    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Success for the kickstarter will depend largely on the rewards for the different backer tiers. Look at the successful projects and : i) firstly they plugged into something people wanted (eg Hex - CCG / MMO hybrid); ii) they then persuaded people to pledge significantly more than the base...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    In the middle of an 18 hour camp in EQlive right now, my toons are auto killing a couple of trash mobs an hour. I thought I couldn't be more bored. Then I tried this game mid camp. Only lasted 10 minutes. Not good.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    And yet you can, as that class, swap to a build that does significant damage. Not only that but you can be a primary tank, healer or DPS. I've never, ever felt any connection to any character in WoW for this reason. I play for 1-2 months each expansion just to explore the design and evolution...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Don't agree with this. Best and most enjoyable class I ever played (Bard in FFXI) did literally zero damage - but he buffed the party so well that every group wanted one. The normalization of DPS is amongst the worst things that WoW has introduced to the industry. The main thing is this -...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Depends on if you want to take the chance on them ending test being free and free expansions. Big things changing at SoE in the coming couple of months. It wouldn't surprise me if they stopped the test free play. All SoE membership accounts accounts (paid) will be All Access only, with the...

    Soccer 2013-2014

    I know the lad who does these. He had the original parody account took off him and deleted by Twitter after the real Allardyce got pissed off with it (he mentioned it in the press more than once, which was funny in itself). Got it back eventually after agreeing to make it clear it was a parody...

    The Hobbit

    Gandalf was a loot ho. He binned the rest of his party when he saw it spawn and even had the cheek to show up in the leet white robe it dropped later.

    Michael schumacher in critical condition after accident

    When I think of Schumacher I think of how he won one World Championship off Damon Hill by purposely shunting Hill off the track in the final race of the season to clinch it. Scumbag move. Hope he recovers.

    I want to finally try a head shot Ranger before it gets further nerfed (they said it's coming soon at this years Fan Faire). Need a Bow of the Destroyer and don't have plat. So I need to paypal some cash to someone for either a Bow or some plat on Firiona Vie. Shoot me a PM if you're...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I want an MMO where I feel an attachment to my character again. Been a decade since I had that. Working with friends, competing as a guild, hanging out is all good stuff but I lose attachment to a game because - shock - I lose attachment to my character. EQ1 is still my go back to game for a...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    No-one knows that because no analysis happened. Certainly 38S staff on the development side believed it was feasible and said as much publicly here and on FoH. No one is blaming them for not investing further, certainly not me. What I am saying is that Chafee pulled the kill switch earlier than...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    Harvard Business School did a case study on 38S which has quite a bit of material in it that I haven't read anywhere else including critical feedback from Jen MacLean and others. As I said there was money out there but Curt was unwilling to give up any of his shares in the company until it was...

    Doctor Who

    Didn't enjoy this episode much at all. Thought it was a mish mash. Moffat following on from Davies in creating too many twists and sub plots and trying to be too clever.

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    It wasn't quite that simple. One of the biggest decisions that left the fate of 38S in the hands of the State was Curt refusing to give up stock in the company over a number of years while they were looking for investors. Remember this was at the time WoW was punching it's biggest numbers...

    ISBoxer is excellent for multi or single monitor. Extra clients are minimized where you want them - along the side, bottom or top edge if single monitor and swap with the main client window just by clicking on them. http://isboxer.com/

    Doctor Who

    Not sure if this has been covered but in the BBC Christmas TV magazine there's an interview with Moffat who says we'll find out that Matt Smith is the 13th Doctor and that "some fundamental Doctor Who myths and stories will be either turned right on their head or completely re-imagined'."

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Can't say if it's underrated as I've never tried it but to be fair there wasn't much competition in terms of 2013 MMOs, especially underrated ones. Maybe they should have just said there wasn't one worth mentioning this year. NW just released a new module and the Ranger class. Tempted to...

    Path of Exile

    I'd suggest using Skels with Totem and Faster Casting until your build is finished. Doesn't matter if Skels die if they keep getting summoned by the Totem and it's good for casting ahead of you.

    MMO Glitches / Sploits

    Not so much a sploit as unintended game play but raiding in Gates of Discord the first 6 months after it's launch as an Enchanter was nuts. There were a few mobs we could charm which put out more DPS than the whole rest of the raid put together.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    1. In 2.0 is there any difference in the mob levels of areas in the different difficulties or does each difficulty run lvl 1 - 70 ? 2. Is there any difference in the quality or quantity of item drops in the different difficulties (other than the higher level gems listed on the game...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    XBones main selling points have been media integration. This is almost non existent in the UK. Another interesting point media coverage of the two consoles in the UK didn't highlight the PS4s superiority in the UK pre release but has started doing so post release. Right now it's easy to...

    Why did Rift fail?

    Agree with this. By definition a persistent MMO is designed to keep people playing - and thereby they generally make money. If people don't want to keep playing it - ie if there is not something about it's persistence and ongoing game play that people enjoy - then it's a failure. The...

    Path of Exile

    Agree with this in PoE and vanilla D3. It wasn't the case in D2:LoD though. I very rarely traded in that game. Finding gear you can use is a massive part of the attraction in an ARPG for me and many others. In this respect PoE fails miserably for me - you will very rarely find anything you...
