    Ultima Online Forever - UO Forever - Launches 01/18

    Initial plans are for a few of us, in the group I'm playing with, to roll characters with Lumberjacking/Bowery, Fletching as it appears this is the fastest way to make gold with a starting character. I will be doing this until our guild has the gold to buy a vendor house (hopefully at the Yew...

    Ultima Online Forever - UO Forever - Launches 01/18

    It's UO. Some people will say the primary focus is PvP but for me, it can be either PvP or PvE since UO has one of the better PvE models of most MMO's. The server is set in the time period of about UO:R with a number of additions. Also, the server is Felucia (PvP) no Trammel (PvE only) and...

    EQ Never

    Yeah you aren't 22 anymore but there are a bunch of 22yr olds now who do have the time.

    EQ Never

    Says you. Personally I like AC's graphics from that era more than EQ's. AC had a harder time than EQ because yes it had it's own world and lore as well as not being based off of traditional fantasy. Another issue was Microsoft as the publisher and them not pushing the game at all.

    EQ Never

    Although your first point is correct, FFA PvP servers are all about ganking and griefing, your second point is incorrect. Not all games change their PvE to balance PvP. Asheron's Call didn't and we PvPers didn't care. Also who the fuck says you can't have unique classes? That's one of the...

    Comic Books

    I'm sorry but the whole thing is just fucking retarded. Why oh why can't they find decent writers anymore? Instead we get really bad shit like The Clone Wars, A New Day and whatever the fuck this story is. I mean really, Doc Ock is Spidey? As a long time Spider-Man fan and collector...

    Also the prelude to the spiders of Mirkwood maybe?

    The Hobbit

    You are correct, it wasn't "The Hobbit". Ironically, Tolkein tried to update The Hobbit in the 60's to probably a version much more like this but after only writing three chapters many people rejected it because it wasn't the light hearted book it used to be anymore so he abandoned it.

    Nah, anyone who played DF1 should know this is pretty much standard for Aventurine.

    MTG thread

    SCG Invitational was this weekend. Watched it on and off again on Twitch. Really liked the Kibler G/B deck and it's cheap (under $200) so I bought it for FNM in January.

    Don't worry, the Ravens will just go get Teebo after the Jets let him go at the end of the season.

    So New Orleans has to have NY, MN and CHI all go 0-2 the next two weeks.

    The Hobbit

    Saw it opening night on Friday and loved it. My only complaint was that I could never adjust to the 48fps on close ups and action scenes so they all became blurry and hard to watch. Other than that, the 3d was incredibly sharp and beautiful. Also, I think PJ did the opening sequence as a...

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    So per the Massively post above, this had nothing to do with MS, just Turbine bringing it back from the dead.

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    From what I've read the server they opened up is set to their last build before the game was canceled so I would say nothing since 2005.

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    I would absolutely die for an AC3. Of all the major game companies that make MMO's LotRO was Turbines last forary into it and that was 2007. They have released expansions and updates to their games but not a new MMO. Would be so great if the rumors were true.

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    To people who played EQ and never AC1, yes you would say there were geometry exploits but to people who played AC1, these were not exploits. In AC1 it was not considered exploiting to jump up on a building or tower and shoot down at mobs without them being able to hit at you. In fact it was...

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    I think all of us would rather see classic UO, AC, EQ and DAoC but EA, Turbine and SOE really don't want to put the effort and $ into making that happen. As for AC2, the two main reasons why it floundered were: 1) It was a completely different skill system from AC and almost a completely...

    Darkfall Unholy Wars

    Well for me Turbine beat aaventurine to the punch. I'd much rather be playing AC2 than beta testing DF. Let us know how the beta goes but I'm not holding my hopes up.

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    Damage Inc AC2 stream I streamed about an hour of me playing AC2 tonight with a guildmate. Go to about the 7 minute mark, as I was going between a human and Lugian and that's when I just played the Lugian. Sorry forgot I had my mic muted on X-Split so you only here the guy I'm playing with...

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    Yup, AC2 has returned or at least one server for now. Turbine Forums, AC2 returns Rolled a Lugian and hit level 7 before posting this. You basically just need to pay $9.99 for AC1 to be able to play AC2, first month is free.

    Darkfall Unholy Wars

    From DF1, I enjoyed the combat and the world but if you're looking for a game without many bugs, DF is not for you. In fact, the first few months of DF Europe were all about finding bugs and exploiting the crap out of them. Which is pretty much what this DF is going to be as well. Do you...

    The Hobbit

    Were the Hobbit appendices done before or after the Lord of the Rings trilogy was written? I ask this because before the trilogy, Bilbo getting the ring from Golum is completely different. It wasn't until after the publishing company asked for a follow up story that the current version...
