Confirmed: Story at ZAM.

Hearthstone, WoW stuff, Diablo 3 stuff (expansion maybe?) and a new Starcraft 2 campaign? I don't know, nothing too exciting and nothing that probably couldn't have just occupied a small booth at E3.

Still waiting on official confirmation it seems but it looks like Blizzard is pushing reset on Titan. Given that it's Blizzard developing and they've reduced the staff from 100 to 30, that 2016 "at the earliest" is going to turn into 2026. Edit: As Alkorin notes, that's by 70 (not to 70)...

I'm on a retro kick lately, playing awesome things like Super Metroid on Wii U because the system is hot garbage not counting the classic releases. I did just play through MGS: Rising which is a fun 4 hour experience. I'm getting pretty bored though, too, but I think that'll change when the next...

They'll show a gameplay trailer and let a bunch of dudes play it in booths in a very loud environment. Whether it's awesome or not, well, that sort of depends on who is judging it. I think anyone gaming publications outside of MMO-specific sites will either ignore it or continue to be shocked...

This is the only MMO-ish thing I'm playing right now and I'm having fun with it. I really need to look into actually understanding it outside of looking for the exploding spots on the map and trying to shoot people in the face. It's pretty generous what they give for free, so that's nice. I wish...

I'm surprised it took this long. A lot of people hate the idea, I definitely did about two years ago, but it's something you've either got to accept or move on with the genre. Outside of niche titles with a lean budget, I can't imagine MMOs going forward to not offer it (Blizzard definitely...

I probably rushed through it because I started playing way too late last night to give a shit about anything. I'll give it another go today.

Aren't these guys known for, if nothing else, elaborate character customization? It didn't seem very elaborate to me and holy shit I can't wait for the day that bald isn't the best hair option.

Negged for being "out of the historical loop my brah" despite seeing every stupid post on FoH regarding this topic, lol. People on a car forum are going to get passionate about car topics, same applies here. The argument of "omg can't believe he puts effort into his argument lol games are...

You mean someone is talking about a huge MMO story on an MMO forum about a dude who actively participated in MMO discussion up until the point his kingdom came crashing down? Crazy.

Is that even up for debate? I figured anyone looking forward to it would have accepted that already. It's going to be a F2P game with sub options, you can basically lock that one in.

You're nuts if you think there's not going to be a market with real money transactions in EQ Next.

Just saw that. There was an FoH Storybricks poster, what was his name? Did he ever make it over here? SPILL THE GOODS.

There was a time when I thought this MMO might actually be one of the ones that would be worth a damn and that Curt's passion about the industry seemed like a really positive attribute (even if I hated nearly everything else he stood for). LO-fucking-L.

I'd prefer a subforum for polls, please.

No, things are fine. Edit: To be more constructive, I think decent moderation goes a long way over creating a poll for every topic someone whines about. We'd see 12 polls a day at that rate.

Look at their track record, they are basically the Elder Scrolls company that took a break with Fallout 3. If it's a new TES, then it'll be quite a while before it launches and on a new set of consoles (and PC) at that.

That will have no impact on TESO, and directly relate to what's next for Bethesda Game Studios.

Outside of seeing what you're wearing, I don't see how anyone could prefer it -- it feels completely janky. I mean, it's better than Oblivion but that isn't saying anything. Either way it's irrelevant, TESO is going to have a shit first person mode and it's funny hearing them pretend like it...

What about the fabled first person view they're pretending is a legitimate thing? The video sure made it look like bullshit. I guess everyone already knew that answer anyways; games are designed around a certain perspective and if TESO is having hell with its primary viewpoint, you just know the...

This game is going to bomb so hard. Who knows, I still may buy it because Elder Scrolls but I'll likely quit in a month like 95 percent of the population. I know they've been pushing their mega server as a feature to the game but it's also a strategic marketing move. Technically they'll never...

Voted no but mostly because I don't think the OP is very well defined. Given the history of this forum you're going to get a shitload of EQ nostalgia but I'm sure WoW is pretty good at derailing, too. People hate a lot of modern MMOs (and rightfully so) so discussion goes back to the last time...

It's a little shill, but the guy is trying to sell a product and he damn sure isn't going to say "SoE is second to some." The same thing applies to his returning to EQ and EQ2 logic. The obvious answer is that people either aren't leaving or are returning to WoW in most cases. However, all...

I bought it around the launch of Kunark. I was a dirty ass beggar, too. I would ask any random people for money. This one dude was a dick to me (a dwarf at the time) and when I bumped back into him about an hour later in BB he felt bad and gave me some bronze armor and a few platinum. I felt...

Maybe. But smokejumper's other tweet alluded to something else. I honestly don't care, I'm just glad permadeath isn't actually a thing.

Well, the name certainly is terrible.

Not to dwell on something insignificant but I find this part hilarious, more so if it's actually true. Blizzard should know Blizzard production pace is slower than any developer out there, even as they churn out retreads (often for the worse) like Diablo 3. We'll all be playing Titan in about 5...

https://twitter.com/j_smedley/status/309714298811322368 Smedley even says as much, though there has to be something that sparked that thought.

I don't know, for the non-raiding type I found there to be a lack of noteworthy content. The initial faction restrictions made the idea of starting a new character sound terrible, too. Starting the same treadmill of zone a to zone b to zone c didn't sound like a fun time (not even race exclusive...

Who knows. I don't find PlanetSide 2 to be offensive with Microtransactions but buying a helmet in PlanetSide 2 and buying a helmet in EQ are two totally different things. You're right here. This is supposed to be their big, grand return and Smedley has made a couple of comments about how much...

I figured the greater suggestion there is the inevitable open world PVP and getting my ass shanked. I love PVP in shooters, etc., and while I don't mind it in MMOs, that's not exactly where I get my kicks.

Maybe I played EQ in bitch mode too long but the idea of losing everything I've worked for always sounded terrible to me. As an optional hardcore server, that'd be OK I guess. I'd love to hear their definition of permadeath.

I'm sure it has to do with the realization that there are way more shitty PCs out there than custom built rigs so ensuring said shitty PCs can run TESO works in their benefit.

Smedley just tweeted"We like permadeath for EQN" Not sure how I feel about that.

Getting OP is pretty easy in Reckoning and even on hard the game was a breeze. The shotgun-like bow skill you can get destroyed just about anything. The MMO quest hub shit killed any desire to consider going through the game again.

I guess I should rephrase what I said. I'm not sure if anything will come of the IP and honestly, I don't really care at this point. It had the potential to grow into something big and scoffing off more than a million in sales seems ridiculous considering how many bombastic failures the...

Three millionand regardless of whatever ridiculous budget was laid out that required a brand new IP to clear three million in sales (according to the governor) doesn't diminish what should have been a success story. But we all know budgeting right wasn't in the 38 Studios portfolio. Any new...

An engine doesn't define a perspective. First person would be nice, but it's almost a given that it will be third person.

SOE Live is happeningAugust 1-4so it'll debut then. There's ateaser logoabout the future of EverQuest. Laerazi, I keep crossing my fingers for an MMO to implement Oculus Rift support; that'd be amazing. Here soon I think I'm going to bite the bullet and order one. First shipments go out in...
