>Don't be sad that it's gone, be happy that it happenedLet's have a thread to commemorate the greatest internet forum to have ever been.
It was neat that the developers would talk with us on there after the release of Neverwinter Nights. A shame though that WotC required them to lock any thread where people were talking about persistent worlds.
>>750170439good times
>>750171836>Telling people how to cancel is breaking TOSNice.
>>750170439>BluRay playerHoly fuck how expensive would this have been back when this was posted?
These are still too new. There were the much older forums too.
>>750170439Herro I am Stanrey Poo.Thread is inappropriate.End of rine.__________ <- rine end here
guys... careful... lowhack is around here....
>>750170439for me it's not even the specs or price or getting conned into geek squad warranty, but it's the way he wrote each spec

>>750170439STANDING HEREI REALIZETROONS ARE NOT LIKE MEBECAUSE THEY LOSE MONEY
>>750172206Like 600 bucks. Shit used to be cheap.
Where Stanrey Roo at?
>>750173467His rine has ended.
>>750172206I remember when BluRay drives came out and the Sony one by itself was like $299 and that was one of the most expensive components of my build
>>750173025I remember when they released pvp and all the dark side players got insta pvp bis gear and the light side players said it was ok because they are siths and jedis must suffer
>>750173782>Jedi are actual cucksYup, that tracks.
kek, I remember those fuckers permabanned me for saying Witcher 2 was a better game than Dragon Age 2
>>750173838Because it is not a better game and if you keep that shit up then it'll be DING DONG BANNUEND OF RINE
>>750170439anyone got the one where a dude shit on his copy of ME3
>>750173782
>>750172464man I miss the old internet
>>750174017That one lmao
Guys how did TOR ever fail when the math said it was impossible?
>>750174182LOL
>>750174017>>750174182>heh I'm glad everyone is quittingGood strat
>>750174330Man Gaider was such a faggot.
>>750173761Yeah that's crazy. Still very expensive too, I made a build two years ago and it was probably a little over or under 100.
>New Jade Empire never everBefore anyone goes,>OHHHH DEI DEI AHHHH THEY HAVE QUEERSAll I fucking want to do is beat up the Tao. I hate them so goddamn much.
>>750170439Does anyone have that youtube video of this post and some other ones being read out in text to speech voice?
>>750175132>New Jade Empire never everI replayed it recently and it's kinda bad, doesn't hold up
>>750175269I played it last year and still had a good time, up until some quest near the city decided to fuck up my save by somehow reducing it to single FPS
TOR Players were very rude.
>>750175640That's funny because classic wow players call this "soul"
>>750170439
>>750173025This kinda shit is what made me quit mmo's forever. They let scumbags with a power trip ruin everything.

>>750174020>2010>old internet
>>75017698316 years
Does anyone have the funeral guy?
>>7501769832010 just about qualifies as old internet I'd say
>>750173025kek this era on the forums was hilarious
my favorite memories of the BSN were>endless quarian vs geth debate thread where two people argued for thousands of pages for over 3 years daily>character/romance subforum being nuked because of a Miranda thread "civil war">Cerberus fans being literal nazis and openly discussing eugenics etc until the BSN shut down
>>750177347I can't believe the Bioware management allowed their PR to get so bad during the 2010s, it was biblical to watch unfold
>>750175640The pvp chads were especially rude
>>750176983Even 2010 was better than what we have now
>>750170439idk anything about these ancient specs, is the PC just far too shit to run the game and he got conned into buying a full PC plus warranty that isn't strong enough to run the game on minimum or something?
>>750178189The video card for starters is an archaic piece of junk that was only fit for office prebuilts even when it came out. For it to be the feature of a 12GB PC is a complete mismatch.
im THIS far into a bioshit forums thread, and no DING DONG BANNU?what the shit
>>750173492he's right, thoughIf a Bioware game had HMOAF, /v/'s opinion would be much more favorable.
BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER.
>>750178565You must be illiterate.
>>750178827hello fairandbalancedfan
>>750178983Am i really wrong for wanting to tear up some wolf pussy? I thought you weebs loved Krystal from Star Fox
>>750175640I made high pitched awkward noises reading this. How out of touch with reality are people in message boards? Was the PHP vulnerability intended to be an opportunity for these people?
>>750170439i remember this because i got fucking scammed by the ge force gt 520 toogod damn what a piece of fucking shit that gpu was
>>750177870WOW what is wrong with these chuds? No wonder this game died when the nazi PVPers just brutally rape you all day and rub it in your face
>>750170439>520
>>750179713"im 12 and what is this" was a popular meme at the time, the mods who didnt understand the meme took it face value and banned the guyi know i shouldnt have to explain this in [currentyear] but this board is filled with colossal newfaggots nowadays
>>750173025to be fair at least they did apologize in the end, other places wouldn't have said anything
>>750175640That guy was 100% trolling. Lmao. "I, like most social people, like to reserve 10-15 minutes before the first pull" Lmao, There's no shot a single other guy was doing that ever, and I applaud him.
>>750179941They apologized in corpospeak.You will notice no corpo will ever say "I am sorry". They will say "We apologize" or "We are sorry you...", which is a non apology that should never be accepted.
>>750170439I don't know bros when I look back at these posts I realize every one of them was just an elaborate troll
>>750179848>>750179713This still happens on Twitch to this day.
>>750180219It happens on this shit site too.
>>750174182>Divide by everything is fine and nothing is wrong.
>>750180093a couple may have been trolls but most were genuine, the bioware forums were a real freakshow back in the day
>>750173896>>750176092lol classic
>>750180090I thought I was having a stroke for a moment.
>>750180024>I just want to start off by apoligizing>aAgain, I apologizse to anyone affected>you will be recieving personal calls from our Customer Service Team and recieve a personal apologyYes they fucked up but this is a very rare moment of them actually recognizing they fucked up and actually attempted something. What would you rather have instead? Ding dong bannu?
>>750180090>Good lordkek

>>750179087jesus I still hate this so much
>>750177347>>750173025
Most of the stuff people misunderstood about Bioware boils down to the upper management all being fags. And fags act like pajeets and only bring in other fags to positions of power.
>>750171836>It's against the rules to inform people how to cancel their subscriptionStay classy, internet jannies lmao.
>>750181624you must now re-add it to your rotation or unspeakable things will happen
>>750174182I need remedial math classes because I don't get this

I don't even know why I have this saved, but here you go.
>>750179713This is some hackers on steroids stuff right here
>>750171836>say words>money stolen
>>750170439I used to be a prolific poster on the BSN during the ME3 multiplayer days. I doubt this means anything to anyone, but if you remember the geth prime sync kill thread, I was the one that shitposted so hard that it got locked.
>>750183012>>750183045>>750183079>>750183109>>750183159>>750183187>>750183207>>750183224Now I know why forums died out and all the game companies moved to discord. A lot harder to archive shit like this, because you need an account to join the server in the first place, and search options suck ass and there's no organization.They got so assblasted from their own words they walled off any onlookers.
>>750173025I've seen this exact situation play out in another game not even two months ago. Times change but powertripping faggots remain the same. Only after getting caught do these fuckers fess up to their incompetence.
>>750183256Wasn't there also a dev who gave a 10 score to DA2 and 1 score to Witcher 2?
>>750181236So much has been lost, never to be regained again...
>>750176983Anything past iphone is nu-internet but it took around 2014 for until great browning + boomering + ipad childrening + corporate enthshittification to turn it into complete shit.
>>750181327Hey now that's a lot more complex than just red, green and blue. It's also got the bad and good modifiers!
>>750183362
>>750183351
>>750183414Good investigating
>>750179941>>750180024Actually, they did go all out in apologizing to him IIRC. If I remember right they gave him a lifetime subscription, all in game shop items free, written and spoken apologies from every moderator and parts of the dev team, and a bunch of other stuff. I remember because I really envied that guy in a weird way. Imagine having the devs personally call you one by one to say their sorry. Imagine being able to shit talk the devs personally and they can't say anything back or it's a PR nightmare.
>>750183446>Farming is not allowed>In this MMOThe fucking genre's entire purpose is farming, that's all there is to do in MMO's. What the fuck is this janny smoking???
>>750183656sneaking around mobs and looting 10 levels higher containers than your character level is also bannable
>>750183614>go do something productive in the gaming community...
>>750183572To be honest, using ingame auctions to buy and resell for profit is fucking cringe. All that does is inflate the price of all the goods until they get retard-expensive.I single handedly doubled the price of some items in Crossout using the auction system and I then felt pretty shitty for doing it lmao.
>>750183689>Getting banned for>Checks notes>Looting freely available chestsLol, lmao even! Can you guys give me the QRD on this game? Why is it so fucking retarded?
RINE END HERE
>>750183752Do jannies actually have any self awareness?>You retards are just going to close this>Vindicates himWhat causes this fucking retarded behavior? If someone ran up to me and said that I was going to shove 24 inches of wood up my ass, I wouldn't do that to spite them lmao.
>>750183819It had a really shitty engine and Bioware had no prior experience with MMORPGs so it was buggy, laggy, etc.Couple that with typical bioware nazi forum moderators trying to silence criticism.
>>750179087tbf Merrill is the best woman in that game
I'm so old that for me the SWTOR shit is only the most recent drama on that forum. I remember Gaider wanking about how he decided your decisions in DA:O didn't matter if he didn't like them and would be undone in DA2. what an embarrassingly shitty game that was. it was actually shocking, at the time. big game studios didn't do cheap shit like that! it may have been the first.
>>750172464>just go and post about how much you dislike the opposite game, it doesn't even have to be true, we're getting back at them!I bet they're still here.
People don't know, but the old Bioware forums from the early 2000's were pretty good. Everyone talked about BG, KOTOR and NWN there. Lots of modding. Gaider was active there too but everyone got along because this predated EA. They shut it down and opened a new one. No archives exist.
>>750184198He tried to warn us.
>>750183348Warframe's had a power tripping fag chat mod for 12 years.
>>750181170>It's the first time some of my relatives have ever looked at me with anything resembling approvaland I bet it was the last
>>750181327>w-we left that bug in on purpose!that cope is almost worse than the RGB one
>>750174330They were right though. /v/ tried to force TORtanic for years, meanwhile the game kept going and succeeding while /v/ ruined itself trying to turn everything into the TORtanic. It took until Concord to finally happen but the board was destroyed.
>>750184020fucking something awful paypigs
>>750184857hope you got ten bux
>>750183572>>750183689>>750183446fucking petit-bourgeois kulak scum. we're all comrades in this game, exploiting the economy with cleverness or patience is punishable by death.
>>750183819it was made by Canadians.
>>750170439For me it’s the one where they banned people for dancing outside of cities, rather than fixing a bug that made enemies unable to attack you if you danced with them.
>>750170439all zoomers buy pre built pcs so they don't understand how funny this is
>>750172560is this the same guy?https://vocaroo.com/1jOxC0ijD7Ahthis was a post around the bf5 release time
>>750173025i don't even get why they powertrip like this, just say "thank you for your report, we will have a discussion with the GM in question and investigate the situation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we hope you will continue to enjoy your game." then never say anything about it again, PR 101
>>750181236Back when peeps didn't feel bad for being basement dwellers or bordering on hikikomori status, and turbotism was celebrated. We can never go back
Seems like the Bioware forums post EA buyout were proto-ResetEra in a way. Except with more genuine autists like >>750181236 to balance out the more mundane faggot retardation of everyone else.
>>750170439Honestly, it's the opposite for meI'm happy that Bioware is gone and said that it happened at all
>>750183187I thought end of rine was a meme
All thes dev comments are super funny now they admit that dragon age 2 was forced and rushed by EA and no one was happy with it.
>>750179970this, it's a good one too>deep, lasting friendships and even find a wifefucking lmao
>>750176983This. Old internet is anything before 2008. Before social media really took off. Or anything after Summer of Newfags 2007 for 4chan.
>>750183782That's called trade you fucking retard.
>>750174020white people turned malicious and cancerous around 2016, they fully embraced their shabbos goy status. now they bicker 24/7 and fantasize about murder, they dont bant anymore.i really feel bad for you if your only language is english/russian/chinese, awful, awful souless husks of people that only fight and hate
>>750184821The game itself was a failure. Yes, it eventually managed to turn a profit years later, but when you ask incestor to dump hundreds of millions into a project with expectations that within less then a year it would make WoW levels of money and youd make a return on your investments, then they expect that to happen, not almost 10 years later. Keep in mind the $200m budget does not include the vastly higher PR budget for the game. Thats the hidden equation. Its why the Star Wars sequels, despite their earnings, weren't enough to warrant additional films, even canceling planned in-between ones.
>>750187656>accidently typo'd investors as incestorsKek
I wish I had the captures but I remember that faggot David Gaider calling romanceable Dwarves "ew", saying the fact he didn't add a Female Qunari romance for Inquisition was because he didn't want to cater to muscle fetishists while also trying to force that "RIDE THE BULL!" meme for Iron Bull.
>>750170439>12 gigabytes of ram powerThis has aged better than expected
>>750179713I got banned from 4chan for saying that once.I'm just hoping the janny was making a joke at my expense and not a completely out of touch humorless tranny.
>>750170439Nostalgia for legacy brands is like the bell from Pavlov's dog: there is no food, yet the dog still salivates anyways.Don't be a dog.
>>750188223The thing is even if jannies of whatever site know it's a meme they still have to do it just in case. They don't really have a choice.
I have the mosaic of all the comment banners somewhere

>>750177140Honestly anything before 2014 or 2016 at the very latest is the old Internet. That was the time period that a lot of older sites started shutting down and the Internet became more about monetization by corporations rather than forming communities around a topic and self-expression with no real thought about how it would pay out.
