it's post beta right now. It's technically live. Not sure what benefits you would get by ordering now versus waiting for a few days/weeks. For the first time in months the game is really suffering from growing pains.

I second the nice community in RIFT. None(or very little) of the nonsense from other MMO's like WoW.

I imagine it's for a certain believability i.e. why people are rebuilding and the source of complex building materials, etc.

I for one would like a sandbox game where the background is that you arrived on a planet as part of a colony ship in order to start over.

all of my characters have leveled somewhat painlessly, with the exception of this warrior tank I've been using. For some reason it seems that he is not getting the same amount of experience as the others. strange. starting to wonder if it's bugged.

The M240B is a larger caliber than the SAW, or M249. They both usually serve the same role, but the reach and stopping power of the 240 makes it dear to everyone but the poor squad gunner who has to carry it.

Just a head's up to anyone that  hasn't yet heard....... there is a phishing scam going around. It supposedly asks you to log into a website and change your password. Obviously don't click links in emails.

Other Games / Console baseball

I'm an avid baseball fan and look forward to the annual release of console baseball games. This year I decided to pick up all of them and give each one a go. So far I have MLB the Show 11(personal favorite) and MLB 2k11(for the million dollar prize). I also love MLB Power Pros( a baseball rpg) but don't think there will be another in the US, sadly.

The Show just keeps getting better; amazing sound, photo realistic graphics on good tv's, great responsive controls, and a great experience with creating your own player and developing him. It just feels like baseball.

2k11 is just the opposite and it is actually unpleasant to play. The whole thing smacks of 2008, as if they haven't worked on a single line of code or graphic design since then. The controls are delayed and awkward. The graphics are chunky and rough. The animations seem to be missing about every other frame. Lot's of stutters in the middle of critical moments. Awful audio and voice overs. I don't even want to keep listing the bad features as it is just upsetting. I now know why they offer a prize of $1 million dollars for a perfect game, anyone who can play it long enough to earn that deserves whatever they want. In fact, I feel like anyone who plays a season should get $1 million.

lead dev has become indecisive as he is trying to please everyone. 1 server, then 2, then one etc.
keeping original totems in place for relaunch, then not, then some, then none. etc.
relaunch on thurs, but not allowing placing of totems. just grouping and waiting for friday.
friday allowing placing of totems but then asking everyone to log off so as not to strain servers.

wtf is he thinking? I have been an ardent supporter but his latest moves are questionable and out of character. I suspect the stress is too much to bear right now.

Ibuprofen is pretty harmless, yet very effective. In the army they call it Ranger candy due to it's largest dose of 800mg being handed out so often for aches and pains during rigorous training. Other than potential liver damage from long term overuse, it's probably the best medical innovation since Penicillin.


Sorry for the derail Strife. Stay safe brother. Hope you get out of tent city soon and into a CHU.

I only ask because there is a magnetic/sonic lab with a very large dish in Yakima that is known to disrupt communications(and cause migraines) when operating.

ugh, i'm getting 94ms to Seattle and I'm in NYC. I feel for you. I get periods every few days where I get this type of interference for hours.

Are you near Yakima?

Outside of Ibuprofen, the most widely used medication while deployed is Loperamide :)

With that nausea they might give you some Phenagrin to help you sleep despite wanting to puke.
