Seems like a honest, yet annoying review....

I hate to keep bumping this thread but for some reason it keeps being brought back up around work.... Just how true is this video? It sounds absolutely great in theory but for someone reason I'm just not buying it....

Preach brother.. preach :) I think for most media outlets it has this way for awhile. It was like this when Archeage, Aion, etc. were starting to release their information. I guess media outlets believe it makes their posts/vlogs look nice to showcase these really beautiful looking, action...

Yeah, let me clarify. I believe a game like we are describing has the potential to hit those numbers. Just trying to emphasis that IF a game took the risk, game companies can't start wrecking their plans and visions just because they don't have 10-12 million subs. Again I think the time is...

Agreed... but will Pantheon stick to their guns. I'm strictly playing devil's advocate and looking back at the last ten years of MMO's. I keep telling people, that I think people are ready for this and they want it. I hope that's true as it's hard to really take our circles and know for a...

You may be right... I've always felt that it would work today but again my concern is that no one in the gaming world thinks it will work to at a least achieve the profit they're looking for out of the gate. I'm probably not articulating my points very well and it's also probably at little...

Not what i'm saying and you actually said something very similar to my point. I'm simply saying that if you equate success to being 10+ millions subs you can't rely on our demographic because even at our peak that's half a million people. So while our demographic certainly play games like LoL...

Not unpopular in my opinion but spot on. She did well relating to the tradeskillers and some of the stay-at-home's that tinkered in the houses. Don't get me wrong, I think housing was a fantastic feature and no one has done it better but they really took a lot of areas of EQ that were just the...

I don't want to get into a generational thing but the truth is the EQ target audience had different expectations of gaming. Prior to EQ, most people were use to investing a decent amount of time into games. It didn't matter if you played table top D&D or grew up on The Legend of Zelda, you...

Sounds like a typical SoE/DBG move to me. :) Oh well... sad it's spoiling the experience for these people. It's the one thing that EQ has going for it.

Here's a summary... July 17th is the release date. March 13th is their major update and changes with a wipe. Not further wise following the July 17th which tells me they may wipe for release possible. The update comes with UI change, update change, and a few other player requested...

I've really heard mixed reviews about this game. Not the game was bad necessarily but they're still waiting for some changes. It has always intrigued me somewhat but I just can't tell if it's better than what Runescape has already established or if it has it's own thing going?

I like competitive raiding myself. I really like what Kunark started (and other expansions added) did by adding dragons wandering around the open world. You think about Gorenaire, Woushi, and Western Wastes in general and what that added to the game was pretty cool. I think it adds to the...

Curious how Homestead is working out? Better or worse than EQ2 housing (sorry that's the only standard I have to go by). PvP worth a dime? Are they really going to try Morrowind? Curious how they pull that off in MMO form. Community rolling their eyes or excited?

So i'm assuming they're getting more and more funding? Staff doesn't come cheap.

Domino and Seed been pretty active and quite bold in they tweets and replies tonight. Here is just one that I thought was slightly amusing...

I see... shame it's not more part of the game. Could be a good thing if you have enough people willing to make something of it but that may be an idea a decade or two too old now :(

Also, could someone elaborate to how much these actually come into play? Player-Owned City

Do you mean that in a good way? How is the community? I've really been struggling thinking of something new to do but can't decide between Runescape or Albion. Runescape seems much more solidified and a larger player base but I know nothing about either of them.

Just curious... how many people are working on H1Z1? Didn't they have a pretty important dev pass away? Curious if they expect H1Z1 to continue to progress and evolve to a bigger, better game? As I said previously, I really enjoy the game but there's a lot of little things you have to...

King of the Kill is a blast if you are looking for a quick fix, adrenaline rush type of game. If you have friends to run 2-5's and means to communicate via discord or whatever, it can are really fun. It is a little messy at times and stuff isn't perfect by any stretch but it's one thing they...

Is there home / village / guild hall building? Much PvP? Someone actually brought this game up to me earlier this week. Though they said complimentary things about NXT, they still preferred the original look and feel.

I would say locations are beginning to receive their demo Switch or maybe certain media events are starting to see them drop. It's 2 weeks away so that's really not all that far out. Looks good. I like how "snappy" it seems to be and everything appears to click and respond well. Honestly...

If Smed has good people under him and can keep his nose clean in social media he'll probably be fine. He's a little volatile at times and I really don't know how in touch he is with the MMO community. I'll say this... i'm not going to get a game just because his name is on it. I really...

The interface would be a great start and getting some of the AA's consolidated or simply absorbed into certain levels or achievements. I think they could take some of them and completely consolidate them into single points. They should design a tree similar to EQ2 and just have people put sets...

It's horrible timing. Makes you feel like you're not getting your moneys worth. No reason why the game couldn't soak for 6-8 months and then bring this out. To announce DLC prior to the game even hitting the shelves makes me feel like I'm not getting what I paid for... I'll admit Nintendo...

While i'm having a really fun time being a noob on Phinny, i'm looking forward to the next TLP that is more like this one. I did RF/LJ and they were a mess for whatever reason and didn't hold my attention very long. The community on Phinny just seems much, much better. I get casual groups...

Maybe i'm just simply drawing a blank (have some vague memories) but with did LoY and LDoN bring to EQ? I remember Froglocks and some instances but honestly, as they're the next expansions to be unlocked on Phinny, I simply can't remember the big draw in terms of Equipment and/or Quests...

I see groups forming all the time. Levels vary and as long as you are in the right channels, they seem to be pretty steady.

Incredibly generous of you and greatly appreciate it! +1 :) I can at least get some spells going and few items!

I loved all the epics. It was a very impactful touch to the game. Added something visually special to our characters that wasn't present at that time in MMOs. Even now they make weapons or appearance slot that make everything "epic" looking which I think hurts the feel now. The quests...

Ended up rolling a Necro and a Ranger as I never really played either of them back in the day. Not sure if we have a group, guild, channel, whatever but if anyone starting up or have some trash items they want to donate give me a yell. Necro - Muligrim Ranger - Quivr

Finally logged on but I have no clue what to be for Phinigel. I've played a healer in every game since 1999 and really just want to turn my brain off and play. Didn't want to get pigeon-holed into a solo class as I may want to group some. Bard, Ranger, or any other suggestions that I can solo...

Maybe i'm way off base here and in the minority but I find it such a waste of time to put together something like this that really has no insight to how the game will play, look, feel, etc. It's too staged and overdone. I would rather see 30 people attempting to manage secondary mobs while...

Sounds about right... :)

Anyone receiving connection errors? Been receiving "Error - A Timeout Occurred" all morning.

Do they have any plans to bring this into the multiplayer space? Seems like it could make a significant chunk of change if they could generate some servers or allow players to join servers al a Minecraft. Definitely an interesting game and has a lot of replay value.

Just happen to pop up on my YouTube feed but one thing EQ2 did well was a solid soundtrack. It is a shame that EQ2 went up against WoW in that same month as the timing was working against them. There was so many frustrations with EQ and SoE as a company, people were simply burned out, and...

New screenshot comparison from Zelda Informer the other day.
