Must be overloaded. Not working. Can't hear a thing.

Araysars really gonna be disappointed this dude doesn't listen to Rush...............

We can mow him down in a hail of gunfire, long as we make sure not to infringe on his rights and waterboard him.......I LOVE AMERICA!

Haha seriously, that's exactly what I was thinking.

I've always wondered this. Seriously, what's the point?

No. I did not bomb the people in Boston. Because, I'm sure someone will suggest it

/spews beer all over keyboard...............ok, that shit was funny.

What's the story behind the pic? When was that taken?

I doubt that's possible. I love the engine and the build tools regardless. I think Hero is a damn fine choice.

Do you build the world then populate it, or build a zone, then populate it?

I, at least temporarily went ahead and purchased the Hero engine to start. Worst case scenario I change my mind in the next 6 months to a year. Right off the bat I can tell you the big disadvantage is acquiring art assets to at least use as placeholders. Art is insanely expensive if your not an...

For the purpose of this conversation, we will just say it's similar to Everquest.

It will be more or less a small MMO. Think....Antonica size. Don't get me wrong, it will be fully functioning, quests, crafting, races, classes, dungeons, raids....it's just going to be very small. It's more or less going to be a prototype of a bigger project I want to create when I graduate.

My wife and I are creating a small independent MMO as a hobby. I've narrowed it down to either Unity or Hero as the engine and was leaning to Hero but wanted to hear some opinions from those on here before I plop down my $99. This thread was created to specifically discuss the strength's and...

Are the developers really to blame for doing what the investors tell them to?

Keep that political crap out of here.

Ahh thanks Itzena. I didn't know that. Yea, Tigole got hired to, I saw that but it states Rob was the guild leader prior to Kaplan. That's not true?

This got me thinking........... Rob Pardo. Did anyone happen to notice he's now the fucking Chief Creative Officer at Blizzard? Jesus, in 2002 he was the guild leader for LOS now he's one of the biggest dogs around. Now unless I'm not aware of his past connections, this has to be one of the...

Yea sorry, my intention was to be sarcastic. Trusting Sony to produce to a AAA game.....I would love to have seen the Intrade odds on that.

The game appeared to be fun so they had to scrap it and start over....

Were a small minority, but I thought POP was easily the best expansion since Velious. It was the best written, most cohesive story line ever produced for EQ. It took you from one area to the next so smoothly and the raids were a blast........well, the first 10 times you did them. Raiding the...

This is exactly correct. I haven't been so much as nervous in a game since I retired from EQ. Games are painless now. You lose next to nothing and there's no reason to care if you die or don't. It doesn't elicit any response at all. Which is probably why I haven't played a game for more then a...

Brad is excellent at what he does. It's a limited set of skills, sorta like a pinch hitter in baseball or a kicker in football. Long as he sticks to his field and not try to get involved in management he will do fine. I wish him the best. EQ still stands as the best MMO ever produced in my eyes...

Someone really started a thread to mourn the death of a dictator?

Can you imagine the EPIC rant by furor if the encounters changed everytime FOH went to raid? hahahaha

No one is trying to "fuck the other guy". But look at this in terms of working. What your saying is, employee Joe is at home chilling and work calls him in on his day off. He goes in, works a full shift. Someone calls in and they need him to stay late so he agrees and goes into overtime. Because...

Or when you are playing a game, more specifically, an MMO, you do want to LIVE in it. That's the point of playing a game or watching a movie. You want an escape. You want to immerse yourself in the land of Norrath in this case. We used to make jokes about open cans of spaghettiO's and empty cans...

I have to say, if player X plays 6-8 hours a day, and player Y plays 2-3 hours a day, then player X DOES deserve the rewards that come with that time investment. I've been both a casual player, and then later joined the top raiding guild on the server, and I can say, I worked my ass off to get...

The hitching was annoying, and there was tons of bugs, but I never thought it was unplayable. I would still be playing it today if the servers were not ghost towns. Hard to enjoy an MMO if your one of (what seems like) 12 people on the whole server. It's still a good game, just needs lot of dev...

Haha, fair enough however the decision to "WOWify" Vanguard was not met with open arms. There was a considerable amount of anger, at least on my side as a beta player and reading the forums. The players that were there, were there for "the vision", the difficulty, the uniqueness etc...When it...

Sigh........reading comprehension is critical here: The original relationship with Microsoft was working and mutual. When they changed management is when things started to go downhill initially. Now this isn't giving Brad a free pass for his moronic decisions, it does however point to the first...

Actually, your incorrect regarding my remarks about the Microsoft involvement: http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06...d-post-mortem/ I will find Brads actual quote, but he goes into detail about the management change at Microsoft which led to the neutering of the game. Not being a jerk, but...

I'm glad you mentioned that. I was there from nearly the very beginning. I was there before Sigil even had forums. I was in beta and I was there through launch. And what I remember is Vanguard had a HUGE following, and not just following out of curiosity, everyone on the forums was insanely...

Draegan, Give me a short bullet list of reasons why EQ today will NOT work. This isn't the political thread so please take this seriously because I believe strongly that an EQ type game will work with a few tweaks here and there. I just want to see what your opinion is so I can see if I'm wrong...

Where else can I pay money to get insulted on a daily basis??? I'm IN!!! In all honesty, this is a great site. I'll donate to support the site. Thanks to Draegan and Tuco for keeping this alive.

Why don't you view his post as a possible question a designer would ask about his own ideas for an MMO? "How do I keep people logged in, having fun and spending many hours in my game". Think about it, they spend hundreds of man hours designing, developing, creating artwork, mobs, and quests for...

I agree with half of that statement. People do need to slow down, but they won't, which is why a "forced" slower leveling progression is necessary. But removing levels also removes the reward factor. How many nights did we(assuming you played EQ) stay awake for "just one more level, just one...

If you start out with everything you need, what's the point of playing? Don't you think in some respects this is exactly what many games have done by simplifying the entire process, which removes the motivation to even play. This is why current games being released have such a short shelf life.

She has great tits. WTF is she having augmentation for?
