I dunno, if the police caught my daughter bumping uglies with two guys at the same time, I'd be upset. I'm not surprised he slapped her.

In America there are people who fail a dozen times before they finally hit it big. Macys, the guy who invented the Xerox copier come to mind. Ozzy Ozborn.

Hart and Rust are still working together 17 years later, they faked their breakup to throw off the powerful group of Satanists.

There have to be a few EQ players that hit it big during the tech bubble in the late 90's. Stock options or CIOs of large companies to who $100k is chump change.

What do the critics of this game want? For us not to play? Everyone on these forums is highly likely to try out these games. Why? Not because they are shills, it's because they like MMOs. And nowadays with open betas and games going f2p, it's not like you are going to spend much money on...

Two million at $15 a month is a lot of money. I say they'll go f2p when they hit 200k, but by then World of Warcraft II, Wrath of Gamon will be out.

That bump in sub numbers really drives WoW haters up the wall. They can't lie, the FEC would arrest them. I think the bump is due in part to the weather, MMOs being a winter thing and there being a lack of alternatives.

Sounds about right.

It's a good show for what it is. Not like I'm going to write an essay on it for college credit.

Okay, the dungeon run in the youtube video looked pretty fun. I'll probably try both this and ESO but I probably won't log in again after I hit max. We'll see.

This doesn't make sense. Are we talking the LFR Garrosh? LFR is the tourist area where tourists go to get a vague idea of what real raiding is like.

I enjoy reading some of these posts. Very good. I've been thinking about sites like wowhead and zam lately and how they've removed lots of the difficulty from MMOs. EQ was hard at the beginning because there was no information. Soon after EQ launched we got maps and all on the web. I...

I think a lot of people are hoping for EQ1 but with new graphics and new content.

It's a ghetto version of Skyrim.

eq2 at the moment. bronze membership so i can't chat or use the broker, and all my spells are gimped but it's free. i've tried eq2 several times over the years but at some point i find it tedious and leave. this time i want to make it to max level. sony has attempted to reduce the...

double post

What a lot of us are still looking for is a game that will recreate the pen and paper D&D experience.

Yah, it's a little slow but it's one of two that I'm still watching. Log Horizon and Kill la Kill.

There were hundreds of posts on the forums saying how the world was dead and you never saw anybody while leveling. Never mind that the game is years old and everyone is at max level. So Blizz fixed it.

I would first macro all my abilities so that I would have 1 or 2 keys to press. Then I would use a mouse macro to auto repeat those keys on a toggle. Then I would ask myself, why am I even playing? Then I would quit. I've gone through this cycle at least 3 times since the game released.

I have mixed feelings about Timeless Isle. When you arrive as a noob you're in greens and the mobs there are very difficult. And especially so if you are used to what passes for leveling up these days. As you get more and more gear the mobs get lots easier. But a skilled player in greens...

WoW is combining servers. You can have two characters on two different servers, once they are combine both characters can join the same guild, etc. One day soon, servers will be a thing of the past.

Cormac MacArthy and Blood Meridian for horror. Larry McMurtry and Lonesome Dove. There's a whole series based around the Lonesome Dove book. I know most here read SF or fantasy, but I think you'll like this as well. And it won the Pulitzer. For example, the US Army shows up and says they...

Lot's of people raid with the default UI these days. The default UI is much improved in the last 9 years. I use weakauras to show me when something is off cooldown, bartender4 to organize and place my action bars, and tidyplates to show mob health. I use moused over macros to cast spells...

They joined two realms and just this last Tuesday they joined two more. They are moving slowly. I'm curious to see if they are going to make mega realms or something short of that. I would think that if you put too many people on a server you'd have players getting in each other's way.

I just went through my MMOs that I play every couple of years, Lord of the Rings, Rift, EQ2, etc. All free to play now and except for LotRs all of them allow pretty much unrestricted access. Thing is, I can't play any of these games for more than a month or two before getting bored. So I'm...

Didn't they just remove the RMAH?

Warhammer Online, the first game where I bought into the hype.

WoW has an interesting experiment going on on Timeless Isle. There's the normal two factions, Horde and Alliance and now you can swap to a third faction. We had a 40 man raid all made up of the third faction and it was a blast running around and slaughtering everyone, pvp server. The DAoC...

I got my engineer up to max level, quit the game and have no urge to return. I was worth the money though. I don't feel cheated.

Dark Souls is a difficult game and it was launched at a time when single player games had become very easy. It has seen a lot of success so I think that a difficult MMO might have success too.

I think EQ1 was a DIKU MUD with a 3D graphical UI. Other than the graphics, it retained a lot of the MUD mechanics, corpse crawls, leveling up skills, etc. That said, MMO's have been moving away from MUDs more and more over the last ten years. When WoW started, you had to level up your...

Went over to look at the WoW forum and saw this post abouthow difficult things were in the beginning of the game. Some WoW players agree with Dumar while others say it's just nostalgia. Sound familiar?

Players didn't like BRD because it took too long. Scarlet Monastery, on the other hand, was popular, each of it's 3 instances could be ran in an hour or so. Blizz just gave the players what they wanted. Maraudon in Desolace was another huge instance. It was hard to get groups for BRD or...

I'll bite your troll. 9 hours straight for Black Rock Depths alone. Then there was upper Black Rock Spire and the Raid Molten Core. All in the same area.

Sub numbers drop in the summer because many players do outdoor stuff during the warmer months. That said, my guess is MMOs peaked a while back. First person shooters have taken a large chunk of the audience and games like LoL and Diablo have taken another chunk. This will mean that MMOs...

I hate to be a cynic but my hunch is some clever players will find some way to exploit the shit out of the AI and Sony will lobotomize it.

When you resub, there's always a lot to do. You have to learn new things, odds are they changed the talent system. It's a lot of stuff. MMOs are aware of this and usuallyset up a 'gearing up path'.

This is a sandbox. We've all used one. No rules except for physics. All content is user created. EQ Landmark is a sandbox.

The new Garrosh model looks good.
