    I have played WoW for a year or two, stopped playing probably a few weeks ago because I finally saw the point of how useless the game actually is.

    You get endlessly addicted to the "social" (Yes, the social within quotations and everyone will know what I mean) part of the game, and because of that you get addicted to the plowing through the extensive content.

    Ofcourse you make "friends" and sometimes you even really do meet them in real life, but that aside, after 2 years of hardcore WoW play I realised I was throwing away my life...
    Before the addiction, I went out with friends/girlfriends, having lots fun and all of a sudden me and my stupid head were thinking: "well.. I have friends here too, so why going outside to have fun if I can just stay in here sitting on my ass playing a fun game."

    game.. 'nuff said.

    Now I tell my buddies still playing WoW: "get a life, get a job, get laid"
    And you just can not deny it's the truth.

    Life > all

    ... no you pervert ! :P
    People think it's social, yes maybe in some way, but it is not social as in real life.

    Least no one has brought up my name yet.
    My name origin had nothing to do with Cybering.
    NOTHING.

    All the art content is made by the team and the source code of Quake III is GPLed so yes, this is legit. It would be legit even if they'd sell it as long as they release the modified source code.

    Sadly no, at least on QIII servers as they check for CD Key and there's none in OA. But it's only a 76MB packet so... :D Also Quake III Mods work with OA, but not on servers that run Quake III due to the CD Key check.

    Frets on Fire is a Guitar Hero clone where you turn your keyboard upside down to play it. :D

    You can even download/make your own custom songs, and import them from GH. :D

    yes, it is indeed true and thus, firearms 2 should not be supported in any way or form.

    There's a Firearms 2 and a Firearms:Source, along with WaW.

    Firearms:Source looks better from the screens so far. (to me anyway)

    WaW, I believe, are the real firearms team.

    I still don't see how there's nothing they can do legally. You simply can't just take someone's work and make it yours =/
