Yeah, It's pretty lame. I have a sweet rig and it still freezes on me. I guess we have to wait for a patch.

I'm serious: IT'S ABOUT TIME. Shame on you 3D Realms for making us suffer this long without the man: DUKE!
COME GET SOME!
It's all about preference. Do you like to build an economy on the fly, setting up defenses and flanking your enemy in the process (CoH)? Or do you want to gain an immediate army, mass out and assault your enemy over a fairly large map, and finish the battle in 5 minutes (WiC)?
(Edit) Oh, I almost forgot. If you want the most graphically intense game, either will work. CoH is also being patched with a Dx10 software setting. Your PC is fine; either game will run well.
Yep, that was a pretty dumb theory. I just came back from trying it, and I had no idea why I thought that it would work.I feel ashamed. I just lost myGeek Cred...
However, it is true that they do treat exploration maps likeLAN games. They do that so that they don't have to run thousands of people on one server.
{Edit} HAHA! I almost want to laugh at myself. (Notice the Almost)
Is paying for MMOs like World of Warcraft a scam? NO!Guild Wars may have revolutionized MMORPG gaming, but you have to understand how they manage to not have any fees.
First of all, what NCsoft did to kill the subscription fees was to only have about 10 to 20 servers. In order to play on missions or go out exploring, NCsoft treats the game as a LAN network. On each GW CD you buy, there are map packs. What happens when you leave towns and outposts is that they download the maps to your PC. They then create a Large LAN network over the Internet and connect it to you and the other members in your party's PCs. Towns and Outposts are pretty small compared to WOW's world. They don't need lots of servers to generate the WHOLEgame's maps.
Hey, I'm pretty sure from experience that it's even possible for you to NOT be connected to the Internet while you're playing the game, well as long as you aren't in a town or outpost (You're out exploring) and your party is with you. Only, once you complete the mission, you can't go back to the Outposts or Towns unless you are connected.
Try It! Connect to a party, then when you're in the map try turning off your modem. I really don't know if it will totally work, I just want to make sure my theory is correct. Tell me if it isn't.
Definately Fable.MindThaGap
Fable? HELLO?!!? That isn't an MMORPG!
I agree with 3secondgrenade and Muffinlord: If WOW and GW really didn't satisfy your MMORPG needs (Especially WOW) then you need a new hobby. However, if it's your friends that quit, then just make new ones online! Hey, there's millions of people playing WOW, I don't think you've met them all! If you need a friend, just add me for Pete's sake!
