If you want to check it out.

The population peaks at around 30k most days, but should the f2p poll be passed then i could easily see a rise up to 50 to 60k

EA Will Charge Players to Fill Their Tank With Gas in New Need For Speed Game
Because paying to fill up your tank with gas is so much fun in real life.

EA, the company behind the much-maligned mobile game Dungeon Keeper which saw players being pilfered of their money in order to progress, is dipping its toes back in the murky water once again with iOS and Android game Need For Speed: No Limits, which requests that players fill up the tank of their vehicle with gas if they want to keep racing, or else they’ll have to wait an extended period of time in order to do so.

This wait to play method has been employed by many different mobile game developers, though Dungeon Keeper was undoubtedly the worst example of the business model ever employed. But that hasn’t stopped EA from going down that route once again.

Though the Android version of the game is set to release at some point in spring, the iOS version has been released in a handful of regions and people are already complaining about it. That’s not surprising given that one of the largest real-world nuisances is forking out ever-increasing amounts of money for gas, something which EA has deemed acceptable to implement in a game about racing virtual cars in a virtual world.

Here’s a wait time of 1 minute and 25 seconds, which can be fast-tracked by purchasing 3 gold bars.

Placing limitations in a game titled No Limits feels like an almost intentionally annoying act on behalf of EA, as does employing a wait to pay business model in a Need For Speed game. While this is a money-making method utilized by a whole bunch of mobile games from Clash of Clans through to FarmVille (that still doesn’t make it much fun), Dungeon Keeper naturally has consumers expecting the worse when it comes to No Limits.

Need For Speed: No Limits will also feature multiple currencies, with some being earned organically while gold needs to be purchased with real-life money. Judging by screenshots from the game, gas can only be filled up using gold, naturally.

300 real-world dollars for 290 imaginary pieces of gold? NFS: No Limits doesn’t have a very good exchange rate.

Mobile gaming continues to be on the rise, but with great popularity comes not-so-great anti-player business models. I’ll never be a fan of wait to play games, particularly when they’re in the hands of EA.

Gotta love micro transactions .

Buying Rune Scimi 32k

Ah fuck that nostalgia

I taught EG, sydcro & Heiny a lesson or two in Mariokart and Goldeneye on N64 last night :cool:

I remember all the rage about PHats and drop parties.

Having to level all those fucking skills/talents.

Getting that fucking whip.

Fun times.

-PB

Yep. I was heaps into Runescape too. I think I got to combat level 74 haha. Took many hours. Grinding mining, crafting, etc. Cooking ffs :lol:

That damn dragon shield quest.

Mariokart on N64 was quality

Personally enjoyed Diddy Kong Racing back in the day.

Peach can go EAD.

I'll never forget the feeling when I finally beat that fxxxing dragon :lol:

I'll also never forget how at school I used to just never broadcast the fact I played, until I walked past a few mates who were talking about a Rune Full Helm and I freaking lost it, and had to casually listen in and confirm they were talking about Runescape before I was like "omfg I play this let's be friends online omfg!!!@!@!@!" :lol:

I'm as deadly with that golden gun (whenever I can get my fucking hands on the thing!) as former US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is with a sniper rifle. =d> =d> =d>

Mario Kart was wonderful. Brought back them nostalgic memories. Doing doughies on the Castle front step, and in random places. #justmariokartthings. the 4-way battles were simply amazing on levels Alex Lloyd couldn't imagine.

Not knowing who the bloody hell was winning the race til the last straight on the last lap on Yoshi Valley, falling off the edge of that tight chicane on Banshee Broadwalk #justmariokartthings

We all knew I was winning the race, by quite a distance #justsayin

Aight scotty, to continue our zelda story from wfmb..

Got the biggorons sword and beat the shadow temple. Life is a synch with that sword!! Got my 4 bottles too. Can't exactly the remember the trick to make it 5 bottles :(

Since some people are playing Oot I decided to start a new game of The legend of zelda a Link to the past, loving it so far.

(never played it before)

thats a nice looking city, what game is it?

Cities Skylines?

Seen it hyped everywhere, not sure of the appeal :lol:

Yep.

It's a fun city builder. Like what the sim city reboot should have been.

Battle sith bongo bongo snagged me but I got there. Will start the spirit temple tomorrow

Battlefield is where it's at man!

Saw a Spuyro video today, #nostalgiaaaaaaaaaaa.

Interesting! I found him one of the easier bosses - almost identical to queen gohma in the deku tree.

Hoping i can get around to spirit temple tomorrow!

Im now working my way through gannons castle

Don't forget the FF after you get the Gold Gauntlets.

-PB

Mrs Scotty drags me out to the shops the spilt second before I open the door to fight gannondorf. I should have it all wrapped up tonight

Dem white outlined hearts :cool:

Up to 185k!
\:d/

Go to a pond/grotto in the ground that has a fish in a puddle (easiest place is Karkariko behind the potion shop).

Stand in the puddle and go to collect the fish but pause right before the bottle hits the water, swap the bottle for your check for the big goron sword.

Will permanently overwrite the check with the 5th bottle. Only accessible as an adult though.
