I could be wrong, but it just looks like one oversized spaulder.

It tells you something about the power of the IP. Besides, hope springs eternal. There is so much interest in the game BECAUSE of the lack of information, not in spite of it. To paraphrase Wilde, interest in Vanguard was the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Interest in EQ Next is...

Fohguild had some screens of some of the ugliest characters I have ever seen that were made using Vanguards original character creator (before it was changed to disallow the creation of characters that looked profoundly handicapped). I suppose those are lost forever, which is a shame because...

We could speculate about the intent behind the original mechanics all day long. Frankly, it doesn't matter. What it comes down to is that many of the core mechanics were tossed/changed over the years and that long series of changes is how we got to what EQ is today. Pretty much anyone...

Totally agree that any changes are a slippery slope. I have played on many emu servers that quickly went overboard. That said, I can think of maybe 4 or 5 absolutely crucial changes from classic that should be implemented immediately and ditching the hybrid penalty is one of them imo. I...

I wrote a long, detailed write up on fohguild, but I really don't feel like rewriting it here, so I'll summarize: SoD is NOT EQ. It feels a lot like EQ, but it's a different game. If you go into SoD trying to play it like it's EQ (like I did for a long time), you will just get pissed off...

Has anyone messed around with the content/modding stuff with nwn2? I bought nwn2 when it first came out, very excited to build my own campaign but was really disappointed in the bugs and limitations I ran into. I worked a ton with the nwn1 content creator (the solstice tool I think it was...

Any media links, esp vids? I tried google but only found a few screen shots Edit: also curious where the best place to get the complete nwn2 is? And- Has anyone messed around with the content/modding stuff with nwn2? I bought nwn2 when it first came out, very excited to build my own...

I heard the steam thing, that's why I'm asking. Describe these flaws. How's the pve aspect of the game? Is there a board clan?

So what's up? For those actually playing the current build of the game, is it time to fire it up and try it? I've been casually following this game for years and have been waiting for it to achieve a playable state. I love the concept and the ideas, but just from keeping track of DF threads...

Have a link? There are several RPGs based on lotr. Edit: I'm guessing you are talking about The One Ring-http://www.cubicle7.co.uk/our-games/the-one-ring/ Anyone reviewed it?

If you like the idea of a d&d setting but with simpler rules and less prep work for the dm Dungeon World is a new RPGs you may want to check out. I haven't played myself, but reviews have been positive and the concepts are pretty novel.http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/15/15793.phtml. Btw...

Launched on time and successfully. That's a good start. Half the AAA mmos can't do that.

Yeah- this is what I remembered: Situation 1 - You are soloing and you have a summoned pet or a charmed pet (not including Dire Charm)- * If you do any damage to the monster at all, you get all of the experience. * If you don't do any damage to the monster, the pet gets 75% of the...

It certainly wasn't the Velious era setup. I recall this was changed pretty quick after people realized how ridiculous it was.

Whoa- really?? That's crazy. If your pet does more than 50% damage you get an exp penalty??

Very unlikely Lady D was gullible about anything. If he let you get away with something I can almost certainly assure you it was by choice. He had a great sense for the overall balance that being a good GM requires and was certainly one of the best around. He was also merciless to have as an...

Internets to whoever knows who owned the cat in the cat box.

Looks very promising. Can't wait for release. Map editor to design your own campaigns is just bonus. Two questions: 1. Anyone know if there is multiplayer support for the game? I.e. is the map editor only going to work for single players campaigns? 2. How sandboxy is SR Returns, anyone...

I might have missed it, but they don't have an eta for launch yet- right?

I just started playing again and I'm deciding which character I want to bring to end game. My highest at the moment is a DK, but he is still low atm (25). Anyone with end game or DK knowledge want to comment on: 1. the soloability of DKs through the levels up to end game; 2. DK group utility...

Toxic how? Any specifics at all?

Damn, I was hoping for something new- those were the places to be back when I put the game down years ago. No biggie. Does anyone have a link to a good leveling guide or a site that lists zones/levels/quests/loots?

Any recommendations for where to go at 25+? I'm just started playing my DK again after several years, so I am very rusty (and my abilities seem fucked up).

Thanks for the responses, links, and suggestions all. It seems pretty clear that without completely rewiring my entire life, the programming thing isn't going to happen. That was my initial thought, but I wanted to get some feedback in case there was some type of new development that would...

I am sure there is probably no easy answer to this question, but here goes: If I want to design/program my own game, what programming language should I focus on? Is there anyonelanguage that I should start with? Is it hopeless to try and be versatile enough with just one language, or is...

You have to level up with diplo to get the buffs, I assume?

Does anyone have a link to any decent customized UIs? I have to be honest, I hate the default.

Pretty much exactly what I was looking for, thanks. I think you convinced me to solo the Bard. Bard was one of maybe 2 classes I didn't play extensively in EQ so I'm looking forward to testing its spiritual successor.

Brad is quite talented at conceptual design, clarity of vision, and communication of that vision. On another note: I'm messing around with VG for the first time in a while. Rolled up a Bard and was thinking about boxing. Anyone know if they box well? It seems like if you equip an...

The only one I can add that hasn't been mentioned yet is "The Box of Delights" an old BBC production from 1984. I remember seeing it was a kid and its memories haunted me for years. It is set at Christmas time in England, 1934. A young boy befriends an old "Punch and Judy" man at a railway...

Was going to ask the same thing. Hook me up with info if so.

Looking for approval when possible. Same name. Thanks.

Whoa, let me qualify here. I didn"t write that to discourage anyone from pursuing a career in the mmo gaming field. I didn"t write that with any purpose in mind, really- other than to simply communicate my experience as someone who was an "industry outsider" who got hired onto a big mmo project...

This, definitely. Too many mmo"s are a derivative of a derivative of a derivative. Recently, there has been way too much evolution and simplynorevolution- as clich? as that saying is, it"s the most concise way to put it. At this point it"s not about adding and refining what"sin the game(more...

If you buy games based on player base and polish itisillogical. I don"t, personally. It took years to build EQ"s polish and player base. The core and the fundamentals of the game were fun and that"s what kept me playing despite a clear lack of polish, and I could really care less about the...

You got me all wrong brother I don"t wish for any such thing, nor do I happen to think it is going to be an issue in this case. I am not the type of person that hangs around in threads about games I don"t like (to be honest, I always thought that was a little strange). I was just poking fun...

I suppose you can keep your fingers crossed
