With this being SOE, Im sure there are microtransactions...Whats your impression of the business model for ingame purchases? Does it have any pay to win aspects to it, or is it all cosmetic?

The big ones Im running into right now are:
1) The Isis Virus. Your system will get a screen coming from the Department of Homeland Security saying that your system has been flagged for <insert technobabble here> offense and is assisting ISIS. You MUST call <insert bullshit number here> and report this screen showing up or your computer will be confiscated and you'll be charged with <insert bullshit charge by FBI/CIA etc>.
2) You'll be emailed, IMd, or contacted via phone by someone claiming to be either a partner of Microsoft's OR Microsoft themselves saying that your computer has been compromised/having issues and then will request access to your computer via remote. Once they obtain access they infect your computer and the virus above pops up, or another screen that "locks" you out and says you must pay an $800 fee (more or less) to have it fixed.
Most of us here are pretty intelligent and tech savvy, but our elderly family/younger family members may NOT be. Have them contact their ISP if this stuff pops up and let them know, change all the passwords for their banking etc, and if its a phone call, report the number that contacts you to your local PD's fraud squad.

Heroes of the Storm = MOBA
World of Warcraft = MMORPG
Overwatch = FPS
StarCraft = RTS
...Yeah seems to be going down that route.
You forgot one:
Hearthstone = TCG

Every 10th November, United States Marines gather.. no matter where they are deployed, no matter where they are, no matter what they're doing, and spends a few moments thinking back to our birth. Tomorrow (Monday) is the 10th of November.. the 239th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps. While Im no longer amongst my Brothers in Arms, I still try to celebrate and remember where I came from.
As is tradition (and standing orders), three things take place. First, there's the gathering of Marines (Usually in formation), second there's the reading of Maj Gen John A. Lejeune's Birthday Message, and finally there's the passing of cake from the Eldest Marine to the Youngest, signifying the passing of knowledge and the torch from one generation of Marines to the next. Given that the internet is a gathering place for Marines (Many of whom are in my friends list on several forums/chat systems etc), we'll consider the first part covered.
The second:
MARINE CORPS ORDERS
No. 47 (Series 1921)
HEADQUARTERS U.S. MARINE CORPS
Washington, November 1, 1921
759. The following will be read to the command on the 10th of November, 1921, and hereafter on the
10 November of every year. Should the order not be received by the 10th of November, 1921, it
will be read upon receipt.
(1) On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of Continental
Congress. Since that date many thousand men have borne the name "Marine". In memory of them it is
fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our corps by calling to mind the
glories of its long and illustrious history.
(2) The record of our corps is one which will bear comparison with that of the most famous
military organizations in the world's history. During 90 of the 146 years of its existence the
Marine Corps has been in action against the Nation's foes. From the Battle of Trenton to the
Argonne, Marines have won foremost honors in war, and in the long eras of tranquility at home,
generation after generation of Marines have grown gray in war in both hemispheres and in every
corner of the seven seas, that our country and its citizens might enjoy peace and security.
(3) In every battle and skirmish since the birth of our corps, Marines have acquitted themselves
with the greatest distinction, winning new honors on each occasion until the term "Marine" has come
to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.
(4) This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who are Marines today have received
from those who preceded us in the corps. With it we have also received from them the eternal spirit
which has animated our corps from generation to generation and has been the distinguishing mark of
the Marines in every age. So long as that spirit continues to flourish Marines will be found equal
to every emergency in the future as they have been in the past, and the men of our Nation will
regard us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have served as "Soldiers of
the Sea" since the founding of the Corps.
JOHN A. LEJEUNE,
Major General Commandant
75705—21As for the third.. There's only so much you can do online.
Happy Birthday Marines.. no matter where you are, what you're doing, who you're with.. enjoy your day.. remember who we are, celebrate where we come from.. watch your six and come back home safely.

I was at Camp Lejeune NC preparing for a shooting competition.. We had a couple of the RSOs come out of the Range Hutt just before the briefing began and told us that a plane had hit the first tower. We started laughing and shaking our heads... I turned to the RSO and said.. "Cmon SSgt.. cant you guys come up with a better scenario than someone flying a jumbo jet into a building..." The SSgt pulled us into the range hut JUST as the second plane impacted... we took one look at one another and knew what it meant. We walked outside, started filling sandbags and lined the 5 Ton bed, set up the .50 cals and saws.. and pretty much turned our truck into a rolling fortress. Took us 9 hours to get back to Cherry Point, and its a 45 min drive. The world definitely changed that day.. and a lot of the kids I worked with, werent kids anylonger.

Google was going to aquire it:
http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml
In May, Variety first reported that Google GOOGL -0.44% was in talks to acquire video game streaming company Twitch for more than $1 billion. Three months later, that deal is dead and Amazon.com AMZN +2.87%confirmed on Monday that it’s purchasing Twitch for approximately $970 million in cash.
Google was unable to close the deal, said sources familiar with the talks, because it was concerned about potential antitrust issues that could have come with the acquisition. The Mountain View, Calif. company already owns YouTube, the world’s most-visited content streaming site, which competes with Twitch to broadcast and stream live or on-demand video game sessions. One source noted that because of the concerns, Google and Twitch could not come to an agreement on the size of a potential breakup fee in case the deal did not go through
Personally, Im kinda glad Google didnt get their hands on it, they screwed Youtube up enough as it is, god forbid they Ffff around with Twtich. Lets just hope Amazon doesnt turn it into a microtransaction Ffff fest.

Cool.. thats what I needed to know.. Ive read and seen a lot of crap about the drops and all, so that makes sense.. but what bugged me is the fact you're paying real cash in microtransactions in what amounts to a paid beta test. Thanks for the info Esva it helps put perspective on it.
