Who the fuck cares about Free Speech, Free Thought and Freedom of Association, amiright? Good to see another Brown Shirt here on RR.

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/358624 Good news. You too can eventually be termed a terrorist by the FBI!

It must be the money (coming from SOE). Let's ride with Brad McQ.

With one exception my best PvE experiences were in VG or EQ. PvP early AV and even AB when it was first released. I bash WoW a lot but Vanilla WoW before Blizzard decided they couldn't ever be wrong, was very fun. If Blizzard ever releases a progression server that had old AV I'd play for a...

The game isn't worth playing except in a static group so you can do the dungeons. Also, you should only ever start in Tanvu. Far and away the best of the starting areas.

Todd Masten/Nino.

@whoever asked ages ago. I'd kick in $50 for the kickstarter for this if and only if it was goint to be a sub-based game and someone other than Brad was CEO/Chief Ass Kicker. @Convo & Furious - I will grant that one way for this game to actually get finished is to use EQNL tools to build out...

Roundtables killed my interest (as noted). They were all beyond stupid.

We reached that conclusion during the reveal. Yes, it's a bad thing. They've created a game that won't hold the interest of MMORPG gamers long-term but also isn't likely to appeal to much to non-MMORPG gamers long term. Should be hugely popular for a few months though. OTOH, EQNL should be...

Yeah I remain meh on EQN and on this project for completely different reasons.

That's the best part of any MMORPG. It's clear that Butler & Co. got the wrong message from WoW. They think people want to only play endgame, but WoW was best in early-mid Vanilla when it had the longest leveling - and thus longest character progression time. Even with it's annoying quest-hubs...

I'd be more interested if Brad hadn't made it clear already that there's a tie back to SOE. Until Smed goes, SOE is a lost cause.

Original VG had pretty slow leveling and a decent death penalty so I think those made it in - the XP curve was then abandoned by SOE. VG quests at start were fine because it was much less go to this area at 30, this area at 40, etc. There was a lot less direction, and a lot more...

One of a bazillion google hits: http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/23/st...wind-turbines/ Or you could have, you now, just googled it yourself

By all accounts EQ Design Doc and EQ Vanilla were pretty close. -_- But Brad does get the old cheese for VG.

Nothing has done more to turn me off of EQN then the retarded roundtable questions. Good Job Omeed & SOE Marketing!

I'm conservative which properly means protecting the environment in addition to standing athwart history and is yet another reason I find the current GOP leadership beyond useless. I actually agree that we should encourage other energy sources - particularly nuclear. But not when we're stuck...

John Wayne original is superior. Agree with you about the '76 IotBS Major agreement on The Thomas Crowne Affair and Ocean's Eleven. Better: Heaven Can Wait ('77) - Remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan. Batman Begins/Dark Knight - Better than the Tim Burton's Batmans and original TV series...

As we all should know, he co-wrote the EQ design document and was then moved up to producer, so the boot's just trolling. Brad gets to keep his credit for EQ. Now with respect to VG, my understanding is a lot of Brad's initial ideas were eventually thrown out and he gets a lot less credit for...

Bad Troll is bad.

The computer sketch was great and the substitute teacher sketch was worth it for the "Chess/t club" bit. I also liked the Le Miz parody. Not thrilled by Luther and Prez this time around.

They should have had way more oversight. They handed Brad a ton of money and don't seem to really tracked it.

Bah, SOE blew it with the changes to racial starting areas. I was interested in playing again - starting a Dark Elf or Gnome or something I haven't played since Beta but you only get the three starting areas plus IoD. Screw that. Half the fun of the game was just starting a toon in some place...

Basically, Art Assets aside, VG as she was released in Jan 2007 was developed in about a year - most of the early functionality/combat system was just thrown out. There's a summary somewhere. Anyway, MS flipped out when they figured it out. And you wonder why I'm less concerned about the...

Sure buddy. Because there's been so many awesome MMOs since EQ right? The developers of GW2 and EQN have solved/are solving very complex and difficult problems. Did they make/are they making good games?

Since forever. Also eagle says fuck you.

Nah. He's an idea man. Not a manager. He'll fuck things up if he's CEO. If he's grown up he'll realize that and hire someone other than himself to run the company and produce the game. He's job title should be CIO - Chief Idea Officer.

@Erronius. Fuck wind power. You know how many fucking birds get killed by wind turbines? A fuck of a lot. @Warhead The President's action are, as with much of what he's done during his imperial presidency, illegal. The President doesn't get to "suspend" laws to do what he wants. Reality...

Depends on if Smed & his Boss (Andrew House, IIRC?) think they can make money a la Verant. Smed, House & Co, invest in Brad's new company. SOE "loans" them tech. Game releases if successful, Sony buys Company and Smed, House & Co get $$$. If game is unsuccessful, not on SOE balance sheet...

More like the wind don't blow all the time, same reason Solar is pretty shitty outside of the Sunbelt. People shit on coal as not being green, but without coal the planet would be forestless. We would have burned up all the trees decades ago.

US History textbook guts the second Amendment under the guises of "summary" of Amendments.

Bunkers are stupid. Farms that are miles and miles away from a main road are where it's at.

Obama pushing gun control again in 3... 2... 1..

Solar Power doesn't matter when we're discussing replacing power generation via oil or gas. @Agraza nothing good will happen when India and China tangle. Just lots of dead people.

You brought up Solar Power as if it mattered. So yeah, you did. Also, Iran would happily wipe Israel off the map given the opportunity. It's muddled thinking like yours and Biden's "They can have all the Fissile material they want" that is giving Iran the bomb. And you wonder why I think...

Because solar energy is going to solve all our power needs? Holy fuck, I can only assume you're trolling.

Yes, lets keep stepping on our economy. It's been going so well. We don't have quite enough people on food stamps yet.

Chicago long ago proved that gun control is a stupid idea. This and the Fort Hood shooting just prove that DoD/Base gun regulations are stupid too.

Because it's better to have an oil disaster at sea than on land? Or because you just like higher oil prices?
