Man let me tell you something absolutely amazing about nc, I’d been having this horrible texture loading error (video driver [hp much hate]) and I sent them a message at 3:00 a.m. 15 minutes later they respond with a link to a new video driver. Wow! They are really on top of things. The same thing happened when I lost my exclusive pre order item (waves targe casually and tosses into trashcan) as you can see I got it back. . .

For each ‘henchman’, be they machine or human controlled, your share of gold decreases as it’s shared out evenly amongst those in your group. I’ve also notice that the drop rate of items is lower than if you were to solo it. Personally I like to compromise and just take a healer along for the ride.

You are correct, sir. No charge for henchmen that I’ve seen either, but you don’t get as much loot if they’re along … either because they engage or do the most damage to a mob, hell if I know. Just like my Master trainer, they kick some major butt.

Well-behaved group members, too.

The henchmen don’t seem to charge anything, maybe it’s just that as a level 7 noob I don’t have to pay or maybe it is low enough that I don’t notice the charge.

HENCHMEN?!?!? I don’t do henchmen. Mostly because I’m cheap as hell in virtual worlds, but it’s also a pride thing. It starts with hiring henchmen, next thing you know, I’m dancing in my underwear by the main gate shouting “CANT TOUCH THIS!”

Ya, message boards are a cesspit, but I wouldn’t be opposed to a strictly-moderated official forum. I’d bitch about it, of course, but I think it could work.

message boards are usually a pain in the ass, but that doesn’t mean that we want to do without them.
Personally i expect message boards with any game nowadays, i find them entertaining to be honest, and it’s definitly nice if you can find some official info now and then

Are you soloing? I have a sneaking suspicion that the mob’s level reflects the expectation that a full group will be going against it. I always grab a full party of henchmen before I leave town.

After seeing the WoW boards I really don’t blame companies for saying screw it. I have *never* seen a worse place to post. In fact, the internet bbs I call my “home” is pretty much a hate site and it’s still warmer than the WoW forums.

I’m not sure who I hate more, the whiners or the absolute losers who record a song tribute to “captian placeholder”.

Yes I have issues.
