We shall call this the .38S philosophy. Good luck with that.

I'm thinking it might be easier just to sub for a month, and get my Consular and Marauder to 55 that way, plus you get ROTHC free that way, correct?

So you essentially sent 20 dollars to a rich guy for making good products he was well compensated for in the past? Do you also send Bill Gates a Christmas Card and check every year, too?

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't. In regards to pissing off those who have played a ton of DAOC before and aren't really excited about leveling to 50, and now have to grind in a traditional group setting, it really does. I couldn't log in due to server snafus, so I get to grind to 50...

So I have 3 characters at 49+. I've noticed none have access to 50+ or Rise of the Hut content. if I sub for a month will that content remain available after my sub expires? nm, google is your friend: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=679074

Leveling in DAOC generally sucks. Gear will come, but 40-50 is a pain. The zerg should've been left alone, especially since you have a ton of 50s and a lot of other people who weren't even able to log in due to problems with release, who might not bother to log in now. They should have toned...

It worked for Mythic and EQ at release. Why not Origins? I haven't been able to even log in, yet.

That may be the nicest quote about Vanguard's release I've ever seen. Vanguard was a steaming pile of garbage at release, and remained that way basically forever. Dislike Hartsman all you want but he fixed EQ2, he delivered a bug free good release in Rift, and he generally seems to be...

But I'm old and suck at all of those. Give me back my camps and gear based pwnage. Same. Hartsman's leadership and PM skills can't be denied. As a designer and MMO player, he isn't 'us'. He lacks 'vision', as can be seen from Rift which was streamlined but pretty much copy and pasted MMO Design...

This has been repeated by about a quarter of the posters here. There is healthy debate, you know. If only you had posted just this initially, and not the rest of the insider, I got contacts, super spy, silly bullshit. The simple truth is if you do, I'm sure they'd appreciate you not being a...

Ironically enough, almost everyone I know who enjoys Dark Souls is an ex EQ or DAOC player. I really hope you played through this game, even though it's a grinder. The atmosphere and setting are *perfect* for an MMO. The traps, environment, characters, and everything are so reminiscent of...

Subclassing keeps the base of a class and adds more variety. More options are a good thing.

This is the most interesting part of the thread so far. Given the hooks to SOE and the friendship between Smed and Brad I'm really curious why they wouldn't give him a deal and support for this, especially since there are probably people looking for work near SOE who could use a job at VR...

I'm so leveling my Scout first if that's the case. Damn work. Damn SQL errors. I needz some levels.

I'd guess Brad could pick up the phone and call and get a better deal simply due to his background. Hero engine took off after SWTOR, and I guarantee EA isn't paying them 7% off the top. They'd get even more free pub with this game. I don't see any MMOs using Unity, but given the teams...

Oh yeah. Anyways, My complaints are simply that their kickstarter seems to be starting completely at ground zero. They are not really selling anything because they have nothing. It would've been nice to have a website, an initial concept plan, and maybe even a really early design document up...

What the game really needs for it's first quest!

You missed the entire TESO thread, didn't you?

Except we'd never make anything on our KS. It's the same deal with actors and movies.. Name recognition equals dollars from the masses.

Reinstalled everything, and see my game server account isn't listed on the game forums anymore, probably due to the wipe. I tried to recreate and now I'm getting a SQL connect error to the DB from the main site. I'll wait until this afternoon and try again.

It's not good compared to the novels which were amazing, but as an adaptation it was fun to watch and was somewhat close to how I envisioned many of the parts. Since I'm a huge Frank Herbert fan and read all the Dune novels, then the movie was really lacking comparitively. You just can't...

I'm fine with a generic world and going old school MUD. My big problem here is Jacobs and Garriot went into this full bore with tech, art, and a deep plan, as well as a sense of urgency. I don't get that feeling from this kickstarter, and I wish they had more than a weeks work done before trying...

yeah, I tried to log into mine today and it's telling me the password is incorrect so I think they have a DB snafu going on.

I expect the first week to be pretty dodgy.I don't think their stress test was very stressful. I have my account created but I'm waiting for the server to be a bit more stable before I try to do anything ingame.

That's a good sign. Any idea what the realm populations look like right now?

I'm curious how combat is at 50 compared to 5? I only played a few hours, and I was really bored to tears. Granted, this was months ago, and I didn't dig very deep. The new first person mode is a step in the right direction. I don't have any issues with the graphics, just hope they keep...

I had no ping issues with ED. My biggest concern would be a cease and desist from Blizz which seems likely for a US based EMU. If I wasn't about to fire up DAOC Origins I'd probably start a fresh character here. Sad that most of my MMO fun the last 4 years has been from EMUs.

I think his point was the Dems had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and controlled the House and passed the Affordable Care Act without a single R vote. If this is the case, they should've just went with single payer if that's what they wanted.

I did Emerald Dream until 30ish and had fun, but the pop was pretty low at times. If you have a group of friends with an EMU that'll actually hang around, I don't see a downside. Since there's no reason to not do Emerald <no P99 silly mudflation, pre nerf Guises, Manastones, etc or huge...

Sorry, my focus is onthis bad boy. Blackwulf, I'm a very open guy. My biggest issue right now is to me fighting feels boring and sluggish. I like the character advancement, and I can deal with the graphics, but really are you ok with the actual combat? Not the system but how it feels.

With the exception of Andrew Luck, most QBs coming out of college are in no way prepared for the NFL. I think the best method is to get the best vet QB on the market and plug him in and try to develop a second or third rounder in house. Use that first round pick on a blue chip lineman, LB, or...

On this note per Schefter: Vikings have requested and received permission to interview Browns OC Norv Turner for Minnesota OC job, per source.

I know nothing about the movie, but this is frickin awesome

Is Dalton really the answer in Cinci? He strikes me as good enough to occasionally get you in the playoffs, but not clutch, and not talented enough to do anything while there. I think he's a downgrade from Carson Palmer.

I'm not sure what your point is there. I think you are reading far too much into diary entries from an actor generally considered to be overtly critical in those. He pretty much had bad things to say in his diary for every movie he's done, and many actors and directors. He said the best line of...

I personally like Caldwell. I'm curious if the coordinators are more important than the HC? Part of me wonders if Parcells success was in large part due to his staff. Ditto with Dungy.

The NFL HOF isn't about stats, though. Gore is a tough question. He's been a workhorse. He does remind me of Emmit Smith. Definitely a tough question whether he should be in or not. The only current NFL RB I'd put in the HOF definitely though is Adrian Peterson. I think Steven Jackson would...

I was thinking more of a place for interaction with the devs, stickies for the game, and also to break up this monster thread. This game is sort of unique in that we do have Brad and the other people here, which would make a subforum busier than the entire MMO forum here, I bet. How many posts...

I had that graphical tearing in the original DAOC with my NVIDIA card. I currently don't have any tearing with my 7970 at all. I'm curious if there's a specific issue, a la multi monitor, higher resolutions, etc. I have had no graphical issues. I only played 2 hours but I did hit level 5 in...
