Actually, WOW graphics seem to have more in common with UO.
Similar poly count, at least.

Anyone else find it no coincidence that the trolling of this forum has gone up as the stability of the WoW servers has gone down?

Yes, because server stability means so much while we're all at work! :roll:

You mean like all the posts made from some WoW gamers from between 5:00 pm to 2:00 am? Including from you?


Maybe you can get a bot to keep attempting to login while you make derogatory posts on other games forums.

I got that covered... I can VNC into my computer at home from work or my cellphone and log into the WoW queue.

kinda pointless though since BOTH (meaning 2) times I was in a login queue it took less than a minute.

But after that minute is over, you still have demons retaining water.

I couldn't do PvP worth a shit...but I'd play UO again if I could blow people up. There is nothing more fun than seeing someone cuss you out in "OooOOoOOo"'s when they're dumbasses ran up to a trapped chest and didn't even bother trying a telekinesis on it. My house was full of reagents and full armor sets that cost me the price a few ingots and a few reagents for making potions.
