Would agree but EQ was zones. EQN is seemless. Supposedly seemless and huge. Did you play VG? Huge world gets old running long distances very fast. Makes it hard to group. Portals everywhere are a problem but I'm not bothered by some early speed increases in the mid-teens as long as you've...

Going to have to agree with qwerty on this one flip. I'm one of the guys speculating not qwerty - I can't remember him ever speculating as to mechanics. And he's dead to rights: you only ever said two things: kobolds are playable and game will be released this year.

No. I can't remember if you're a crafter but if you are and if I bring the mats will you make me jboots? I'll throw in 10 PP.

We all like our vision of an MMORPG and the question is does enough of that vision show up in the particular MMORPG we're playing.

So are you going to spill details or what? @TeeKay kickin'!

World is huge, most things are crafted, people are going to flip out if they have to travel everywhere at normal speed (unless a bard or teleporter is around) and there will be mounts early on (think VG's level 10 mount quest). So I think it is pretty likely.

Utnayan will end up playing EQN in Live, make no mistake.

jboots are crafted in EQN. Not a drop or a quest.

And you crap gold...

Well said. Hope for the best, while still planning for the worst. Sure Smed and Georgeson are empty suits, but maybe the rest of the team has come up with something memorable that those two will proceed to take credit for ;-)

Oldschool GOP/GOP leadership (Boehner, Priebus, Cantor, Ryan, Tom, Dick & Harry) will do their best to sabotage him. You just watch. -_-

I am sure the people at Blizzard (except for the management) are not sleeping at night because they are updating their resumes. Between subs losses and the buyout heads are going to roll.

If EQNext has EvElike PvP there will be starting factions. Either SZ or TZ. I can't imagine them shipping with FFA PvP except on special servers, but could be I'm wrong and you're right. @qwerty 5 1/2 days

He's not designing anything in EQN as far as I know, but yes he is such an empty suit he is a concern. We can hope he confines himself to marketing. Nice gif.

Never give up hope.

There are many people who won't believe they're living in a police state until the police knock on their door and drag them away. When they see their neighbors dragged away they'll just say "they probably deserved it".

Okay I'll bite. Why the long face? @Dizzam thanks - I wonder how they'll faction out the major factions in EQN? Similiarly?

I kinda like deathnail. Good name for an SK or a Necro.

Speaking of PvP, what were the factions on Tallon Zek? Sullon Zek was Good, Evil, Neutral right?

I thought the French said "put out or shut up"?

You've got supporters now Flip. Spill the beans and tell me where I'm wrong. You've got no excuses now.

Contraiwise I'm willing to Avatar bet on DCUOish-actiony combat because that logically follows from a destructible world which logically follows from Smed's destroy forests comment. Traditional tab-targeting would make it difficult to target things other than mobs, therefore if EQN has a...

I have no secret knowledge, no devs talk to me and I talk to no devs. I'm guessing based on released info (tweets, deleted tweets and interviews) and what should logically follow from the tweets and interviews. The closest I've come to Secret Info is friend of a friend of a dev, and I ended up...

That's from a Smed quote about burning down forests.

Bet's not with you Flip, it's with Agonizing. Note the last sentence. I listed everything I'm guessing about the game so Agonizing and I can figure out where we disagree and bet about that. @Agonizing 3 month Avatar bet?

Hmm. Either way I lose. I predict: -Actiony combat (DCUO meets VG meets EQ) but with an auto-attack and some resource management involved. I define actiony is either soft-targeting or mouse-targeting plus duck/roll. Not an FPS. Hope I'm wrong on this one. -Some form of...

Well you get to buy different looks for your items off of the cash shops and can alter colors for said purchases. So you'll be able to make unique-looking items. Not sure how far down the SWG rabbit-hole EQN is going with rare material harvesting but given the dynamic nature of the NPCs and...

We haven't even begun to speculate about the mobile aspects of EQN. There will be PSVita/iPad/iPhone/android apps of some sort - auction house? Tracking? Who the fuck knows.

We need some Avatar bets. Put some skin in the game.

I'm not sure which of the three is worse.

You're conflating crafting and harvesting. Also bad troll is bad. @Woolygimp I actually agree that subscription models are better for the reasons you stated, as well as others (e.g. immersion).

hahahahaha No way.

Dude I told you it was likely they were using DCUO-like combat, go back a few pages. @Convo yes I know, I'm letting myself get trolled.

Wikipedia entry is bullshit. Smedley stated back in 2011 or 2012 that he's moving everything to FTP and he has.

Also nope.

And you've talked about EQN mechanics when?

Nope. EQN is FTP, though I think it is a reasonable guess that there will be Gold memberships and of course for PS4 players you'll need the $5.00/month PSN pass or whatever it is called.. Station coins are for player crafted items used by other players or some similar BS. I don't craft so I...

Both McCain and Romney were awful but at least the press wouldn't roll over and play dead for them when they pulled some of the shit that Obama has pulled.
