That is spot on. Maybe he worded it incorrectly? There is no way one does not "get it in writing" for ANY business transaction. And while the launch and engine were a disaster, the actual game itself is fantastic. It still is. The graphics, questing system, factions, dungeons, music...there is...

If I didn't post in the political thread I would be about a +8. I in fact am still getting negs on this thread from my good friends in the political thread dropping by just for the hell of it. THANKS Eomer! Hell someone negged my wife for stating she wasn't sure when PQ's were invented but she...

A conservative on a board comprised of 90% liberals makes one quite popular in the political thread. I hear Brad is quite the political debater although I haven't a clue what he supports. He would be quite entertaining over here.

Thanks!

Has it? I can't give anyone pos-nets because I'm in the neg. Dumb rule.

Either someones a total moron, or they are shooting for the 13-15 year old PS3 crowd. Either way, it not a good sign. What was this? I missed it.

Who needs to make the stuff up? Don't look at what he says, look at what he does. Jesus christ, you should be proud of him Karloff. Embrace your socialist policies, don't hide from them pretending to support "centrist" views. Obama- the scariest socialist of them all | TheBlaze.com

You must be smoking crack if after this debacle any politician will even touch a fully government run health care system. Obama fucked that all up with his total incompetence in doing even this much.

"It was cited before in another thread"is fucking weak. If your making an argument that relies on statistics, then fucking show us where you are getting the numbers from. Its a fucking simple concept.

Yea, this is true. Our guild, and from the sound of it at the time, the majority of guilds were hemorrhaging players at record rates. We were forced to do backflagging on a regular basis and that is what caused so much disdain for POP. It actually got kinda fun though for those of us who stuck...

I've been RRP'd for not citing shit and you come on here nearly every day throwing out statistics left and right with no fucking citation whatsoever. If you love math so much, then start using it. Jesus christ, start citing shit. Here, let me help: National health care spending continues to grow...

POP was fucking awsome. I loved it. Man it felt fucking awsome to get flagged and move on to the next level of progression and the raids.....shit the raids were a fucking blast. Backflagging can suck a dick but for me, POP was as good as it got. There was an actual coherent story line, the...

Right on the money here! I see your point, but.......its an MMO? If your only talking to the same 6-12 players every day how in the world do you meet anyone? To each his own I guess.

Females.....where it is literally possible to spend 2.5 hours in character creation..................

Haha good catch. You may be on to something statistically.

Well said.......

And I don't care how tempting it is.........DO NOT HIT A NOBLE. You will be running for the guards............

I play my own server EQemulator and I LOVE the downtime. Just last night I broke the Captains room in Blackburrow and had a good 5-6 minutes to relax, smoke a cig, piss, and chat with my wife. It didn't bother me in the least. I loved it.

Blizzard had the Starcraft crowd in the pocket before the race even started. Considering it sold 10 million copies in 10 years they have a pretty good base of players who know the company name. That is no way discounts WOW, but it sure helped.

Yea, cause the current generation of game designers are so successful I should strive to be more like them........oh wait.

I was a wizard so if we want to talk about people going LFG I have served my time. There was plenty to do when I wasn't grouping. I could sit outside KC and rake in the money porting, I could head to Thurgadin and craft, I could hit CS and quad, I could level an alt, I could get on a list...I...

So if they are playing their playstation they are not even trying to get a group are they?

I hope he doesn't and just uses his knowledge and instincts. I don't want a game with a "little of everything", I want the same vision he had for both Everquest and Vanguard. Structurally they were both successes.

Not sure if this would work or not. Wouldn't that remove the "carrot"? You knew when you were grouping in Dreadlands that when you ding 50 you could zone into KC. You knew that about the time you were outleveling KC you could head to Sebilis. There was excitement to ding so you could head to the...

If I was a dev for any recent MMO I would cry myself to sleep at night. Thousands of hours of work, millions and millions of dollars, and people play for a month, then never come back. The games are flawed and people refuse to stop rehashing WOW clones.

I don't understand the desire in MMO's to make them more like FPS. Run, jump, roll, switch weapons, now run, stop, switch weapons again, roll, dive, attack...jesus christ that's a lot work.

In Everquest you had no choice but to group, or you would be stuck at level 6 forever. If you wanted to advance, you had to group. Then, once people had a taste of WOW, you had people crying like little fucking babies because they couldn't solo their way through the game. And once again, devs...

According to your theory, that would actually be creating a new excitement, one that hasn't not been discovered yet. Much like what EQ did in 1999.

Good points. I used to think I would no longer tolerate "hard mode" time consuming games either. I am going to school full time and raising a family, yet the funny part is, the wife and I play MMOs at night. I play on my own EQ emulator and she plays EQ2 or Vanguard. It would take us forever to...

You nailed this on the head. The minute people were presented with anything difficult progression wise, Sigil nerfed it. Now, keeping in mind "back in the day", you either played Everquest or went back to UO so it could be argued people were forced to deal with it, but the result of that was...

50k? I have no idea how much it cost to make a game but just random guessing I doubt you could do it for under $30 million. (I may be way off high or low, I have no clue). If we shoot low subs because it is an niche game, I still honestly think a quality game with good support could maintain a...

I would like some clarification on his vision? and what his intentions are. I wonder how much of what has been discussed in this thread is simply our wishful thinking. Pre-beta Vanguard was as close as we could hope for. However as we all know, he took a giant motherfucking meat cleaver to it...

Yea I have no idea what your talking about. Pretty much my entire guild was comprised of professionals. Lawyers, accountants, a PA, a court reporter, a few game developers etc.... I was one of the few whodidn'thave a college degree. 80% worked 8-5, would raid until 2am, then get up and do it all...

I don't think it was the end of the world to let us equip our alts with our good gear, hell even raid gear so we could level our alts quicker. It was FUN! Who didn't have a great time smoking through the same content that whopped our ass a hundred times when we were newbies? Who the hell decided...

Not even Everquest could pull that off. Whats your idea?

Its top sekret....

This is a great point. The reason is, they have removed ALL downtime from the game now and dungeoncrawlinghas turned into dungeonSPRINTING! There is no time to even type something into chat as they will be 4 mobs down by the time you hit enter, then scream at you "WHY ARE YOU FALLING BEHIND"!

No, that's fine. Honestly I have no idea who Elidroth is and if there was a legitimate connection. Obviously is conjecture at this point, but its certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

Is there any link whatsoever from Elidroth to Brad at this point? Your guessing here? Based on what? The fact he is submitting a project to kickstarter? Gonna need a bit more here but its a nice idea. ~~rose colored glasses on~~ I remember when you knew how good a player was just by what they...

Glad you brought this up. Brad, if your listening, we don't give two flying fucks about voice acting. There.........just saved the developers millions.
