I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately that will probably not occur.

Worst case scenario is that I just say fuck it and finally commit hard to eve. The best mmo on the market ATM.

People need to have reasonable expectations. Not because the game is gonna suck, but because high hopes only lead to let downs no matter how good the game is.

The ogre arguement needs to stop. It definitely looks like they are going with a pre-curse ogre, which is awesome. Because its different.

I saw that recording earlier today. It was great. I have said this to multiple friends today.... If the game you are playing cannot incite this much rage, then you are playing the wrong game. If we could get a fantasy game with the competitive mentality of EvE, the world would be a better place.

Yep. This.

When it come to armor and weapons, simplicity is key for me. I really don't want be a warrior wielding a sword 5x my size.

Cannot detect sarcasm... or?

Yep. Shit like that is awesome. Have you seen what EQ has done to weapon models? blade of carnage looks like shit compared to what it used to. very sad days.

That video is at least a year old.

Yep, that video is old. and you say it looks cool? idk. I am not a big fan of shoulder width being 4-5x waist. Edit: The video also reminded me of NPC weapons. I would love to see NPCs not carrying weapons if they are not going to drop weapons/using the weapon they are going to drop. That...

As I have said in some post many pages ago. I have low expectations for EQN. I completely understand that the ultimate goal is max profit. I am not telling you what EQN is going to be. I have no clue how EQN is going to be run. I do know know if there will be a cash shop and if there is, I do...

They can make enough money off F2P games that don't take near as much to develop. They are taking a "risk" with EQN and expecting it to last as long as EQ1 and EQ2 which means it'll need core gamers that wont hop ship after 6 months.

The current debate boils down to people not accepting that the are a large group of people who consider an MMO a "full time" hobby (meaning they go to work, then come home and play the game, rinse repeat) over a casual game (they play 2-4 days a week) If you look at the current promo Sony is...

Yeah I never want MMO's to ever be able to be compared to Nascar.

K. Let's look at it another way. How is an XP potion different than being able to buy pve gear while leveling? PVE will make your character strong enough to kill more shit per hour which increases XP gain per hour. Pretty much the same thing. There are multiple different ways to look at it. No...

I believe a better point is that the leveling process should be fun enough where you do want to rush through it as fast as possible. An ideal MMO should not need XP potions.

Yes because only 5k people play'ed/still play EQ.

I'll say it is, you'll say it isn't. Have fun.

Want to believe what? That a game will be created to cater to people who want to pay money to play a game the way they want to play it? Go play in the road rere.

Too general. I consider myself a hardcore raider but I fully believe that the leveling process is what should separate the men from the boys.

On one hand if you create a game where leveling is a relevant part of the game (EQ1). Then XP potions aren't needed. The problem is that so many games lately (wow+clones) are designed to allow even the most remedial among society be able to succeed in achieving max level in a reasonable...

Le sigh. WTB spelling PST. Look at it this way grim. There are different types of "gamers". Some look at MMOs the same as some single player game that they play casually and have no real care about it. XP potions are developed for them. They want to play casually, but they also want to be the...

That's your debate? What is your reasoning for thinking EQN will have XP potions on release? fucking carebares...

The difference is someone who puts in effort to level can be matched by someone who puts in half the effort and 10 bucks. It's infuriating. Furthermore, what happens when that person who has the time to put in more effort also buys the XP potion? The problem is that it becomes a "must have" to...

I just threw up in my mouth a little. Item progression in EQ was far superior than item progression in wow. Wow threw loot at you at every turn to the point where you did not have any emotional connection to you gear.

Apparently my reading comprehension skills are unable to decipher the intention of your posts. Before I go on trying, which of the two groups in my previous post do you belong. Initially my thought that you were part of the former, but now possibly the latter?

What kind of mindset is that? How is that the game disallowing a player to not have loot experience? That is the player disallowing himself by not participating enough in the persistent world. There is a known fundamental difference in opinion for MMO's. Some people think MMO's should be the...

Uh, clarify? Edit: Generally speaking that's a person to person thing. I personally work harder when there is something that I want and do not have, while some people simply bitch and moan and feel entitled. Second edit: furthermore, what type of player will have the tendency to play your...

So the alternative is to just give you everything back as soon as you die? I think it is set in stone that old school corpse runs aren't coming back. So no matter how I feel about that is useless. The question is how do we still include this in the game without alienating the rere's who want...

I like the idea of getting your corpse back after a set amount of time. Look at the way phone games work (candycrack?). You get so many plays per day. You can either run back and get your corpse, or wait 3 hours for it to come to you. I like it. It also really helps for those late nights when...

Good analogy. I was trying so hard to find a better comparison than coke, and you guys delivered. Thanks, and I 100% agree. EQ is good whiskey while WOW is light beer...

Everquest will always be a huge name in the MMO market/history because without EQ, there would not be WOW (the "Coke" of MMO's). Do not entertain the thought that it is not a fundamental name in the industry.

Game company controlled forums for an MMO is not the way to go. They are forced to maintain good PR and CS. Privately created forums are much better. While I only played on Tunare, the Tunare EZboard allowed people to have no holds barred conversations. Battle lines between guilds and...

As with other aspects of life. There is a high tendency to value a reward that you earned rather than one that was given to you. Earning your characters level, gear, and notoriety will create stronger bonds between the players and their characters, the game world, and the game itself.

Neverwinter has player created dungeons and such, while its is a pretty cool concept for that game, it did nothing for immersion of the game world. It seemed to disconnect you from the story of the world.

ehhhh source?

I agree with the train flavor. But people qq far too much.

I also hate leashed mobs. Perhaps if they did not full reset when they decided to stop chasing you. If they simply stopped chasing and started walking back to their hub instead it may help. I don't care if people are able to train you, but should you be able to eventually pull a level 50 mob...
