    EQ Never

    Good post I agree with almost all of it I've actually made most of the same points in separate posts here myself but you brought them nicely together in one post. I would add one extra item that is critical to creating the community feeling EQ had. That being creating the perception that...

    EQ Never

    I prefer the old Erudite multi class Mage/Necro/Wizard/Enchanter who wants to live forever so he can acquire even more knowledge Miragul myself.

    New Progression Server confirmed

    PoP is the natural end point for classic EQ. You can throw in LoY because it's just low level content with more bank space. LDoN you add to give level 65 a longer term end game + augs. It gives raiders LDoN raid items to chase after that are unique while still being sideways upgrades to Time...

    New Progression Server confirmed

    1 No work cause no server. 2 Uses existing progression server model no new work except turning server on. 3 Same as two but minor change to expansion unlock timer. 4 Same as two just have to decide what expansion is the cut off point. 5 Would need work extending achievement system back into...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I'm starting to think maybe within a few weeks. They seem to be gutting most games down to skeleton crews. Designed to maintain and maybe produce a few minor droplets of new content a year. Not enough to actually make a expansion out of. I don't see what there doing as being able to maintain...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Merc's have the old pet tanking code up to level 100. They get hit more often then players do but they take minimum damage from those hits 90% of the time. Players get hit less often but take a much higher number of high damage hits. The result is under geared under AAed player tanks really wont...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Pushing people towards a eventual subscription is the basic concept of EQ f2p model. They haven't been willing to simply embrace f2p as there end goal for EQ.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Silver is gone now I think. You just subscribe for a single month and auto grant will give you all AA up to level 90. So if your level 90+ $14.99 gives you 6kish free AA and 30 days to gain more before ability to gain new AA ends with subscription. Once subscription ends you can't gain new AA...

    Fairly certain LoL is one of the largest video game in terms of players and revenues while being F2P with zero P2W needed.

    What makes people think they knew who they were letting go weeks ago? They may have only decided who was and wasn't going in the past few days.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    It's basically easier and cheaper to write new EQ like lore then it is to train the new writers to use the old lore. That being said ill say again I hated the abandonment of old EQ lore planned by EQ Next.

    EQ Never

    F2P, station store, and benefits for having a all access pass is the current model. PS2 gives double exp and free certs for subscription, EQ is basically subscription required for raiders.

    H1Z1 (Not actually an MMO) - Server: Antidote (info in first post)

    This game uses the same engine as PS2 there is zero chance of it not being cheater infested. PS2 was a decent game that the cheaters have literally destroyed going from 20 to 2 servers over the course of two years. SoE ether was unable are simply didn't care.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    My guess is 52 million is ten plus years of Sony investments in SoE not being completely paid back. Were talking small loss on every game SoE has made sense EQ2. They finally sold SoE so they had to write off those losses in order to close the books.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    If you define defeat as basically preventing evil from existing then yes they lost. Sense that goal was completely absurd and they killed the main sources of that evil and then the minor reoccurrence of it before voluntary leaving middle earth on there own accord. While basically handing the...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    The elves by the time of LoTR were a minor remnant of the prior elf presence in middle earth. The vast majority of elves had already left. I don't think elves were trying to preserve anything at that point. The question was stay and stop Sauron from wiping out the humans or simply leave them to...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Its important to understand that most elves of first age didn't die they simply left. Galadriel predates the first age before elves even came to middle earth. New elves as they were born were diminished existing elves don't appear to diminish. That's why you get super Jedi elf lords in hobbit...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    I don't think you can say the elves were defeated as much as they simply chose to leave. Sauron's old boss was the one who commanded the Balrogs and created the Dragons both of whom Sauron isn't it seems able to command. The elves were able to destroy that head bad guy Melkor in there time...

    But the upside is that white men can now win the discrimination lawsuit lottery. I'm just waiting for the first ruling that telling someone to check there privilege is in fact grounds for awarding damages. Based on the fact that the statement inherently targets people based upon race, sex...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Worse then the second Hobbit better then the first. Kinda meh about it largely because of the pacing and elves being rather dumb in there behavior. Thinking extended edition may have more elf history to make Thranduil's behavior more udnderstandable.

    Um no Sony made a perfectly legal movie the theater would be showing a perfectly legal movie. They both have zero legal responsibility for those carrying out criminal acts because of there movie.

    North Korean Hackers Attack On Sony

    Most likely were looking at blackmail here. The hackers likely have other things that could put Sony people in jail if they were revealed and still other things that could also lead to massive civil lawsuit judgments against Sony as well.

    Never going to watch this movie even if they release it later because of the cowardly behavior of Sony.

    I think you were right yesterday about Sony going out of business that at the time I thought was crazy when I read it. Now invading North Korea I still think is crazy.

    Rek'sai is only weak early in jungle. Very weak at level one. Will always need help on first red buff but after level four rek clears jungle with incredible speed. Burrowed E is a free flash every twenty seconds for ganking that can leave a tunnels through walls for future use. basically the...

    Petition: Remove Anita Sarkeesian from Mirror's Edge 2 Game Development

    I signed because she will use any position she gets in industry to push for censorship of other games. I think people just making the games they want and others buying the games they want is actually the answer here. But Anita doesn't share that view and will use any credibility she gains to...

    League Of Legends

    Normally in that position I would go with attack them get damage in as you die and go spend the 400+ gold you have acquired. Most of time you get back before they take the tower and you have a huge health and item advantage over them because you have spent that 400 gold and also you're at full...

    Ok I have a question for everyone? If your playing ARAM do you think it's is acceptable to lose a tower when score is 0/1. Were not talking about a rushed early tower kill here were talking about a team with poor range simply retreating so much that enemy kills tower because basically no one...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    I actually do think Lucas did sit around and think up reasons for the way things were the way they were when he they created original Star Wars. Those reasons though do also conform to his desired narrative of a Dog, Cat, Mouse situation where rebel cats run from the big imperial dog star...
