[QUOTE=Hullu V3;22820360]It's still money.[/QUOTE] Thats [B]IMPOSSIBLE[/B], has the Lab confirmed this? You have to pay money to play a MMO!? What a stunning revelation, what an attrocious change of events! [editline]11:47AM[/editline] [QUOTE=BloodYScar;22820413]Its no MMO.[/QUOTE] [quote]A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously.

So you are paying monthly for second life so to speak, atleast SL did the customization better.

Yeah it's pretty much Second Life. Except for the fact it's not at all. They're not even remotely similar.

The main difference between SL and APB is that in SL you have to deal with furries, in APB you have to deal with chavs.

[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;22820846]So you are paying monthly for second life so to speak, atleast SL did the customization better.[/QUOTE] What. You're not serious, are you? [editline]02:09PM[/editline] I mean, yeah, it's more extensive (which isn't a good thing in SL's case), but making something not retarded and not ugly looking is extremely difficult.

Wait a second? I read that this doesn't have monthly fee, this has the gameplay time system or something?

There's a system where you either pay monthly or you pay for hours. You have to pay either way if you plan on leaving the Social District, though.

Guys I don't know whether I wanna pre-order this or not. Is it cheaper if you pre-order? It says this: [img] http://filesmelt.com/dl/Capture2123.JPG[/img]

I thought the £35 slashed out would show that yes, it is cheaper.

I guess it was a kind of stupid question. Wasn't sure though, I thought if you pre-ordered things they were more expensive.

[QUOTE=Dashiel;22822685]:raise: What on earth gave you that idea?[/QUOTE] Bonus content, special editions etc.

[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;22822732]Bonus content, special editions etc.[/QUOTE] Yup, this. [editline]03:07PM[/editline] Also, I'm going to pre-order this. Is the beta still open?

No. The KttC ended the 19th.

Ah okay.

omg my balls are just itching to play this game. What do you guys prefer to play as, male or female?

Female, if I'm going to stare at an arse for hours on end then I'd rather it not be a man's.

Am I the only one who thought the female breasts were kinda... wrong? I don't know, they were too low or something. They looked weird.

If they are too low then use the perkiness slider to bring them up? v:v:v

All FP crims should be female, for teh lulz

[QUOTE=Maximo13;22826337]All FP crims should be female, for teh lulz[/QUOTE] I could imagine a gang like that. Bitchez "R" Us

If any of you guys are looking for a Russian Mafia / Quasi-Military clan that emulates the Gol'yanovskaya, you should check out my clan, the USSR. We've got a recruitment thread on the official forums. :3: We have vent and everything.

How much is it for the monthly payment type?

I'd rather be a guy in MMO's infact in all games except like tomb raider and ones I don't have a choice.

Male main in MMOs for me, always. Cuz I think my main char in an MMO represents me.

[QUOTE=kevaughan;22824870]omg my balls are just itching to play this game. What do you guys prefer to play as, male or female?[/QUOTE] I play a dude, because I'm a dude, and my avatar in the game represents me. All the women in APB look like huge sluts anyway.

Until I played this game I always stuck with a male character for my main but after playing around with customisation and getting a feel for the game with both genders I prefer female.

[QUOTE=Glent;22827486]All the women in APB look like huge sluts anyway.[/QUOTE] That is the reason I am making one. Also, smaller hitboxes.

Actually they all carry the same hitbox at the moment, one of the developers was talking about that on Kotaku Talk Radio.
