A blast from the past!

Sir William:
Hmm...never thought of it like that- buying an unfair advantage.  I could see how that would be an issue in a MMO.  I know in Oblivion most of the upgrades were better weapons, armor and spells (I think)...I guess the big deal was that they expected it to do more?  I dunno.

Sir Edward:

It also depends on which payment model the game uses. The cosmetic-only upgrades are usually in games that have a monthly subscription fee. If the game is free to play, then usually there are for-purchase enhancements that are all game-changing advantages. But since that's how they make their money, they have to make sure there's a steady stream of cash flowing in from players wanting to be competitive. So it depends a lot on what model they're following.

Sir William:
We've already gone beyond what I know about it...I generally don't play online at all.  All of my gaming systems are offline...guess that means I need to knuckle up and get that wireless router and receiver.  LOL

Some of my friends have been trying really hard to get me online since Black Ops came out?  Anyone else play Call of Duty?  Well, I played it online with some friends over the weekend at their house...its pretty sick.
