The ingame purchase system right now, though in controversy has a good foundation. People are screaming "Pay2Win Pay2Win" but it really isn't. At first the devs said airdrops will contain cosmetics only, but yes this changed to include some weapons which everyone raged about but when you think about it, it makes sense. This is early access and everything needs testing even the airdrop system. It has several types of drop such as The Hobo, The farmer etc and gives different loot dependent on type, with a 10 - 12% chance to give a weapon and even still that's only either a pistol or shotgun and when you take into consideration that you can die just as easily from an arrow tot he face as a bullet the whole "Pay2Win" argument looses traction very quickly, and when you throw in the fact it takes 2- 6 minutes for an airdrop to hit the ground, sends up an explosion, has flashing lights and then a massive green beacon along with a herd of zombies your chance of actually opening the damn thing is kinda small especially when other players will be after it too. 

 

So the drop system it's self is actually okay, however when it cost $5 worth of station cash each then to say it's worth it would be me lying, at this stage it's not worth the money, so just try to grab the drops from other people that are spending out the money for a less than 5% chance of actually getting something ultra rare and decent from it 

 

You do get a chance at cosmetic items that stay with you after death, and you do have a small chance at a weapon, and your garaunteed some loot such as ammo, seeds for farming, resources etc.

 

But at the end of the day, Don't waste your money

If this is another cock tease by Valve.. Im going to be very not happy.

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.

I too have a character and know a few others that do as well. I just haven't touched it for years so I don't have it installed.

Google was going to aquire it:

 

http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml

 


 

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.

This is Southernstar71 filling this out for my mother.

 

She's 69 and going to be playing Archeage.  She would very much like to be in the guild so as to not be playing totally solo.

 

She's been a widow since 1/23/08.  She's in pretty good health, but did have a heart attack 12/15/13.  She had a stint put in and is on 6 medications daily.

 

She won't cause any problems for the guild as she rarely types in chat in game. She won't be awesome in PvP or if she runs dungeons.  

 

If there is any way to get her in, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Nope, that name doesn't ring a bell, sorry.

Thought I might introduce myself or re-introduce myself to some of you who known me from OI's Second Life days.  My name there was "Heather McKay" and I served in the Astra and Officium Curia divisions from November 2008 through August 2012.  In the gap of time between then and now, I've played Guildwars2 on the Stormbluff Isle server and I was an alpha player on ArcheAge from roughly May-August 2014.  

 

Looking hopefully to meet with old friends and make new friends, so here's to a successful future.

You can forget about my previous post, I changed my motherboard and everything runs perfectly now! Never going back to Gigabyte, it's the 2nd board I've gotten from them and I've had so many issues, I'm back to Asus!

Watch out for that Xoza guy Klik.. he's trouble

Kristian Kit was found dead this morning, in his kitchen. He was discovered with a half-finished cake, the other half apparently obstructing his trachea, dying from cake-induced asphyxiation. Several bottles of milk were just outside of his reach. Written, in frosting, were the words, "Love us now?". The Dutch Korps landelijke politiendiensten (KLPD) and the local regiokorps (Regional Force) suspect foul play, especially since the words were in English. Authorities ask that if you have any information, to please step forward.

Kristian Kit is survived by a personal harem of Gorean slaves and a windmill affectionately known as "Lola".

Xoza you motherFfffer.

 

I couldn't get a grant for my flapjacks and hookers research and you fund this bullshit?

Since Ive been away, for what feels like an eternity, I figured it might be a good idea if I did one of these.  I started out in Ordo three or four years ago as a regular ol' grunt in Second Life (usually chasing Achtai around the sim threatening to take away her Catnip on a daily basis).  From there I moved up into one of the Alpha Squads, lead by Krow Ames, got inducted into Curia (Now the OMJ I think) by everyone's favorite windmill chaser (Kristian) and became a Praetorian.. which were basically Aryte's Personal Guard, and the Guardians of Ordo as a whole.  I had to step away from Ordo for personal (read RL) reasons for a while.. divorce, moving from one country to another.. that kind of thing...  but Im back and Im here to stay.

 

Now that the history's over, a bit about me... Im 35, live North of Atlanta, work in IT, spent a decade in the Marine Corps as a Radio Operator, but cross trained into wireman and networking.  I'm pretty laid back and easy going, I enjoy trolling Kavia every chance I get for anything she says (:P) and get a kick out of hanging out with nerds, geeks, dweebs and gamers in general.  Im not a huge fan of PvP, but I'll dabble now and then, I mainly play TOR, but have accounts in Wildstar, ESO, STO, WoW, DCUO, and probably a few others I cant think of off hand.  If you wanna hang out, or chit chat, or goof around, you can find me in TS most of the time. Just give me a poke!

-.- You are so mean to me.

You know ... what have I told you about trolling me? You have to get a better paying day job. I refuse to fund this anymore and I will not allow Ordo to fund it. There is NO MORE 'Trolling Kavia' fund.

 

Move on Kish!

It's pronounced "Zo-za"

 

Secret World - We have a 'guild' on Arcadia
