So you post a thread about how bad everything sucks except for FFXI. Then you like a webpage saying MMORPGs suck all together?

You are confused?

If I was refuting the antisocial aspect of MMORPGs, I wouldn't do it with a game where half the player base speaks another lanuage and you have to use macros to say "Kill Mob" and "Need Heal" to them. Smiley: lol

I might just refute it because you can communicate with people that don't even speak your language. It really is quite unheard of, no? Not that i would refute such a thing anyhow.

The link was just incidental... and is unrelated to the FACTS that I posted.

It's morning Kelv. No excuses for being incoherent, unless you went to see Shinedown last night at Middle East in Boston.

Did I say they were all pre-set? Nope. But obviously you're pre-creating them which means your speech is limited to a certain path. Or you're using the stock phrases via the translator.

About as unheard of as tourists wandering the streets of Paris, armed with a French-English dictionary, a Casio Electronic Translator and a hazy recollection of freshmen Intro French. In other words, nothing that hasn't been going on for ages anyway. Hell, you can sit on IRC in #Spain with Bablefish open in another window and get a more dynamic conversation going than you'll get on FFXI if you're thirsting for some multilingual conversation from your bedroom.

'Sides, FFXI is for ****-retards. It's a scientific fact.

Ok, fine. You can join a French speaking guild on EQ, armed with a French-English dictionary if it blows your dress up and they want to put up with your halting, awkward speech. WTF is the difference? So again, no, there's nothing special and wonderful about being able to say "I'm farming sheep hides, go away n00b" to some guy in Japanese on FFXI.

Communication, thus socialization, is easier when you're surrounded by people you don't have to use a translator to speak to. The more hoops you have to jump through to communicate something, the less likely people are to do it.
