    Fishermage has 5 stars in his profile.

    Ummax has 2 stars.

     

    When you get a warning for misconduct or breaking the forum rules your profile has 1 star removed.  I am not sure why you are blaming Fishermage for abusing CSRs, when it is very obvious you have been invovled in a few warnings recently.

     

     

    
     

    I dont look at my star did i have 5?

    I have received no warning I would think a mod would pm me if i did would they not?

    anyhow think what you like I'm not interested in discussions about verbal abuse when its clear that it seems to be okay.

     

    From the FAQ:

    Ranks are calculated every day at 2:00AM EST.  They are only based on the last 30 days of data.  We look at the following factors when determining your rank:

    • How many days you visited the site (and logged in).  This is also counted when you use our "autologin" feature.
    • How much information you have posted in our forums (not the amount of posts)
    • The quality of your posts.  If you post lot of "filler" posts that only consist of a few words this will cost you rank points.
    • Any posts of yours that had to be deleted will cost you 5 rank points (there are only 100 total).  To prevent your posts from being deleted, please obey our Rules of Conduct.

     

    The stars don't lie brother.   I cannot see any other reason you only have 2 stars with your activity the last 30 days.  Seeing that points you lose for deleted posts or warnings cannot be regained for a full month. 

    I only point this out, because you are saying someone else is abusing CSRs and forum rules when the available facts seem to point to the exact opposite.

• • Why isn't WoW ranked nr.1?

    WoW has a large subscription because of advertising, accessibility, and name brand. It isn't "better" or "worse" than any other mainstream MMO on the market. Everything else is just conjecture and post count, that's it.

     

    That name brand that you so quickly dismiss has a long history of releasing high quality games that are fun to play.  Something that is very lacking in the MMO genre at the moment.  Most of the bigger companies have terrible reputations for making mistake after mistake....

    There is a reason WoW not only attracts so many players, but also RETAINS them.  I have to say that Blizzard has done many things much better than most of the other MMOs out right now.  That goes pretty much across the board.  It isn't the best at every single aspect, but it rates very highly in just about every one.

     

    When compared side by side WoW does do most aspects better than the next game.  Not every single one, but the majority yes.  That is why the game excels and so many others fall short of expectations.

     

    When game companies start caring enough about the games they launch then the market will even out subscriber wise.  Until then there is are many reasons one game rules the market.

• • Name me three pay to play MMOs that launched smoothly

  • WoW, CoH, LOTRO.  

    Tabula Rasa seemed fine during open beta, but I didn't buy a copy.  PoTBS seemed like a decent launch, but is just a bland game that wasn't well thought out.

     

    DAOC launched pretty smooth performance wise, but it was so unfinished as a game.  Especially about level 30 if I recall.  Empty dungeons, poor mechanics, serious balance and design issues, etc. 

    EQ2 was a mess at launch from concepts to execution, but performance wise was decent though really laggy.  It might not have crashed every day, but the game underwent how many revamps of core systems due to it being rushed out the door early to compete with WoW [as admitted by SOE president Smed].  I don't think a game can be considered a smooth launch when the mantra of its current players is "the game is so much better now than when it launched".  That is an automatic disqualified IMHO.

    AoC would be a contender if it didn't suffer the same fate as previous two.  Far to much that was promised is missing.

• • HP Vs. DELL

  • I'm a long time HP fan, but have since moved away from HP due to poor service and cheap products.  While I don't have nearly as many dells at my office I've come to love them more than HP.

     

    Dell usually has some nice online coupons you can find with a little web searching.  HP also, but they tend not to be anywhere as good.

     

    Here is one I found with a quick search.  www.couponmountain.com/Dell-coupons-deals.html

    These coupon sites can be a real pain in the ass to navigate, but as an end user you can save some big money if put a little effort in.
