WoW's approach to Quests is what killed the group-experience. I'm still looking forward for a triple A game where I'm set free from the very first minute with plenty of content (dungeons, solo and group content to do). Problem with all the new MMORPGs is that every player is busy with their...

I find it amusing how people bash "traveling" and demand instant-dungeon-teleportation when at the same time they don't mind the quest-grind-world-of-runcraft where they are forced to travel from point-to-point in a pre-set path to finish "quests". At least for the dungeon I know I want to...

I kind of liked the video (the sandboxiness feel of the game). Is the game that bad?

I'm interested in trying this out, is there any thing I can do to get in Phase 2?

Old WoD as far as I know.

EVE Online Fanfest is almost there, I can't wait to read more about this MMORPG. To me this is the only MMO in development worth waiting for. Anyone knows when CCP is going to hold EVE Online Fanfest?

I agree, small scale events is the way to go in my opinion. I'm tired of huge battles, I've done them in so many games and I've never really felt like there's a war going... my experiences were always laggy, frustrating and "meh"... One other thing, why PvP is considered Combat-Oriented only?

I did and I agree with almost everything he said.

To be honest the Board Game kick starters "kicked" ass. The only video game project that was worth the money was SolForge but even that wasn't as great as some of the Board Game kickstarers.

I'm still waiting for a PvE centric MMORPG and when I say PvE I don't mean the stupid Raiding "end game" or the overwhelmingly boring Quest-Grind-Hub-Infested-Pre-Defined-Paths-Too-Linear-Retarded-Game-Design....

God, the smug... blinding my eyes... I can't see... I CANNOT see!!!! Sometimes I wish the computer-game industry is as creative as the Tabletop game industry in terms of game design. Those guys really think "outside the box" and god damn that's kick ass pun right there.

Yes, but keep in mind some countries are not allowed to use RAF. I know UK is good to go, not sure about some I know plenty of people are stuck and cannot RAF due to their address setting.

I'm interested in going back to GW 2 and give it another shot. Any recommendation on a good class-due combo?

I wouldn't mind a WoW clone if it offered the same quality and content WoW vanilla provided. Problem with most "WoW clones" is lack of options (races, starting areas, classes, zones, dungeons..etc) Emphasis on various starting areas and multiple zone options, we're bored of following one...

I agree. I think ship-boarding should require two things. 1. Ship 2. To position both ships in a parallel way and after successfully initiating a "boarding process" (ropes, hooks, whatever) which attaches both ships together for a little while and during that (and only then) both...

Oh by Cthulhu's sexy balls yes!! and I would definitely want to play a game like this. I also like the idea of establishing a haven to fend off monsters, a small town where players can seek out and work together to build fences and take shifts guarding it from monster-invasion. You' find...

I find it promising that a lot of people are very excited about FF XIV: ARR. Can someone summarize what kind of changes made into ARR that made you get hyped up? (also, when is the estimated release time? 2nd Quarter?)

What about Heterosexual Transvestites/Transgenders? You do realize there are some male-transgenders who actually like girls, right? You cannot ask them to act like "men" and be gay... For one, they're not homosexual and secondly they definitely don't want to be "men" (which is the whole point...

I think there's nothing more risky than trying to do the same thing that didn't work the last 6 years. It's also risky to try something different or new. Remaking EverQuest, in the other hand, we know exactly what we're getting and a few hundred thousand people will play it. It does need...

I remember staying in High Hold keep for weeks in one of my alts, WEEKS. I did it because I "chose" to and I was having a blast. Compare this to all the Worlds of Runcrafts that we've been playing in the last 8 years. In World of Warcraft in particular and because of "kill 10 foozles"...

Lol so true.

Thanks to both of you We will try to avoid doing most "quests" as far as we can and see how it goes. Is there a good dou-able dungeon for level 10-13ish near Three Rivers?

Fair enough, though I find your posts quite productive. It's such a shame you don't feel the same way. It's not my problem that you take analogies literally.

Bingo. Most people who think traveling is boring, they picture World of Warcraft with FedEx/Fetch quests. When you design a game where Traveling is not part of the "Game" (World of Runcraft) where you're hand held to go from quest hub to another then it should work. Throw several...

I've reached a conclusion that you and I want a different game than what the other team wants. Seriously arguing with someone who wants something different explaining them why you think this and that is essential is just useless and a waste of time. We would save a lot of wasted forum discussion...

What we want is very specific. It can be defined as a completely different genre than what MMORPGs actually became. Cut the crap with the sophistication bullshit, it's a game not literature. There are game mechanics that were in older game including EverQuest that I SIMPLY want to experience...

and I completely agree with you. Fact is the majority of people want to be served something that some of us find "lacking". Most people prefer simple things because generally people lack any sort of sophistication. How many people would enjoy the poetry of Baudelaire? or Beethoven sonatas...

Alright I went to Three Rivers area and was wondering if I should take the quests there. Since I hate questing, can I skip these and just roam the land and duo some 3-4 dots without quests? or is it going to reduce the leveling process dramatically?

I beg to differ I guess. Being a Dark Elf killing Orcs in common lands for XP and Faction for freeport is not meaningless to me. I just find it surprising how no one picked up EQ's faction system and expanded on it.

I had a Voodoo 2 but couldn't connect to EQ for months due to ISP problems. Almost lost hope playing the game. :P

Which I believe is the point. Selling millions of copies, doesn't mean the quality of said product is good.

There are millions of Bieber fans, doesn't make his music good. Well, not to me at least. It's funny because I think the majority of people have low standards and bad taste. Same applies to MMORPGs I guess.

Am I the only one who get nauseous every time I read the term "daily"? wait... ahh.. aghh.. *BARFS* Sorry... *BAAARF* god... excuse me. So, Dailies, "Quests", Story, Dynamic-Event, Honor/Ticket/Badges/ and whatever kind of carnival tickets you collect in an "MMORPG" for "loot"... all...

But it's true.

Oh that's very easy but it requires a lot of explanation. What you're asking is a game-design document. Problem with current games is they made every gamer and designer suffer from tunnel-vision. The whole table needs to be wiped so we start from scratch. Heck, take out the table too. The...

Lol @ Count of Mnte Christo Reminded me of my first day in SWTOR (beta) when I was in the canteen and making Eddie Izzard Star Wars Canteen routine and another random stranger actually replying and we ended up doing almost the whole routine :P "Do you know who I am? I run this star."...

Lol is that the "stare at the wall to reduce lag" maneuver? Damn, for me almost all EQ raids were so boring and tedious that I'd rather slam my head to the wall during the whole process.

This "people don't have enough time anymore to play long sessions" is just steaming pile of bullshit. My older brother loves EverQuest and he was addicted to it. He was a middle aged man with 4 children wife and a full time job. But he would never even care to login to a game like WoW to...

My last hope is for World of Darkness the MMORPG (if this project is still going). EverQuest Next, I'm not too excited about except for the IP (let's hope it will be playable) the whole idea of Cash Shop just turns me off. I will be playing it, but not as an EverQuest sequel... just as a...

Didn't he also say that everyone is going to be able to play by the end of 2013 it and it won't be a "Beta" either? which "hinted" that EQ Next is going to be released before the end of 2013.
