I treated you with respect and civility when you replied to my initial post where I linked my article. You didn't have enough class to reciprocate and extend a fellow video game dev some professional courtesy and instead replied with hostility. Of course, I expect this kind of treatment from the...

I didn't expect a tour. I just mentioned that guides used to be given a tour. I'm not going to waste my time replying to you anymore.

First off, you would never know that it was them doing a GM event. Second, most players in my experience loved live GM invasions. Did you take a poll on your server and ask the community if they like GM events? No, you probably didn't. So you don't know what you are talking about. When we ran...

I was on vacation in San Diego with my wife. One day we had some extra time. I always wanted to see where the SOE -- now DGB -- studio was. I had spent many years volunteering as a Senior Guide for SOE I stopped by, took a few pictures and left. Now I'm a "loon" for doing so. Got it. It must...

The devs should do those live events and dynamic quests in their free time. If they CARED they would. The original EQ Guide Program had hundreds of guides that spent thousands of hours answering petitions and running quests in their free time. We guides all had lives and jobs but somehow we...

Most AMA's are done on Reddit which is why I assumed it was done on Reddit. I fixed that, thanks! Writing about MMOs is a small hobby. I post occasionally but not every day. I don't make any money from it. I'm a good old-fashioned blogger. I don't stream on Twitch or have a YouTube channel. To...

Of course, devs don't have the time to play as much as hardcore players. However, that's not the question I asked. I asked them how much time do you play EQ each week. That's a simple and straightforward question. Let the EQ devs answer that question and let the chips fall where they may. And...

I just finished an article on the AMA over at my website and I gave you guys full credit. Thanks for doing the AMA! https://www.wolfsheadonline.com/ama-questions-i-would-have-asked-the-everquest-developers/

This is precisely what I advised them to do last year in myEverQuest 3: The Time is Nowarticle: EverQuest 3: The Time is Now | Wolfshead Online

You are 100% right! SOE was far too ambitious with EQ Next and Landmark was a disaster that failed to keep the interest of the MMORPG fans. The worst thing was they alienated all of the thousands of EQ veterans out there who really wanted an updated EQ not an EQ meets Minecraft. Now that Jeff...

One of the small things that bothered me about RIFT was that when mobs reached 10% of their health, they never ran in fear as they did in EverQuest and sometimes in WoW. When mobs flee and can bring back friends with them, it makes combat far more challenging and requires players to use snare...

Rob Pardo is the Ray "Billions Served" Kroc of the MMO world. He copied an almost unknown video game niche -- the MMORPG -- and made it accessible for the masses. To some, he's a hero for making the MMORPG genre profitable, for others he's a villain for transforming a hardcore, skill-based genre...

It's calledemergent gameplay. As another poster said, those things today would not be possible as player freedom is not allowed (tm) and yes all those things would be patched and fixed by today's breed of MMO devs. What a pathetic lot they are.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned here but both Brad and Salim came out pretty strongly against the idea of dynamic content in Pantheon in the recent Project 1999 video on YouTube. I believe dynamic content is the future of the MMORPG genre as it is far less costly to create and...

Is there a reason there is not a separateWarlords of Draenoror even aBlizzCon 2013thread? If EverQuest can have its own sub-forum, surely WoW can have one as well. Please, think of the children...
