    Is the only way to start in the business from the ground up? Do regular IT developers, architects, etc. change industry to the gaming industry? For example, I would imagine that a MMO would require the services of a Oracle architectual DBA in the same way as a financial application like SAP. Do...

    On a separate note, to lose weight for the season just do Nutrisystems for 2-3 months. It is like magic. The food tastes like shit but it works like a charm. Dan Marino did it also.

    The issue is not PvE vs. PvP but "freedom". VG was on the right track when they tried to market "freedom". Freedom to PvE, PvP, solo, group, craft, not craft, sit in a tavern and chat, adventure, not adventure, etc. The percentage of PvP Players in WoW is irrelevant, the fact that WoW has the...

    Damn, this is exactly how I feel about WoW now. You are my brother from another mother.

    Well said Old Man. Tabula Rasa, WoW, and PoTBS and most of the newer games are well done but lack that community feeling of EQ1. The old fashioned "camping" was a nice thing. Not camping to wait for a MOB to spawn but camping and just mindlessly killing stuff. There was no need for all these "Go...

    As the father of two young boys, I care about convenience. I don"t care what mechanism you use to create that convenience. On the other hand, I do like the idea of exploring a virtual game world but I am a Gamer first not a virtual Tourist. While I am playing, I may need to go change poopy at...

    Keep it that way. Less is more. From what I can tell the Flying Labs Software guys did this and it has worked, at least on me. I had no intention of playing PoTBS and did not follow it at all. It really did not make much noise until recently. When I was introduced to it during the first stress...

    Price tag = $60 million. This will be as big hype-wise as WAR and AoC are now.

    The problem the Developer has is determining what looks good. I really like the EQ2 Avatars, however someone else may not. I don"t like the WoW Avatars, but obviously many people do. Debating how good a character looks is the same as debating who looks better; Ginger or Mary Ann?

    They should be ok as long as they stop using the word "Vision" now! Never, ever use that word again. Also, define your target audience. "Core" does not cut it.
