Montreal is getting outplayed so badly it's not even fair.

Yea I just picked that Reboot bundle up, although I already have the Tropico Trilogy.

Amazon having a digital mayhem sale 5/22 - 5/31. Some good stuff/bundles in there. Amazon.com: Digital Games Deals: Video Games This isn't a bad one: Don't Die Pack - 9.49 (includes Typing of the Dead, Aliens vs Predator, W20k:Space Marine, Binary Domain and Condemned:Criminal Origins)

They just announced Disney on Ice will feature Frozen. So of course the tickets have been already bought. At least it's 6 months away.

Have they said if you'll be able to get all 30 cards from a runthrough of all 5 wings? Or is it random?

I tell you what, if my daughter would start hitting either of us at that age, she'll would of gotten a nice slap on the hand or the butt with the lesson not to hit people. I'm not really one to hit my kid but my wife has no problem in that regard. Luckily it has happened at very few instances.

After the coffee shop episode a vast majority of guys would of bailed out at that point. The girl sounds desperate and alone. With as many times as the husband called her, it sounds like one of those relationships where someone is insanely jealous to the point where it turns off the other...

Going from 300 to 1200 on a Commodore 64 was insane. All of a sudden a BBS didn't crawl by as it was loading letter by letter. Also sped up my warez downloads quite a bit.

Great episode (the dreadfort scene was horrible though). One question I have (which may have been answered) is how did Pycelle get the necklace off of Dontos if Littlefinger had it on the ship and showed it to Sansa? ETA: Now that I remember, he threw it back overboard after he broke the...

The fact that Brad associates/aligns himself with these people really only reflects badly on him. I mean, who gives a shit about rerolled and what we say, how about his reputation among his peers. Other industry people. I don't see how he's taken seriously anymore from a professional point of...

They don't all go together. This explains it better (page 8) 91% of parents whose children play games are present when games are purchased or rented http://www.theesa.com/facts/pdfs/ESA_EF_2014.pdf

The point is he says the main demographic for video games (he didn't specify platform) is kids and the link proves that it's outright false.

In what fantasy world do you believe that SoE would license out all of their proprietary assets to a third party and then in turn split profits with said third party? Also understand in your scenario where Yeahlight provides unforeseen patches, if a user has issues with the patch guess what...

You really don't know what your talking about. The Entertainment Software Association - Industry Facts Pay particular attention to fact 4 and 5: The average game player is 31 years old and has been playing games for 14 years The average age of the most frequent game player is 35 years old

Agree with this, especially the bolded part. Wildstar doesn't have the advantage of having pre-existing lore or characters that it can fall back on and mask the generic leveling (FFXIV). Give alternate ways to level, like grinding or even public quests. If you're going to have PvP make that...

In game support is 24/7, at least that is what they say. Contacting Customer Service | Sony Online Entertainment

I think the guy is basically senile.

That's just another expense for SoE though. Is Yeahlight going to provide 24/7 support? Is Yeahlight going to provide timely patches? The point of all this that any business asks themselves is 'what's in it for them?' You're asking SoE to devote time/money/resources to something that...

In other words it has nothing to do with skill, it has to do with if you have no life/no job/no family to pretty much play at any time of day you want. You want a game designed for basement dwellers.

I haven't keeping up with what dev said what but there is nothing hardcore or niche about this game from what little I've played it. They may be wanting to target endgame with hardcore players but they (as a company) also like money and the best way to get money is to try to appeal to the WoW...

It's the closest you're ever going to get to one because SoE is never going to replicate that environment. P1999 has to use an outdated client to even achieve that.

Because that's not a classic server then. Even adding fluff items and exp pots means that it's not a true p1999 server replacement. At some point you're going to water down the experience, just like the progression servers. I also love the assumption that everyone who plays on P99 would...

Wasn't Legends just a more expensive server to play on but still sub based? At the time all of EQ was still sub based so it wasn't like they were changing their billing structure for one server. This would be completely different, isolating one server to not use their cash shop. If they add a...

You must be confused about the average WoW subscriber. Not everyone buys the latest expac (for whatever the reason) right away.

Ego is a powerful thing if you let it. I bet that's one of the reasons. Another may have been perception of the other devs at SoE. Maybe he was thought as some sort of royalty there and it's pretty demoralized being reduced to just another faceless dev in a big company.

The girl is crazy and desperate. She's probably also very alone and doesn't have that much of a high opinion of herself if she's groveling the way she is. Best to just ignore her and she'll eventually go away. Engaging her will just give her hope (he's talking to me so he must still be...

I think it would be ridiculous if they charged any wing more than 1600 gold. I don't think it'll be a 1 to 1 conversion for real cash though. Probably $50 for the whole thing (which I still think is a little high).

People who say only EQ had a complex interlocking of factions obviously never tried to sneak into Orgrimmar as a night elf in order to run Ragefire Chasm or to fish for the achievement.Plus there was the achievement to kill all the opposing faction leaders which used to be a big deal back in the...

After playing it some more, I've kind of changed my mind on the graphics. While initially I thought it looked good (I don't mind the 'cartoon' look), it's not as polished or feel smooth as WoW. It almost feels they are trying to capture the look of WoW but WoW circa 2004, not today (Pandaria...

Why does it matter so much to you that some else enjoys content? Why is the enjoyment of the game you are playing dependent on whether someone else is accessing the same shit you are?

So not only is this type of enjoyment/nostalgia limited to a small group, it's further limited to only people in top end guilds who were racing for content. And then you want to know why games are not designed like this today.

At what levels do you get into housing and adventures?

I don't think it's modern MMO's, it's players. In order for what you described to happen, the player needs to be fully invested in the game and actually give a shit not only about their character but the characters around them. They need to care about the items, care about lore, etc. A vast...

Well fired this up and played through the tutorial. It is pretty bland though so far. Just your typical on rails MMO with no hook that I can see that would keep me interested. I don't mind level questing if it's something that's somewhat interesting but with this I was just mindlessly just...

I will agree that the dungeon design of EQ is something no other game has replicated although vanilla wow came close. It doesn't always have to have a bunch of twists and turns. If it tells a good story that's also fun ( nek castle in EQ 2 comes to mind)

I'm surprised your agent didn't raise more of a fuss since it seems there was a few red flags (signing early, not clean a day before movein, etc). If it's just cleaning stuff I probably wouldn't worry about it although you are probably on the hook for the carpets. Now if it was more serious...

Probably not much you can do once you take the keys and sign the closing. In my opinion if I had did a final walkthrough the day before closing and stuff was as messed up as you said, I would of delayed but then again I can understand if you had all that stuff already scheduled. Who told you...

No sane company is going to do a billing process for one server in one game when every other game (including the other servers in EQ) they have uses a different billing process (F2P + cash shop).

Nope, we'll never know. I wonder how design decisions down the road would of negatively affected the game as a result of Brad's management. Once the KS got started, I never thought this game was going to turn out to be what everyone wanted even if it had funded.
