    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    Uh Woqqqa say hello to kendrick. You may remember him from such roles as the godfather of rogues from everquest or more recently former dev/designer of vanguard. He"s a more important poster here than 10 smedley"s or 2 mcquaids. He"s in the same league as say hartsman on what"s really going down...

    I"d go a step further and call eve"s system superior to FFXI"s. With a skill based system there"s no need for artificial delimiters called "levels" and when you are "leveling up" a different ship class there"s no need to go back and grind out on level 5 newbie mobs again. Nevermind the fact that...

    The MMO wing is. Its the same people who brought you SWG though, the bioware name is (mostly) in name only. I have a friend who works in Edmonton at the real bioware, i"m going to see if I can fanagle my way into a tour the next time I visit her.

    I"m sympathetic to brad"s situation but you must admit that Brad is 100% responsible for it. He overshot it, overdeveloped and tried to do too much. When MS saw the state the game was in and how much more money it would take to get it ready they pulled out, and brad had to spend the rest of...

    No. What has been reported is that Vivendi has stated to their investors that blizzard can turn any of their franchises into MMOs for $50 million and 4-5 years of dev time. That $50mil figure includes Blizzard"s current company size, greatly expanded from when they were developing WoW. WoW...

    had he followed the advice of the first paragraph I quoted, he wouldn"t have had to experience the second. To reiterate, "We probably spent more time on Northshire Valley by an order of magnitude than any other area because it was one of our first areas. We spent a lot of time making it fun...

    175k or so. Brad created EQ, which is actually unfortunate for Vanguard, because as a "veteran" developer of the genre, thiswisdom was cast aside like pearls amongst swine. Though most of it applies, some specific quotes: and

    seems to me Tyen meant to make the Fallout MMO, you know, post apocalyptic scifi mmo not the same fantasy setting of elves and orcs from the last 113 mmo"s to hit the market.

    Can Plane Take Off

    gdi you are an idiot. lets pretend the conveyor belt can go 1 MILLION MILES PER HOUR in the opposite direction of the plane. If the plane is stationary, or just falls from the sky onto the belt like you"re trying to correlate into some sort of argument, then yes, the plane will go in the...

    Can Plane Take Off

    Late in joining but maybe this will clarify: The plane is moving forward. The prop/engine is propelling the plane forward at 100mph. It doesn"t matter how fast the conveyor belt is going backwards, it could be 1000mph. That just means that the wheels are are moving at 1100mph. With the...
