I don't actually think ToR is all that much like WoW, which I realize is akin to heresy in this thread.

You're wrong. There have been innovations in MMOs all along—just most of them just haven't been successful. Age of Conan and Warhammer were only the two most recent—both games with things that had never been seen before, both games whose developers tried something new. Every game since Ultima has brought its…

I would think that most games (since WoW, anyways) have had a falling off of population after the initial rush. Not surprising that ToR does too.

Or it means that she was a grandmother, and leaves behind not only children, but their children too.

Yes. More power to her. If every pro-lifer focused more energy on actual children, the world might even be a better place.

And icies at the playground. If they even have icies. Or playgrounds. Who knows? Not us!

The most comfort I can offer (because, seriously, as I am sure you know—what else is there to say?) —that would make one hell of a novel. In a really depressing, dank, American Beauty-style way.

Just do what I do. Go up and ask them about their foster children, how they're all doing, etc. Tell them you admire them, for taking in so many unwanted children. Tell them this a lot... and, nine times out of nine (in my experience) they will eventually admit they have no foster children. Or adopted children. And,…

I'll join you in the corner, and we can not talk about hair removal as well.

I love you.

Northern Ireland? Oh, never mind, I see you said Scotland. Much the same thing, Presbyterian-wise.

Lands end has something quite similar to that. Actually, for old lady suits, which I liked even before I became one, their selection's pretty damn good.

A game that's designed to be Free to play will have a different model than a game that's designed to keep players paying subscription fees. The game design itself is—or should be—totally different. One problem with most free to play MMOs is that they weren't designed to be free to play.

Yes and yes and yes. Every generation gets an Edie Sedgewick—more than one, actually, probably thousands—and there are always plenty of people to make excuses as long as it's cute and charming.

It is a nice gesture. Husband and I only got characters to 50 last week finally (although, to be fair, we had those same characters at level 45 about two months ago), so I guess our timing was good. I was holding off on the end game because it was changing with 1.2, so I didn't see the point in grinding out dailies,…

WTB sow and c2, in EC tunnel. WTT FBS for SSY and PGT.

That is when I would whip them out at my desk and go about my day. It's horrifying you had no alternative. I hope this isn't where you still get your health insurance. Money, not impossible to get. Health insurance and benefits... not like you can just quit.

In response.

I'm pretty sure they take the village thing pretty seriously in Papua New Guinea, even if they don't have an official policy on maternity leave.

If you insist, I don't mind calling you crazy, but I'd also like to point out that the cost of not being taxed is costing you a lot more than you think. Don't believe me? Talk to your parents when they get a chronic illness a few years before their medicare kicks in.
