    Seems possible. Maybe I'm wrong here.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    The administration doesn't give a fuck about the first amendment and the courts are upholding this bullshit. And people wonder why a bunch of us think we're in a police state.

    Really? I actually thought that was one of the most reasonable decisions they made. Bambi still looks good, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within looks like shit. I don't think anyone will give a shit about the models after playing for a while, except maybe the Ogre-Orc (haven't seen Troll)...

    If Mughal is right, and I've got no reason to think otherwise, ArcheAge is unlikely to happen.

    Give it a rest buddy. If I owned Sony stock I'd be happy with EQN, I don't so I have a couple of gamer concerns. Up top night is not totally black, caves will require light sources (said at one of the panels).

    There is xp for completing rallying calls, quests and a few other things. It's more like aa though as you can spend it on whatever class you want (that you own).

    You don't have to use it - but I'm pretty sure that's the goal otherwise why the emphasis at the reveal. I sure as hell am not using soemote.

    Depends on how you define immersion. You all do realize sony is going full Avatar on this game? They don't want type chat. They want you using soemote and voice chat and oculus rift/fpv.

    There is no auto attack. Mobs don't sit around letting you wail on them. Snare and slow for the win. Also I am the king of auto attack so I feel for you.

    Good to know that Euroguilds will still be able to get first crack at content when a server restarts! Conquest will be happy.

    Massively confirms closure of SD Studio. Defiance development moved to Redwood City. http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/08...akes-ceo-role/ Time for SOE to stepup and acquire devs for eqn.

    We know one Blizz exec somehow saw EQN at E3, but I think Mughal has given us the correct timeline/project split and that Titan remains another IP. But Blizz is indeed now working on WoM.

    Ah, okay I'm going to accept your version of events and assume there are indeed at least two "MMOish" projects at Blizzard: Titan 2.0 and WoM. Thanks for the clarification.

    Speaking of rumours. EQN/Landmark beta next month. EQN beta ???? (I'm still going to guess a very closed beta by January given the current SOE time frame).

    Nah. It wasn't WoM. But as you know once the Blizz exec saw EQN at E3 they immediately killed the Titan project. So the old project is gone and the new project is World of Minecraft. At least that's my guess. I still want to know how the hell that exec saw EQN at E3 when the rest of us got...

    Who thinks WoW 2 (aka Titan) will be EQ Next but with some additional on-the rail changes? Or maybe you can go 4 levels down, instead of 3.

    We haven't shut down 23 embassies and yelled about how dangerous AQ was. Indeed, Obama said AQ was on the run back in 2012. Many, many, many times. Dave, can we go to playback -> 30 seconds in.

    Too bad. Jerrithorn was working there, IIRC. I note that StoryBricks just tweeted to the laid off devs to apply for SB EQN jobs. Edit: As did Blizzard for their projects. Edit: Looks like whole SD studio has been shuttered. Defiance/EoN going to be shutdown or moved?

    Couldn't agree more. I can only assume most modern MMO game designers are bad at math ;-) (look at the Blizzard Arcanite Reaper debacle).

    Side note It will be interesting to see how SOE deals with hacking. Seems like a ripe environment for MQ/Ghost?? (wtf it was called) and all the other hacking bullshit that fucked up EQ.

    I don't talk day to day with Al-Qaeda leaders (sorry NSA asshole who is following this thread) but I'm going to guess from the fact that we've been drone-bombing them for years and AQ seems as strong as ever that it's not as demoralizing as you think. When you're 18, living in Yemen, and...

    I don't agree with Erronius on much, but he's right here. This is one of the two reasons I quit WoW (the other being the nerfs to all the interesting items/weapon/world).

    I will say EQN will have one aspect of EQ in it. I'm guessing slow will be the uber spell and Slowers will be required.

I don't think anyone on this board disagrees that getting a small group of skilled players to accomplish a difficult test is harder than former EQ zerg raiding. On the other hand, MMOs also have a social element, and I'd rather an...

    Rift was full of tired and/or gimmicky mechanics. It was obvious in beta, so I saw no need to play the game. I'm not a huge Hartsman fan. I gather he did good stuff on EQ2, but Rift did not/does not impress.

    LOL. I wouldn't go that far, but yes I think Smed has made some pretty bad decisions on his watch but he keeps getting lucky, so I don't see him going anytime soon.

    Vibe was no paying for races/classes. Bag space maybe, but they want people to start playing the game, so there will be no roadblocks like paying for Ratonga or Trolls - but fat troll cosmetic skin? Why not.

    I suspect they're (SB & SOE) are trying to put in old-style AD&D combat where the DM ran the Dragon/Orcs intelligently. Healing was pretty limited back in the day and it was heavily positional. We'll see how well that works.
