So is this worth buying now?

I think it's more about Qatar wanting to build a gas pipeline to ship its gas through Turkey to the EU. They need to go through Syria and Assad is refusing because Russia doesn't want competeting gas pipelines. If Assad would just let Qatar builds its pipeline we coud end WWIII before it begins.

There has to be a way to kill and skin cows for leather. They've mentioned leather couches already. Just rip off Minecrafts uber simple combat. No AI really.

Also news from inside the black box. Landmark isn't officially in Alpha yet, so that Winter Open Beta could really mean December 21st or later.

So is the OP going to put in some links for Landmark and/or a mini-FAQ?

Yes. Good plan.

Yeah, that's never going to happen.

There are five tiers for each class and you need items, abilities and XP to tier up. XP comes from questing but is more AA like in that you can apply the XP gained to any of your classes, not just your current base class. Also we really need to move all the EQ threads into the EQ sub forum. -_-

I suspect EQN is themepark-y, just not as much as the current run of quest-hub MMOs. Whether I'm right is impossible to know because EQN is so far away from relese. But they've promised us: Item progression. Ability progression (in the broadest sense, including thinigs like crafting...

Nice one.

I should have made this a poll option. I think you're correct.

There were 7 EQ related threads on the front page of MMO General this morning. Some are still there (weren't moved over). @Convo vote other.

Draegen prefers the current name, I'm hoping an overwhelming majority disagree and we can convince him to change it to something more general.

Need you or a mod to finish moving the FF threads to the FF forum and EQ threads to EQ forum. Right now we're in bastard hydra land with some threads in the subforum and some not

You are a bad and should feel bad.

There's a reason God made Jack Daniels and Ginger Ale. So they could be mixed together and we could forget about all this shit. SOE just needs to finish EQNext so I can ignore the world for another five years.

I really think we need an Everquest General (EQ, EQ2, EQ Prog, EQ Emu, EQMac, EQN, EQN/L and of course EQ in a Browser) as posted in the FFXIV sub forum thread. But not a subforum of MMO General, same level as MMO General. There are 8 threads on the front page and the Red99 thread on page 2...

I'm not sold on the chem attack because Assad was (is) winning the war. He doesn't need to resort to a chemical attack. Rebels, OTOH, need the US to intervene.

Yes it would be nice to go to war with at least a little discussion amongst our betters first /sarc I am going to point out the obvious that we seem to have been gearing up to go into Syria even before the recent video - there were already military advisors in Jordan advising FSA. We were...

A little bit too much for my taste. But at least I can grind the adventurer class and maybe crafting tiers (if they roll over as well) until I get bored of making Ogre Condos.

Yes. I actually agree with the PvPers that a pure sandbox game should have PvP. Yet another reason I'm not sold on sandboxes.

Looking like bad timing.

So I was just reminded that Syria still has smallpox stores. If Assad starts to lose who knows what he'll do. I'd rather we just stay away, I'm not even sure if I was ever vaccinated against it.

I see you're still tweeting Brad ;-) Or was that from earlier this week?

Interesting comment given that Butler (Creative Director) and Michaels (Producer) are so much closer to the product than Omeed (Marketing) and Georgeson (Director of Development).

As long as being "well versed on all the issues" doesn't require spending more than two minutes on any particular article.

The Internet has given everyone ADHD.

I hate pure sandparks. Minecraft bored me to tears. Not enough direction. I dislike pure themeparks. Vanilla WoW was far too directed (particulary as the game progressed), so it too become boring. EQ and VG represented a nice in-between with EQ a little more sandboxy and VG a little more...

Good to see you and I are fighting about a bullshit study instead of agreeing that Obama's decision to go after Syria is beyond retarded. Divide and conquer.

Bullshit study. They were given false choices between: Bush, Nobody or Obama. If they felt someone who was not Bush was responsible the logical response is Obama given that Dems were in power in LA back then.

There are lots of reasons to wag the dog. My current favorite the major aquifier that serves the midwest will be gone in 50 years.http://www.sfgate.com/news/science/a...rs-4762318.php

Missing all the hate arrows from everyone but the US pointing to Israel.

I'd think real estate dealing would be more profitable than crafting. Could be wrong.

Staying out is the option least likely to lead to WW3. Again, I really don't see any reason we should be in Syria. Assad is an asshole, but then so are lots of other leaders.

Good question to tweet StoryBricks. EQN should be able to handle the entire range of ADD alignments.

Well hopefully we're wrong and they go all out and that after you get the Weapon you still have to go on a class specific quest?

I thought they mentioned it at SOELive - as one of their "for example but this doesn't mean it is in the game" like they did with Paladin and SK.

If they do I think it would fall under Authored Content. So a mix of crafting stuff + actual quests. However, I also don't think Epics will show up until a year or so after Release ;-)

Why do they have to create 40 epic quests? Assuming epics are in the game, isn't it sufficient to create an epic quest for each of the (IIRC 17 or 18) weapon types? So Gogojira the Ranger gets the epic Twin Suns (Dual-wielded swords). But Twin Suns is the Dual-wield epic usable by any...

At this point there is nothing to be gained going after Assas. The AQ brigades that are running most of the rebels now are worse than he is. Maybe if we'd supported the moderate FSA before they got the shit kicked out of them....
