    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    We're not that hard to please. Tbh they probably could get rid of corpse runs, shrink the zones, and put in maps... and we'd still want to play it.

    I really don't think server costs are going to be as high as you guys think they are. Scaleable server tech allows them to only pay for as much oomph as they need, so if they end up only having 5,000 players, they'll only need to pay for servers that host 5,000 players.

    That's just a normal part of game development, man. There are a lot of issues that you just don't see until you bring in players, and even then, there's the matter of triage. If these bugs persist for long times, then I agree that's an issue, but I think it's reasonable to be more lenient during...

    They can absolutely make it work on that budget. It just means that they'll all be part time on the project or exclusively on profit-sharing plans while they continue to work their day jobs, which is essentially what they're doing now. From a business standpoint, that wouldn't be super...

    I don't hate the idea of fighting to escort people out of dungeons, but dungeons need to be designed with that in mind. Dungeons that are mega hallways are probably a no-go, instead they should have hub areas or shortcuts that allow people to get out of the dungeon in a reasonable amount of...

    There are gate potions in the game, but they're very expensive. The world - and individual zones, even - are too big for the locomotive options the players have access to at this point. I'm hoping mounts will really help,

    Vanilla WoW was just single player questing with a chatbox and the occasional dungeon.

    KATANAUT - 2D Sci-Fi Eldritch Horror Roguelike by a Forumbro

    Splattercat's play of the demo was huge for our wishlists. The game releases in less than an hour and we're super anxious to see which of the content creators we sent keys to will be streaming.

    If the cartography skill is convenient enough, I can see people engaging with it. It can take a lot of work to design an aesthetic, useful, and accurate map when you don't have access to the game development environment. If the cartography skill is convenient enough to allow you to uncover a map...

    Never, but I was speaking with regards to M&M, not classic EQ.

    ...well, that's the duality of man in action, I guess.

    That's so... inefficient. You only get 10 bank slots without bags, and a bag that gives you 6 slots for items of medium size or smaller costs only 1 silver and some copper. You can get 60 bank slots for a measly 15 silver, and by the time you find yourself needing more, you'll be able to easily...
