Well thank god you realize that. VG"s first and biggest mistake was saying "we will have X races in Y sq. km space" and not wavering until it was too late. Start small and get it right and then expand as much as possible until you have to launch. I guess that"s the Pardo Method, but damn if it...

Durabilty isn"t nearly as complex. It"s just a single variable that lowers and raises. When it hits zero then the item is ineffective. Tradable decay with different max stats changes every item stat from a set value to a variable. So instead of being able to simply reference an item ID and...

The market was really poised for a WoW. People had been interested in online games for the past 5-7 years. Many were turned off by certain aspects of the previous games, such as the gankfests that UO could be or the poopsocking of EQ. WoW came alone with a strong formula that appealed to casuals...

The name may have gotten quite a few people to try it out. What it didn"t do is keep them there, the game itself did that. It also didn"t make them tell their friends how fun it was, the game did that. The name may get people in the door, it"s the game that keeps them in the house.

They took out the spellbook medding thing long before WoW. Luclin/PoP travel came long before WoW as well. But you are right in way, people have changed. They changed because they have seen what other ways things can be done and they like them that way much better. Maybe not everyone, just like...

I just don"t think people should make a game with numbers in mind. Don"t tailor your game to a theoretical playerbase, let the playerbase tailor itself to your game. Make the game you want to, make a game you will play. Make something you are proud to have your name attached to and have no...

Okay, now you are scaring me.

What you are basically asking is for them to delay developing an MMO for nearly 10 years. If they spend the the next 2-3 years making an RPG, seeing how it does, making a sequel for 2-3 years and seeing how that does then spending 3-4 years on an MMO, it could be nearly 2020 before they release.

Well, whatever it is.. I just hope there is a loot called "a bloody sock".

Pretty cool stuff. Fall of 2010. It was on CNBC so that makes it official. Anything later is failure!

I"m pretty sure that Curt is a big boy and is more than capable of deciding when he can spare 5 minutes a week to peruse a thread on the internet. I"m not sure what freaking business it is of anybody else, but trying to run off one of the few industry people that is fun to read posts from is...

Well, I"m sure Curt isn"t doing any actual coding, or concept art or writing design docs. It"s not like he is wasting all his precious dev time talking here. Not like he has much to do day-to-day anyway, that"s what managers and staff are for. So he posts once a week on the FoH boards and has a...

Now if your game is as polished as the website, you should be golden!

Holy shit! Munch ate my mouse cursor! That"s bloody awesome.

I have a question. How many teammates do you have (or have had) who play MMOs as well? What about non-teammates in MLB, or just celebrities in general that you mingle with?

He said "weren"t", not were. Others made the same mistake.

It"s the Abyss. Or a really cheap clone. YouTube - The Abyss (Director"s Cut version) - Bud and the Aliens At about 5:35 in, this exact scene occurs. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mYD6CC2GdNc"></param><param name="wmode"...

List of Sci Fi Pictures original films - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia See if any of those ring a bell maybe?

I fully expect a patch to remove the hybrid penalties soon.

Holy shit he spelled grey instead of gray.. that means everything he has ever said is full of shit! The proof is right there in that one letter!

I"m with you on most stuff, but let"s be real. Brad simply cannot (or will not at least) come here and say "We know we released the game 6 months early, it"s a pile of shit right now and you need a Cray to play it effectively, but please buy it and play anyway so that we can get the money to...

I don"t think they should even worry about some mythical fantasy numbers a year away and instead should focus on keeping what they have. If they can creep up to 250k within a year, then it"s a start.. and since that"s all he needs to satisfy the investors, it should take a little heat off of...

It depends. Is your microwave from China?

Only noobs use forks, pros use the spork. All the versatilty of a spoon with the precision of a fork. And you should probably stick to grinding out levels on mashed potatoes if you can"t even keep your broccoli on the plate.

He has a right to complain about broccoli if he wants to. This is the place for "Rants, Flames, Whines, and(if you really want to)Valid Discussions."

Heh, I"ll never forget the original BoE fiasco. Patch goes live, nothing about every item in game becoming BOE in the notes of course. ("Don"t worry guys we know we need to work on our patch note process and it"s being addressed right now!" - how"s that new process working out btw?) Instant 20...

It came from Brad. You should probably take your meds now. You make Utnayan sound sane.

You mean Jerrith? He was "let go" i.e. fired? Fucking ridiculus.

Couldn"t or wouldn"t? Just because someone may get frustrated and bored with something doesn"t mean it is beyond their capacity, it just means that the product failed to deliver an enjoyable experience that encourages them to keep trying.

It"s already as easy as WoW, if not easier, it"s just more time consuming (for now).

Can you really blame people for thinking the things they do? By your own admission, 3 expansions in a row were "unfinished" while the PR coming from SOE was that everything was hunky-dory and working as intended. It"s not a hard stretch to go from PoP (rathe council-PoTime) to Luclin (about half...

Yeah, I don"t expect them to say anything else really. What I found interesting was "In short if you no longer play the game, or can find nothing nice to say about it anymore, then I would ask that you move on to whatever else it is that interests you." and "I would also add that we do not need...

More amazing coincidence. VN Boards - Note on Developer/Game Bashing and "Good Bye" threads.

Cam, every one of your posts is almost exactly the same shit, over and over. You could try not being a hypocrit about the whole thing. Zehn is spot on, you respond to every single post just like Ut.. if you want to break the cycle, man up and stop feeding into it.

Soo... how are those flying mounts working out?

/tinfoil hat on Because the people at Silkyvenom.com are comprised of almost all current Vanguard subscribers and the people who browse FoHguild.org are potential subscribers.

Silky Venom was the guild that nearly all the devs play characters were in. In fact, I believe you could find a bunch of beta screenshots with Brad"s character with the tag.

Hmm well, that would imply that Brad monitors Ut"s status as he hadn"t posted in this thread for who knows how long before Brad showed up. I"m not accusing you of a conspiracy, and tbh the uberguild network means nothing to me. This is a MMO gaming forum and that"s all I view it as. Your money...

So how exactly did Brad find out he got banned?
