Sure it was

It'll suck or end up as vaporware if Brad's completely in charge. It all depends on whether he gets a yes-man Producer, or someone who can hold his feet to the fire. @Utnayan - nobody wants the true full metal jacket hardcore MMO. Thus the repeated comments on soloability in this thread...

Slows content consumption which is a good thing. OTOH, it's only acceptable if there's some horizontal progression available through current content - all progression can't be blocked.

As always, good to see you buy into Democrat scapegoating. Until people like you wake up and or look up (unlikely) we're doomed to continue with the same corrupt system.

Was watching this today and remembered this thread. This is where all you pro-death, pro-suicide people are heading:

Argo was a good movie, but shouldn't have won Best Picture. Life of Pi was the significantly better movie. @Khane I ran from Mysty Thicket to Qeynos on my level 2 or 3 Halfling. Doable, but certainly a bit scary.

As if there is a difference between Republican and Democrats these days. Please remind me again, how many Wall Street bankers did Obama's administration prosecute?

@Tuco Bussard ramjet.

Lol. I like seemless as much as the next guy it's more "immersive" and flying mounts are cool. But it takes a lot of money to do seemless well, and again running out of money is what left VG stillborn.

Wrong.

Barring an infusion of 100,000,000 into Brad's new company by some former-eq playing Billionaire, I couldn't agree less. There's just can't possibly be enough Money via kickstart, SOE backend, or random investor to do a good seemless world. So no to seemless, yes to bringing back zones.

I honestly don't fucking care about question marks or exclamation points as long as the quests are actually interesting. The problem isn't a large yellow "?" it's that quest hub quests are boring. Where 30% are take this message to some guy (FedEx), 40% are kill 10 rats but don't bring...

To Erronius and everyone else. Please don't lump Afghanistan and Iraq together when making arguments. Afghanistan was a justifiable war - if a government is sheltering the guy who orchestrated the death of 3,000+ of your citizens you get to go in with "boots on the ground" as well as...

Yes. Look at Blizzard. To SOE's credit - and what UT keeps forgetting - is that early EQ rolled with the emergent gameplay. Compare that to Blizz which shut down split pulling ASAP in Vanilla WoW. @Quaid - okay I'll agree, Copernicus Art Assets are "stunning" when compared to whatever Brad...

I looked at the video on youtube - it's nice, I don't know about stunning. But who is going to bid on it? It's just a bunch of Art Assets.

Afghanistan was justifiable and any President should have gone in after Osama and 9/11. Iraq wasn't and neither is Syria. Both Presidents sucked/suck in their own way but Obama sucks worse because Bush didn't come in saying he'd change the system and then double-down on making the system even...

Nice BS numbers as it counts as Bush vacation days when Bush had World Leaders visiting his ranch. I note you didn't attempt to compare golf outings. More to the point Obama takes really expensive vacations to Highway that cost $20,000,000 in the middle of a recession when Bush just flew home...

http://www.tentonhammer.com/copernic...auctioned-soon Maybe Brad can pick this up on the cheap. I kid, I kid. ;-)

I don't think he ever discussed his addiction - a la Robert Downey, Jr. That alone has me -_-

Obama was (is) an amazing campaigner. His 2012 campaign is arguably the best run campaign ever (or at least the best run of the modern era - difficult to compare his to Grover Cleveland's). He was unstoppable and indefatigable on the campaign trail, yet in office he just fucking golfs. He's...

Brad's first project was EQ. Not a failure. Brad's second project was VG. VG was a failure because of the aforementioned drug problem and lack of direction and because it was too fucking big. Despite VG being a failure it still had the most innovative Diku-based combat system seen in an...

Nah, isometric won't cut it. Zones on the other hand are a good idea. Vanilla Wow was Zone-arrific yet done in a such a way that you really didn't notic that you were corralled in a zone.

I'm not interested in telling them anything. We are all aware of Brad's past drug issues, but then again Robert Downey Jr was a Heroin addict for ten plus years but he's made some of my fav recent Hollywood Blockbusters since he cleaned up (First IM and the Sherlock Holmes movies).

I don't mind empty spaces but three continents at release was too much. Even with two continents there was a lot of empty space in Qalia. Brad gets one more shot at this - and that's only because EQ was pretty good and VG despite being super buggy had the best classes (at release, not now)...

Yes and was down to 50,000 by the second - that's my whole point. Vanguard would have released nearly bug free if it had been smaller and they'd cut out Thestra. Qalia and Kojan were enough.

Pretty much and I think Gaddafi was a complete Pig. All we've done is help AQ in Libya and Syria. Fucking awesome that our current President wants to aid AQ on the fucking anniversary of 9/11. If we're going to bomb anyone it should be the Saudis.

You guys are crazy. Sure it was great to see Dargun's Tomb, but if you weren't with a group you were never going to delve that dungeon. It was so far away from any major population center it could take hours for someone to reach it pre-portals. That big only works if the game has a larger...

Never going to happen - that just leads to 38 Studios half-finished MMO. The only way McQuaid succeeds at this project if he starts small and releases steady expansions. That's why he's less important than whatever producer he finally picks as to whether this ever sees the light of day.

No. That's what killed VG. It was too big, they couldn't fill it with enough content.

I did - he's no different than Araysar and the other anti-Semites in this thread. Don't try to argue with 'em, they'll (and this includes Phazael) justify their hate of Israel's "bad jews" anyway they can. Israel is no better or worse than anybody else and our only actual ally in the...

Niche is fine. But for this game to survive Brad has to: -Allow for solo play by all classes (this was possible in VG, but not in EQ). VG had the right mix, best stuff was in dungeons requiring groups, but you could solo grind two or three dots when nobody was on (this is one of the reasons...

Funny, but yeah he needs a Producer that can keep him on track. I'll be interested to hear who he is working with.

One might even say it has a lot of upside for him.

It's really only a few people who go over the top with the dev hate. I think it'd be easy enough to put those few on ignore as long as you have a thick skin. The real problem is that we end up in these endless circle jerks threads where the same ideas are repeated every 50 pages or so - so if...

EQN is not a WoW clone it is Diablolminecraft. It is however, unlikely to be something those of us who like EQ/VG will play long-term. I enjoyed LOL for a month. I can imagine myself enjoying EQN for at least a month I just don't see the longevity given horizontal progression. At the end of...

He needs to be kept on a medium-length leash by a money-man as CEO. Otherwise he'll fuck up again and spend 98% of his money on Art Assets and Design and 2% on coding tools (i.e. VG Debacle 2.0). The single biggest reason why Vanguard failed was that he tried to do too much - if he had cut out...

When did rabid anti-Semites start taking over re-rolled General? What happened to the rabid liberals? At least they were funny.

Why hasn't this thread been rickshawed for its overwhelming stupidity?

Closed Beta was supposed to start this month. Fortunately for SOE, Winter goes from Dec 21 to March 21, so they have a long time until thereleaseopen beta is actually 'late'.

What a stupid thread. Kudos!
