I think there"s a concept that needs to be added into this discussion on mana as a resource. Average combat time. For mana (as in WoW) to be a relevant resource to manage, then you have to actually run out of mana before the fight is over. Unfortunately, running out of mana in WoW effectively...

You know what? Fuck specific requests for such and such art style with this that and the other thing. Here"s what I want for artwork in a game. I want a cohesive art style. I don"t care if it"s so realistic I cut my eyeballs on the sword edges, or if it"s so cartoony that getting drunk makes...

Well I for one would be interested in seeing a little more variety, personally. No, don"t get rid of the "hot elf chicks" completely, but perhaps make one option amongst many. And I don"t mean just the player avatar, I mean the whole pile. Armorkini"s are nifty and all, but I"d rather they be...

Guess I"ll toss my opinions on the pile. First, +1 to wodin"s post. Poor mechanics have a nasty habit of biting you in the ass. I strongly reconsidered re-subbing to WoW when the nerf to illumination went through, bringing it down from max 100% manacost reduced to max 60% manacost reduced. It...

No, you"re too late for that. This is the MMO community and you"re actively making noise, albeit quietly. You"ve got fans, probably some skeptics, the whole lot. There"s too much discontent around with the various released games and their respective companies. You"re new, and you haven"t fucked...

Eve does and it doesn"t, Kaxmax. There"s not any strict definitions like you might find in D&D derivative RPGs. However there"s very much different gear selection and abilities. Ship loadouts sort of become classes of a sort. The close-range MWDing blaster ship might be analogous to a rogue in a...

Biggest mistake I can see in regards to Vanguard is over-reaching, and trying to create too large of a world with too small of a team in too short of time. Whether you want to blame Sony/MS for pushing Vanguard out too soon, or McQuaid for biting off too much, well, I"m far too removed to speak...

Just curious, from a game design standpoint. I understand that"s not really your strength, and your expertise likely comes from your already developed skills with team management and such. But all the same, especially considering your comment about design meetings, I cannot imagine you have been...

Dear god D&D is a horrible structure for an MMO. Many of the scaling and design issues that WoW has had for characters come from D&D. GMG, who I consider to be one of the few upcoming MMO"s who could be a "WoW killer" would be greatly depressing to me if it built a D&D based game.

Just curious, what don"t you like about PvP? Anything specific? Are there other genres of computer game pvp that you"ve played?

On the subject of creativity, and innovative games. To Ngruk: If you want to make a great MMORPG that will interest me, do one thing. Take a second and analyze Dungeons and Dragons, from a game design perspective. Look at it"s history, where it came from, and how it"s built. Take a...

I"m not sure i"d say CCP is the "best." EVE has it"s share of problems. But CCP certainly seems like the most passionate, and perhaps most willing to take risks.

Well, what you"re saying certainly sounds interesting. I agree with a lot of what you"ve said, like the hype control, and such. I don"t have experience with company management and all the personel interactions, but what you"re saying sure sounds good. But, for the love of all that is holy, IF...
