I've never liked player housing in MMO's, I've always felt it was pointless fluff that appealed mostly to female gamers. But Guild keeps have potential, and depending on what rule set the server has they should offer varied benefits. Although, more than the benefits, a Guild Keep should...

Yeah, I enjoy questing, but that shit with 20 boars to kill after beating the biggest and worst the game had to offer was very strange. As for the running back and forth in the fed ex quests, well those are generally lazy time wasters. I always felt that quests should be a conscious choice...

The guy who just posted then, the one who seemed to like cake so much. Anyway, what did people think about what Salvatore said, about making your character feel like a hero in an MMO? Anyone actually ever felt heroic while playing a game, apart from in PVP.

I"d seen the centaur concept art before, been around a while I think. I dunno, I was expecting more from the panel, at least something on the IP or a proper name for the game. 50 minutes worth of video with nothing credible being said, it was like a democrat debate with Hilary and Obama, no one...

Wasn?t the revelation I was hoping for, now we know they have a nice big office space, and quite a few of them like cake. Did anyone get anything else out of that presentation, apart from McFarlane doing a good Tim Westwood impression? Might be really wrong here, but didn?t Rich Gallup used...

Wow, that rant was justembarrassing. And to all the kids out there that have just read that, the answer was a) drugs. Just say "No" people.

Yes, it shows you were their focus is at the moment, but when wow was first launched the pvp market wasn"t as prominent. So for back then, that was the right thing to do. Stats can be thrown around to prove anything, your own eyes can see how much practically everyone is enjoying the pvp...

Is it even possible to do both in equal measure successfully for an MMO launch? WoW released with pve, and then threw money at pvp until it got up to speed. Even a big time super hero MMO had to go one way at the expense of the other to begin with. Can"t really see -even with such high...

Your tournament characters would be set on a different server, only for events. Status and prestige points would be transferred over to your main character so you can buy equipment, titles, or whatever. You would still be able to pvp, and practise team work etc with that toon on the normal...

PVP is the money, with a hint of pve raid encounters for a nice relaxing break. The game that can make it so damn cool for everyone to watch tournament battles from live pvp feeds will take it all. The other company is already walking down that path, but I still reckon it's up for grabs...

Yes, there are only five stories. Everything else is just a variation on those five basic tramlines, the devil is in the details, etc. Sounds about right, doesn"t mean they didn"t start out with the fun and polished mantra. It?s only when they find out how hard it is to actually make a fun game...

Keep fighting the good fight Rayne. NO to terror, and YES to Science Fiction! ?Fun & Polish?? Think anyone developing the last lot of MMO?s doesn?t know this little gem of wisdom? Not an attack on anyone in particular, it just keeps getting said as if it was some kind of revelation on the...

Good interview, the really nice part was theALSAawareness segment.

The argument against instancing is not good, you obviously played EQ, so you remember how much a pain in the ass Sebilis was. Or the god forsaken cock blocking that required you to log on at some ungodly hour just so your guild could advance to the next dungeon tier. That isn?t fun, nor is it a...

Apart from point 5 and 6 on your wish list, you"re basically typing the dynamics of EQ. To some extent, even 5 is almost the same as how AA points used to be (still are? been a while since I played). Is that what you?re after, a system of play that?s almost a decade old? Your first point...
