The 15 new characters we get are mixed, some good, most bad. Pit and Pokemon Trainer are great additions, but Snake is mostly unplayable.

For my first post in probably around a year, going to have to say I agree a good amount with what you've said. It's pretty much just melee with a worse announcer and a few new additions, with some good and some not so good.

However, then I unlocked Snake. It's easy to forget just how magical these games are. Within a couple of minutes of unlocking him I'd remembered why I loved this series so much and just how original it can be. Unplayable you say? Funny because I found him so different from every other fighting game character I've ever played that I instantly fell in love with his playstyle. And I've been a fighting game fan since SFII dominated the arcades in the early 90's...hell I should probably just say I actually used to go to arcades heheh.

Bottom line: It's not as shocking as melee was when you first played it, or even the original smash bros...but it has just as much heart.

Congratulations!

First and foremost I wanna say I think you've made a good decision on the guitar you're looking at, you can't go wrong with a good Fender. My first guitar was a Squier wannabe Strat...and I'd wished I'd just bought a standard Strat then instead of having to suffer on that pile of shit. But just to be sure I recommend going to a music store such as a Guitar Center just to check out all the different types of guitars in your price range. The feels and tones available are very different, so just go with what you like. As for amps it really depends on how much money you can spend and what kind of sounds you want...so you gotta find out what you like.

...And when it comes to actual playing...make sure you get down the proper picking form! If you don't it will plague you every time you pick up the instrument...that's really the most important piece of advice I can give you as one guitarist to another.

Admittedly, I didn't check out this private server, but it probably doesn't have any events to speak of or even any quests. It's probably a mindless grind-fest like all the other RO private servers out there. Several years ago I used to play RO...it had some good ideas...but when there's nothing to do in the game but grind monsters, it gets old after a month or two.
Comparing it to WoW is laughable because the world in WoW is so huge and filled with stuff to do outside of grinding; it's totally possible to never grind monsters through your entire leveling experience if you so choose to.

Currently playing entirely too much World of Warcraft (actually trying to cut back), and embracing the greatness of the Mega Man X Collection. Beat Mega Man X last week, at the last few levels of X2 right now...damn I miss these games. 8)
