-"a lot of people thought this question was about PvP. Oops, our bad" -"vast majority" of game is uninstanced -Storybricks stuff should make camping and cockblocking difficult or inefficient -they've got "other stuff" they're planning to do to accommodate a lot of players playing in one...

A sidescrolling platformer about a blue robot (whose silhouette is identical to Megaman's) whose arm turns into a blaster, who must defeat robot bosses to acquire their weapons, and who has a female sidekick (who, in at least one of the possible designs, also looks pretty damn similar to Roll)...

I'm not the only one who noticed that Butler called no-fast-travel 'denial of service', am I? I'm honestly not sure if he's being sincere in using that phrase, or just fucking with us. He has to be aware that that's become a slogan for their (well, his) detractors, and that he's winning no...

Link Yep, the rumors were true; they're bringing back Legacy of Kain! ...as a f2p multiplayer arena battle game. *sigh*I suppose this may be the precursor to them properly resurrecting the series, but at the moment this looks like someone decided to bring back an IP while fundamentally...

If they do actually end up giving us flintlocks, I wonder if they would have the balls to make them function more-or-less like actual flintlocks; you get one shot, then need to reload. Guessing not.

After all these years, I'm still kinda bummed the IP got yanked from the last guys, and given to Mythic. I have no clue if they actually had it in them to pull it off, but the basic concept was really awesome: a more sandboxy game that was based more on the WHRPG, than the PvP translation of...

There was some dude who reported out of...I think it was PAX, that the devs have backpedaled a little in that regard, now saying that they haven't yet settled on how to handle class swapping. Gives me alittlemore optimism on that particular front.

I generally agree with that, but the fact they didn't discuss any of the nuances of the race/class restriction question is a little troubling. Soft restrictions are a logical replacement for hard-coded ones, and yet they don't even suggest that they've considered them, they only talk about it...

Agreed. I think they make a reasonable argument against hard race/class restrictions; that being said, soft restrictions would still be ideal: *starting* class restrictions, difficulty getting the proper stats for a class if that class is sufficiently against type for your race, having to jump...

For those who just want the bullet points: -info focus for the next month is on EQNL -two major topics they intend to expand on: how EQNL worlds are put together/how you claim a plot, and how building, crafting, and resource gathering work. -new lore story will be released. -aside from the...

This isn't even about letting people build on your land; that's what make some of the responses so sad. It's about whether or not you should be able to hide your building from people so that they can't even see it without the proper permissions.

Well, if I'm recalling the order correctly, next week's roundtable video should be the one about race/class restrictions, and so we should at least get a hint or two as to how they'll handle it. It's not much, but hey, might be worth an hour of conversation. On a related note, the next...

Don't worry; on this count, I'm fully expecting it.

To move the video discussion onto the video's actual topic, I do hope that, if they make it into the game, ratongas will be a little moreratonga and a little less squirreltonga. They brought up skaven in the video, and I'd totally make a ratonga assassin as an alt if I could make him look like...

On the subject of the lore, the impression I get is that they're basically trying to rework the story to create a mortal-centric history, as opposed to the more god-centric history of the past games. Compare the info from the lore panel to the history blurb in the front of the old EQ1 manual...

Yeah, but EQNL is launching in winter 2013, the article's writer just got the year wrong.

Well, it's that you can have a qunari as the player-character, not just have one in the party.

The fae aren't my thing, but I do get it; they've got a lot of appeal with female players, and fairies, for all their rarity as playable options in fantasy games, are one of the more firmly established fantasy/ mythological creatures out there, so I never really minded their presence. The...

Gameplay looks good, but the chick filming this is ridiculously excitable. Listening to her gasp every time a spell effect triggered was a little absurd.

Everywhere else, SOE has been saying winter 2013 for EQNL, so I'm guessing these guys just misunderstood.

Yeah, I know. I figured if there was a place where they would use dev fiat to determine that an event officially happened, regardless of what players actually chose, it would be the God Baby; seemed like way too huge of a potential story seed to let remain optional.

I will say, I like the sound of the wizard movement spell mentioned in the article; that sounds pretty cool.

That + only bring able to have the freaky eyes the female de has in the concept art, might get it close.

Go to twitch.tv/twitch, not /PAX

They toned down the color on the dark elf; makes them look a touch better.

Stream's started on twitch

So-so. Some's good (environment, humans, male dwarves), some's bad (dark elves, female dwarves); overall, it's bearable. "Fist period," huh? Sounds painful.

And from the way he said it, it sounds like the "no auction house" thing may carry over into EQN proper, as well.

With those lips, I guess it's not a huge surprise...

No bastard ever quelled a Blight by getting his soul shredded by a dragon-demon. He quelled it by forcing that dragon-demon to be reincarnated as that bastard's unborn child.

A few pages back, someone cross posted something from mmorpg.com, from someone who got to ask some questions of the devs at PAX. Assuming it's accurate, we have confirmation that classes will be able to acquire more than the four initial secondary abilities that the class starts with. It also...

Ya know, between the physique, the face, and the stance, combined with the giant hair, the female dwarf really reminds me of...were any of you unfortunate enough to ever see an epsiode of Toddlers and Tiaras? It's a lot like that. It's kinda disturbing, actually.

So...female dark elves are evil, while male dark elves are wholesome? I wonder why they backtracked on the eyes with the character model; the female concept artworks have whites of the the eyes that are black, and also look to have slitted pupils (which makes sense, since there's supposed to...

And yet, the ogre did carry over completely unchanged.

My disappointment isn't really from nostalgia. My disappointment comes from the fact that they hadshownus concept art for dark elves, both the older one from 2010, and the more recent female concept art at SOE Live, and the model looks nothing like either of them. Those concept pieces were...

Taking a brief break from the art discussion... From that article, it sounds like SOE is back pedaling a little on the "swap your class whenever you want" thing, so that's at least one piece of good news out of this.

Someone really does need to tweet that concept to the art dev (the fact that we may need to point someone to their own piece of concept art as a guide to how something should look is more than a little amusing).

Eh, I'm guessing you can make them look more pissy in character creation. Male dwarves look fine, the female...has the physique and posture of a baby who's just learned to stand up on its own; needs to be muscled up a bit more.

So far, what they've said is that they will be; again, if you give someone the proper permissions. If you don't give anyone high enough permission to nuke your house, then it's safe. I imagine those limitations will be further loosened up in PvP situations.

It was said in a Gameinformer article. However, one of the Bioware devs then came out and said that that was GI misunderstanding something, or making an assumption; if you didn't make the God Baby, then you didn't make the God Baby, period.
