Apparently there is a way to copy that dell XP cd over to your HD and edit a file or 2 and then it would work for any machine, even non dell. You still need a key, but apparently it does work.
@Tubatic: Honestly I don't know. If I did, i'd probably be making games. At the base they all seem to be about hitting that "feeder bar". Creates a senseless addiction to a game that really isn't that much fun, yet we can't seem to get away from them. I just think all of these recent MMO's are copies of each other.
I think MMO's are dead in general. No one is doing anything new and innovative that would make it worth while to play again. This is WOW with DAoC's PVP system.
