    (especially from 1.45 in the last vid - this is what castle sieges should look like!)

    oh well, we can dream...

    

    
    This seems closer to world pvp to me.

• • Best loot comes from endless raiding like in WoW?

    You basically have 4 activities in which to partake in an MMO.

    Solo play- if you play an MMO to just solo play I pretty much hate you. It is an MMO and not meant for this. Yes sometimes you just wanna go and play alone but seriously to cater to your type of play is stupid and basically ruined WoW on alot of levels and any other MMO for that matter.

    Raiders- Basically this can be split up to a couple sections but it basically is more then one person working together to accomplish something and should be half of what an MMO is about. These people can be seen as elitists and asshats but only becuase deep down inside you want what they are getting. They actually deserve the loot they get through all the time and effort to "learn" encounters and "kill" the baddies.

    PVPers-This can easily be turned into a argument of who deserves loot and what not. I don't think people who just PvP should get loot for time spent simply pvping. I mean think about it...you dont get that "super leet sword of power" for simply trying to beat a boss over and over. You have to actually win for your efforts to be rewarded. Pretty much any game out now rewards PvPers for basically being "logged in."

    Crafting/econfreak-Ppl that love to make items or make money in a MMO. Nothing wrong with this at all although they very rarely are catered to. Usually the items just arent worth a crap or are just toys. Although making lots of "gold" could be fun at some point what do you do with it?

    From what I read AoC is the closest to catering to all these needs. It will have raid areas in which to get the "raiding" fix. It will have guild owned keeps in which the PvPers in a guild or just with friends can try to "defend" or "take".  It will have areas which will get better crafting supplies through raiding AND pvp areas with rich resources. I know crafters are on the fence but it can always be improved so I am hoping for ya. Solo play im not sure about but frankly, who cares. I am hoping this game cold bring alot of it together and make pvpers/raiders play nice or complete full out war =)

    I just hope it doesnt turn into WoW and cater to every crying casual player that is upset they dont get the same gear somone who puts in hours of playing, planning and efforts for 1/4 the playing, planning and effort. Just becuase you pay the same $15 a month doesn't mean you deserve it all the same.

    Not only does your list lack vision, but it also lacks empathy.  There are as many ways to play a game as there are people who play them.  Trying to squash all of these people into just four catagories is silly. 

    Games should be focused on including playstyles instead of excluding them.

• • When a guild says 18+

  • Being mature is more than how old you are or how you act.  Among other things, it is also about how you view the world.  People who only want to associate with people over 18 are mostly just looking for people with similar outlooks and priorities.

    No.  But for a CAD program a Laptop is inappropriate unless you are using it to show a customer what changes to thier house would look like as an architect.  Also I don't think they make Workstation cards for the laptop.

    
    I realize that using CAD on a laptop is not an ideal situation, but for our purposes it is a necessary evil.  The laptop will be used for both CAD and ArcGIS.  I was just hoping to squeeze some gaming out of it as well.

    P.S. - They do make workstation cards for laptops.
