		<description>Let me tell you who&#039;s behind it...

It&#039;s one of the IT giants in China. Oakpacific, who owns:
mop.com, one of the best community in China
renren.com, one of the best SNSes in China, similar to fb
donews.com, one of the best IT news site in China, similar to techcrunch
and etc...

it&#039;s not related with any gold farmers at all. what would you like to say then?

if players choose to stay in a game like this, that means they really like it. Marketing is just a method to make more ppl know its existance... why don&#039;t you blame Apple when you are watching their ads about the stupid Ipad? because it&#039;s not from China. right? haha

focusing only on ads, gold farmers or China itself can&#039;t make it even a tiny little better for the western world to even dalay a little the steps of Chinese companies expansion....

what western game developers or publishers should do is to spend as much as those Chinese companies on marketing, lower the cost on developing games, improve game quality, and offer better service... or, the whole online entertainment market over the world will be taken by China soon, just as what you are seeing...

Only loosers choose to hide here blaming on non-related things and wailing uselessly...

One last thing is, this game certainly is published in the name of an US company. It pays tax to US government. Since Chinese government won&#039;t get even a penny from this game, why don&#039;t you blame US, a beneficiary of this game. haha

Stop masturbating mentally here!  That doesn&#039;t help at all. 

Oh, I forgot to say.... I&#039;m a Chinese. haha, u suckers...</description>

		<description>There are various differences between Empire Craft and the other MMOs mentioned in the article -- all of them showing Empire Craft in a poor light. Passing over game play issues and the English that&#039;s so poor that it&#039;s often impossible to work out how to play, you should check Empire Craft&#039;s forums, and look at the stream of people who paid  money for &quot;Diamonds&quot;, tried to use the Diamonds, and didn&#039;t get the in-game goods they were promised. Then look at the way those people are treated by the Forum mods.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m in Empire Craft, it&#039;s like stratego in medievil times, I paid $10 to get a jump start, that was dumb. later in the game I was destroyed by someone with 10x my power level. That fool must have spent good money to get where he was, now I&#039;m a monthly target for him to level up even higher. The game is for rich turbo nerds.</description>

		<description>Might I remind some of you that WoW is mostly considered the biggest rip-off in mmo history, with the record for gold-farming bots.  WoW is like a DJ of myth... and one that can&#039;t keep the songs in key.  they&#039;re ripping off mythos and artists from other ages, not other games.

Btw... where are all the good, safe MMORTS to replace this garbage?  I would love to find some safe games that I can play while MMORPGing.  &gt;:D</description>

		<description>Ha, ha. Ad still there. When I&#039;m bored, I play Empire Craft on server four, but I&#039;ll never yield them a dime. It&#039;s such a rip-off. And I admit their ubiquitous ads are annoying as hell, but at least they haven&#039;t resorted to half-naked women like Evony. I mean, I was expecting half-naked women, not a ridiculously boring MMO, lol. Their characters are apparently WoW rips, so in the design contest, I was going to provide to them something more original. I don&#039;t even know what they did with the submissions, but that&#039;s okay because I was too late. You know what, speaking of rips, what about WoW? So what if it&#039;s cool, it digs ten feet into your finances. Then if you&#039;re institutionalized and you payed for however many months. You may as well die, but you&#039;re in the insanoplex and no one will let you. AHHH, nightmare in Hell.</description>
