I think that's why I have a hard time with some of the guys on this site. I was really disappointed with a lot of the MMO's that came out in the last 10 years, but I DID play all the ones I was looking forward to for at least a month or two. I got MY money's worth. The only 3 MMOs that I have...

Yeah, haha. Too true!

Hmm. Utnayan mentioned another forum (somethingawful) a few posts back and I went to check out what he's talking about. I gotta say - that forum is kind of the reverse of this one. Tons of people flaming the shit out of Utnayan (he's even temporarily banned over there for posting a quote of a...

wtf..? Usually I can puzzle out your point, but that post was just cray, bro, cray

Oh, Jeebus. Will you just read what I post and reply with some substance and quit wasting time with this bullshit? Is it impossible to have a discussion on game forums anymore?

Draegan, Draegan, Draegan... if I was a shill don't you think I'd sign up with a different name from forum to forum? You're one of my main trolls on F13, and I knew you admin these forums, so I could havetriedto hide that, right? Oh well, no sense spending all my time denying these things. I...

Something about having a large map to play in with lots of different objectives is addictive to me. The pvp element adds a level of intensity and unpredictability that doesn't exist in just large pve zones. Now, granted, I'm assuming best case scenario, and my expectations are greatly...

Look, I get you're skeptical. I get that you have inside info that Firor is a terrible manager. But when you say stuff like this, it just sounds silly. I played DAOC plenty, bro, and I had upper end gaming rigs at the time, and there is no way you played smoothly or even remotely smoothly...

So, Aradune coming back to EQ. Interesting - I remember well the drama surrounding Vanguard's collapse/sale. Remember the parking lot scene? Some of you guys know people in the industry; have they forgiven Brad and decided to let bygones be bygones?

I'm kinda glad to hear the negative reviews. I don't like the idea of what they are doing with the D&D IP. Also, I still play DDO between other MMO's and I'd hate to have to choose between two D&D games. I'm not super happy with what DDO did with the IP, but at least their dungeons are unique...

So, if they aren't lying about having 200 combatants on screen, that's a pretty good achievement?

Yeah, but I'd like to hear a report on gameplay form someone who wasn't a blogger or "journalist." So.. go there and wait in line 2 hours, it's worth it

Hey, any of you guys going to PAX East? Looks like they'll be letting people play at their booth: http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en...so-at-pax-east I'd like to see what people have to say... I live in Seattle, so gotta wait for PAX Prime. I'd love to see a vid of Aleksei playing this...

That interview I linked a bit back has a guy claiming their engine will support high end machines with DX11, etc. If he is lying and I log in to find that I have SWTOR level of graphics and graphic options I'm gonna lose my shit.

I agree. I hated the idea of this in WOW, and was really pissed to see Rift and SWTOR (and other games, I'm sure) copy it completely.

Eh, at this point I'm just hoping for the best. Unless people play the beta and say it is terrible, I'll probably buy it. I'm jonesing for a new MMO. I've not really spent significant time in one for years now. I can tell I'm losing hope though, cause I'm starting to read about Camelot...

I'll tell you what, Woolygimp, when I first saw that video last November, I was okay with it. I even thought it seemed okay. The main reason being that they promised lots more videos and information. They haven't really delivered on that, though. I mean there has been ZERO new gameplay...

Oh, you caught me! I am a rational human being who can see two sides to an argument. I know, it's a rare sight in the internets, but we do exist. I spent a bit more time on the positive cause I'm still hopeful about this game, despite Utnayan's serial negativity and Aleksei's comic obsession...

Kind of on topic interview that I just saw: http://tamrielfoundry.com/2013/03/interview-dan-dunham/ While he doesn't openly deny that they are making an "entirely new game engine," he does say, "We did license portions as building blocks..." I have to admit that this sounds a bit shifty...

You might get your wish - after a little *ahem* healthy internet stalking, I found this on her website: So they are at the very least aware of her...

Holy shit.. that chick is pretty damn good.

I like these ideas. I'd play that game. I don't like the idea of everyone being able to do everything. I think if you make certain choices, it should close certain doors, while opening other ones. I like the idea of adventure requirements to find those doors, though rather than a skill tree...

I was one of those 5-10 hour a day kids back in EQ. I can't pull that off all the time anymore (work, family, etc.), but if you give me a good game, I can still pull a 10 hour day on a weekend, and I don't mind putting my time in to earn stuff. I agree with the sentiment of some people in this...

I started out gamely trying to read this entire thread, but after 20 pages with people mostly just being either nostalgic or trying to screw with each other, I've given up and will just ask: Is there anything new about this title since December when the thread was started and they linked the...

It looks like it could be a fun game for a while. That vid just seemed more like a Diablo MMO than a D&D game. Personally I wish someone with the license would create an MMO based on D&D where combat was fairly rare and you had a lot of the old RP elements. When my group used to play D&D we...

Well, I'm not privy to the insider info you have, so I can only speculate. I know that many times when I've played a new MMO, I'd ask myself, "Why don't they have X? Don't they look at other MMOs and see what works?" Now, yes, I think a designer should have lots of his own ideas, but I also...

I read the blog by Sawyer you linked, and while I found it interesting, I'm not sure I agree with him completely. To clarify, I agree that a designer should have a clear plan and design a system so that the tools available to a player are grouped appropriately (as he described in the example of...

I had a similar reaction when I read his blogs. He strikes me as very unprofessional sounding, and even has a lot of grammatical and punctuation errors. If you are trying to inspire people to donate millions of dollars to you, at least have a friend with some writing skills go over your...

Maybe I can get excited about this! I hated MJ for what he did with Warhammer, but maybe that was all EA's fault. Yeah, that's it! Now I have something to fall back on if TESO bombs!

A lot of dots just got connected...

Let's be fair here. If you were building a MMO with a 300 million dollar budget and you saw games like WAR and SWTOR and AOC crashing and burning, would you keep steaming ahead or would you make adjustments?

I didn't play UO, but I thought it was well regarded. I will admit that Paul Sage sounds really annoying in the video interviews and, while he seems nice, he has a lot of "marketing guy' in his tone that I really don't like. BTW, not sure who Anthony Sullivan is. I'm tempted to Google it...

This whole schill thing gets so old. I know it's my fault for only now creating my account. If VN boards were around I could show you my fucking old ass vn login where I used to post about games and stuff. I've made accounts on various game sites as I was waiting for them, and I've lurked and...

Really not sure if you just are interpreting differently than I am or what. Ithinkyou are a smart guy, so maybe it's your pessimistic outlook clouding your comprehension? Let me try again: Your character will alwaysperceivethe same Cyrodil. You will always zone into the same Cyrodil. It is...

Wow, Ut. I'll give it to you that someone being positive about a game might sound shillish - I've heard this before, lol. However, your rant reads like a bad fiction novel. Where do you get info that this game has been stop started three times since 2006? I'd love to know more. With...

I'm pretty sure they aren't basing this on WOW factions but more on DAOC's RVR. The locked factions create a sense of community and animosity toward the other factions that really can enhance the alliance vs. alliance experience. I've only ever seen that work in DAOC, and have seen it fail in...

I play a bit of DDO while I wait for new MMOs to try. I recently rebuilt my gaming box and have 2x GTX 670 graphics cards. I know DDO is a bit of an old game, but they have updated their graphics from time to time and have high res downloads and DX11 support. I was surprised that there was no...

Have we ever been happy with an Asian MMO port? I really, really tried to get into Lineage 2 back in the day, but...

Hello everyone! I was pleased to find this little corner of the internet; I used to lurk on FOH for years and years. Hats off to Draegan for keeping this kind of MMO conversation alive. Anyway, I just wanted to, for the record, say that I think TESO is going to be good. I read all of your...
