Also, I can't get into Ventrilo

It was a great film, indeedly. So was Wall-E!

Well, I stopped by the store today and picked up the Battlefield 2 Collection with everything. I already owned BF2 and the expansion and one of the boosters, but I thought it would be nice to get everything on one DVD. I'll be joining you guys soon.

I'm a music geek, so I'm usually only interested in great full albums. Primarily I use emusic and buy vinyl. The great thing about vinyl now is many labels include coupons for mp3 downloads of the album. I just received 8 new vinyl in the mail the other day and I'm waiting on a reprint of Beach Boys - Pet Sounds on 180g vinyl! I'm so excited.

Welcome Hawkeye!

Mine crashed to desktop a lot as well Phrogg, but not every time I joined a server. I haven't tried out the newest COD4 patch, so I am unsure of its stability. Actually I haven't played COD4 since 1.2!

I really like Sins of a Solar Empire, although I haven't played it since the latest patch.

Gosh, it's HILARIOUS! Highly recommended!

My first character's name is Maul

I'm with you buddy! Tyranny it is.

Thanks for the information. I hope for her well-being.

Also, I just started downloading my game client through the early access program set to begin on May 17th! This monster is almost 14Gb and my speeds are only so-so at the moment. Is anyone else going the early access route?

I think the primary problem with PvP in WoW are the mechanics and properties of the game. Skill is only important if players are comparable in level and equipment. It does not matter what strategies I employ if the game determines I am unable to hit someone. In the later stages of character development, you cannot compete unless you have the best equipment and this can be difficult for people that do not have the time to acquire it. On PvP servers, I always refrained from killing or attacking characters that were 6+ levels below me because I understood that it would be no challenge. It is true that I was able to kill characters that were up to 10 levels higher than me in the early to mid-game, but this was only posssible because the people had absolutely no idea what to do in PvP situations. I am not sure that AoC will be significantly different; however, the mechanics seem to emphasize skill and strategy more than a game like WoW.

I personally find the combat and pvp more attractive than the mechanics of other MMOs that I have seen and played. I know there are levels in the game, but it seems to be more skill-based than other MMOs. I received my early access information today so I will be in-game as soon as they allow me.

I've already preordered so I'm with you!

I too have been BOTHERED by real life! :cool: Mystonstock2, I still play BF2142 so I'll add you to my friends list. I'm mostly playing with my GrizzlyBaur character now, so add that name.

Welcome to the clan! It sounds as if you enjoy your work, very cool.

I have my own personal keyboard graveyard: I have destroyed quite a few keyboards in my time; however, in all other ways I am not a violent person. I have not hit a person in anger since I was in the 7th grade and, believe me, I have certainly had cause to. A person is not simply violent or nonviolent and hitting an inanimate object in anger or frustration is not enough to label a person "violent".

It's...YoLaGringo We all keep it simple eh?

It is very similar to homeworld, but there have been other RTS space games as well. The primary difference with Sins is that it takes aspects from 4x turn-based space strategy games and mixes them with RTS aspects. The most important aspect is the "Phase lanes" that connect planets. You can only move ships/fleets between systems via the phase lanes, which is a strategic element of similar 4x games (like Galactic Civilizations).

Mencar, are you in Fort Worth? Craziness, so am I.

I wanted to do a bit of gaming this past week/weekend but I've been bed ridden with the flu since last week. I'm starting to feel better though! BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!
