50 Dead Squirrels in my InventoryCategory: General mmorpg's Posted on 2008-04-24 10:57:59 Add to Bookmark |

Through the games I've played, even though they are not many I have found a recurrent problem in each one of them. Either I get too many useless things on mi inventory and/or my inventory is full before I even do my third quest. My inventory tends to get filled with lower level quest items that are worth close to nothing, or don't sell well because nobody does that ~boring quest~.
In some games I even need to do a special inventory quest which is usually of royal pain proportions. I know that it would be too much to ask to have infinite inventory, but I wish we could have more useful items overall.
In game design theory, dead squirrels are useless things that players carry in their inventories, which is something game designers should try to avoid. But apparently MMO developers didn't get the memo, because we have to struggle to get all the dead squirrels out of our way when we are trying desperately to find a health potion.
Wish list
I wish I could do more with things inside games, for example if I have a rock, a string and a stick I could build a rough bow. But so far I haven't found a class that "Invents stuff".
I wish I had a search function where I c |

Is Warhammer the Next WoW?Category: Upcoming Games Posted on 2008-04-14 10:18:38 Add to Bookmark |
||||||||||||||
Warhammer Age of Reckoning is due on the shelves in the second Quarter of 2008, that is, if it's not delayed again. Over 600,00 applicants have signed up for the Beta phase of the game; and it has won several "Most Anticipated" awards among others. There is no single word that can describe WAR, but I sailed on a quest to gather more information about it since I've seen quite a few threads here and there about how it compares to WoW. I don't intend to go into every single detail here, just a quickie for discussion purposes. Once Upon a War Warhammer made its debut on 1983, it was written by Bryan Ansell, Richard Haliwell and Rick Prestley. It was a tabletop war game, created by Games Workshop called Warhammer Fantasy Battle. It included races such as:
Since it's release it has been periodically re-released and updated. The latest version dates from September 9th 2006. Okay, so when did Warhammer first jump into our PCs? It happened in 1995, the title of the game was Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat. Shadow of the Horned Rat didn't got much attention, because it was very buggy and difficult at the time of it's release. Neverthel |

The Halo Effect in MMORPGsCategory: General mmorpg's Posted on 2008-04-07 04:50:29 Add to Bookmark |

What is it?The Halo Effect is an association of one trait to another set of trades, it is closely related to the implicit personality theory. It is a very interesting phenomenon that takes place in our every day life. We do it all the time, mostly without noticing that we are. "You can't judge a book by it's cover" Ok maybe not, but we do it all the time with people don't we?One of the experiments that clearly show us the halo effect was one I saw on TV a long time ago, it goes like this: Two people with the same resume go to an interview with the same employer the difference between the two applicants is that one is clearly better good looking, better dressed and well groomed than the other one. The employer had no knowledge of this experiment being done, and after the interviews took place, the better looking person was called and offered the job. Now, what can we say about this? could you file a claim against an employer for discriminating your looks? I think not. But for the second experiment, they used elementary school kids, they introduced two "substitute teachers" for one class only, again one of them more good looking than the other |
