Not to overanalyze this, but it just seems like one of those logic games from when I took the LSAT years ago and I feel compelled to ask: You mentioned one sister but then made it clear that her "boyfriend" was also playing. Then you mention a "brother in law" but you never mention a second...

Just want to point out that no one has yet given a cogent, lucid example of what is toxic about the server's end game. When I asked the question I was wondering if the complaints were a case of a few disgruntled people that feel they got "screwed over" at some point simply venting their...

Care to explain more about the raiding scene's toxicity? Even from my brief experience on the server I can tell that Nihilum seems to dominate end-game stuff, but I have a hard time believing that on a server with a reasonably low population one guild can cock block everyone else...

Playing a chanter/druid combo with a friend. We are only level 30. Over the last couple days we stopped grouping to try and grab some items. Just finished the sol ro chanter mask quest. Starting to get difficult to level in cloth and no decent gear. They did something right with the group...

It's funny. For some reason whenever I read Ut's posts, I hear Dwight: Not necessarily meant to be an insult. Just being honest.

Anyone still play this box? Leveling up and it seems pretty solid atm (from a lowbie perspective).

Apparently the Alpha build won't have an NDA attached to it and it starts soon. Very ballsy move. Guess we will learn pretty quickly if this is worth continuing to follow.KNEEL BEFORE ZOG! Alpha Test Information | Goblinworks If anyone has access to alpha footage, please post links here...

Calling it now. This game will be a sleeper hit. I imagine it will be much like Eve in that they start with a modest player base and grow the base exponentially over time.

So how does the experience bonus on Red work now? I heard +40% per person in a group. Is this the only bonus on Red, or is it on top of a double exp bonus (compared to blue)? Also, is the 40% exp bonus significant enough to make it worth grouping with someone, even if that other person just...

I thought EQ Live was f2p? How could it have paying subs?

I'd like some opinions on the best duo for starting fresh on the server. Factors to consider are leveling efficiency, strength at upper levels, and ability to be effective both outdoors and in dungeons. Was considering necro/chanter or druid/chanter. Druid/chanter may be weak in a dungeon...

You're missing the point of this setup. The point of the setup isn't to have two static EQ servers with high populations. The point is to provide a sustainable way to restart a progression server every couple of years. Starting on a new server and going through the content progressively is...

If that's the worst problem they face we have nothing to worry about. Not only is this the same problem any single shard game faces, but there are ways of resolving it, such as server purges etc. Rogean hasn't confirmed that the above is the plan yet, but I am absolutely 100% sure if it is...

So your plan looks like this: Server A- current blue server Server B- new blue progression server 1. Open Server B after Velious launch. 2. Run Server B through the progressions to a certain point in Velious. 3. Merge Server B with Server A. 4. Restart a fresh Server B, rinse...

Yep. The easiest solution in the world and no one running EQ servers can figure it out for some reason. Mentioned that earlier in this thread. Can't figure out why Rogean and the others can't put it together.

Everything about this game looks absolutely awesome on paper. The real test is how it plays. How does it feel when you jump on your character and start casting spells or swinging a sword? That's the true test. Goblinworks could do everything right, from the back-end stuff to the execution...

There will be plenty of fighting over spots once the game launches. The Landrush stuff is just a starting point from what I gather. There are obviously some advantages to starting in certain places over others and I think that's the point of Landrush.

Suppose you use a really conservative number for the amount of people that would be willing to pay a $15 sub monthly sub to play a professionally run classic progression server done right. Let's put that number at 2,500, which is even fewer than the total people that play the emu servers now...

The short of the long is that SOE refuses to offer what thousands of EQ fans want. So even though the emus have their problems, they are the only place we can go. As numerous people have already stated, most of us would prefer SOE deliver what we want and we would gladly pay for it for the...

First let me see if I understand what you are saying: You don't like P99 because the expansions stop at Velious? Are you saying you want them to stop at a different point? You also mention P99 as stagnant. Do you mean that it is stagnant because once it reaches Velious you can't go through...

I understand what you are saying. But I wasn't referring to emu developers when I was talking about being risky and innovative. The only thing they risk is time. I was talking about other AAA game companies that manage to be risky and innovate and still have the same constraints SOE has...

I'm not entirely sure what you are suggesting, but I agree with you entirely that both P99 and EQ Live progression have their own problems. For the record I don't play P99 and haven't in some time, but it doesn't change the fact that there is great demand for an "early EQ" server done right...

I can tell you in a nutshell why several thousand people play emulated servers instead of EQ- despite the fact that EQ is free. First, to much of the emu audience, the "free" part isn't even a factor. Let's start with the fact that most people playing emu servers are playing P99. Most...

New blog post video detailing the overland map. They talk about player controlled territory, player economy, pvp, etc. Really looking forward to beta in August. The Map | Goblinworks

I calculated an approximate guideline range if he was actually federally convicted of wire fraud. Assuming he has no notable criminal history, his guideline range would be around 33 to 41 months in prison, followed by 1 to 3 years of supervised release. I'm not suggesting he is guilty of...

Want to watch some games this season but have Comcast issues. Anyone have a reliable website they use to watch games? I used to use VIPbox for baseball and mma, but they are offline now

Looks interesting, but I don't see anything about custom content creation (items, NPCs, cities, towns, etc). What I see is the ability to modifyrules, settings, and eventsin an already built world. While that seems cool, it won't be much like NWN if you can't make your own dungeons, mobs...

I'm not opposed to learning and I do tend to think analytically. I'm also not too concerned about investing a lot of effort into it. Frankly, I just wouldn't know where to begin or what to focus on. I've asked around a few times and there doesn't seem to be a very organized method of learning...

Ok, here's my question. If I subscribe to this deal, can I build a multiplayer game without knowing code? Will I have all the tools I need to set one up from the ground up? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to the technical aspects of this stuff- I just remember something Denault said about...

Clavell's Shogun. Done right- which means breaking it into two feature length films, using Ken Watanabe as Toranaga, and using a heretofore previously unknown actor as Blackthorne. Shogun would make one of the most epic movies of all time, without a doubt. I liked Clavell's Tai-Pan as...

Finally pulled the trigger and bought the game/expansion. I jumped straight into the expansion and skipped the campaign in the original game. I am really enjoying the Dragonfall Campaign, and I'm a tough sell. I probably only find 3-5 games worth my time per year and this definitely makes my...

Is there any reasonable way to get Secrets of Faydwer without torrenting it? I checked Steam and didnt see it

To be honest, I think one of the reasons they have nothing to show for it is because the VR team is missing the same things that you guys had 22 years ago- energy (or inspiration) and passion to make a game. McQuaid has passion- that much is certain. But it seems like he is more passionate...

Thanks for the info. So if I build a big, open, gaming campaign will they host it so other players can log into the world and play or do the players download my campaign like a module. Sorry for the ignorance- I have yet to even buy the game.

I can't use Titanium client on this?

Has anyone messed with the modding/building aspect of the game? Can youbuildan open world SR campaign? Is the toolset difficult to work with?

I see a few guides for making your own server- which is the best to use? And keep in mind I have zero programming skills, so the more "step by step" the guide is the better.

Thanks. That is kind of... difficult to understand, but if I'm reading it right it looks like they are attempting to limit cash shop purchases to "fun" items and character services. I'm skeptical on what "fun items" means, but it's good to know that they are trying to avoid "pay to win."

So monthly fee AND cash shop? Does anyone know what the limitations are (generally) of the cash shop?

Sorry, I'm sure this has been discussed quite a bit, but for the sake of getting a succinct answer- ESO does not have a monthly sub but has a cash shop where you can buy in-game goods, etc, right? If yes to the cash shop, is there any limit to what you can or can't buy in the cash shop?
