What side are you on, I'm on Marienburg right now, but... I'm only level 2 so prolly gonna switch. NVM Matt, used WAR character search. :)

Anyone else playing this game? If so what server you on, what side, names ect. We could make a Hak5 guild, it would be epic. I'll edit with the server I join and the rest of applicable details, patching the fresh install just now.

I don't think who will host them is an issue with services such as TinyPic available?

as it is mine ;)

This is some great advice as I have been wondering if I should go back to school.

I don't have any examples of what I tend to get really frustrated with because, I never really bookmark those places. However, the coding challenges might be a good thing to participate in, because I do have a lot of rust to shake off. Anyways, thanks for the response! Maybe its just that I see advanced users and I wonder why I am not already advanced, like it should have just happened or something, lame, I know.

So everyone, let me set up my question a little. Back in high school, couple of years ago. I was very big into programming, they had classes but I was always ahead of the class because of its slow paced teaching style and general noobiness, not only of the class, but of the teacher. Back in those days, I was interested in every thing from writing little programs to make my day better, but also more hackign type stuff, like how to hack and all that crapola. So cause of all this, I know alot of web stuff: (X)HTML, CSS, JS, all that crapola. As well as knowing and haveing about 2 years experience writing general programs in VB, C++, and Java. Anyways, after watching some Hak5, I feel this inspiration to get back into programming hardcore (kinda fell away into a more general advanced user type of feel going on, hope that makes sense). Also, I am especially interested in the darker ways of it all, but everywhere I read they suggest using a language I don't know, which is fine, I'll learn. But the actual content, and the concepts of everything they show is overwhelmingly complex for me. I don't know if I'm stupid or if there is some type of steep ass learning curve that I just can't get past. So what I am looking for, if you all could be so kind is: Some general information, your past experiences, where to go for a kind of buffer between where my skillset is and how to get into that higher stuff that is above me. And, I don't mean for hacking stuff, I mean that could be cool and all, but i really just want to program big things, and I feel that concepts of doing things like this, is above me right now. I don't know, I hope this isn't stupid, and would welcome all input. kthxbye

I pirated this game so I didn't have to worry about DRM. However, I have played it to the Space Stage, and have it all rigged up to be uber rich. Yadda yadda to the point: There is truly not winning this game. Even when you get to the center of the galaxy, its almost like... who cares about the item you get...? You can already do everything that item gives you, and you go through so many resources getting through the Grox, that you'd have better off just started trying to have every single world inhabited by your species. The game is fun, and can be challenging on Hard, however, it lacks in a good story, good controls, and a conclusion. Fuck Spore.

Yay! I think I may have started something?

Thank you very much! Also, got it added to the wiki, but found that I did not need to create an account.

Sounds good, I'll get on it, thanks for replying quickly Snubs.

Yea, so... I am unsure of how to edit the wiki, so if you would do that for me please anyone? And, add this for me, I'd be grateful, but really just wanted to share this BG i made, its very simple, but at the same time it is very clean. So here you go:
