Hundreds of millions have already been spent on EverQuest Next. Columbus Nova obviously got a deal buying the company, but I can't imagine they just throw that investment to the wayside. I think you're right, if they wanted to go in a completely different direction - it would have been much...

I can't imagine they purchased SoE with plans to scrap EQNext. It seemed like the only thing they had going for them on the horizon. H1Z1 is fun, but I don't think it will be nearly as profitable as a full MMO can be.

I'm okay with this.

Their entire UI is pretty shitty, to be honest. They're just lucky that their competition is ArmA/DayZ, which is even worse.

No traps at all. Literally just logged in, took two steps forward. Fell over dead.

Probably had the most gear I've ever had. Had a small little base set up. And I log on and my character immediately dies for absolutely no reason. Fuck this game.

I wasn't too impressed by the Gryphon concept art...but the in-game model is incredible.

Finally ran into my first obvious hacker. Just teleported to me, started punshing the crap out of me. I killed him, but bled out before I could heal. My buddy loots my stuff, but guy appears out of no where punching him. He ends up kill the guy twice, before he's finally killed by punches...

Maybe it's just me, but I think this game and system would work better without a currency. Get into a world, a determine the value of things based on the scarcity of the resources (which should vary for each iteration). I also think a bartering system compels people to interact beyond just...

Maybe it will be free and they'll go the MOBA route of selling Archetypes. God, I hope not.

I'm really sort of torn with this idea. First, I think it's a pretty ingenious method to creating that 'rush' that comes with a fresh start. However, a lot of my concern lies with how the Eternal Kingdoms will function. As it stands now, it basically sounds like a virtual lobby, with a...

Hah. I usually get 50+ of each ammo type, but no weapons.

I've come to the realization that these pre-built bases are stupid, and they should have created a system where you take over and fortify existing structures. Like you said, many people are doing this with the bases now. I think it was on Deadwood, but someone created a platformed base that...

It looks like all the worlds will have full inventory loot, so it's actually beneficial to wear your best items and not bag them. It's only on the less restrictive servers that you can lose your equipped items (and inventory). Seems like a decent design. Never makes sense to take off weapons...

My life basically goes like this: Spawn. Make bow and arrows. Gather resources to survive. Find a gun. Get bored. Go to Pleasant Valley to find some trouble. Die. Repeat.

It's the circle of life.

I don't watch much MMA, but that was kind of boring. The Diaz guy didn't seem to have any idea what to do. The announcers touted him as a volume puncher and he barely tried to cut off the ring.

Well, from what we've seen of crafting materials, it makes little sense to restrict crafting materials to specific worlds because they're primarily for specialization, and will be valued differently based on class, role, etc. However, I 100% agree that the Dregs (FFA) should provide higher...

Hah. Pretty good interpretation. I've been debating with a lot of the ex-Shadowbane players over there and they won't agree to any compromise. They insist that the best loot should drop exclusively in the Dregs (FFA). I agree FFA should provide better rewards since there is higher risk - but...

The game of Rampant SpeculationT has been kind of fun, but it's insane some of the shit people on the official forums have been running with. The Shadowbane players are in near panic mode as each info drop reveals the game isn't Shadowbane reborn.

That's my understanding of it. Here's the quote from the Devs: So there will still sorta be a Trinity, but it's going to be 'Support' instead of 'Healer'. In League of Legends, there's many different kinds of Supports, and many of them don't heal at all. I know it's a much different game, but it...

The best bug I've found is that you can sit down (x) while auto running...And you sort of Go-Kart across the ground. You can't turn while sitting, but the best part about it is that you don't make any footstep sounds.

What other MMO was PvP only and didn't have to please two masters (PvE and PvP)?

I fully understand the concern over lack of Trinity in a game with PvE, but it doesn't seem like nearly as big of an issue in a strictly PvP game. There's some speculation that the multiple worlds are going to be time limited psuedo-Battlegrounds. Still so much we don't know, but the Export...

Because it's an MMO (and is marketed as one by SoE). You could argue that it's not an MMORPG, but games like Planetside 2 are allowed to have threads here.

No.

I'm really curious about the Export Rules. Obviously I assume that it means moving resources and materials to another world - but on the Guild vs Guild world, there's a qualification that affects how much you can export. The conditions being Win, Kneel, Lose. It makes me feel like you can...

Except they explicitly said not every archetype can do everything, and they're not aiming for perfect balance. I guess we'll have to see how that pans out.

I like the idea of little healing. With healers, it just becomes manadatory to deal with the healer first at all times. With support, it may be better to take them out first, but it's not necessarily required. I'm not sure why people want/expect the Trinity in a PvP game. The multiple...

Flying Archetype Confirmed?

From the UI Designer's Linkedin: I think we have our answer for which engine they're using.

If you read the main page they explain that they want people to be involved and play the game of "rampant speculation". ...and that if you're not interested in that, to just wait until the official product announcement.

Plus, signing up on the website/forums automatically puts you in a beta group ...

On another note, I found one of their 3D artists on Twitter@EricHart3d. His profile mentioned working on Crowfall, and being a Unity user. So maybe that's a hint that Unity Engine is the one they went with.

One idea I've seen tossed around is that world's are eventually depleted of resources so you can't just have a foothold on a world forever. Of course, you'd still carry over some advantage, but it would lower the gap.

Still a lot to learn about this game, but nothing I've read so far has disapointed me.

Ran around for an hour trying to scavenge and kill zombies. Found a grand total of 3 water bottles, 1 lighter, and like 10 All Purpose Goggles. Only ran into 3 people the entire time too, all with just basic gear. This game can be extremely exciting, or dull as shit.

I've found the best way of gearing up is to kill Zombies in Pleasant Valley. It's a little dangerous, but it's crazy finding Zombies with multiple weapons.

Hah. I've been posting on the official forums, and if you listen to the players there, they all pretty much just want Shadowbane with a graphical update. I didn't play Shadowbane, but it appears to have one of the most convoluted stat/character systems I've ever seen in an MMO. I think you're...

Hah, on some of my characters that I play a bandit on, I've been hunted down or killed on sight by people because of my 'reputation'. I agree though. I don't think they should regulate behavior whatsoever, but they could provide more tools to aid players in dealing with different 'social'...
