Yeah, heh. Both the Offical Boards and the Vault boards are pretty good.
They claim they ran the numbers and this method is viable. I say more power to 'em. Not having yet ANOTHER game with a monthly plan makes Mrs. Mal very happy. Right now, I have two AC accounts and one EQ2 account. We both are gamers so GW would have added yet 2 more accounts, heh. I think most folks on my gaming site are going to be playing as most have either pre-ordered or got a guest pass for a Weekend event. Havn't found anyone that doesn't like it.
And it gets better, NO server shards. No waiting, ALL zones instanced for you and your group, you can have npc henchman if you don't want to group, no killstealing, no camping, no ninja looting, no ganking. Easy travel and when you go to the cities, you can just switch districts to be with friends and everyone else. I've been playing every weekend event since october, really looking forward to it. Can ya tell? And I've played EVERY MMOG(UO,EQ,AC,AC2,WOW,EQ2), this one is great and easy on your graphics card too. Graphics are as good or better than EQ2 and you don't need a monster to run it. I guess I'll stop now :)
