Taxi? Yeah. Did you do something amusing with it or was it just one of Kegz' meltdown bans?

What did you do with my druid? :P

Because it takes weeks to plan, design, program, test and implement new content, so doing it on a whim based on current fads is a huge gamble. You risk having wasted all that time and effort because the playerbase has lost interest by the time your shit is ready. You'll never keep pace with...

Two of the three attacks in the basic rotation are high-enmity. Those are your main enmity abilities.

At least twice a month I take a moment to commemorate the spectacular and satisfying failure of this server. It's just such superb justice for this utter imbecile to have wasted a shitload of time and money only to blow it so resoundingly by being a useless, despicable peson who cares more about...

The difference has always been considerably less than 20%. We're talking almost the same base mitigation and like 10% more health, with self-heals/shielding compensating for the lack of block. Insulting me doesn't make you more right, especially when you're wrong. Only makes you look like a...

WoW tanks have the same hp, more or less the same armor and avoidance, and differ only by a few defining things like a couple of tanking cooldowns or the block mechanic. Guys, WoW is a game that's specifically known for making the classes as similar as possible. To call the FFXIV classes equally...

It's not as though the only difference is that one class gets 20% more mitigation while the other gets correspondingly higher health. It's not at all like WoW's DK vs. paladin, those two classes had almost identical defensive stats and only differed in minor ways. That's exactly why they were...

What are your thoughts on the tanks? Clearly paladin is going to be the favored main tank for bosses, but can warriors do it well enough to not be a second rate tank? It really seems to me that it's set up to become a bit like EQ's warriors vs. knights, the latter only being good for tanking...

There's definitely something to be said for tradition and simplicty, but I think they'll have trouble maintaining prolonged success with a game that's this simple (primitive is the word, really) in 2013. A lot of what made Everquest great was that it was just so new and captivating because...

Does the game get more complex later on? I tried it for a few hours this morning and it was so primitive that it seemed like a game for little children. I get that the first like 20 levels are sort of a tutorial, but I looked at the later skills and they don't appear to get any more involved. I...

Wait, so is it too late to get into the head start if you haven't already pre-ordered and everything?

Why the fuck would they extend the beta into ultra-offpeak hours? So meaningless. Add a whole day or don't even bother, anything else is just insulting and displays their complete lack of regard for the customer's needs. It's like a restaurant that has run out of forks so instead they give...

Failserver 2013 is on its last leg. Quoting Kegz: He's also apparently claiming to possibly start working for SOE soon, which is so abjectly unlikely that I have to assume it's another one of his countless lies to flatter himself and to excuse the death of his server. TD;DR: server is about...

It's like when schools ban something they know can't be stopped, such as sagging jeans, just to get the parents to shut up about it.

Same can be said for GW2 or literally any other game that has classes and items and abilities at all. My point is that if this is gonna be another "MMORPG" where progression is depleted after two weeks and there's zero effort or prestige involved in getting the best of the best, it'll be dead...

Haven't really been following this shit and I don't care to track down the info -- is this gonna be another MMORPG with no long-term progression, like GW2, which means all real MMORPG-players quit after two weeks because there's no gaming satisfaction from continued play? And then all that's...

Logged in earlier to glance at the numbers and the server is just so dead. Doubt it gets much more than 50 players at peak now. Such a monumental failure.

And the whole world nodded knowingly, unsurprised.

No wai, dawg. It has about 300 people playing and having a blast, Kegz said so himself. When has he ever lied to us?

Kegz, your AC testing consists of three samples performed with a level 11 warrior. Stop acting like you got it right. You got literally nothing else right on your disastrous failure of a server. Why don't you fix it instead of trying to save face (which is impossible by now, come on) by touting...

That's just such a low standard to hold games to, though. If a game is fine as long as it's worth the box price, can a game even really be bad by that metric? Compared to other forms of conventional entertainment, a $60 game would only have to be fun for like four hours before it has fulfilled...

80% of those players were running around in Lake Rathe and shit like that. It's kind of hilarious of you to accuse me of not having played classic EQ and then in the next sentence you display you ignorance of the defining difference between emulated EQ and actual classic EQ. The only thing worse...

It can only be better than last season, particularly the finale. They'd have to try very hard in order to prevent season 4 from being an improvement.

Same players, different guild. It's not TMO's fault, it's the developers' fault for refusing to acknowledge a server-breaking problem that stems not from the playerbase's inability to cooperate but from the dev team's inability to sufficiently emulate the fact that Everquest had like two dozen...

So this show seems to have fizzled out completely. There was initial hype due to the popularity of Stephen King, and the show got that weird kind of automatic praise that some things get before people have even seen it, like reviewers had written their "this is great" reviews before it even...

He has clearly grown bored of it but won't admit it. Nothing makes any sense if that was his stance from the beginning, and it's clear that it wasn't. All this "I won't actually host the server or make the database" crap came up fairly recently after the project had stagnated (again). He has...

What's the game like these days? I used to play a lot and then stopped fairly abruptly two years ago. I occasionally want to give it a shot again, but then I imagine the surely 30+ new champions and other shit that I'd have to get used to before I would even have a chance to compete on a level...

Really worrying how Sirken completely fails to understand the source of the age-old P99 content problem and thinks it's up to the players to solve the problem of there not being enough content in the game. They've done nothing to try to emulate the fact that EQ had like two dozen servers, but...

This show bears so little resemblance to the book that using the same title is just wildly misleading, bordering on false advertisement. Literally nothing in this entire episode took place in the book. Not a single scene. They've kept nothing except the basic concept of the dome as well as some...

You're one of those internet contrarians, aren't you? The type of person who sits on a forum and categorically disagrees with every post in order to feel smart, twisting people's words and meanings into something that can easily be disputed. Your posts have no real substance, you just cherrypick...

I have plenty of gripes with it, enough to write three beefy pages, but the one you refer to is not exclusively about a ladder but about the complete absence of any goal in the game. The best and easiest way for them to remedy this would be to start doing ladder seasons like in D2, but it's not...

I gave it a shot on softcore and it was pretty awful. And that was with a ranged character, a FPer at that, so I can only imagine it'd be even worse for melee. Basically, without immunity, literally half of incoming attacks will stun you. The ES mechanic has a built-in 50% chance to avoid...

I foolishly give the game half a chance every few months just because I still can't believe how much of a disappointment it was, and every time I'm stunned at how poorly they did. They got the mechanics right and then completely failed to actually create some kind of purpose for the game. I'm...

My problem with it is that it's another in a long line of MMORPGs that were intentionally half-assed. This is not a game made by people trying to make the best game they can make, this is a game made by people trying to minimize cost and implement as many cash grabs as at all possible. It's the...

Anyone could literally slap up a stock PEQ server and thus have contributed more than you by virtue of not being a vile, psychopathic cunt. Your server is maybe 10% better than basic PEQ, and you've single-handedly destroyed any chance of people volunteering to improve it by being an absolute...

I do feel a strange need to thank him for the week's worth of casual entertainment provided by his presence on this forum. His stupidity and hamfisted attempts at promoting his own server has been much more interesting than actually playing that pile of garbage. It's like a car crash where you...

I genuinely think Kegz is the most incompetent and most ill-suited administrator I've ever seen in any form of online endeavour involving more than a handful of people.

Quotes from the server's own forum: But don't worry. Kegz swears there are hundreds online. Must be a /roleplaying server...

I'm a moderator on several other forums. A poster's IP means fuck-all these days, most everybody has at least two internet connections (computer and phone) as well as easy access to proxies etc. Either Johanna is the world's most obvious alt account or Kegz is literally telling that person...
