That makes me very happy to hear that there are some challenging aspects to the game whilst leveling up.

I actually thought the game was quite boring for me until around level 10ish. However, now that I'm 15, things are starting to pick up and I'm really starting to enjoy it. I think a lot had to do with the clusterfuck crowded areas and Pugilist is pretty much a very straightforward class to...

Tomorrow is the official release date. Everything else is just beta in my eyes

The question is whether you can consider "early access" the real launch date, or is it tomorrow? Early access is just a smart way of getting players to beta test and fix your launch before you actually do the real release. They also know that these are the type of players that will continue to...

I pre-ordered on Newegg and never got an early release code. SO last night I cancelled that pre-order and pre-ordered on Amazon instead. Got the early release code immediately. Plugged it into their web site a few times today (same issues as everyone else with the website), but it eventually...

I may be in the minority here but part of the attraction for me with the EQ combat system was seeing my character (rogue) get better at the things that happened automatically. Things like dual wield, double attack, dodge, spell fizzles, etc.. Something about that automation as your character...

Ok so just as another example......having no levels. NO vertical progression.......instead....horizontal progression from the start. I know Age of Wushu did something similar, but I don't know of anyone else. Bottom line is they are being very bold with many of their systems and boundaries...

The bottom line is the MMO genre has been in SERIOUS need of something other than the clones we've seen in the last 10 years (since WoW). Sometimes you have to step out beyond...way beyond what people are used to.....to create something truly unique and fantastic. Just as the Everquest team...

Is it me or does their destructible world idea seems like it only pertains to very specific objects/locations? After watching that gameplay video where the Golem opens a hole in the ground....that just seemed so scripted to happen in a certain area. Their EQ Landmark "asset builder" game...

The EQ Landmark "game" is going to give them some pretty incredible content to work with at a much faster rate than any development team could come up with. It's amazing/mind boggling some of the stuff people have built in Minecraft with much simpler tools. I'm pretty happy about the direction...

I think the ideas they have look absolutely amazing. I just hope the execution is good. As far as the art - I thought the worlds look excellent and I don't care for the cartoon look but it's not a deal breaker for me. Even then, I still think they looked pretty nice. The gameplay looks...

This game will do well. Very well. There are a few concerns, the loot wasn't very interesting to me (everyone wearing the same thing) and the quests were very treadmill. Having said that, it has feel to it that draws you in. I hope that remains throughout the game. That's my experience...

Wow this game is actually pretty good now. I was in the previous beta and it's like night and day. You want graphics? Check. Responsive gameplay? Check. I think the only bad thing I can say about it at this point is that the questing is very treadmill-like (kill X of Y). I haven't read...

Glad I saved the $60. Seems very shallow from what you guys have been saying.

Is this the so-called "MIRACLE patch" that people always mistakenly thought existed for every other MMO?

I'm not falling for this one. In 2 months, I'll be happy I saved the $60.

I posted this in the FFXIV thread but I feel like it applies even moreso here so I'm going to post it again. It's in regards to people arguing that you can't do it without having all the collect bear quests and basically filler quests: Why do you need filler quests? What is so important...

..I don't see how having multiple classes on the same character changes anything about it. You can still do the same exact thing I was describing without all the collect X and kill Y quests.

Why do you need filler quests? What is so important about having some mundane mini-task to collect/kill all the way to max level? Why do you feel you need that? I don't feel like it's necessary. I would rather have a single large quest that requires me to gear up, get stronger, craft...

Edit: Removed double post.

The solo-mode collection quest treadmill model is old and fatiguing to even think about at this point in the MMO genre after having done it SO much. I will not be buying anymore MMOs that force that upon its players. Developers just don't get it though it seems.

Anyone have more info on this game? I'd personally like to know what the combat is like.

Next best mmo will utilize first person and Oculus VR technology for a truly immersive experience.

Penny Arcade Report on the new FFXIV:http://penny-arcade.com/report/edito...-mmo-but-feels Just what I was fearing: bunch of collect 10 bear ass quests to max level. Someone please say it ain't so!

I hope they implemented the job system that FFXI had. Having a main and a subjob was just really cool.

Definitely want to hear your impressions as this seems like my only hope in the near future. Please don't suck please don't suck please don't suck.

FFXI controls were anything but perfect dude. No offense but out of all the MMOs I've played that one had the WORST controls. Everything else about it was somewhat decent.

What if group content was non-instanced and raid content (with no raid size cap) was a variation of non-instanced and instanced. I honestly feel like the answer is not black or white. It's somewhere in between like many people have said here. The question is how far up or down the spectrum do...

^ preach it brother. Any interaction is good interaction.

Well, that's what I'm wondering. I know for sure there were some websites that started up and I don't know how they were making all their money. One guy cashed out for a huge chunk of money, little gnome guy name started with a 'Y' I think. Wish I could remember.

Anyone have any details on what kind of activity chinese farmers were doing in EQ? I remember the 2-3 websites that sparked up during the EQ days but I'm not sure what exploits they were harnessing. I do remember hearing of a merchant in a zone somewhere that would buy some milk or something...

Valid points indeed and I can agree with some of them. However... Lguk all alone would be very boring to me I think. Get all the items and be done with it in 1-3 days? No thanks. Zero social interaction good or bad? Everyone gets their items and gets out? Everyone gets the same gear as...

If it's FFXI with better graphics and better controls/gameplay I'll probably buy it. Hoping to get a chance to beta test it beforehand though just to not waste $60.

Unfortunately that's the sad truth.

I'm of the opinion that if you want to play alone, then the MMORPG genre SHOULD not be for you. There are plenty of great single player/co-op RPGs out there for you to consume all alone or with your small group of friends just like you want.

Fuck it lets discuss instancing again! GOOOOOOOO AWAY INSTANCING!

God I hope this is good. I need something worthy of playing.

Will never happen again until we get away from raid size limits I miss that too. I wasn't in a top of the line guild though (which happened to be Fires of Heaven on my server). Instead I was in a guild called "Ring of Shadows" which was slightly above mediocre I would say. We enjoyed...

I don't mind nextgen consoles being in on MMOs in the future as long as they don't fuck up the control schemes. I hated FFXI's control scheme SO much as a PC user. Has this been done successfully yet? I don't want my turning speed to be capped at a certain speed if I'm using a mouse.

It would be a super interesting experiment to have no levels and just allow players to get stronger through items and spellbooks found throughout the world. Not sure what kind of complications would arise out of that though (haven't thought about it much)
