You are madly stereotyping. I've have literally never heard anyone mention the Beatles in Liverpool in living memory. Tourists might think the Beatles but for people who live here that's ancient history. Where I live there is hardly a family that didn't lose someone or know someone who died...

Just not true that. I've lived and worked all over Europe and the Middle East. Liverpool and Newcastle are the two friendliest places to go in my experience, generally speaking, anywhere in the world. As a non local you can speak to anyone, be friendly, get along with, get help from most people...

It wouldn't even let me register them to my account as payment methods as I had my account set to US (to get $$ price) but my paypal and cc are UK based. I'll try again later. The problem is they've set the UK price to ?109 which equates to $190 Kills the main purpose of paypal for me if...

Won't let me pay in dollars because my paypal is based on a UK address as are my credit cards. 20% difference paying in UK? than US$ - ?89 if I pay in $$ ?109 if I pay in ?? Not happening Trion.

Holy shit, its got Bards. I'm in. Everyday Bard for 5-10man - Arche-Base

SWG was a good game, verging on great, with some brilliant systems, that was brought down by bugged technology and code, NGE eventually being the nail in the coffin. Vanguard had some really good classes. In this case it could have been a successful game but QA brought it down. As in there...

Kedge Keep soloed to 50 on my warrior before Kunark came out. Six lancers at the entrance, one at a time, then bandage to full wearing a Rubi BP to help out. Was some of the best XP in the game in vanilla if not the best. Kedge ZEM was 140 IIRC. Pretty sure I was the first Myrmidon (lvl 55) on...

It has some new ideas to get our heads around. It's a persistent online sand box world. Skill based characters. Zones will instance if it gets over say 100 players. Overland zones are presently (and this is up in the air undergoing testing) presented as a map kind of like the map on...

I wouldn't worry about this game. Scotts strengths are project management and delivering. Localization for an establisged game is playing it by the numbers for his skill set especially with Voss on board. She's an under appreciated asset who will come to have a major reputation in the industry...

This is not a good thing for the industry and for players. What it did was (eventually) put back the industry moving forward to more innovative and fun game play. I say eventually because in theory it's a good thing but, i) it became a crutch, and, ii) it ended up being a pinata with no risk v...

DaoC was largely PvP and released unitemized from lvl 20 up. The number of people who actually want to play a largely PvP game is far smaller than the vocal minority who champion it often claim.

I bought a load of cards for this in beta. I was under the impression when the game launched those would be wiped and we would get new packs to open ?

I think it's a good point that Brad held off releasing the KS for months to time it when it would see more funding. And did nothing in terms of development during that time to show on KS. Rerolled Concept art .... A chair!

One of the best Hitlers I've seen : I lived in Manchester for a few years when I worked for IBM. It's much worse than Liverpool. The original series of 'Shameless' which was remade in the US epitomises and was set in Manchester :

This is a straw man argument that was debunked years ago. The large majority of MMO players when polled about their preferred play styles said they liked to be able to spend 70%+ of their time alone whilst in MMOs. As we all know the majority of players even in EQ1 now play alone, boxing or...

Spot on. Smed will learn this the hard way.

I suspect 2-3 months before launch Firor and his head staff were extremely worried about how big a failure cascade this was going to be. They were very much 'saved by the bell' by the reception to the PvP side of things and switched their efforts to that. Changing the beginning of the game was...

RRP. It's only fair.

I'm thinking at this stage Rescorla has more than earned a stint in the RRP. 500 posts in one thread in a few weeks is above and beyond.

Do fuck off.

Think we're mixing up Zenimax and Zenimax Online a little. If I recall correctly one of the guys with stock in Bethesda used it to help create Zenimax around 2000. Zenimax Online was later created as a subsidiary to make TESO with Firor heading it up. Bottom line Zenimax is an umbrella that...

Good call Xaxius. The current state of Mythic says everything about Firor. Zenimax should take note of that. Trying to tie TESO to the history of TES and Bethesda is just ignorant. edit : I think Mythic only have Ultima Forever - a mobile game - in house now ?

Zenimax didn't exist when Arena came out.

Somethings up just from looking at their recruitment pages. My best guess would be they're moving on to making a Fallout MMO having cashed in on TES. ZeniMax Careers Majority of those are senior positions, which is where the guy on here said they were moving people on. Whatever, I'm...

'Eve Online' Maker Posts $21M Loss For 2013 - Forbes

Agree totally. For gamers it's a great thing. More fun, more innovation, more people making games who have a passion for them instead of the cash grab.

Gutted. Thought Moyes was doing a great job. On the bright side Bruce is one of the favorites to take over. Frying pan, fire etc. Being serious for a moment Manc fans need to face up to the fact Whisky Nose was good for 10 point a year through sheer intimidation of linesmen and...

Wiz is my only 70 atm. I've been struggling with getting it going. What's working for me now is using Disintegrate and gearing for +crit chance and return Arcane power on crit, then increase crit dmg and increase arcane power as secondaries. Astral Power as a passive to increase arcane power and...

This has snuck up. Been getting beta mails for a while but not took note. Anyone played it ? Launches this Wednesday. I believe people have been playing it for a couple of years for testing prior to this launch. Time based skill development a la Eve. Giant mechs Deep crafting a la SWG...

This is certainly what most thought was going to be the case when Smed came out with his SWG remark. For me SoE could well be continuing their long history of having massive opportunities fall in their lap only to screw them up with dumb decisions. I'll be playing H1N1 but I'm not nearly as...

They really seem to be out of their depth. Crossing off the worst game events post launch one by one. Vanguards exploited gold ruining the economy - check SW:ToRs characters locked out from playing - check SWGs mass bank and items missing - check People on the official forums...

This is cool. Competition to remake Garriotts earliest - and simplest - RPG code. Reward of a $550 pledge to SoTA and a couple of $165 runner up pledge rewards : Richard GarriottD #1 Contest! | Shroud of the Avatar

To an extent coming into Pantheon I gave him the benefit of the doubt and felt some compassion towards him. He's been through some hard times - maybe he had had time to become more self aware. It's clear that nothing of the sort has happened. Once again it's others who are bearing the real...

Flavor text : Brad McQuaid Abandoned Vanguard, Sigil | The Grouchy Gamer What's funny is that we had the same rep back in '07 as we have now on RR because we didn't buy Brads shit : Again, from someone who was at Verant/SoE the first time around :

Mumble is just a talk app mate. You can even get it just by clicking on the mumble link on the KTam page :K-TAM Radio(click 'connect' on the mumble box).

I'm really missing being involved with the guys and following closely what we're doing but this stuff is one of the reasons I'm not playing. I'd just be a raging tard by now what with this and the bank bugs and raging tards only make things worse for everybody. Hope they don't nerf grind...

Do want. Kind of funny having that stupid little Wildstar advert over it (probably varies for you). Just makes me think even more what trash Western dev houses have been churning out trying to ride the WoW gravy train.

A blue / red system a la UO would work, with 'innocent' kills adding to your 'blood' count. The more kills you have the more you attract zombies. Add a system whereby you can be irrevocably turned into a zombie. The problem then is disposable characters; we come back to the lack of a skill or...
