I think you mean the Merovingian, the dude from the two sequels. He does have a French accent though, even though he usually only swears in French.

I have a level 31 M-gear that I've given up beating my head in trying to grind, so I'll be playing a B-gear named StormSand from now on. Also on Joymus ANI.

Thank you so much for the link to xkcd Ahnion. I used to read it before one of my formats and utterly forgot about it.

Right here Midragar. Having no credit card is an utter b*tch when you're always doing things online.

Give SCO a whirl, it's free and has a neat combat system. But avoid the M-gear at all costs, it's broken beyond belief so it isn't playable.

The cave was originally discovered in 1991 by Elias Zandi and another person who's name I cannot remember. They authorized Cyan Worlds to create the Myst games that would inform the public of their discovery of another culture. Elias Zandi subsequently died somewhere in there. When Uru was first released in 2004, the DRC had been working to restore the cave since '99 (well, Sharper had been, was reading his journal the other day). I think Joshua Zandi had something to do with the announcement, because as the son of Elias Zandi he technically owns the surface and the Cleft. He fought a legal battle with the DRC to bring people down, and might have announced it to the world. When people heard about this, they either felt a connection to D'ni or not, but those who did were drawn to the cavern no matter what. If you're in the cavern, you probably felt drawn there for reasons you don't understand.

That or your an insane player trying to act as one of the DRC, but ignore those folks, the DRC is Cyan employees.

I read/have read way too many webcomics to make a proper favorites list. All-time favorite though is Questionable Content, which I picked up over the summer and read the archives of three times in one month.

So, instead of that, here's my daily list for you to peruse.

Edit: EOI used to be really enjoyable, but I stopped caring when it went inactive and just can't will myself to pick it up again. Concerned was also great, but it's finished as of last month or so.

There are comics that I drop whenever I format and lose my bookmarks.Some of the dropped ones that I still remember if you want to check them out are Mac Hall, Ugly Hill, Belphegor, and Fractured Service.

Why don't we just honestly be the group of players left over from Seed? The Myst series is known in Uru, so why not just have the people playing Uru from the Seed community be ones who were naturally attracted to the cavern and they knew each other from Seed. Tada.

Firefly should make a really interesting setting for an MMOG, assuming someone manages to make a decent game with the tools.

Sort of an overwhelming generalization I made as to why voice-chat wouldn't work so well in an RP game, that's all. I don't have any social issues either, but some would be uncomfortable with the idea. A written system works better for RP anyways because it allows for the player to think out his character's actions in a conversation instead of feeling pressure to respond instantly.

Anyways, I just writing that because my mind drifted onto a decent chat system as being part of a Perfect MMORPG. A good chat system doesn't make a good game in and of itself.

As far as I'm concerned, there isn't really an MMORPG out right now that's really suitable for roleplaying, but if there was one, a great chat/emote interface would be part of it.

I've noticed that a lot of RP in games tends to not involve any movement (making /sit emotes a must big_smile ), because we all have to type away at the keyboard or keep clicking back and forth between the screen and chat window. Voice chat works really well for the action oriented MMOGs, but by nature a lot of RPers seem to have social issues (which is weird considering how much talking/typing is involved in RP), and there's very little or no chance that your voice would match up with the character you were trying to play. So for the Perfect MMORPG I'd like to see a voice-to-text option so you can RP on the go, making adventures that much more interesting because not everyone shuts up as soon as you start to move to a different area. And a dedicated RP channel which everyone respects would be amazing.

Tons and tons of emotes would also be great. Seed's really one of the few games I can remember having played which had facial emotes, which work great for expressing mood.

And just before I post this, we need chairs people! Like I said earlier, /sit emotes are a must for RP a lot of the time, but wouldn't it be great if we could at least get some proper seating?
