THere is a fabulous grouping experience in WOW. Most people are just too self centered/interested in lewt, levels, etc, to actually take the time to do it. When given the choice, all these people that bitch about WOW being a solo game made the CHOICE to solo then continue to bitch about it to...

Performance was extremely poor even a few weeks ago and was highly dependent on what your hardware was. Then it became a matter of doing the tweaks a couple of weeks ago and most people were finding it hugely better. You also just bought a new puter.. It should run decent. The game a month...

The market has a lot more exposure due to WOW which is a good thing all around and should have created a larger player base that other companies can pull from. However, as Moorgard said, companies tend to screw up the execution of facets of their game and thusly can"t get subscribers to migrate...

I don"t see it surpassing the numbers from EQ2. If it was more complete or had a bit more time it might do better but it is shipping in an rough state and launch is damn near everything in these games. The genre is moving a bit from "you MUST group to do anything" to the "I have to have a...

It does seem like a lot of games come out with graphics based on what is technologically feasable rather than what is artistically pleasant. Graphical bells and whistles are all well and good as long as the art assets are there and that has been some of the issue with EQII and VG to this point...

Yeah, the build your game for the next gen hardware 2 years after release is a killer for a lot of folks. I know about 10-20 people that either couldn"t play EQII at all or after playing it a bit became so frustrated by how it ran they stopped playing. You end up building yourself right out...

Soo...have you tried the scifi learning curve from hell yet Ngruk?? It has sucked me in quite well so far.

I caught a bit of a special this weekend about online addictions...same ole same ole crap about transferring responsibility and creating victims. But one thing that stood out was a comment made by someone from EQ that they have had around 3 million people play EQ. Now, I am not sure that is...

Hah...me as well. All these threads have slowly invaded my consciousness and I have have to find out for myself ...why..why...WHY!!!!?!?!? And...after about 4hrs last night my inner geek awoke with joy to dash yet again to the puter this morning. Its fun so far with this ridiculously...

ahh...forgive my assumption.

He is talking about how most games are currently going with the "zone" as a box to be filled with precious things type of design. Each zone is its own creation, its own world, its alive!!! The point being is that it is the accepted path for game creation right now but not the only one. Its...

Idea creation, brainstorming, project path are all things to be layed out and cut and trimmed and polished and tweaked until you have a game plan to follow. Then tech says they can"t do something without doing something else new, then something conflicts with something else, then an issue you...

I will put away my dead horse stick after this as well sir. If a rich man looks around at his full larder and table and scoffs, "What food shortage??" Does that make the cries of the hungry a fallacy?

Yes and no to both. To not take advantage of those that have experience finalizing a product similar to what you are trying to produce puts you behind from the very start. There is also the old axiom from Ben Franklin - The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and...

Blaming a single person for a game wide change would have to be considered ignorant in 99.9% of all situations. I would no more blame Moorgard for the change than I would Hartmans office chair.However, having reservations about a person because of something they supported, endorsed, and spoke...

Ohh....and Happy Turkey Day!!! May the buttons be loosened and the pie flow like wine.

I don"t know that I was holding feet to the fire and looking for a MY pound of flesh. I merely said I wasn"t a fan due to a stance he took in the past. NG asked me why and I told him. Don"t ask if you don"t want an honest opinion. Like I said before, I truly hope he is the best thing since...

Well...what facts do you need other than he supported the monk nerf based partially on inside info from SOE to account for my non-fandom?? -shrug- Really didn"t think it was that "fact" intensive. :P

I understand completely, but I never said he was a jackass. I merely stated I wasn"t a fan since he supported the monk nerf. Its not based on him being an ass on forums, a specific post, or anything. It was based on the fact that he supported something that was untenable and very poorly...

It doesn"t mean Moorgard isn"t a great guy or doesn"t have great ideas and great capabilities at all. It just means I am from Missouri.

You asked me why I wasn"t a fan. You didn"t ask me to provide supporting evidence at trial Ngruk. Do I have to supply statisticly accurate and factual reasons for being a Red Sox or perhaps a Broncos fan as well? You asked a question and I answered. However, if you are requiring more, ummm...

Well...I wasn"t really a fan before. The not a fan comment is more along the lines of..."Yeah, I tried the sage and marmalade covered spam. Not a fan." He was one of the most visible monks because of Mobhunter yet he referenced the hours and hours of internal testing they did on monks and...

Haven"t been a fan of Moorgard since the monk nerf and his obvious blind spots. Blackguard seems a decent enough fellow for a pissy gnome.
