Everything you've said or suggested about Snowden has ben bullshit. Including this. You're part of the cover-up team. I'm sure there's a memo out there in Chaos-NSA land "sow FUD". Good job buddy.

All FTP models are terrible. Anything you can use should be available and accessible only via in-game actions (drops, quest rewards, crafted loot or in-game events) - including cosmetics. I'm hoping for servers that are P2P only without even a cosmetic shop. Yes, I know - unlikely.

Chaos' comment sounds like an NSA shill trying to obfuscate the issues, demonize Snowden and cover-up the blatant illegality of the shit the NSA (and others) have been doing.

Last thoughts before I gotta go do some actual work. 1. You can't design for the entire addressable gaming population. People want different stuff and sometimes, many times the various wanted stuffs are incompatibile. 2. Content is hard to create, so anything that makes content easy to...

We'll see next 10-Q.

I will also add, from the Blizzard 10-Q for 1Q 2013 "The subscriber decline was primarily attributable to the East, with a smaller relative decrease in the West (where the ?East? includes China, Taiwan, and South Korea, and the ?West? includes North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and...

That's a problem with Blizzard releasing an expansion every 2 years not a problem with itemization, mudflation or denial of the playerbase to access. Release 1 expansion a year (as EQ does) and you won't have players bitching about that. Blizzard attempted to cure the symptoms without...

Mudflation isn't the problem - all games have to have some mudflation or you don't feel your character is getting more powerful, it is extreme mudflation that is the problem. Such as where (as in WoW) _early_ greens from the new expansion are better than purples from the top tier raids of the...

Why's that? If guild X can't conquer raid Y during expansion Z, they should be able to conquer raid Y during expansion Z+1. WoW fucked things up by making prior raid areas completely useless in new expansions so Blizzard had to create a system whereby all current content could be achieved by...

Considering the NSA just massively restriced SysAdmin access, yes. Certainly more believable then Snowden somehow manufacturing keys to hack the system.

Alexander, the same guy who's repeatedly lied to Congress? You really are the worst NSA shill on this board.

Again, insane. The EQNext thread on this board is the most viewed. EQN is the most anticipated MMO on MMORPG. Blah Blah Blah. It's a huge brand in the MMO universe and goes far beyond "doesn't have an outright bad name." Over the course of X years, millions of people played EQ or EQ1 now...

You're insane. EverQuest is no Coca-Cola or Apple but it is a huge brand, as MMO brands go.

Citation? Last I heard he was a system administrator for BAH which meant he had pretty wide access.

Reality. Also this:

I don't remember ever running BRD all at once - I do remember jumping off the bridge or wtf to the lava river to cut the time in half to whatever the hell we were going to on the bottom. As for the minimap - I never had a problem with a minimap. I do with modern in-game radarmaps that show...

There's something to be said for trying old games that you didn't like the first go around. I played a very little Legends of Norrath around release and wasn't interested. Finally tried it again last week maybe 4 years after I first played it as I was super bored (and also had a bunch of free...

Fair enough. I agree it was bullshit to refuse flyover for Morales' plane, I was just pointing out that the US has been refused flyover for some of its planes before as well but never, ever have I heard of a the plane of the President of a nation being forced to land and then searched.

Grant asylum to Snowden. I expect him to show up in Argentina or Boliva.

Morales is an ass but I'm actually sympathetic to him. But the big issue isn't that they refused flyover rights (happens all the time - e.g. France refused flyover rights to the US for bombing Libya years ago IIRC) but that when they were forced to land in Austria to refuel, the Austrians...

I can't speak for anyone else or myself after EQN reveal (if miracle of miracle it actually looks good instead of some godawful arpg bs - cross-fingers+knock on wood+spin around 3 times) - but I've said for years that I'd give Blizz my $15 bucks a month if they had a vanilla progression that...

+1, Similiarly FD should work great against smart mobs but shouldn't really work against many animal mobs. They may stop attacking you, but if they're hungry and carnivores or omniovres they should continue to "eat you" causing damage.

Not if they need a group and the less efficient guy is the one who's available. That bullshit only works when you can be picky (small raid sizes, no need for leveling in dungeons, etc.) and is only necessary when you have to be picky (small raid sizes).

I wouldn't say battle lines. It's about people who want EQ+Action RPG Combat, people who want EQ+VG Combat and people who want EQ+EVE PvP/Player-Content. The EQ+EVE people can probably get along with either the ARPG or VG people but vice-versa isn't usually the case (PvE v PvP).

You get to choose your spell slots and how to play your character. Otherwise gear and yes AAs Whenever they become available - remember that AAs are available pre-maxlevel in EQ. I'm not adverse to platformer elements in an MMO - i like the idea of the rogue who scales a wall to get into a...

Talent Trees, Rift Souls and all that other bullshit remains bullshit. Specific Roles, limited selection of abilities (no eyesore UI). The only thing that needs to change is OT/DT targeting.

It's not appropriate for an MMORPG. If people want an action MMO go play Wildstar, PS2, TESO or whatever has that shit.

The guy is a shill. Why are you even bothering to respond to him?

That's what haste items and weapons with procs are for; no need to over-complicate things. You keep classes relatively simple and have fun with the equipment.

EQ Monk - was all about postional pulling - how close could you get to Mob X (or X & Y) w/o aggoring Mob Y (Z) and then where do you FD to split blah blah blah. Also, I'm not adverse to rogue damage being positional - hamstring if near feet, backstab, back, blah blah blah. But needs to be very...

Goodpoint. I'm not a Doctore but I'm going to speculate that making Robocop seems easier then grafting on heads.

We already have face transplants. So you can get one to match your new body. If you've got the money...

Altzheimer's.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2...ecome-reality/ Futurama called it... Not far from head transplants to heads-in-jar...

Player content creation tools. That's all this means.

This is a Good Thing (tm). Skill distinguishes the player not FOTM build.

Dude, if EQN completely flops we are fucked for a good MMO for the next ten+ years - I'll we get is more of the same failed WoW-clones. So better to cross fingers and hope.

Basically OP. I hated ksing mages when I started on Combine and later Fippy. Bastards sat back an ate all the mobs long before my guy had a chance to even get close - so no tears here for them ;-)
