It was fantastic, it really was the next progression from Velious with that annoying LON stuck in the middle. Its reputation was destroyed by the initial bugs, then the backflagging, then the WOW hype and after that expansion and everyone bailed. (I retired LITERALLY when Quarm fell. Logged in...

Yea my memory may be off. I started drinking during raids with techno blasting in the background to get through the 10,481 backflagging raids so my memory isn't the greatest around that era.

See, I hear this a lot and its totally bunk. The POP flagging system was accessible toEVERYONE, but it wasn't handed over on a silver platter, yes,you did have to work for it. Effort was required. The game was what, four years old, and the majority of the player base was 65, so it only made...

Great post, couldn't agree more.

Fool me once...........I will wait until I see a near completed game.

I gotta admit, I'm VERY impressed thus far.

Gotta laugh at the $30 million dollar vaporware going tits up on the same day Brad PLAYS his game online. Gotta give him credit, he keeps getting knocked down, but stands right back up again.

With 300 cash shops and micro transactions thrown in for fun.

Wait a minute, beats out Cecil the Lion? That fucking lion was a year or more from death, who gives a flying fuck? It was 13 years old for fucks sake.

The more I learn about Smed the more I realize hes not a game lover, he's a paycheck lover. Maybe at one time he loved games, but the last 10 years or so it seems his entire visionT is based on what will make the most amount of money, and every goal is based on that. I may be wrong, but it sure...

Thanks for the info, however I couldn't disagree more. The whole "Disney" look was just fucking awful, terrible, horrible. It makes the entire game look as if they are marketing to 13 year old girls. It could have been the next EQ or WOW and I would have never touched it. Its a deal breaker.

Exactly. So fucking tired of these multimillionaires begging the gaming public for money when in most cases they could pull the money out of their account and only miss a few lunches or that 3rd vacation house in Miami. A million, that's it? I bet his severance from Sony/DB was 5x that much. Use...

Good to see my legacy lives on, was afraid people forgot about me. In all honestly, if the current Republican party is the definition of a "Republican", then count me out. I can't stand either party. Washington in an incestuous cesspool circle jerk and in the end Republican/Democrat it...

That's a little unfair. This is a small team with limited funding in the first year. You gotta temper your expectations a bit.
