Good luck. Build it, and we'll be there.

This debate is an excellent reminder of how fucking hard it is to design an open world pvp system that works, is fun, and is popular. Especially in a fantasy mmo.

Heheh.. your uncritical love of all things Obama..Care still makes me laugh. Do you honestly believe that the ACA has been a net positive for the country? Really? After all the evidence to the contrary and even most Democrats running from it as fast as possible?

Cool look... for a god. But hopefully the armor for us normal human types isn't so ornate.

Even if it tanked, that wouldn't mean the game you want is incapable of being popular. All that matters is the fun factor. A game can be brutally hard and still be fun, the same is true of a very easy game. All entertainment; movies, music, art, etc, is the same way. Just because you follow...

Pretty much. I was in my early 30's when I played EQ. Worked, took care of the family, etc. Was also in the top guild on our server. It was all about time management. You didn't need to play 24/7 to be in the best guild and play at a top level. One of our best healers was a grandmother. And...

"Most" people also don't play WoW, since your arbitrary standard could be read to mean all of the planet's 7 billion people. So therefore, using your reasoning, there shouldn't be any more WoW clones made. And yet the gaming companies keep churning them out to "fail" over and over again. What...

Burnem loves being a stalker, he has no other life.

Lol, nobody is abusing the system like you are. They just neg me because they disagree with me, you actually spent your whole fucking thanksgiving vacation abusing the system so you could neg me again, again, again and again. You didn't leave the house but instead spent hours handing out rep to...

There are a number of disturbing trends that do have to be dealt with on a word wide scale. Global warming, overpopulation, diminishing resources, and even things like antibiotics becoming ineffective, etc. We have been able to overcome the issues so far but they will continue to put a strain on...

Wow, and you did it again. I am amazed how pathetic you are. Really dude, get a life.

FFXIV being a relaunch doesn't count I guess. But it's probably the best of 2013.

You spent your whole thanksgiving holiday stalking me. The amount of energy you put into it is creepy. And you still do it. You have serious issues, and it's obvious from your reactions that you probably do the same thing to other people in your life. You are one strange dude, I hope you don't...

If you don't want to be called a creepy internet stalker then stop acting like one. Hah. You've been defending bad practice because it's Obama's bad practice from the start.

My nephew just told me that he and his friends are super excited for this game. I guess he has never played a mmo before but loves all the Elder Scrolls games. Mods them out and has played them all a few times. I didn't have the heart to tell him what you all think of it. Don't want to be the...

LoTRO is one of those games you can legitimately play without paying anything, but it takes a ton of work. You get coins for just doing content (finishing quests, achievements and exploring) which can be used to buy everything. Or you can just pay for the coins. A sub will get you coins every...

Oh look it's my creepy internet stalker... you really do need to go back on your meds.

Hard to be rustled when you are laughing at someone's folly.

Lol. I am still amazed at how far you will go to defend this idiocy. So much so that you now defend all bad government practice as good for all. If Obama declared that you didn't deserve to live and must be put out of your misery for the good of the rest of the country, you would bow down and...

That's good to know, but it would be hard to discern that from recent posts. For me, Oblivion is mildly interesting. I play it every now and then and push the storyline a bit farther. Kind of bland at times though. Not much of a single player RPG fan, but I actually like Gothic (the first...

I can't argue with their ability to sell the game, it is a phenomenal success. Good for them, and I really do wish them the best. Especially since it is a genre so many of us miss, love and are pining for. But... on the other side.... it's hard not to laugh at the scene of millions of suckers...

I'm not against modding, and actually think that every game (including mmos) should have that option. But if a gameneedsmods to be fun then I personally consider it to be a failure.

My feelings exactly.

Curious about the levels with different gravity effects. Has anyone tried them yet? Did you enjoy it? If that has been answered before and I missed it then oops, my bad. But that is the only thing remotely interesting to me in this game, so it is hard to weed through the rest of the info...

Probably play Skyim at some point, not going to bother with Morrowind. But will never finish Skyrim to be honest. The graphics look cool enough to play around for a few hours and not feel ripped off though. Have a hard time finishing single player RPG's. I get bored fighting the computer, too...

Only played Oblivion and not much of it. So not concerned about TESO's ties to the other games it draws it's lore from. To me TESO is just another fantasy mmo. And if it weren't for the 3 faction PvP system I wouldn't even be following this game. That's the real draw for me, the multifaction...

This is the game on top of my list. I'll buy whatever platform it is on.

So when is this supposed to be released? Are they still sticking to schedule? April 4th for PC and juce for consoles is the last date I saw.

I sent you a PM because there wasn't any point to your bs posts to me in this thread. Just like now. Do you have anything about this game to talk about? If not then take it to PMs, where we all can ignore your pathetic attempt for attention.

Very good summary of the issues involved in reputation. Your barriers to reputation working in a larger community are not as fixed as you think though. It just requires some innovative and proactive thinking on the dev's part to accomplish. We have over 6 billion people in the world now, and...

Most people here are pretty solidly against the game, and their reasons seem valid. But on other forums (that are not so jaded) there is a lot of excitement from the general populace. My "guess" is that the people here are probably pretty close to being right. The fanboys in general gaming...

You're still butthurt for jumping the gun last time I see. Since you obviously have no clue what you are talking about or about my history in these threads, why don't you go back to the political section where life is sooooo balanced and unbiased.... Keep it out of here.

Lol, it was meant half in jest and I thought was obvious hyperbole. Of course I don't think getting everyone fired or breeding devs from zygotes in a secluded room is going to save mmo's. But there is a serious issue in game developement that has everyone copy / pasting the last game they...

Welcome to modern mmos, where every game is a boring idiotic copy of every boring idiotic copy, ad nauseum. At this point the only solution is to fire every gaming dev (you included) and breed them from scratch having never played EQ, WoW or any of their endless clones.

Please, please, please let this game be real.

Didn't Second Life have a land rush of sorts? Where some of the early squatters made lots of real life cash selling it later? It was designed into the game though. Didn't play Second Life so I might be recalling that wrong, but that kind of gameplay if set up correctly can be interesting. So...

I don't want "wackamole" but I do want something better than what we have now. The whole rotation / ability bloat, while waiting for your next cooldown thing is bullshit. One of the worst examples of that is Rift. And all of it is an extention of the same tired old mechanics we have had since...

Well, the kind of failure you are talking about is subjective though. ALL mmos have failed on that metric. I don't like WoW, so by your rules it is a failure. But I would never call it that. But the question of why we don't play Rift is a good one. For me it's because it's just like all the...

Depends on what you call failure. It was, and is a financial success, much more so than the vast majority of mmos. Especially since TRION managed their costs much better than EA did with Star Wars.

I'm just going by the NYTimes article in this discussion. So you are saying that they are wrong? Why so? Because of tech? Tech doesn't solve all issues. There is a limit to how many patients a doctor can see in an hour, regardless of the tech involved.
