Hehe, you think it's a ripoff because you have to pay to play? That means Everquest and millions of others are ripoffs as well. What if I ripped the game and made it free, would it be a ripoff then?

personally your views on what is a rip off and whats not is different per person, where one person can think "wow! 15$ for all this great stuff" another person can say "WTF! why would i pay 15$ for sumthing that wont change my life (or whatever else excuse they have)" if the game makes me happy and i have the money or resources to play the game, then ill by all means pay and play the game, in this case i do not have enough money to buy the game and then pay 15$ ( is that the price?) a month to keep playing this game

The price is 50 bucks (at bestbuy -- might be less now) to buy the 4 cds. 15 buck per month or 70 bucks for a year and i cant remember the 6 month advanced payment.

The Rose Online webs site is: http://www.roseon.com/

Personaly i think it has better graphics that WoW and its free, but the story line needs some work (if there is one) and the small gliches and spelling mistakes realy add up to annoy you.

The way that some of my friends are addicted and how much time they spend on the game it is a deal at twice the price :) Blizzard took the EverQuest idea - set it in Warcraft Universe and expanded on it - WarCrack - play at your own risk :eek:

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA Warcrack. ahhhh, lemme wipe away the tear from my eye! I say, I agree, it's only a rip off if you think it is. So $50 bucks for the game, something like $70 bucks for a year of playing if you pay in advance. You've spent $120 bucks for a whole 365 days of entertainment. And you can have multiple characters so more than one person in your household can enjoy it. Meanwhile, you and your girl go to the movies and between the tickets and munchies you spend $20 bucks. Let's say you only go to the movies just once a month, well for just 12 days of entertainment you have paid out $240 bucks. I don't mind paying the money now cause to me it's still fun, but that's just me :D

uhh what if u sneak munchies into the theatre? they seriously dont care, one time we snuck subway into the theatres, lol, mmm subway, anyway yea if u have the money/resources/ and it make su happy , hell go for it! but if u dont like it and ur still paying, then yea uts a rip off, but whos dumbass fault is that? and about the EQ and WoW, its about the same with Diablo 1/2 (1/2 = 1 or 2) and runescape, they are about the same, only runescape doesnt have a part where u can beat the game, so in a way, runescape will rake in more money, but about the selling items things, if an idiot is willing to pay 15$ for 100gp then let him, hell from the looks of it i might have to get Wow and make a little profit myself.

LOL that's funny LordLoki (did I ever tell you how much I like your name? hmmm...Loki....but, you don't seem to be as much of a trouble maker as your namesake....anyway....) I am sure if you wrote into Sony they would tell you how happy they are you loved the game so much you were willing to do some volunteer work in recruitment LOL

EDIT: I remember when we were little, Ryoko and I were taken to go see the second care bears movie (hey! I SAID we were little!) and my mom snuck in Mcdonalds. We got thrown out of that theater so fast!

That's funny, well, *holds up glass* My hats off to you for succeeding in enjoying your subway in a theater instead of having to settle for stale popcorn and over-syruppy soda :D

HAHAHA yes that does take courage eh? But at least we got kicked out 20 minutes into it. Sad thing is though, I remember at the time bein so upset cause I really wanted to see that movie! I think we ended up renting it when it came out on VHS.....or rather, I think back then we had a BETA machine :rolleyes:
Lordloki - If you are asking that intentional question of me, my brother and I were like under 10 and were with our mom.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
