    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Why do you insist on creating straw-man arguments when discussing the viability of an authentic recreation of EQ? Consols with 2 controllers, RvR MMO's, old-school 8-bit games, Diablo II? Really? Yeah, I engaged you bit on this, but these are all straw-mans to the point that an authentic...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    We will just have to agree to disagree on what the actual market for this type of game is. In regards to the constant "it has to be done right" argument. The one thing people keep missing that in order to "do it right", the cost in development would still be so prohibative that the market...

    Bingo. The market is not there for 2-button console that will rival PS4, XBone, or even the original Wii. Likewise, the market is not there for a AAA-EQ clone. The market is niche as hell and the budget (and quality) will have to reflect that. Huge world, lots of dungeons, tons of classes...

    Honest question: Do you think a console with a 2-button controller could get Kickstarter funding in 2014?

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    When most players engage in this entertainment, they want their playtime to be as efficient as possible. Riding a horse may be fun, but when the point isn't riding the horse, it's getting to the park to see your friends, people will still take the car. That's the point. You still think riding...

    It saddens me to watch people like Merlin thrash around begging for the horse-and-buggy version of MMO's when we are in the internal-combustion-engine era. You keep gripping that buggy whip, Merlin. Someday it will be worth a ton as an antique relic.

    If that's true, then I am forced to assume that what he went to Microsoft with was a bar napkin with his name on it and a budget number. LOL @Microsoft indeed.

    Nah, they'd help fund a huge portion, but would demand a royalty. They'd probably do something like $800,000 for 49% (they aren't game developers, they don't want to be making those decisions), $1 royalty for every box sold and a $0.50 royalty on every monthly subscription. That sounds more...

    Kildrukaun's Prophecy - Progression server

    I've met Lizard. He saw me when I was on Craag in Feerrott at level 5 and handed me a shield and some helm. My friend and I are discussing joining a guild, but I'm a little hesitant to join people who are so far ahead of us in progression. I know they'd be more than helpful in helping us...

    Kildrukaun's Prophecy - Progression server

    This server is a blast. I'm currently playing with a RL friend that played the game when EQ came out in 1999. We are loving the way this server is balanced. We are each boxing 3 chars. I have a war/clr/mag and he is boxing an ench/shm/bard. We are working our way through levels and getting...

    Kildrukaun's Prophecy - Progression server

    I really hope the devs take another look at the high-end Velious raids. Going away from the "small group" progession experience will really ruin the fun of this server. Sadly, I think the devs have moved on to Luclin since that is where the high-end guilds are now. Sad that it seems they are...

    Kildrukaun's Prophecy - Progression server

    Since this is a custom server, I'm wondering if the devs will reset ST after someone let's the Sleeper loose? There are arguments both ways, but as someone who still has chars in their 20's and so far away from raiding Velious it isn't even funny, obviously I would prefer they reset ST after a...

    It's good and bad. Hopefully I will be able to log in and play after work, but I really can't complain too much if their sever is capped. It's a free game after all.

    Neither is the number of interceptions thrown off your left foot in the 2nd half while down by 7 or less.... but if it ended up Romo threw the most, you'd see Romo haters quoting it like some kind of mutated turrets where people can only spout useless Anti-Romo stats.

    If by "twice as many" you mean he has 1 more than Tom Bradey, then sure. He also has the 3rd best QBR since 2006 in 4th quarters behind only P. Manning and Brees. That's right, boys and girls, he's better in the 4th quarter since 2006 than the Golden Boy (TM). The two faces of Tony Romo -...

    Interceptions go against the QB. So Romo doesn't get a pass for any of them, no matter the reason. However, this offensive scheme is totally owned by Jason Garrett. If the scheme calls for 3 straight pass plays when up by over 2 td's in the 2nd half, then the scheme and the coach that...
