    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This shit is too funny, some druid had a little problem: I can't do the Druid artifact quests because I'm hostile with the Cenarion Circle. Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem won't speak to me. Can you guys turn him into a neutral faction NPC please? I know this is karma for the hours spent murdering...

    How fast is leveling in legion generally? Will we see the first euro 110 even before US servers activate the expansion?

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I think one star-system is fine for now. When all game-systems work and are in at least a "late beta" state, then they can add the rest of the universe. A lot of assets (models/shaders/textures/sound/music) can be done in parallel anyway, so they should have a huge pile of it ready to be added...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    The Gc2016 demo was the first video that made me feel like the 250€ i spent in 2012(?) are maybe not a bad investment after all ;) Still the game has a looong way to go before it can be released, maybe beta by the end of 2017? Release 2018?

    RIFT

    The free boost will only be available once the expansion releases... If you want gear play the game, enough time until the expansion releases (rumor: middle of november) ;)

    RIFT

    You still use SLI? With the new cards (1080/1070) its practically never necessary any more (unless you have a 4K display and dont want to turn down some options). Anyway, at least the RIFT client is using a "true multicore" architecture since this spring. That made a hell of a positive...

    RIFT

    I always liked RIFTs art style. Reminds me a little bit of Stargate... anyway, for 40$ you will easily get your moneys worth out of the expansion as long as you like the basic game structure/systems of RIFT. The teaser site looks a lot like a WOW-expansion-site: RIFT: Starfall Prophecy You even...

    Starting WOW - looking for advice and info

    When you have an active sub you can also use the test server and try out different classes at lvl100. The best start with Legion coming end of August is probably the new Demon Hunter class. Begins at lvl98 with their own starter zone. Best intro to the game i guess. Demon hunter will be...

    Starting WOW - looking for advice and info

    When you buy Legion (next expansion) you get a lvl 100 boost for one char with the game. When the expansion is released you can try out the classes at level 100 before you have to commit your boost. So play around until then and try some classes at lvl100 when Legion is released. You can then...

    WarCraft (2016)

    Considering that non-US markets seem to be doing very good, with China being a huge success for them (about 50mil the first day alone), they will surely do at least 1 sequel. I get that they wanted to start the WoW-movies at *the beginning*, but Arthas/Lich King would have been a much better...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Didnt they add real open world zone instancing after WOD launch to spread people out? That alone should make the Legion launch a lot smoother. They could also finally do a server merge with this "mega-server-like-instancing-tech"... Edit: I hope leveling isnt so super easy and fast as in WOD...

    EQ Never

    Good lore certainly is a bonus, but how many people really are into it? How many skip quest text to level faster? And how many read the ingame books? Probably less than 0.1%? And nothing beats Warlords of Draenor for fucked up lore / reasons for an expansion

    Columbus Nova are financial investors, are they not? So technically Daybreak was on sale (for the right price) the minute CN bought them. I guess they based their buy mainly on H1Z1 being a hit and EQ:N being "the next big thing". EQN is dead now and the company much smaller, reputation is also...

    Conan Exiles

    Conan is a fantastic setting for a fantasy survival game. They should have started development as soon as the survival games market started to explode, or have they and it just took them this long? Anyway, they only setting as good as Conan would be AD&D Dark Sun, someone please make a Dark Sun...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Whatever you do Trion, please no more of: sandbox, survival, pvp, moba, esports, hardcore, online-shooter, online tcg... we got more than enough of those (released and in development) If you need money make a console port for Rift 1.5/2 (buy to play). If its any good you will make...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    I dont like revised old zones. They may be really good, but i cant help it, it always feels like i have already done the zone, not interested to do it again... Simply copy WOW again and do an expansion like Legion. Gear reset, big new continent, new story, new max lvl, level-scaling mechanics...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    The chance for Trion to build another "almost AAA-MMO" is probably 0%. Way to risky in the current extremely saturated market. Rift will get engine upgrades this year (true multi-core support and a 64bit client) to make the game run better. After that, a "relaunch" with a big expansion and...

    You know whats funny? All the talk about EQN cancellation got me to download EQ2 again after 3 years. Graphics engine is still awful but at least PCs are powerful enough today to run it at acceptable performance. Apart from that i really like it. I had a lot of old "station-cash" so i made a...

    EQ Never

    That name.. eqn-2010-1.jpg... just crazy! They had this running in 2010 and *6* years later they cancel everything. Has to be one of the worst game project mismanagements ever. I wonder if they still have all the old code, or if they deleted / "lost" everything. It still looks very good, they...

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

    Watched 30 mins of the stream and am positively surprised. State of the game atm is basic EQ with modern graphics. Which is a really good starting point. Combat/engine seem to work quite good which is also very important. The foundation is there, now they have to work on making Pantheon out of...

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

    I think its even worse right now. There are no other "old-school" MMOs with acceptable GFX (thats somewhat modern 3d, not weird pixel art stuff) coming out. And people want something like that badly. So everybody here will buy and play Brads game when it releases, many will even buy into Beta i...

    EQ Never

    Voxels or not, if the game is decent lots of people will play it. EQN is the only "AAA"-MMO in development i can think of. Sell it as buy-to-play with the usual ingame-shop and they can make a lot of money. Will it have staying power? Probably not, but they will make their money back for sure...

    So, EQ franchise is dead? EQN cancelled? Do EQ1&2 expansions as long as they earn at least a little money, then sunset everything? Really, what have all those people done the last 6-7 years? Great leadership, Smed...

    Hero's Song by John Smedley - ARPG/MMO Lite

    This KS was a totally useless. Why this KS if funding is already secured and the game will release no matter what? They could have done a useful KS if they had other goals. Do a KS for 100k to have more content/better art. After that, stretch goals to expand on this. Basically something like...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I guess Sept 21 is more for Activision finances division.. so they can savely plan the income for 2016q3. If they really get beta running around beginning of december, i guess june 2016 prepatch and july 2016 expansion release is realistic. July would then also be 2016q3, so ok for Activision.
