You'd think that with that stance they wouldn't have made it visually appeal to 12 year olds. I don't think it's going to work out for them at all. They'll have to cave soon. I expect announcements around the time nobody resubscribes.

I toughed it out to 14 - ALMOST 15 that was considered the goal. My initial impressions from just the insulting tutorial were absolutely correct. Definitely not the game for me. If you were a raver in the '90s, you may like it!

Only start playing if you're on voice comms (not in-game, direct voice comms) with someone who can show you the ropes. Someone who has the patience to answer the 2-3 hours of newbie questions that you'll constantly be asking. It's not necessarily a difficult game to understand, but it's not...

How would it be any different than a mass multiplayer FPS game? Have you tried Planetside 2? They pull it off.

Is the game DRASTICALLY different at level 15? Is it something you start noticing at level 15, or is it something you have realized on the way to 15? Should I tough it out and get to level 15 to say I've experienced the real game? Level 20? What level? (I don't even know what the max is in...

I made it about 15 minutes in this before quitting out. I doubt I'll ever return. Here's the summary: I actually set up boot camp to try this open beta. I had to fsck the hard disk before it would let me shrink the partition to create the windows partition. I spent more time getting boot...

Do you think the game in its current state would pass the validation processes for the current generation of consoles? Especially with XBL, they don't validate your app without some serious optimization and bugfixin'.

Turbo, have you tried out Smite? (SMITE) It's a wasd MOBA game.

Cool, are you white knighting this game this month? Moved on from ESO already? I look forward to your furious missives.

It's a game for people who have no jobs or people with shit jobs.

I don't think it works like that. I'd assume that they have a system in place where they grab the latest builds from XL Games and apply patches on top of those builds to form what NA plays. So they could fix this on their side fairly quick and shouldn't have to ask XL Games anything. I...

Worked in Asheron's call. It works fine - people see you griefing? They kill you. Communities are fairly good at self-policing.

Ahhh another game that doesn't see the obvious solution to area effect problems. ENABLE FRIENDLY FIRE.

How is any of that true when UO did the same thing before EQ? Granted, UO didn't have character levels, but if you knew how to play the game you could take a several hour old character anywhere on the map - even traverse Hythloth if you had a friend who could gate you there.

Zenimax Online was created to make MMOs - a completely separate studio from Bethesda that wouldn't directly tarnish the name. Zenimax Online is effectively the Saturn Corporation of the MMO world. If you think anyone there had the insight that directly created anything valuable in the...

That's just bullshit that has been popularized since about Shadowbane or before. Remember what they said with shadowbane. With the size of the combat that they wanted to have in Shadowbane, they couldn't support WASD input because it was too much strain on the server. The truth of the...

Just what the world needs. Another EJ forum.

If they're using ANY modern payment provider there are API calls they can do to validate cards that charge zero dollars. Using these methods even costs Zenimax $0 dollars! Insane, but completely expected. Babby's first MMO launch and all. Repeating the same problems we saw in Meridian 59 and...

Weak and pathetic. Par.

Progress Quest finally made it to Korea?!

Here's an AutoIT script I had saved from Aion. http://pastebin.com/A0r4nsVd Yep, that's how easy it is.

If you want to talk about disassembling and memory editing you're getting into the realm of outright cheating. The second most impressive instance of that kind of thing, that I know about, was in SWG. A guy wrote a hook for the main exe that added functionality to the map screen. You'd simply...

Bots will exist in every game. I wrote my first bot for a MUD we played at the back of computer class as a freshman in high school, '94ish. BNC Novell LAN, everything. That was just a simple text parser, but monitoring areas of the screen for certain arrangements of pixels isn't much...

This time around I picked up another remote work job instead of diving into another bug ridden MMO launch. Same amount of hours per week and probably the same amount of enjoyment. Hell, probably less work too!

Vid looks good. Too bad the game you're playing looks terrible.

Isn't AoC that way these days?

Let's just hope that a small group of people at NCSoft have been heads-down translating Blade & Soul from Korean to English for the past two years. So as soon as this turd hits the water we can have something worth playing hosted in the US.

I have a 12 year old nephew who is about done with WoW and really wants to try this if anyone has a key available. Looks like this is the next stop for him and his friends.

I'm not sure about the massive RvR zones. The GW2 WvW zones are way too big.

Why would anyone give this motherfucker money!?

At this point I'd like to see a return to non-forced-faction PVP. In other words, free for all pvp. Let people choose from a few NPC factions to represent or form guilds and alliances and go to war. Essentially I'd like to see a Shadowbane-like game without the amazingly buggy client and the...

Works in Asheron's Call bro.

Ugh, the PVP streams are really disappointing. I don't want another PBAOE spamfest that brings back the days of DAOC, Anarchy Online, and most recently GW2. Enable friendly fire. Make your hits on friendlies reflect damage back to you.

Elder scrolls games are hard for me to go back to after playing Dark Souls / Demon Souls. (I didn't play those until AFTER Skyrim.) The combat in elder scrolls games is just too simple when compared. The only thing better in Elder Scrolls games is magic and archery. Then you look at ESO...

April release? Free to play before 2015.

If you think about it, this is what they were after with Lineage 1. It was basically a really bad tile based, mass multiplayer Diablo 1 clone. They're finally realizing their dream. Good for them.

I didn't play because I played a Bard in beta and they nerfed the everloving shit out of that class before launch. Over-reaction like that really puts me off.

Bro, do you even Rift?

It's people trying to stop others from a catastrophe. Crowd funding is pyramid schemes for a new generation. Also, you have no doubts? No doubts at all that someone can put together a AAA multiplayer game with $30M in 2013-2016?

Absolutely. The Z axis was automatically calculated, but you could could aim both bows and spells. And dodge them. And it took skill. Amazing, right? Meanwhile we continue devolving for the greater dollar.
