There was a very recent post by a current EQ dev from SOE about how AC currently works. It used to be very rare that they gave such specifics about a mechanic but they have been opening up lately, much to the appreciation of the players. Here is the post:Pretty deep explanation about AC...

That was an amazing video of the city. Incredable how they manage to get Assassin Creed-levels of life and activity into it. Also every nook and cranny seems to be uniquely handcrafted, with a credable layout. And lots of interiors too so not just fronts. Awesome. Not sure why the avatar had...

Outcast Reboot HD by Fresh3D Inc Kickstarter If you liked that game back in '99, check it out. It is a replay of the original but remade in HD. KS not going too well though.

Fawe, that is just awesome.

This is kinda sad. Almost feels like this is dead in the water already, seeing the number of posts in this thread. At least other triple A budget MMO's managed to keep up some hype untill a few weeks into release. I must admit that I never got past the 15 minute mark in the tutorial of this game...

I was hoping for something post-apocalyptic, though with a little bit more color then Fall Out 3, which I can only think of in grey-tones. Also was hoping for a skilll system a la SWG. Instead we get zombies, survival, PvP and no skill system. Not interested. Not interested in EQnext either...

Gog.com has a good deal on the witcher games and some others. Only runs for like an hour still. You can also vote for next day 75% off batch which includes the Unreal games. GOG.com

Hey now, Brad has the first next-gen flop!

I am almost glad that I never played UO (waited for Everquest to be released instead) because I would undoubtedly be burdened by nostalgia about how UO played. I understand that they are trying to incorporate a lot of the freedom and features that UO had, and I find that very interesting. But I...

Haha, you are starting to sound a little bit like "Hey, psssst, I'll give you the first one for free........" Just kidding, Flight, I know you hate to see people that might be interested in this miss out, and watch the outcries of disappointment in the next 8 months. You could also make a...

I think it is MMO enough to qualify. When people read it has a Multiplayer mode, next to a Friends Only online mode, Solo online mode and a Solo offline mode, they think that at most this will be some sort of "hub" game. MMO= thousands of player in the same world. However MMO's have been...

Indeed they do not.

Mm, could I interest you in the Royal *white* incarnation of that horn? Recognizing Our Original Backers | Shroud of the Avatar Forum Flight, the Hot tub was originally an April Fools joke, but they decided to make it happen anyway. Here is the latest update:Update of the Avatar #67...

You can just go ahead and do a deal like Flight did, then once you are a founder, you can email[email protected]/* <![CDATA[...

I think it is very hard to predict these days, which virtual pixels will get real-dollar value, and which aren't. The two most important factors imo: game-success and availability of the assets. The first is very unpredictable; the second could be more predictable if only gamecompanies could be...

Well, I upgraded my pledge to Virtual Collector level. That way I get access to all the Royal Founder Awards. Really looking forward to the next alpha weekend, with implementation of combat decks and such. Hopefully my SotA purchase will keep me from impulse-buying TESO, just because I am in...

Here is a clarification on the housing from the community manager:

Flight, yes, I read all the replies in both of the Overland map threads. I did not get the impression that they are going back to the old map system. It is not a dealbreaker, I still think the game has huge potential. About the housing, as I understand it ( I looked this up), you can still...

You can absolutely buy houses in-game with in-game coin. Just not all of the houses and towers and boats that are offered as part of Founder packages. but there will certainly be a good selecion to choose from. You can also buy a lot deed for in-game coin. I'll admit that it does not say that...

$%#^&** Entire piece of my post got deleted. Anyway, I think that lighthouse is WAY cool. Good choice. I am holding out for now, also because I let myself influence by a bit of a nasty thing going on about the Overland map. Basically they are backtracking on a promise here, and have...

I am using my Nostromo n52 to relieve some of the harvesting. It can emulate a mouseclick on a loop, so I just put my cursor on a tree, push a button and it cuts the tree for me. Mining same thing, you only have to move the cursor around a bit, but do not have to click anymore. It does not sound...

Glad I could help, Flight. Thanks for the beta offers, I already got both of those so you can make someone else happy. I hope you let us know with which property you will end up with.Check out the Baron Founder City mansion, I think it is the nicest.

Flight, there is a way to still become a Founder, through gifting. This deal runs till April the 7th. It means that an original founder can "gift" a founder package to anyone who is not a founder, and then the recipient is a founder too, and can upgrade his pledge on a Founder level, untill the...

I made sure to visit all the houses that are available this time, and I must say the only mansion that I really like is the Barons Town mansion. Unfortunately this is a 3800 dollar purchase.I like it better then the top-of-the-bill Lord of the Manor keep, which is bigger but has less rooms...

Going to play this a bit again this weekend. I wish the house-lot tiers weren't so expensive. Cheapest one starts at 500 dollars. For that you do get a taxfree lot-deed, not just a house, then again nobody knows what people will be paying in-game for the upkeep of a lot (and the deed itself)...

Used code, many thanks!

Comment on his timeline seems to be gone now.

This, the stupid Forge that you have to throw a billion yellows in to maybe get something better, and the overall boring itemizaton made me quit GW2 soon after I became level 80. Such a pity, I really liked the gameworld and a lot of other things. I keep wanting to go back, but as soon as I...

Ha, don't sweat it.I can not justify it to my family (wife and kids) but if it was just old me then I would most likely buy this:paizo.com - Goblin Squad Tavern OwnerI am considering it even now but I must admit that there is a realistic chance that I will not like this MMO (either). The thing...

Thanks for explaining a bit. You say that you do not expect that you could ever obtain so many ships while playing. I am sure that a new player will not have an entire fleet within 3 months of playing. However if they want to make this game even a tiny bit interesting to a larger audience...

I have invested 30 dollars in this game for which I get a newbie ship with lifetime hull-insurance and some other perks. Can't go wrong there imo. I am wondering though about the people who spend thousands of dollars for the more expensive ships: will these ships never become available in the...

A code for this beta-weekend: 8GA5-6ZU8-6MQ2-BHVT-NPQ9 Please post if you used it so others wil not try in vain.

Ha yes, Skyfen Mountains does remind me of Skyfire Mountains. Even so, this is a nice map. I like maps with lots of mountainranges, lakes, lagunes and islands. I am missing the rivers but I guess they will be added. There is one interesting feature that caught my eye: there seems to be a...

Already answered but yes, just make a Customer report ticket on the SOE account that is flagged for EQNL and fill in the dropdown boxes. Can even choose the subject of "Refund". Painless indeed.

I asked for a refund about 5 days after alpha began and it was processed within a day. Already got my money back.

Rerolled A few hours after the Kickstarter launched, when the honeymoon had just started and people were blindly pledging. The moment I had seen that video I went from a "Cool, Brad is giving it another go" to "umm, no". THAT'S RIGHT, I WAS THE FIRST TO DOUBT THIS ABOMINATION OF A...

My primary school teacher learned us to keep our excuses/explanations for why one was late, short and limited to a single reason, as to increase credability. Shit like "my alarm did not go off, had to walk the dog and the bridge was open" did not fly. That Brad needs such a long epistel to...

I was hoping that you could copy the dir with contents from my isp but maybe that is not possible. So for now you have to go into the EverQuest directory and then copy all of the files(there are no subdirectories luckily) there to your computer where you can create a map called EverQuest and...

Lol. I guess they want to convey the "Indie-vibe" but it's not working. Those pictures just convey goofing around and being bored. Also, all the coat-wearing people give an impression of already being halfway out the door. That's what you want to show to your backers, I am sure.

You can just see half of them thinking, "wtf am I doing here". Not confidence inspiring.
