So... is the expansion and 2.0 the same thing or something different. I received an email that made them out to be two very different things (which is possible since I haven't kept up with the story) but anyway, are either of the updates going to make the game any better? Especially in regards...

I was just saying that from a design perspective, with their current reward system, it is most effective to have smaller dungeons with less content because you are trying to achieve a currency to get armor. It is a better pay out, to take a daily quest and then any other quest that may have to...

I have no idea if any in the industry or some SoE even reads this former (seriously, not that it would even matter) but, I really thought about something today while reading the forums. Please toss the system to where you go to X dungeon(s), run it as quickly as possible, X amount of times...

Well, EQ had to allow for multiple groups (camps) which I really miss in games. Since everything is instanced, who need all of that content when you are wanting to hit 3-5 names and get out so you can get some stupid currency so you can buy some stupid piece of generic armor from a vendor...

I really hope they understand what they are saying and KNOW this is all being used as a marketing spin because if they are that ignorant, I really feel for them. I maxed out several characters, on each side, and I did a lot of the story line, in addition to PvP'ing myself to death, and had no...

Exactly how I feel... I think it's a good thing though to feel this way. Maybe there's game out there that doesn't hold your hand completely. I just haven't found the right class but I have only played thief (beta) and Mesmer now. I'm trying a Ranger next. I'm so PvP centric it makes it...

Figures... If I get one after just purchasing Guild Wars 2 this weekend that would be par for the course. (Nothing in the email as of yet.)

I actually picked up the game while it was on sale and i'm still attempting to find out what class is best for me. I'm still going to between Ranger and Thief but anyway, I post just mention that I noticed a lot of people in the starting areas. Probably the most I have seen in any other...

Yeah.... kind of hard to believe that because I was one (and I do mean one) that kept going back to EQII. Primarily due to the same reason I did the same in EQI, I had a lot of friends that played and that's were my time was invested. However, each time I went back, I noticed fewer and fewer...

Again, this all sounds good but just how much of what is said, planned, or rumored, actually ends up a launch. There's time MMO's have delayed crucial parts of the game for 3, 6, 12 months that would be release "soon" after launch (covered in promises). Hope he proves me wrong.

I love to go back to this time. Logging on, get your list of targets, guild bank for regeants, hitch a ride, and begin buffing. I was lead cleric for awhile and had to get the heal rotations, buffing, and seconding healing down and I remember having a list of people I could contact and trust...

I made up my mind to not get it and soon after I get the discount email and see this.... Heck, for $39.99 what do I have to lose with no subscription fee? I've spend it on worse I'm sure on MMO's... See you on the other side...

If you read the PC Gamer from 1999 featuring EQ, this was part of Brad's vision. He has always wanted Guilds, Tradeskillers, and even individuals to develop as an extension of the main city. If you look at EQ2 and remember how you had Qeynos/Freeport with the smaller villages/towns were the...

I appreciate the info and I am beginning to wonder if it is better for me to just try it out. I really wasn't impressed with the betas so I passed but I keep a PvP itch and LoL isn't satisfying it. You think it's worth a box copy though? If I get 3 months out of it I am happy given there is...

Is there anything for this game on the horizon in terms of future patches? Is this game declining in terms of population or is there plenty of PvP going on? Also, I never hear anything about Open World PvP.... is there such a thing in GW2?

Wow... they really paraded this around and made it a much bigger deal. Given that I only beta tested the game it was hard for me to decipher the truth.

I'm the IT Director for a School district. Essentially I have people under me fresh out of college or getting some hours in that are finishing up or just out of high school.

Everything up and running? Looks like some people didn't come into work today (could have been the snow) but, is this really that much of a game changer. I guess if people consider this the only solid MMO option right now, a patch like this would be a big deal.

Anxious to see the consensus after the patch hits. They seem to have a good list of changes. If everything goes well, I may fire the game back up. I know it's all I have heard at work. For whatever, it has quite a bit of people excited.

In fairness though, how many people have really been a part of multiple successes? I'm sure several of them have resume's with games they have worked out a mile long but most of these guys have been involved with 1 or 2 major games. Brad has what? EQ and VG? I'm not taking up for him or...

We need more invites! haha

They probably made it to where you fight Fippy Darkpaw, Quillmane, etc. That's cool and all but I want to see 2-3 raid encounters. Exact replicas of Vox, Naggy, and at least one plane between PoF or PoH.

It's simple... they are receiving funding based on the IP and it also gives them leverage for solid box sales. You make a good cinematic, Youtube videos, and throw some nice HQ images here and there and you have yourself a game. Everyone plays a month or so, you go F2P, have people spend...

The worst thing about the game is the fact there is enough gullible or maybe a more fair label, curious people to make this game profitable at launch. It's going to sell plenty of boxes and i'm going to go out on a limb and say that there will be a lot of people either sub for 3 months to "give...

What? Interesting... Any other zone/god correlation or anything cool like that going on? pics maybe?

Typical MMO irony... I have a feeling (taking into consideration the Skyrim/console fans) this may be SWTOR all over again...

I remember Jmellow. I began on Solu Ro before I left for Lanys (December I think). Jmellow was walking around Freeport showing off his FA. After that, he disappeared (not sure for good or what) but the rumor was they banned him for something.

This may be one of the best PvP changes that would actually improve gameplay than I have seen in any other PvP game. Most changes I have seen in PvP games has been primarily a step toward depreciating the game.

I know... I didn't know that they had tied the physical reality of the game into a storyline. Thought it was a cool touch to the game that the end of the actual 1.0 servers lead to the cinematic and future of the game as we know now. Again, a friend had sent it to me because I had been talking...

A friend of mine sent me this yesterday and I thought this was kind of cool. Many of you may have seen this or was even a part of it but I thought this was a nice touch. I can't help but like the fact the tied a story into the physical reboot of the game. There's another video that is about...

This is what I would love but there has been little actual server/game updates in a while. Mainly gift card give aways...

True... how soon I forget about HoT. Well, I guess even more so Scott has made a good living being a clean up guy. I would say then his next move is to be involved with a project since infancy. Unless he wants a piece of EQNext....

I agree with Swag and Word (and whomever else).... I see no point to release them at launch. I am hoping for Velious to be locked for a period of time. I understand with Kunark due to iksar/starting zones but Velious needs to be locked probably until the summer.

Hartsman was famed anyway for taking a mess (EQ2) and improving it. We have never seen him, until Rift, start from the beginning with something and be "the guy". I thought he did better to some but didn't live up to his expectations. It may not be fair but everyone receives a report card in...

I always liked Trost in what bits I've heard or read.... Isn't he with Trion now? Not sure what game...

That's true and somewhat a concern of mine but if you think about it... The player base should be pretty lumped together initially. Kegz, my recommendation would be to control some of the flow of the player base with hot zones and make it really worth their while. I would attempt to watch...

I think the intention is CU +Hartsman = Draegan's Dream I'm not going to lie, if Scott came out and said he was apart of it, I would consider it more and lend more of my attention but I'm not sure how likely this is....

This all sounds good and anyone that has known Mark from his previous involvement knows he lives for opportunities to "write things up" and provide public postings. I'm cool with it and I've actually enjoyed the reads but he's not shining any new light here. Bottom line, it's cool, i'll...

Probably jump on this just for the initial rush. One thing I loved in EQ was jumping on a new server (regardless if I stayed) and leveling up through at least 20. Sometimes I would at least try to make it to the LGuK and SolB camps for the heck of it. Always a blast....
