Two new pretty cool and talented folks join the gang at 38. Check it out here Irena immediately made me realize how incredibly deep UI processes are. Blowing away my theory that you just made this app that people clicked on to enjoy your game Tremendous insight into how involved and...

I was in this camp until about 3 years ago. Nothing, and I mean nothing in the MMO space will ever come out bug free. I am not making excuses or saying we"ll suck, we won"t, but it showed a real clear lack of understanding on my part to be espousing a 100% perfect game at launch. There are so...

I am not sure I agree with this. If there is a smaller quest pool, then doesn"t it stand to reason that more players will have more quests in common if there are fewer to choose from? The key is going to be allowing you to group up on these quests regardless of phase or step you are currently...

I am absolutely on board with the "livelier" cities thing. I think there is a point of diminishing returns that you must be absolutely careful with but ya, I agree that it would be awesome as heck to be a PC and walk into a city that looks every bit as if it is operating and working just fine on...

One thing, that has not been done, but you feel is either a must in next gen or a serious differentiator that could set a game apart.

So maybe you mean something like a story, that had players involved directly in the outcome? And maybe that outcome had a tangible meaningful effect for the winners? And maybe a tangible meaningful butdifferenteffect for the losers? Interesting.

Some fantastic responses. The 2 I think I have from this discussion are: 1) A completely thorough and robust "social" networking system. I want to be able to communicate, chat, mail, in game out of game, all of it, with anyone anywhere with nothing more than a click or two before entering...

Question. To anyone that has played more than one MMO or has played one MMO for a few years. If you knew an MMO was coming out in a genre you were interested in, what would be the following: 1) The one core basic feature would you 100% expect to be in, and expect to be perfected at...

To those that have emailed or messaged me thanks. I"d like to extend the offer to anyone here that considers themselves "high end" or "hard core" WoW players. Most of you commented (not that we didn"t already know about the "usefulness" of the AA (Azeroth Advisor :: World of Warcraft Guide) to a...

I disagree in that you don"t ever ignore your players/customers, no matter how hard or soft they are. Every niche of customer brings a very different and unique perspective, all have something to offer. This hits right at the heart of even game design, you can"t be all things to all players...

Oh ya, that"s absolutely 100% of the focus. The last thing you want to have to do is alt-tab out to get information from bookmarked sites if you don"t have to. This may not stop that completely, but what it can provide is off line reading material incredibly relevant to your character, level...

The eventual goal is to have hard core players benefiting from and writing content for stuff like this. The ONLY possible benefit hardcore players could perceive is getting an edge, and getting an edge in this space with something like this means having information BEFORE everyone else, or at...

Not sure some of you are getting what it does. If you sign up for the service you are sent a newsletter, you don"t have to go looking for it. The test bed is a very different animal for sure. This product has been in the "field" for a few years, but the player base as a whole is far past...

Let me apologize. First off you should have been (and you will be in short order) notified that the newsletter you generate for your toon on the site is a GENERIC form of the actual newsletter you"d receive. The one you get if you sign up for the service is able to, and does, create a much...

What you"d notice as a sub is that the newsletter is sent "a level ahead" of where you currently are. It tells you what"s in store for your next level, as well as what"s available to you content wise this level. The other things being worked on are much more player specific. Recognizing that...

Hehe ya those FAQ things get ya all the time...

You can still generate a character sheet on the site if you want to see what it does and looks like.

Not yet, but we are in the midst of making that happen!

Just go there and use the tool at the bottom of the front page to create your character sheet to see for yourself. It will bring up your specific characters "newsletter" and you can see what it really is and does.

The key for me, in loving the product, was the culling of information from players and from sites all over the net into a very character and class specific newsletter written by good and smart players. There is always room to improve but the key for me was the time saved in trying to find that...

If any of you folks have tried the old version of the Azeroth Advisor in the past I wanted to let you know we have soft launched the revamped product. We are working to complete much of the behind the scenes stuff but anyone that is a current or former customer you can now get the new updated...

I see no way of allowing people to "grandfather" in to earlier scenarios once they move out of the tier. Imagine an already present imbalance of the lvl 11 with all skills vs the lvls 1-4 with literally no skills, now bring in a 17 with their skills to the mix, make it even less fun and you"d...

I would imagine there was hundreds of hours spent thinking about the queue system and how it would work, and then the actual implementation of it. When, now that I look at it, wouldn"t the easiest solution have been to allow world wide scenario access (based on server type) for class balanced...

Definitely noticed the GAPING change in RvR scenario activity once you hit t2. I was doing 5-10 an hour in t1, and first 3 days in t2 not one single queue. Almost felt like a penalty for leveling fast, which I don"t think people want. That"s going to be the rub for awhile. Thing is I just...

Any issues I"ve had with the launch have been client side for the most part, and they continue through today. I"ve updated my vid card and done everything I can but the game still crashes far too often for me. In the Phoenix scenario when I am on the repeater I am getting pushed to desktop...

You really honestly believe that? You really think that the person in the White House and his tax plan is even remotely a motivation for me in voting or backing a candidate? The difference in Presidents over the past 15 years, if we"d have had one or the other, would have meant I paid 55...

Save it dude, you"re the idiot wasting your life talking about someone you hate, why? Go do whatever it is you do with whomever you do it with. People ask me questions, I answer them how I feel, you have a problem with that don"t listen, turn the channel, don"t open the thread, go away. Oh...

The flaws in this comment are just, well they"re just wrong. This is how the normal everyday business world thinks, and in many cases it"s why things happen the way they happen. Will our product be perfect? Nope. Will it be flawless? Probably not. Will it be fun? Damn well better be...

It"s only taking "long" because I started yapping in here years before we were going to be able to say much of anything. Here"s what I can say, with confidence. It"s an MMO. R.A. Salvatore created the world you"ll live in from the small group of folks that started the game/story. It turned...

Na, Shwayd"s a pvp hack, he loves that stuff.... Though the RvR was fun as hell I have to admit. Agreed on the PAX booth but as much as I feel like we"ve done, and we"ve accomplished we"re still so far away from being able to, or really needing to, say anything with any detail about what...

Here"s a thought, just a little one at that, don"t click on the thread dude. The only way you are "forced" to read it is by you making the conscious decision to click on it, and read. Ya, I still have no real news. Would love to, but don"t, well can"t more than don"t. FWIW I am getting a...

Oh it"s so WHO now, everyone in the office is getting on me for this. Cinematics, we now realize, DON"T represent gameplay (or most don"t try to) but they should tell you some story and give you some insight into what you are playing. WoW did that for me, and I felt the same thing with the...

Not going to lie, the WHO cinematic is as good as anything I"ve seen. Any qualms I had are gone and at the very least I"ll give this game a good serious try. Man was that a great 4 minutes and 31 seconds. Best part was it seemed to me like it was done by people that love the game, great stuff.

Maybe, just maybe I made a mistake. Maybe there were a few things I should have stated right up front. I do enjoy chatting about topics I have interest in, WoW, 38 Studios, baseball, all that hobby and work stuff. I am chatty so I do talk more than most. I do enjoy talking with people who...

Thanks At the end of the day you can take from our posts here whatever it is you choose to. But the above sort of nails it. We are passionate people getting a shot (in my case ANOTHER SHOT) at doing something we LOVE to do, for a living. That doesn"t suck. There are no ulterior motives here. I...

Anyone else feel that quest rewards should mainly be about the time investment the quest requires? If I get a fedex that has me running from Desolace to Stonard it sure as heck better not be 1100 xp because that"s what fedex quests are worth. I have felt at times that rewards were horribly...

I guess Our content will take as long as it"s supposed to take, to create I guess I would ask you what you were referring to? What timetable would be considered the industry standard to be compared to? Actually that was where I first got miffed, in WoW in those very caves! I didn"t get too far...

No reason to bow out, I think I get what you were saying better now. No need to argue either. We are after the very same things many shoot for. When you look at our GAME art, our GAME screen shots, you say "38 Studios" immediately. I didn"t realize how long that would take, but I am pretty...

Ok here is where I get hung up, because the same thing happens in sports to a much larger degree. People make points, often times with zero facts backing them, and then others run with those points until the conversation reaches a breaking point. All the while the points being debated and argued...

I am of the opinion that great content does take time, but not sure where or how you drew this conclusion?
