It would be a bad deal if Miami had any plans to keep Wallace. Getting something out of the guy is definitely better than nothing and losing that large contract is very useful with Suh being so damn expensive next year. I think Miami is trending up after this week which is a far different...

I love versatile different classes: Bard (EQ) Chloromancer(Rift) Necro(EQ) Elementalist(GW2) Riftstalker(Rift) Blood Mage (VG) Druid (WoW) Goblin Shaman(WHO)- lots of fun in PvP

"We can make clouds and like snow too." "Oh My Goodness!"

Fixed for posterity...that will live in abject poverty. Thanks Smed!

Good point but I'm still not sold on Storybricks. This is a company that didn't quite accomplish... anything of note. No other company was waiting in the wings to snap these guys up. Very little background information ever got out. SOE decides not to follow through with the partnership. Everyone...

That's why having multiple servers with different rulesets is such a great idea. Sure, FFA PvP has massive griefing but it is the most popular for a decent subset of players. I really like the short term campaign ideas of this game.

That's exactly how I felt. I enjoy huge plains, unexplored cave systems that may not be inhabited, etc, but it's got to feel designed that way. Both EQ and VG had huge areas where you knew they just didn't get the shit finished. I don't like areas chock full of quests to lead me like paint by...

Easy. Because all that world uses resources which cost money. While it is cool to explore vast areas, good designers of a game usually give you things to do. The games that have lots of space and areas of little content are unfinished and poorly directed(bad leadership). There is a reason Brad...

Exactly. It's more like what happened to Bobbi Kristina. The game basically died years ago but has been kept in an unnatural state of life for an extended period. The few die-hards just cant admit it will never recover...but it never does.

I personally love that campaigns will end and that there will be different rule-sets. I also believe strongly in server stagnation especially in PvP based games. The battle for dominance is always much more fun than after the smoke has cleared.

Lol, well put. At least one of these games is traveling in an upward trajectory and it's not the one in this topic.

Lol, most of the time yes.

So, 5000 supporters argues against the point that Eve on the ground may turn off a lot of new and traditional players? How? How does 5000 supporters argue anything besides a small group of people want to support your vision of a game? Is that number significant in any way?

I disagree. I think Brad knows exactly what he's doing. Just like Smed, he just looks out for #1. He's unorganized because he doesn't give a damn except on payday. And it's even better if he's the only guy getting paid.

They are looking good and I'm excited to see what they have in store for us. Vitalitys argument was just a really bad one. 5000 early supporters says nothing about what kind or level of support they receive. I'm hoping to see at least a $2 mill funding level by the end but even if not, they...

I keep asking that about Brad. Shits on his employees multiple times, doesn't lead, steals money, and eventually runs when discovered. Smed may have released that crap but Brad was the person robbing Microsoft blind instead of investing in his own project. Its not like Brad was some newbie KS...

That's not exactly valid. 5000 backers so far which is exactly in line with the number of people who are already wanting this type of game(actually about 10-15 k less than I think will push hard for this game). When you have $50,000 donated to make potato salad online...than the actual money...

So...extremely poor leadership led to bad decisions and very poor results.

I wouldn't even trust Brad with Tad's money. Soygens maybe but he freely gives up the Washingtons to just about anyone.

Lol, nice! Where do I sign up?

The game sounds awesome so far. I'm not really impressed with the EK and hope they don't put a lot of their resources into that effort. The campaigns are where its at!

I agree names can be tough but generic garbage like Lock, Hammur, and Coldark are really bad in just this installment. Add in the cheesy hidden terror their own creator is scared to broach...ugh.

Those books are the only concrete accomplishment we might see for the next two years...or after they shit out the new version called Red Panda Pirates in MirageLand. C'mon kiddies, DL it now, and play this awesome game for free with your friends!

Yeah, I don't mind the art as bad because there will never be another Keith. The writing is what makes my mind quell in pain. There has to be some out of work subpar writer they can bring on board right?

I don't understand complaining about a loss you basically initiated yourself. You admit to playing way too quickly because you don't think 1 win matches are legit. Get over yourself if you want to play competitive MtG. As you mention, play better, slow roll as well if needed and take the win...

Would pay for that.

Ugh, if core features haven't been working at all...Smed must suck one mean dick. Hirai finally couldn't excuse the incompetence any more and had to sack the entire company. It's not like this new rendition just started the other day. Car salesmanship at its finest.

This is the thread where Popsicle can shine.

Flex in rare form today. I think their whole team is in that mood at this point.

+1 @ Flex. Should have done it on the EQNext thread instead. Even more funny.

It was close enough. You second answer makes my point even more effectively. They never even attempted a second WoW. The reasons were noted above. On topic, this game is toast. As mentioned earlier, you don't get rid of the creators of unique product whose sole point is to make that...

Blizzard stopping development on WoW2 is the best example of why they believe there is no reason to make it. Blizz makes tons of fab games in several areas and has been successful at all of them. What need to make WoW2 when there are no real examples of this market expanding significantly and...

Good luck with a progression server(s). I think it would do pretty well the first year...and then start hemorrhaging subs unless managed very well. The game really isn't built for large pops because of the limited resources. No MMO handles low pops so keeping each server with the right mix while...

So, any use in the Gazlowe I just got?

I think that's the only real way outside of spending money to get there. It's the path I took and I still have a pretty small collection. Aggro will always have 1-2 valid cheaper decks. Mech Mage is pretty easy to put together as well. The Archmage is unnecessary in cheaper builds for wins...

I A lot of EQs draw has always been the OP stuff that could be done by poor programming and testing. I'm not sure I've had many more fun times than with my early bard. Being able to wipe areas that took groups felt pretty good. Quad kiting, fear-kiting, etc were all fun. Not conducive to groups...

Great post Xaxius. Many crappy F2P games are just made to 'get in on the free money'. Another reason there are so many crappy games is because everyone is keeping most of the same old crap and just adding a few bells and whistles. All the easy stuff like levels, static mobs, quests, and even...

Exactly and it doesn't fit with the goals of WoW as a decade old game that is based off endgame activities. Blizzard is trying to offer ways for people to play with each other. That is the goal of every development team. SOE did not want levels to be a hindrance to getting people playing...

Exactly. F2P isn't some big, bad scary monster. On another note, I haven't seen CCP release sub numbers in quite a while and I've heard they have lost seemingly significant numbers. Maybe the single outlier success story needs to shake things up like WoW? Glad to see I can rustle Dumar and...
