    What to do if SOPA hits.

    Think of it this way, if SOPA passes then a lot of websites would flee to another part of the North American Backbone and that will be Canada. We might have only half as much infrastructure but it will be cheaper and a lot less restrictive. The sudden move would also boost interest in the...

    What to do if SOPA hits.

    It is not, that is the whole point in it. We have no ability or right to force another government to throw out laws they do not agree with but the people being affected by their own government can. So, on this grounds, it is alright for us to use what little power we do have to show our...

    Operation Crowbar!

    Just a heads up. It is a scam, a good one too, but not how you normally think. There is nothing illegal with this one what so ever, but the person running it will make a good deal of money offering a 'service.' The link in question will take you to a store front from which you can purchase...

    What to do if SOPA hits.

    You wouldn't have to immigrate your persons, just your business, and that is very simple to do in a Virtual world. It would be simple to move the content to non-us servers and host through non-us websites if your providing a service on-line. You loose your US customers, this is true, but the...

    File-sharing Remains Legal In Switzerland

    It isn't sinister gesture, it is human nature. People are slow to change when they encounter something new and problems are no different to that. Encounter a problem, go full steam ahead because what has worked in the past has to work in the future. Of course, the real world does not work...

    File-sharing Remains Legal In Switzerland

    Gabe has stated it best and I can't quote so I will paraphrase: The best way to stop piracy is to produce high quality goods for a fair price. It is very easy to beat pirates when it comes to quality. Pirates are ripping off your product which means they can't top your quality. In doing...

    File-sharing Remains Legal In Switzerland

    Did you even read the study in question. They concluded that pirates purchase more legitimate copy of games in general then non-pirates do, period. This means the pirate community controls a larger chunk of the legitimate game users then non-pirates. Yet you still argue that these...

    Lawyer Destroys Arguments for Game Piracy

    That was a line that got to me as well. This is a complete line of bullshit, as if they have a right to our money the moment the game comes out instead of having to wait till we decide to give them that money! That any reason, including verifying that the product is worth spending money on, is...

    A little advice about one of our players...

    Keep in mind they also have more base attacks then fighters at this level thanks to the flurry of blows ability, of which three attacks are done at +15, compared to the fighters two attacks at 15 or above. Monks are no means weak, they have better defensive rolls then fighters, higher will and...

    A little advice about one of our players...

    As much of a story teller I am, I have to point out that D&D has always been about rules. If you are uncomfortable with a few additional rules, simply to limit the damage of having books on books of conflicting rules, then D&D is clearly not for you. Refusing to keep a firm control over which...

    A little advice about one of our players...

    Take a look at what he said the guys character was, take a look at three separate classes being used and all of them from obscure rulebooks unlikely designed with balance in mind. This guys DM fails so badly based on that simple fact alone: He let this guy munchkin it up from the get go by...

    Poll: Which enemy/enemy type in Skyrim do you hate the most?

    I voted other because the dragon priests really should be in a category of their own. These are eight unique bosses, for those who do not know, that have a great deal of health and throw out frost spells as if there was no mana cost to them. Given that I had practically glitched that game when...

    Underaged Gamers

    Squeekers, good name for them, do not bother me in the slightest and are welcomed with open arms on our servers. We recognize that the gaming community is getting older, with some of us around since the C64 era, and that new blood in not only inevitable but a requirement for our continued...

    Are gamers "nicer" people?

    We are simply people. You will need to focus on each individual, as we all have our good sides and bad sides. As a community we have our demons and our angles and it depends on who you run into. You might come away believing we are all harmless enthusiasts that seek only to over come our...

    Ocean Marketing's Founder Claims He's Sorry

    I disagree.... I could take the whole moral ground about how disgusting it is to assault an innocent third party because your upset with someone they know but I won't. I will instead focus on your argument that it is the only way to get to a guy like this. Let us take a closer look at the...
