    Yup 6 here as well... I'm really curious how far they are into development. I'm looking forward to their announcement. I'm sure it is just a KS primarily but that's something...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Man.... we traveled a long way from my posts earlier this afternoon. You start talking EQ and things go crazy. I'll have to catch up but just some quick points. We can handle an old school game and I do believe people know what they want. The trick is understanding that we probably cannot...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I completely agree. There a lot of stuff I would choose to never do again or experience. However, I'm just confused how a lot of simple elements were lost and replaced with more complicated features. More is not always better. Also, this was primarily aimed at how I would fix SoE's current...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    My question is why did we move away from the spell book/limited slots and hotkey/abilities like in EQ? What did we require anything more? When I think about it, even in modern games, I need no more than that and each spell in EQ was very memorable. I knew exactly what I needed and for what...

    Don't remind me that Pantheon is suppose to be "our" game. If that games was made for us then we have no hope. Who was EQ's dungeon designer again? Wasn't he apart of something recently? Pantheon maybe? Lower Guk, Sol B, and Sebilis are still may Top 3 favorite dungeons of all time. I...

    Problem is no one with any seat or power in the industry will ever read this except for Scott Hartsman maybe. I don't even know who lurks around here anymore but someone needs to make a game for people like us. They've made every other niche game think it was going to capitalize on its...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I'm pretty sure there are more people who think like each of us do than actually play the game. I'd be willing to bet those still playing would happily accept these changes as well. I just don't get why they want to waste time and resources taking it further from the solution. I guess in...

    Lol... thanks but I don't think it takes any stroke of genius to realize these problems. I'd bet everyone here has said this at one time or another but if they'll fly me out and let me have about 6 months with their team, i'll make sure it gets done because I'm not going to even consider them...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I think SoE's challenge has been to put as much value as they can to the SoE All-Access. Advertising X amount of games for one price is their angle. The more they take away, the less the appeal. However, I don't really see the how adding more turds to the pile is going to make it smell any...

    Let's be fair was Kostar probably is.... He's a name just to generate a little bit of excitement and give street cred to Crowfall. If you look at the mini-bios of all those guys, they don't look the guys that do much outside what they want. Kostar is a "name" and tied to some big IP's. There...

    For me, they need to start talking a bit. Regardless of what this transition really means, they need a morale booster. They need to show off something nice with EQNext and start with the carrot at the end of the stick. Everyone is slowly walking away just because it seems dead or at the very...

    1.) Would love to know. The posts upon posts of player outcry gives plenty of evidence. Absolutely a disaster after Scott and the team had made some huge strides in EQII. 2.) One of his most ignorant claims. 3.) This made me laugh a little as wherever you see Georgeson's name, it's...

    I just feel dirty around Georgeson too. He just gives me bad vibes. When a chick interviews him, I just feel like he's going to knock her over the head and take her away. May be an unfair assessment but he has the smile of The Joker.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    If you count his time with EQII, that's about his most notable mess up but I think people just view him as a guy who just spouts out hollow statements. He really hasn't done anything of worth yet but I guess he hasn't done anything horrible either. Though my personal opinion, I blame him for...

    Nah i'm serious. There was a time Nagafen had a lot of good drama on it and plenty of board drama. It felt like EQ again lol. The placed was packed, everyone knew essentially everyone on the server. You knew the good, the idiots, etc. It was a really good experience for about a year or so...

    I think a mistake we make is the idea just because it may become "hardcore" doesn't mean we have to devote the time. Maybe its good that for once we can't, as my students say, "no life it" for a week or two and max out. I know that it won't change anyone but personally I think it would be nice...

    In regards to PvP, I just want it to be meaningful. No beating around the bush about it... I would like to see PvP be for control. If you control maybe Capital City A then this gives you access to certain raids, merchants, rested experience (taverns), etc. If you don't have this capital...

    I'm having flashbacks of Rift. Don't get me wrong, I loved Rift in the beginning but quickly became bored. In all fairness, maybe I misunderstood the use and intent of the rifts but in my mind I really felt they would be more apart of the game. I remember everyone would run to rifts and with...

    I'm still curious to what comes out in ~20 days. I'm sure it is going to be the KS but these guys seem pretty creative with their approach. I don't think it will be your typical KS. I think they'll go all out. Then the question will be can the execute on promises. Once the word gets out and...

    I'm being completely serious when I ask this... not trolling in the least. How much time would you estimate these guys have invested into created these screenshots. I'm sure they are staged? I'm just curious what these guys did and/or are doing different than what the Pantheons guys did when...

    I laughed when I read this... it's true... so true. Just glad to see these guys are taking a more positive tone and using a little marketing sense here in the beginning. Sure, their job is easy now. They are not carrying around much of a dart board right now but we'll see as time goes along.

    http://crowfall.com/#/news/update-from-the-founders You know what I do like about these guys? They just seem pretty transparent and straight forward. Maybe it was just Brad, but I always felt like with Pantheon, I didn't "really" know what was going on and what I did know had a good chance...

    Wonder if they'll let me buy it? Seriously though... I bet there are people out there that would love to have the rights EQ. Love it, hate it, or given up on it, it has a name and could still be leveraged successful niche game. I would pay to have EQ classic to kick around on. I would pay to...

    Let's just agree to disagree. I don't think the discussion is worth berating each other and claiming "mental problems" or calling anyone "stupid". I played Rift and SWTOR, maxed out multiple characters and was active on both ends of the their model. My point was merely this, i'm apprehensive...

    This... In what way? Just getting their numbers back up? Why did people leave? Why did it take the model to revive some of their numbers? It made their numbers look a little better but it was still a desperate move in all cases to keep the games from practically shutting down. So now you...

    Completely disagree... By supporting FTP/Microtransactions within the MMO genre you are supporting a business model where it is more important to develop shop items than the game itself. Look at SWTOR and ESO. No one was going to pay to play those games. The only reason to play them is they...

    I guess what I was aiming at is the fact a true MMO, with subscriptions, no cash shop, and a lot of classic elements can work. I like the statement above that is justifies the subscription cost. Simply make the game worth paying for and people will pay for it. Don't try to gimmick me so you...

    FFXIV, to me, is the closest thing to part II of the MMO genre. It pretty well has all the classic elements with updated graphics and a beautiful, memorable soundtrack. Sure, FFXIV has incorporated some of today's MMO "standard" features but it really felt like a classic MMO (just remove the...

    Wait, where's the Unit3D stock art logo/watermarks? I'm just not use to this type of marketing....polished screenshots that looks as if the team held themselves accountable for presenting high-quality, original content. What's up with that? New trend?
