I am thinking 15, 15, 15, 15, and time already served.

What was step 1 again?

Hardcoded factions really drain a game of its allure for me; set up factions and let people pick their own sides. If the sides become unbalanced, you can offer incentives and let population rebalance itself without folks having to roll up alts. From what I can tell there is literally no...

You know, I started to post a lengthy list of how I think many of these suggestions are wrong and rose-colored but then I realized A) this isn't my thread; its yours B) Even if such a game was to be made, (and here's to Brad making it, hopefully) I don't have to play it. Someone pointed out...

Which is a shame, because I seem to remember back in the old days there was a fair amount of Dev involvement, right up to Curt being run out on a rail. Not that those guys didn't have some measure of something coming but the sheer vitriol pouring out of people (t)here? Sheeeeeeeeeeet. Given...

I know you aren't saying this exactly, Couloir, but everyone bagging on SOE folks for not saying much: Given the level of nerd-rage over the things they have said, can you imagine what the blowback would be if they said something would be X and then they had to walk that back to Y? Shields...

Look, I don't have anything against Brad; he was a driving force behind making a game we loved (and loved us black and blue back), he had some troubles, and now he is working again. I sincerely hope he makes a great game. Anyone calling on him like MMOheyzeus, though, needs a serious...

While I enjoy a good rant-fest about a game 18 months+ out as much as anyone, the thing about the lore right now is this: they are rolling back the clock somewhat and resetting the players but we don't know where they are going to go with it once it gets going. I would expect to see Cazic, etc...

yes and VVVVVVVV

I think that EQN will launch much better than it would have without Landmark. I think releasing the tools as a separate game is part of the genius of this relaunch of the franchise; I don't think it will monumentally speed up launch from an April '15 launch, although it may pull it forward to...

Chris has indeed spoken about how much further the money goes when you don't have to satisfy a publisher. I think the total they are looking for is 22ish million, which they think goes 3x as far or some figure without publisher strings.

Georgeson is growing on me, I think. That or he is starting to get the hang of this whole P.R. thing. Or I am just learning to not mind him, I am not sure. It really does have to be a tough job to go out and the face of the next iteration of one of frothiest nerd franchises in PC gaming...

Except that they scrapped that game, and then maybe what came after that, before coming up with the idea that they presented at SOELive. I think between some inartful word choices, some wanting to please people, and some pure-D hucksterism, they are way out in front PR-wise than where they...

There isn't an evil race YET. These just aren't the twisted-by-Innoruuk Dark Elves, though, and there isn't a Neriak, the ogres aren't cursed, etc. THEY AREN'T REMAKING ORIGINAL EVERQUEST. The lore, which along with many factions, multiple starting areas, and the overland world was one of my...

Let me explain, then. This is *before* the Ogres were evil; they are just the biggest race in the Combine empire at this point. Everything we think we know about them from EQ is either untrue or not come to pass in Everquest Next. So it isexactlylike saying Anakin couldn't be a Jedi ever...

"But Anakin can't be a Jedi, he's a Sith!!11!" This takes place before such lines had been drawn, when ogres and trolls were distasteful but not much more than those smelly humans who eventually go live in Halas. I think it would/will be awesome; a great draw to play early as the game will...

This may be the thing I hate most about WoW. I played a couple of chars to max level after launch but before TBC. After that first run with it, I never went back mostly because I couldn't be assed to download/update 2 dozen freaking UI mods. Well, actually I hate hardcoded factions more but...

I am all about new systems and not being beholden to the past but this post reflexively stirred my inner rolx/supertouch.

Don't deny the joys of workout to our Ogre bros, bro. If squats and clean and jerks work for Big Flex, how can it be wrong? This is a fantastic idea on which I would only put a slight twist: Not rediscovery but the time before the Everquest we all know. The start of EQN is Before the FallT...

One thing that is definitely reversed on the Curse map is the Commonlands and Desert of Ro. Sailing up from Kunark, its probably easier to escape Ring of Scale notice by moving to the other side of TunariaAntonicaAnadril, story-wise; metagame-wise it allows you time to expand east and set up...

This is Magneto and Professor X working together before the inevitable split. I can see everyone as uneasy allies for a while until this become more "crisp". I am sick to death of hard-coded factions in games. Its just so much wasted space. You might not be able to start in Freeport but...

This sounds more and more like exactly the kind of game I have wanted to play. Exploring in every direction, taming the continent, establishing new starting cities, etc. sounds purely amazing. If they can make the world free of invisible walls, with climbable/surmountable with magical...

The good news is that there are an equal number of extra-sandy vaginas to absorb the moisture.

How many of those 500k subs are actual live people, as opposed to someone with multiple accounts paid for by ISK? Also, how many of those accounts actually live in 0.0 hardcore-style versus being Empire carebears? I didn't but probably should have expected the backlash when they didn't announce...

Was this what I expected for EQN? No, I expected something much closer to the original but I am actually encouraged by what they have portrayed so far. They really are swinging for the fences and even if the implementation isn't great, they look to advance the genre.

Second one is reddit'sdino_rawr.

I don't know what was deleted but bring back good Fedor. Face turn time!

As of this posting, it's 0520 Thursday 25 July in Singapore.

When I first read this, I was dismissive. Then I watched the videos and you are so right. Those fights took twice as long as they should have. I haven't paid hardly any attention to this other than what folks have referenced in other threads but I am wearing out on Marvel Heroes wondering...

The general public is already ignorant and stupid in regards to storage media. 16GB is just a meaningless number to most people. How much stuff can go on an iPad isn't. It just puts it in a context most/more people can understand.

They are just trying to put it in a form that people understand. Lots of folks who don't have much of an idea about storage form factors (and really, 3.5" and 2.5" drives have so many different capacities that using them for a reference point would be meaningless even to people who do), so they...

Hopefully every MMO Dev on the planet learns that this is how you balance a game post-launch. It makes every patch super-exciting and it creates the player mind-set that that the Dev team is on the player's side.

My bendis is so pig that women have to use both arms to encircle it. Pic spoilered.

Chrome all the way, although the .gif thing is annoying. Firefox has felt bloated and slow for me for a while but I will be eternally grateful for their coming in and revitalizing the browser wars after MS decided to they had won and had stopped innovating completely.

Man, and I was just about to get on the gore train.

I think you confusing me with someone else to whom Caepan was referring (Furioushere). I was just answering his question. I really don't like the escalating war of who can post the most things that would have fit in on consumptionjunction.com. CwD's and other run of the mill stuff, I don't...

Because scar tattoos aren't the same thing as the inside of someone's head?

Of all the things that needed white knighting, scat/gore was't one of them. I am sure there is a mangina in the woodwork that could use the help, though.
