Whisky helps.

your a fag. not that there is anything wrong with you're being a fag.

So Vanguard is going kaput July 31st? Lets call July 31st national brown day in its honor.

We'll probably need a new thread once we see a working prototype (if Brad is going to do this thing even if the Kickstart fails -as he has stated he would-). Or perhaps Alpha or Beta... years from now.

There are many MMO-server open source projects out there. The thing you'll run into is art asset quality and cost - but if its more of a MUD I guess you only need a competent UI. If you're aiming 2d/3d MMO - well that is another level of ass pain.

Now,nowI will donate. That looks badass.

Most of the knockback stuff didn't happen until later on, after I left, except for a few mobs that no one really farmed, like tunare in POG. I'm sure the raids from GoD on were more challenging for raid tanks, but from my whisky-ravaged memory being a good raid tank only required good gear, low...

So we get the Dark KnightandCaptain America? Damn this game is gonna rock!

It was fun to pull for a group or small raid as a warrior because you didn't have any tricks. Main tanking raid mobs in Velious, Luclin and Pop was stupid easy. The two major choices were: Defensive or Evasive (iirc, I only used evasive for Emperor Shreaaszzasnutz) and what program to watch on...

Jumpers hit it! Edit: seriously though, I was a warrior my whole eq career, and until the later expansions (I stopped after PoP) you didn't need to pay that much attention if you were the raid's main tank - which I was for Ashen Vendetta on Innoruuk for Kunark until I quit after Quarm. I...

The problem with a poor kickstarter, is that all the good will and articles on PC Gamer - people will click the link and see the Kickstarter page, and be underwhelmed. They won't donate and therefore won't spread the word. Crowd-funded expectations are higher and a little bit of research...

Once again:

Its ok to be passionate about wanting a game like EQ1 to be done today. This thread would not be so popular (initially) if that wasn't the case. We allwantto see a game like this get made. The problem is our last best hope just tripped after leaving the starting line because he didn't tie his...

Excellent point.

A personal attack would be calling you stupid. I have no idea if you are stupid or smart. I don't really care. Pointing out that you are shilling for a game that doesn't even have a design doc created is not a personal attack. It is a fact. Ask yourself why any sane person should give money...

The next logical step, after this Kickstarter fails, is for Brad to go on Shark Tank.

I wish we were still talking like we did back in the 1600's... it'd make the butt hurt in this thread sound downright Shakespeare-ian

Gender is a linguistic construct that has been hijacked by people who think it means internal or mental sex. Gender is nothing but language frame of reference, and some languages have numerous genders. Seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_(language) I get that some folks feel that they are...

Damn there are tons of posts. Was skimming over some earlier stuff about Unity / MMO etc. Unity wouldn't be used for the server code, or it sure as hell shouldn't be. Reading the Unity3d site's scripting information, I see that it isessentially built on top of Mono, an open source .NET...

If you are making a game for a small, targeted group - it shouldn't be hard to put together a targeted, tight and focused Kickstarter. This is a debacle because what we do see is a sloppy mess. This should represent the very best, focused ideas of the project in order to get people to donate...

Here is my take on the thread: Spies like us - the training - YouTube

I gave a few dollars for this game: Elite Dangerous

For all my criticisms, I would like to see a project of this type succeed. The problem is Brad's target audience is older and has a lower threshold for shenanigans. Assuage our many doubts Mr. McQuaid, and lay it all out. All of it. What do you actually have? We are not a crowd that will...

I've got this scene from the Right Stuff stuck in my head when thinking about supporting a Kickstarter.

Perhaps the devs that Brad has teamed with don't understand how to use the word "no" and phrases like "that idea is terrible". Brad is a bright guy with a good vision for games, but he needs to have some reality-minded hard heads around to balance him out. All speculation, of course, and...

I'm one that is against the design-by-committee way of doing things, but testing the temperature for things like class names wouldn't hurt. Dark Knight? Is the class bonus a utility belt with extra slots?

The constituency of former EQ players are all now much older, wiser (for the most part...) and less likely to be baffled by industry bullshit. We can see through it much easier. Sure, we'll get excited about the promise of a hardcore EQ like MMO from the guy who put out EQ - but once the rubber...

I've been on the fence for donating some money. But the more I see of this, it gets clearer that this Kickstarter should halt. Brad and co. should have only asked for 100k, to develop a solid design doc with input from the target community. Once this is done, they can ask for the big $$$...

If Brad & team have the passion and ambition and really believe in this thing, it will get done. They'll find a way. They'd be smart to use this kickstarter as a reality check. Pressure creates diamonds, and all that. If they don't have the fire in their bellies, then we're all better off...

Make cartography a craftable resource. The maps would have to be dynamic, perhaps tied to the cartographer's skill. If the world isn't completely static, updating the in-game craftable maps would offer a better social solution than simply visiting the Pantheon version of EQ Atlas. Always look...

Add group magic. Spells that require more than one caster. Certain travel spells, like to alternate planes (if they exist in the game), require a group of casters in a circle or something. Call them rituals or rain dances or whatever. Groups of druids can port you, the more druids, the higher...

Here is a great breakdown of last nights Eagles - Bears game in one gif: http://i.imgur.com/8dQuPAz.gif

They didn't clear the field at halftime because NFL rules state you can not modify the field during the game. Also, even if they could have, there would be nowhere to pile it without interfering with the sidelines or blocking the view for the crowd.

The Snow Bowl produced some really great photos.

If you want to add models to a zone, you'll need to edit the ZONENAME_chr.txt file. You can open any one of the zone's file and look at the format, very easy to change. So, if you want to get the Shissar models into, say, ToV - add this line and update the total count at the top of the file...

The weather was so bad last night we stayed in and some fun last night fighting off waves of zombies and skeletons. I've disabled the Halloween scripts but I'm planning on Christmas / New Years stuff to do late December. For those wanting to find a new EQ fix until the next big game comes...

The scripts are part of the optional SQL files in the PEQ database. The Halloween events enable hundreds of spawns, and I'm aware of these zones having special event creatures: East Commons Qeynos Hills Feerrott Rathe Mnts There are probably more zones than this, though. I've added a...

If you are totally bored and have an inkling for some halloween events, the server I've been tooling around with to learn Perl is now public and running the old style EQ Halloween events. You'll find it as "Innorruk Max Level 50 Server" in the eqemu server list. Website hosting files if...
