I have to disagree with holding out. I think so much happens the first few months of the game that a late adopter will never get to experience.

Just for an example. If you waited a few months to play Warhammer Online instead of at release you will find yourself doing pq’s by yourself, doing mostly pve instead of rvr because everyone is already past that stage.

Of course you have to deal with all the initial growing pains, but going to a game later on has no real advantages that I can see.

I agree! I went almost four weeks without reading another blog!

Hah! Or wait, that’s one I’d already seen and commented on. My point still holds though, so if you see anything great in the next few weeks don’t forget to link them. If enough of my blogging buddies do that, I’ll probably catch the really good posts.

Thank you thank you! I haven’t had time to do much (read: any) RSS-feed reading in the last 10 days or so, and every time I hit “Mark All as Read” I knew I’d be missing out on one or two great posts. That’s one of them. Yay!

See, linking people for other people who may already read those people isn’t as useless as people think!

That is a solid point. We do get kind of stuck having to purchase titles if we didn’t get a review copy. That is one of my weaknesses here on Epic Slant though. I don’t really do a ton of reviews at my expense or follow the news closely. That is also why I’m not an uber popular blogger ^_~

I like what I do though and I’m going to have to stick to my strategy of not early adopting. Especially lately. These games have been terrible.

Ty Ferrel I agree, early adoption is a losing strategy. Though bloggers often do it just so they can get more readers by blogging about something new. Readers should never do it. And I don’t unless I’ve done my homework on the game and found ti to be an exception to the rule. I’ve opted out of buying STO and a few others here until they pass the test of time.
