No worries, the game is well worth the wait... I despise MMO's in general, but this one has managed to pull me back into the genre.

Well all the issues that occur with MMOs will occur here as well. You will have the cheaters, and if scrip (currency) can be traded, you will have the currency sellers, campers of uber drops, etc. It's always like that.

Why not, what's up over there?
I was thinking about it but ping from AU is always worse to EU than it is to US.

Russians, ofcourse.

[MacDeath]

I can see it now

"Hey Serge the enemy are coming"

"How many Corporal?"

"**** knows but there are a lot of fours."

Hmm, not TOO strange to count by fours... When I was a young Marine there were 4 members of a fire team. A team leader, a rifleman, a BARman (Browning Automatic Rifle) and an assist BARman, to carry extra ammo and to replace the BARman when he is taken out. A BARman puts out the most fire so he also draws the most fire. Their estimated time in a fire fight wasn't long. Course many firefights were over in a few seconds.

So, watch the beauty of this system. A fire team leader has 3 people to herd. A squad has 3 fire teams so a Squad Leader has 3 Team leaders to herd. A platoon has 3 squads, a company has 3 platoons, a battalion has 3 companies, a regiment has 3 battalions and a division has 3 regiments. So at each level of command, you are only responsible for 3 subordinates. I was a very easy system.

PLEASE don't tell me if it doesn't work that way anymore.

off topic now who else thinks they need to add some type of gambling system to the game other than the lock boxes

I was one of the first players to get on-line with the launch of the original Everquest many moons ago... trust me, I know all the evils of MMO, so far this one has cured most of the ills that drove me away.

This bloke was hilarious. Tequila abounded. He told me about his shenanigans in Annapolis. The crazy things young Marine LT's have to do, motorcycle safety officer and sexual health officer are actual things and conversations he has to have.

just gotta find the right americans...

[Freyar]

Silver lining? I'm tired now so I may sleep soon.

[Larcus]

It does brother but instead of the BAR you got your "SAW" Squad Automatic Weapon M249 and he has to carry all his ammo lol

The vast majority of the time, you'll find it's our military personel who have the most interesting things to say, and the greatest capacity for "the devil's drink" as well.

Agreed. I have also quit playing most MMOs, but this one has really sucked me in.

Now to get my buddies sucked back in as well... :P
