Sadly I had to close my account because I was flying less than an hour a month. Money's pretty tight for me and although I want to keep supporting HTC I just can't afford 15 bucks a month for something I'm not using. I hope to return sometime next summer if things are better and I'm less burned out.

Yeah, and you blew the F4U out of the sky a micro-second before I did...... :cheers:


:cheers:

Forgot you were flying under that handle, didn't realize it was you.  Either way that F4 was in a real world of hurt.

What happened to SkatSr
He needed an operation on his hands and after that I think he just lost the desire to play anymore. He was getting kind of fed up with things as it were anyway. I really hated to see him go.

But Star Wars: The Old Republic comes out in less than a month...

I was thrilled when I discovered this sort of thing was coming out, but a lot of people are saying it's going to suck.  :(

I've been liking it during the time I've spent playing it in closed beta.

It was actually better than I thought it would be during the open beta couple of weeks ago.  Despite the heavy server load, it was pretty lag free.  I found the conversation system fun, and it was hilarious to play as a complete psychopath.  Just based on what I saw, it's already way better than Rift.

Old guys...been there done that and many of the ones that people said could or couldn't beat the other...well its kinda like saying the 1992 Alabama National Championship team defense isn't as good as (insert name here); it just doesn't matter. They were good in their time and they just faded out like we all do. Sometimes the spark gets fired up again and sometimes it just disappears forever.

I never base my enjoyment of a product, game or idea based on what someone else thinks.  Completely irrelevant to me. I like what I like, for my own reasons, and their opinion is pointless. Try the game, if you like it, have fun, if not, no biggie :)  Life is full of surprises if you let them happen  :D
