I love the three "tiers" idea, and the destructible environment, but its looking more and more like they are balancing the game for the 13 year old Playstation/Xbox crowd rather then serious MMO players. Maybe I'm wrong, but we will see.

We have convicted murderers teaching at Ivy league schools. Second chances aren't that hard to come by. There is obviously a market for this type of game. Small, sure, but big enough to make money. And that's all it takes.

EQ was a fluke? Really? That's like saying the IPhone was a fluke. Or wait............is it, Apple creates better products then everyone else? You cannot simply dismiss hundreds of design decisions as "accidents that worked".

If he can make this game on time and stay on budget, I will cut him all the slack in the world when it comes to releasing new content. Just please please please, make us a game that doesn't suck, and don't get swallowed up by the financing sharks and pull another "38 studios" on us. I am willing...

Sony wants a piece of the Playstation crowd and will design the game to attract as many of them as they can. What little hopes I had for this title are fading everytime I hear someone from the team speak.

I just hope Brad doesn't chase the $300 million dollar game, with 10 "suits" behind the game demanding subs north of 5 million. Then we are right back to where we started. Keep it small Brad. Small team, small budget, small expectations. If the game is popular beyond what you hoped for, its just...

I can paypal ya $27. Would that get ya started?

My wife goes nuts for NOTD and Frostfell. Plays 7 hours a day. The exclusion of those would be endgame for EQN.

I also miss giant raids of 50-70 people. Reducing raid content to 24 people means only the best 24 can raid and we are forced to leave guild members behind. It also makes it difficult to train new members the scripts because every spot is critical. And the large, guild raids were.........shock...

I miss gaming before Thottbot. I never thought it was necessary to whip out an engineering calculator to decide which gear/weapon you wanted, but people did it.

They didn't make KOA though, they bought it. So thats not real confidence inspiring in regards to the MMO.

To bad. What the MMO community really needed right now was another WOW clone. His game will be forever remembered.........../scoff

Not that encouraging for those of us who were expecting a serious MMO.

Well I cannot explain the details, and maybe someone better versed in the nuts and bolts can do a better job than me, but it was my understanding that there is a serious problem with the engine itself. It didn't sound like something you can just fix and keep rolling. The engine is going to...

I've always wished (foolishly of course) that Sony would just sell Vanguard to a small team of developers who could shut it down, spend a year working on it and rerelease it in all its glory. This game still has so much untapped potential, but Sony is content to sit and watch it die. Whenever it...

Which begs the question, what is it they are "shutting down"? You take trees and grass and lakes, you toss a few fences up and call it a park. You hire security and a couple dumb asses at minimum wage to sit in a booth at the entrance and charge money to stare at the trees right? So the...

I don't blame him after the fucking historic, epic, meltdown the FOH boards had on him when Sigil came crashing down. The things said about him were.........well, you know.

I still find it interesting that so many people had so many CTD's. I nearly NEVER crashed out. Maybe it was the videocard? I'm guessing I have CTD in Vanguard maybe 3 times total. Hitching was horrible, but really, for my computer, it wasn't that bad. I didn't have a powerhouse computer or...

LOL, I remember that. One time it took me, literally, 30 minutes to zone out. And that sad part was, I just got lucky.

Ohh yea, I haven't read that since I first saw it posted. In fact, when it was originally posted, I wasn't even sure it was really him. I should find it and reread it though.

I have a duel monitor setup with RR on one screen, and emulator EQ on other. I gave up hoping someone would come out with a decent game years ago.

IMO, the biggest mistake they made with VG is thinking to big. And the frustrating part is, it was totally unnecessary. When my wife and I discuss it, we agreed that they could have put all the starting classes on one continent. Thestra is HUGE. They should have focused on Thestra, and sidelined...

Bingo

Just speaking specifically about graphics, who fucking cares? WOW has sold, like a fucking cazillion boxes and subs using that horrible fucking cartoony ass graphics last I checked. FUCK GRAPHICS. I for one am sick and tired of everyone creating these one billion poly count characters that need...

This was a serious problem. It wasn't always about being smart and brave, it was odd. I remember doing the 5 or six quests around my starting huts, then walking up the hill only to see level 25ish mobs at the top. So I wandered back down and started exploring. I walked and walked and walked...

Not sure I can agree with you here. My MMO "virginity" was EQ. I played from 00' to 05'. Near late 03' I started playing 10+ hours a day. I will never forget it. Best time in my life. I retired after POP and started following both EQ2 and Vanguard. I was in both betas and started characters on...

I think quite a few people assumed (you know what they say about assumptions) that's exactly what EQ2 was supposed to be. A continuation of the Everquest story with similar gameplay, and mechanics. And when Vanguard was released, the initial hopes was a "throwback" game to the original Everquest...

Because they are passing the charges off on the employees, which means..............Obamacare is costing us, and everyone who works at the hospital more money. So its not saving us money, its raising our premiums. Which is in direct contradiction to your statement that its going to save money...

Wait a minute. Unless I am missing something, your simply implying your new plans are due to Obamacare, because no where on there is the ACA mentioned. I'm looking at it, and it is showing your new plans available, compared to last years plan right? And unless I'm missing it, its not showing...

Any game that seriously considers guns and ninjas has already lost me.

Yea cause we all know the key to running a successful government program is to just keep throwing money at it till it works............kinda

My wife and I are insured through BCBS.

Until they figure out the "free" healthcare isn't actually free. Then they will log off in disgust. Why if they received their healthcare for free in the past, would they now gleefully pay for it? And if they were unable to pay for it prior, what has changed with Obamacare where they can now...

Lets see this letter then. Pix or it didn't happen

I was in VG beta but didn't play a tank. Does anyone remember the opinions on combat? I want to say it was a homerun until they started watering it down, but again, I wasn't a tank.

lol, who the fuck do you think voted Obama into office, not once, but twice? You really think his voting base is comprised of "intelligent, educated, middle class"? At least pull Obamas cock out of your mouth long enough to see the very people you insult, are the very people who keep Democrats...

Yea, a loaded poll to began with. A board comprised of 90% liberals/progressives isn't exactly the most accurate way to judge anything Obama(Our lord god and supreme leader) does. He could sodomize half these people with an Obama brander and they would still vote for him.

Some good reply's here however I have to point out, if there is a better option, a better way, why haven't we seen it yet? How many MMO's have been released since EQ's heyday. Got to be around a dozen(I'm referring to AAA titles, not the hundreds of smaller games no one has heard of) and aside...

And we go full circle back to my original statement. The "holy trinity" is still, to this day, the best option we have. The alternative is, GW2. Which would you prefer?

Some of you crack me up. Its more expensive, provides less coverage, and costs the nation $2 trillion dollars. How any of you voted yes is amazing.
