It's a horrible idea to the people fucking whining about it because they have poor imaginations. They are under the impression that cross-server play automatically means 'queue up for instance runs (that don't exist in Pantheon, btw) with a bunch of randoms who I will never speak to again'. They...

Absolutely. Feels very similar to late Kunark population spread on live. Blackburrow and crushbone always have 2-3 groups. Kurns is empty most of the time. Always at least 1 group of scrubs doing befallen poorly. Orc 1 & 2 + WC dervs always have action. Unrest and Mistmoore pretty much...

This game is simply not as bad as Ut is saying. I'd even go as far as saying that it's a more 'satisfying' MMORPG experience than its main 2014 competition, Wildstar. The things that suck are the same things that suck about a lot of new gen MMOs. Combat is feels weird in first person, but far...

Sorry, have you seen the 14ers so far?

That's right. Obviously if development money & resources were infinite, and player subscription numbers were guaranteed to never go down, I'd have to reassess my position.

Probably not

My biggest concern is that it gets funded, my money is gone, and EQnext surpasses my expectations, is the new MMORPGeezus, and is too awesome to leave for Pantheon.

$45 = all the money

I see nobody getting butthurt about people holding Brad to the fire. Even the supporters are doing it themselves. What I do see is people getting butthurt about you and your repetitive, ill conceived, and overall terrible posting. Very different.

What you are talking about is still only relevant for the first 5-10% of the leveling experience. From level 1-10 in EQ, sure, people had very different experiences based on starting area. By level 20, players on Faydwer were all focused in a couple leveling zones. Same goes for both east and...

That's pretty in line with what they expected for EQ to be successful too

that sounds totally awful man. Seriously though, aside from you preconceived notions about why Trolls should automatically hate Elves, what are the gameplay benefits of multiple starting cities? I guess I could say they help enhance sense of character identity through unique architecture and...

Terrible argument. You were in your starting zone in EQ for the first 8 levels... MAYBE. That's what? 7-9 hours gameplay? Out of how many hundreds of hours to max level?

Meh, your position lacks nuance. I live next to a really annoying Vietnamese family that I can't stand. Doesn't mean I'm gonna move away or not interact with them. I might not go out of my way to do them any favours though.

Pretty easily. Nobody is a 'resident' of Terminus. Frank the troll didn't grow up down the street from Joe the Elf in downtown Freeport. They were resurrected by Nexus and found themselves in this new world. They probably start at some sort of shrine to Nexus in a central city, that is then...

Why?

Where are there 22 classes listed? I count 7. Do you not know the difference between a class and a sub class/specialization? In Wow, is a feral druid a different class than a resto druid? Do you not play MMORPGs? I don't get what's so difficult to understand here.

Also... I found that combat info they released today pretty lacking. I wanna hear about: 1. Auto attack: in or out? If it's out, what is in its place? 2. Active Blocking: in or out? If it's in, will you have to have a shield equipped (block tied to right mouse) or ability based? 3. Active...

I think it was always gonna be a hard coded choice... They just tried to convey it in a more 'interesting' way, through the lore, rather than straight up telling us. This was a huge miscalculation, because we all just took it as too little info that was too generalized to be of any real importance.

The battle Cleric stands toe-to-toe against their enemy without fear capable of decent armed combat and spell casting granted through divine favor. They don full heavy plate armor, a shield in offhand and typically flourish in the use of maces, scepters, warhammers, flails and even two-handed...

1. They didn't backtrack on anything. Even in the text of the initial cleric reveal there was the implication that there would be 2 available paths. 2. Was a combat rogue in wow a different class than an assassination rogue? Or did they share mostly the same traits with a few differences that...

You are either trolling or never played EQ before 2004. Your argument is absurd. The cheesesteak and the Reuben are both iterations of a sandwich, yet are nothing alike. GTFO with this bullshit.

It has nothing to do with a 'cycle'. They are very clearly listening to, and addressing concerns, and deserve whatever props they are getting from us, as well as the uptick in pledges.

He needs to target current MMO players. The interview or whatever with Boogie should focus on one theme - 'this is what you missed if you never got to play early EQ, and now is your chance to experience it'.

Like I said, 1% of boogie's subscribers pledging $35 meets the $800,000 goal.

Boogie2988 is Uberwolf from Prexus. His email is even[email protected]/* <![CDATA[ */!function(t,e,r,n,c,a,p){try{t=document.currentScript||function(){for(t=document.getElementsByTagName('script'),e=t.length;e--;)if(t[e].getAttribute('data-cfhash'))return...

...SOE took desperate measures to try and save a game that was already bleeding subs. They miscalculated. It was 8 years ago.

The boost today was from the comic, not from the back and forth between boogie & Brad. If Brad does get an interview with Boogie, i think it's important to consider Boogie's audience - the 'new' MMOer. I'm betting a very large percentage of his viewers never experienced an MMO with the social...

Pretty sure Merlin should start a video blog

A relaunch is not, and has never been necessary, nor is it a good idea.

Pretty sure he got his start in EQ. One of us! One of us! Also, Brad still reps a hotmail email addy. Shits classic, yo. Maybe him and Boogie can chat on ICQ.

Flex, we need to burninate the peasants together in EQN. Apparently Smed wants PVP to be awesome.

If you have lowered your pledge over the last couple days for whatever reason, I would keep an eye on tier availability. Expect a big surge of new backers if Boogie throws in his support. He doesn't back kickstarters like... Ever. If he does, those early tester slots might get snatched up way...

1% of his viewers need to pledge $35 to reach $800,000

Probably the biggest independent MMORPG video blogger out there. 1.5 million subscribers.

Ya... And boogie looks awful star-struck

Brad and Boogie2988 are getting awful chummy on twitter. His support of Pantheon and promotion to his viewers could single handedly fund this game.

*shrug* loved me some EQOA. MMORPG combat is SO MUCH more enjoyable with a controller, and you can still use a mouse + KB if you prefer.

Jesus... I didn't even know this was the pantheon thread

Would still love to see some numbers for SOE or SCEA to support this talk of these business units' financial performance.
