What a fucking moron. I am no WAR apologist. I am having fun and I think there is an excellent chance it will be over in a month or two. Hell, for sure in six (see my DAoC background, even with the top guild). Still, the launch was near perfect. Bitch about AC, laugh at OU, complain...

"zerking fool! Stun resists or HP don"t mean much when your numbers are legion. (I"d go for 25 Orc Warlocks personally though, nothing says **WTF!!!&*^&* like 25 felguards/seeds and lolAEsbolts shit would be funny as hell. Were I to go this route in general though, nothing would be more funny...

Break the game my man!

Well Zehn, the thing is that it wasa card game. As interesting as mini-games often are, a card game is a pretty poor metaphor for diplomacy and frankly, is jarring in terms of immersion. I like the idea in general but I"d rather see something along the lines of the old Star Control system...

Meh, UO did it amusingly, EQ2 to some degree and AO again to a slight degree. Only DAoC really had "housing" that sorta kinda mattered and even then it was mostly another bindpoint. Housing is one of those things everyone thinks they want but really, they don"t care nearly as much as they seem...

Naturally EQ was far, far more competition-based because it was a game where you could actually deny content to other players. I"m seeing the microcosm of this on my little sandbox server in WoW right now. We are the only guild doing much progression and while we are months (weeks?) behind...

Well, I can think of one guy that should have stopped after Star Wars (or at least after the original trilogy)...

If you let your "system" control your loot, I think you have lost already. Yes, iLeveled loot is easy, arguably "fair" and works fine. It"s bland though and I think WoW has proven that inarguably. I personally think that it is in your interest as a developer to want certain things to be...

Make the rant forums first and add in a SS forum and I might even come by. Otherwise I"ve got EJ and here already There"s always room for more ranting though!

It"s really pretty simple. Twinking for PvE fun in a game that promotes or at least allows single player soloing is fun. Hell man, it"s a great deal of fun and by keeping it expensive (mostly self-regulating in any economy) and interesting (which it is) you create another sub-game for your...

I 2-boxed in EQ some but frankly, that was of necessity and not because I particularly enjoyed it. I also have boxed a little in WoW but only ever in a power-leveling sense and not for any real purpose. Given WoW systems I"d have to spend a great deal of money and effort to set something up that...

EVE is a good game and I enjoyed the time I spent playing it (which is certainly not something that I can say about every game) but let"s not kid ourselves. If I had for some reason kept my account alive from launch, that character"s trained skills with even moderate work would have more...

Fuck limiting spell-casters even further. They willalwaysbe balanced around no mana limitations and near-perfect casting opportunities. Given that, fuck the idea of them having to deal with any other issues. That said, I"d love a system that made int-casters unique and special children. The...

It all comes back to balance again then Casti though. If content is balanced around all the players having that reward then the effect is exactly the same in the end. I won"t deny that it is an important distinction though in the players" minds. I still chuckle at the uproar in WoW"s beta...

It saddens me that "punk" and "emo" are so blended together in modern thought today. Don"t get me wrong, most punk was never really very punk but shit man, it was still a far cry from fucking emo.

Seriously. Posting recent information about Schilling in this thread is pretty much right on target. Not that I personally care if he"s endorsing anyone politically or not but hey, it could be of interest to future fanbois.

Being "THE BOMB!" should make your character visually represent that status clearly enough that even a moron is aware of the situation. Regardless though, I like UI Mods and use and modify many of them myself. I do agree for certain though that they need to be controlled to some degree to avoid...

If you haven"t picked up on the concept of a release being perhaps not flawless but still acceptable, I don"t know what to tell you. DAoC was acceptable at launch but not great. Servers were stable and basic game features were in although occasionally buggy. Tradeskills were there but needed...
