A friend of mine ran a fantastic UO shard that he never advertised and it has ran it's course. He got ahold of the C# source code for whatever the big server emulation software was and created his own prison island (that island near Yew) that had a fairly amazing ruleset. If you're at all...

Wow, I'm in a good spot if that list is decent. I have Scarlet Witch, Storm, RR, and now Gambit.

Byr tell Os I said hi.

I'm inactive and have been since the beginning of the year. I'm on pretty good terms with just about everyone - even KidRiot, where ever he is now, so I'm sure I could come back at some point. That said I don't think I'm good enough to make a showing in that 48vs48 fight - maybe with a lot of...

So many of ESOs problems have been fixed before in so many other games. What's the fucking hold up? Not wanting to copy anything from anyone? It seems like right now the biggest problem with pvp (other than class imbalance) is population imbalance. Couldn't they fix that by.. They...

What are people playing on PS4? Did PS2 release there finally? I seriously don't know of a single game worth playing on the PS4 - much less one that's a MMO.

When you play games as long as most of us have you can sniff out the problems with core systems really quickly. I don't think I'm alone when I say that it only took me a single beta weekend to figure out that there was a LOT of things wrong here that had no chance of being fixed. Same...

Have they still not figured out the air/ground balance? It always swings so wildly in each direction.

So I have Scarlet Witch, Storm, and Rocket Raccoon. I only played a few days at launch (and casual at that) - my highest level character is Scarlet Witch at 24. The other two are < 10. Who should I level first? SW seemed to have the best AOE stuff in the game, which is one of the reasons I...

I think the only thing missing from that era is Dark Sun Online. I knew of Yserbius and NWN, but couldn't afford the $2-5/hr to play them. (variable rates depending on the time of day!) DSO could have a reasonable number of people in a zone. M59 could have like ~70 - I think that's the...

The basic idea is that this game is going to be filled with degenerates. The goal of the game is to gather 40 (right?) like minded people and fight boss fights that profess to be tougher than WoW - maybe on par with WoW at release. I don't think it'll end up being as fun as most people think...

No I mean, why do you make a HARDCORE RAIDING GAME RAWWWWR that features a token bunny ear class and the color palette of a '90s raver?! The style is a complete mess! It's not about if I approve of it or not, I'm just pointing out how ridiculous the entire idea is. It's not even going out on...

You'd think that with that stance they wouldn't have made it visually appeal to 12 year olds. I don't think it's going to work out for them at all. They'll have to cave soon. I expect announcements around the time nobody resubscribes.

I toughed it out to 14 - ALMOST 15 that was considered the goal. My initial impressions from just the insulting tutorial were absolutely correct. Definitely not the game for me. If you were a raver in the '90s, you may like it!

Only start playing if you're on voice comms (not in-game, direct voice comms) with someone who can show you the ropes. Someone who has the patience to answer the 2-3 hours of newbie questions that you'll constantly be asking. It's not necessarily a difficult game to understand, but it's not...

How would it be any different than a mass multiplayer FPS game? Have you tried Planetside 2? They pull it off.

Is the game DRASTICALLY different at level 15? Is it something you start noticing at level 15, or is it something you have realized on the way to 15? Should I tough it out and get to level 15 to say I've experienced the real game? Level 20? What level? (I don't even know what the max is in...

I made it about 15 minutes in this before quitting out. I doubt I'll ever return. Here's the summary: I actually set up boot camp to try this open beta. I had to fsck the hard disk before it would let me shrink the partition to create the windows partition. I spent more time getting boot...

Do you think the game in its current state would pass the validation processes for the current generation of consoles? Especially with XBL, they don't validate your app without some serious optimization and bugfixin'.

Turbo, have you tried out Smite? (SMITE) It's a wasd MOBA game.

Cool, are you white knighting this game this month? Moved on from ESO already? I look forward to your furious missives.

It's a game for people who have no jobs or people with shit jobs.

I don't think it works like that. I'd assume that they have a system in place where they grab the latest builds from XL Games and apply patches on top of those builds to form what NA plays. So they could fix this on their side fairly quick and shouldn't have to ask XL Games anything. I...

Worked in Asheron's call. It works fine - people see you griefing? They kill you. Communities are fairly good at self-policing.

Ahhh another game that doesn't see the obvious solution to area effect problems. ENABLE FRIENDLY FIRE.

How is any of that true when UO did the same thing before EQ? Granted, UO didn't have character levels, but if you knew how to play the game you could take a several hour old character anywhere on the map - even traverse Hythloth if you had a friend who could gate you there.

Zenimax Online was created to make MMOs - a completely separate studio from Bethesda that wouldn't directly tarnish the name. Zenimax Online is effectively the Saturn Corporation of the MMO world. If you think anyone there had the insight that directly created anything valuable in the...

That's just bullshit that has been popularized since about Shadowbane or before. Remember what they said with shadowbane. With the size of the combat that they wanted to have in Shadowbane, they couldn't support WASD input because it was too much strain on the server. The truth of the...

Just what the world needs. Another EJ forum.

If they're using ANY modern payment provider there are API calls they can do to validate cards that charge zero dollars. Using these methods even costs Zenimax $0 dollars! Insane, but completely expected. Babby's first MMO launch and all. Repeating the same problems we saw in Meridian 59 and...

Weak and pathetic. Par.

Progress Quest finally made it to Korea?!

Here's an AutoIT script I had saved from Aion. http://pastebin.com/A0r4nsVd Yep, that's how easy it is.

If you want to talk about disassembling and memory editing you're getting into the realm of outright cheating. The second most impressive instance of that kind of thing, that I know about, was in SWG. A guy wrote a hook for the main exe that added functionality to the map screen. You'd simply...

Bots will exist in every game. I wrote my first bot for a MUD we played at the back of computer class as a freshman in high school, '94ish. BNC Novell LAN, everything. That was just a simple text parser, but monitoring areas of the screen for certain arrangements of pixels isn't much...

This time around I picked up another remote work job instead of diving into another bug ridden MMO launch. Same amount of hours per week and probably the same amount of enjoyment. Hell, probably less work too!

Vid looks good. Too bad the game you're playing looks terrible.

Isn't AoC that way these days?

Let's just hope that a small group of people at NCSoft have been heads-down translating Blade & Soul from Korean to English for the past two years. So as soon as this turd hits the water we can have something worth playing hosted in the US.

I have a 12 year old nephew who is about done with WoW and really wants to try this if anyone has a key available. Looks like this is the next stop for him and his friends.
