If you compare time to gold farming, perhaps. You'd still be bad at an FPS if you haven't played it but paid someone else to, either way.

I don't see where anyone said you'd pay someone else to play -- I can't imagine a free to play game, that has unlockable items through time played, not allowing you to unlock them with money. After all, the game has to take in money somehow, doing it this way means you aren't actually selling power, but you are selling a shortcut around the long grinding period before you get the high end toys.

Thus his comment "Usually free to play just means 'pay to remove tediousness' though..." seems really quite valid to me.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.

Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Oh, by the way -- this looks EPIC!

EDIT: Hope my toaster can run it...

Edit again: Wow. Borderlands + TF2 + <"action MMO" of choice>. I think they have something. I'm a sucker for real customization...

No, time gets you somewhere. Money doesn't, it just gets showoff stuff.
So you can still pay to remove tediousness, then. Or at least, it has the potential to.
They stated "We are adamantly ( 8) ) against selling anything that might compromise the skill-based aspect of the game. "
So no invinci-armor for $5

Anything new to bump for? As long as the thread isn't old enough to have that warning come up that its a seriously old thread and you should post in it, should be fine.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Well, you want something new, how about the company making cosplays?

I find this bump to be quite lackluster.

I suppose it might be, but, the beta's under NDA, and this makes livestreams rare...

Posting to follow.

The only thing that armor is missing is the dog choker and slave chain.

Otherwise game looks interesting.

Just figured I'd post in this thread due to previous interest.

Sometime last week they sent out a huge amount of invites to people who had visited the forum more than a week prior or so at the time. Guess it was also random because a friend got the invite and I did not.

Some of those people already have received additional invites to give out as well. Will probably be seeing more news on it, but figured if you had registered and visited, check your email or whatever.

Posting to watch. This game looks pretty nice, and being free is always a bonus.
