    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    This really is the "Rise of the Fallen." Not too long ago we had Mrs. God Bless Everything et al. and her virtuosic artwork. Now we have Brad preaching the Vision at two (2) gaming conferences. I wonder if we could somehow combine the J49 and Brad sagas into one blockbuster. I think the...

    The Saga Of Lucimia- Group Based MMO.

    Yeah, good luck with that. Convoluted much?

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Definitely this. The Pantheon saga really should be made into a miniseries. Probably the best forumquesting I've ever witnessed. I believe many of the newcomers are unaware of how batshit crazy this project became not too long ago. That it's even alive(tm) is a miracle from Jesus himself. If...

    Blunt Talk starring Patrick Stewart on Starz

    This show is great. The beginning of the first episode was pure gold. Not sure if I've ever laughed that much during the initial 10 minutes of a new show.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Amen. A major reason why I play these types of games is to get "lost" in the music I enjoy by virtue of the game's scenery. Also, "gamer" types tend not to have the best pragmatics and the variability in age among conversation partners can be jarring.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Yeah, I doubt (read: hope) the Devs would pursue such a foolish route. I agree death should be a deterrent and sting a bit, but losing possibly weeks of progress would make any sane person ditch Pantheon posthaste. Still, the groupthink over yonder is a bit strong for my tastes. Interested in...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Scary stuff on the Pantheon forums (I'm terrible for reading, I know). Some folks want a 25-50% XP penalty upon death--and, naturally, corpse runs--while also wanting the leveling process to require at least a year. With that kind of scheme, Brad and Co. surely will be selling boxes left and...

    Project Gorgon, round 2.

    Thanks for sharing this! Looks quite intriguing and I like what I've read on the KS page. I may have to check out the alpha.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm truly sad I've hit the inevitable wall of boredom. It was a good run, however. Hopefully my interest rekindles soon. I sure know WoW won't fill my MMO needs.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This really is a WoW greatest hits. Could be worse. I guess I'm just coming to terms with 11 years of WoW and the inability to stomach another serving in any form really. Underneath the fluff it's still the same paradigm, not that I should expect any deviation.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yawn. I think WoD is the final nail in the WoW coffin for me. I'm beyond tired of the lobby/raid paradigm; a re-skin isn't going to do it for me this time.

    The Saga Of Lucimia- Group Based MMO.

    That guy is perhaps the biggest blowhard I've ever come across. His association with any given project makes me want to stay away.

    Party finder BisEx is quite depressing. I can't imagine RavEx. End game content without a static is a dissatisfying proposition.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Basically. Quite enjoyable as an EQ/WoW vet myself. Nothing groundbreaking, but fairly polished. Crafting, job switching, music, and visuals in Heavensward are rather significant positives. Raiding, IMO, isn't as fun as it is in WoW. Playerbase, again IMO, is more friendly/mature than in WoW...

    Thanks for the recommendation. I knew of the pay providers, but I had no intention paying beyond the sub cost of the game.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Same. Super annoying as a healer in particular. "Sorry guys, I'm lagging." "Sure..." My recent fix is switching to tethered Internet via my cell when the lag hits. Works well but highly irritating to switch. I've read that having Fios is problematic, particularly on the West Coast.

    New Progression Server confirmed

    This is what ultimately swayed me away from Ragefire and why my next EQ experience will likely be the P99 "recycle" server if it happens. I really don't have a problem with boxing in general, but on a server such this--particularly at the outset--it kind of taints the experience IMO. Then again...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah, I'm sure YMMV applies. Just frustrating coming off of two consecutive "vote abandons" wherein vitriol was flung like poo in a monkey exhibit. And yeah, just like WoW, when you LFR matters i.e. just after the weekly reset. I suppose next week I need to get on the ball ASAP. Edit: Game is...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Wow. I thought LFR in WoW was a cesspool. FFXIV LFR is at least as bad. World of Darkness is, uh, painful to put it lightly.

    I should thank Daybreak, dissuading me from subbing. Although the entertainment value is indeed high. Dude is upset his hard-earned 7pp may be wiped. GG folks. P99 will have to suffice for that EQ itch.

    New Progression Server confirmed

    Yeah, this is my fear. I suppose it can't hurt to fire up a sub. Only thing really holding me back is that I just picked up FFXIV, and along with my WoW sub (well, ok, F2P), EQ will make 3 MMOs--a scary proposition and one my significant other may not enjoy. I've always wanted the ground-zero...

    Will there be a Rerolled guild or are most folks going their separate ways?

    New Progression Server confirmed

    Definitely considering as well since I never had a chance to play classic EQ outside of P99 after Kunark. What troubles me is the amount of boxing--though I completely understand the desire--and the availability of XP camps.

    Pantheon has--hands down--produced the most entertaining series of threads in MMO history. I almost feel obligated to donate.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Interested to hear the state of the game as there appears to be no comparable alternative. I completely wrote this off during the Sparkle era (wow that was something), but the new video looks decent and I'm in the midst of my quarterly nostalgia attack. Hopefully for my own sake nostalgia...
