Well, there's certainly a couple things I'm disappointed with. The biggest thing probably being the way he answered the corpse run/death penalty question. 'We aren't looking at harsh penalties' seems to be totally contrary to what I thought this game was. Oh... And telegraphs are in... Let's...

It really all depends on his agreements with his team, what kind of physical assets they have access to etc... Who knows, maybe his whole team is working for 'free' (deferred salaries) and they are using SOE dev facilities. *shrug*

How long do they take to expire? Are all infractions 1 point, or are some more?

It may be "the truth", but it doesn't paint an entirely accurate picture for those only semi familiar with what happened.

I'm not worried about us looking past the Sigil stuff (we are knowledgeable enough about the situation to know there were a lot of factors at play).. and I'm sure brad & co. won't strongly advertise the fact that many of the team worked on vanguard... It's the journalists I'm worried about. I...

Urge to kill, rising.

February is the agreed upon best time to launch so far according to my reading. I disagree with the wisdom behind releasing info before the KS launch. You want those initial articles linking to the kickstarter, and then those new customers having a 'purchase moment' right when they discover it.

...fuck man All the best to your family.

How many infractions until you are RRP'd? Is there a post outlining these policies somewhere I'm missing?

Can't remember the name of it... But Angostura makes a ballin' rum. Might be called '1919'.

Nah. I miss the early EQ GM events where they handed out titles and artifacts. I still lust after Crystal Claws of Veeshan. If you don't take part in something, you shouldn't expect to be rewarded for it.

The only thing that pisses me off about in-game holidays that emulate RL ones, is the fact that my MMORPG playtime should be an escape from everyday life. Not only do I have to be flooded with Christmas/valentines/Halloween imagery in the real world, but now it has to happen in my fantasy world...

What makes you say that? Kedge was an exercise in frustration every time I was in there. The mob patching and player movement was just awful. Subsequent games haven't handled underwater content much better, either, in my experience. GW2 was probably the best... And even that made me want to...

One thing I really really hope is that Brad realizes that underwater content in every single game has been absolutely terrible, and he avoids it like the plague.

That'd be awesome.

It's ok Merlin. Boromir saved you.

A slippery slope implies my suggestions are even more absurd than your mini-pets and Santa hats. They aren't.

Cool. So as long as we are adding vapid nonsense to our 'hardcore' MMO in the interests of broadening appeal, can the female character models have jiggle physics and bikini bridges? Oh, and can we have a cat race that looks like Chester Cheetah?

Well, that's the most absurd straw man logical fallacy I have encountered today. Grats.

Sorry man. I'm just trying to provide a counterpoint to the neckbeard circle jerk ALREADY happening in this thread. There's a fucking 10 page discussion every time someone brings up something contrary to your definition of 'immersion', and yet people are justifying in game holidays, vanity...

Wooooo mini pets, in game holidays, and cosmetic clothing! While we're at it, I've always wanted a cock sucking sim mini-game that you could play while LFG. It'd be kinda like gems, but with more cock sucking. What do you guys think?

Hmmm almost the same day as Wizardhawk.

Aww where'd he go?

Livestream on Wednesday is supposed to be describing the nature of claims. May make it easier to decide if the head-start is worth it.

Wait, I thought Kentucky was in the Midwest

Well, Aradune is posting on the boards again. That means Utnayan is probably in his Hyperbolic Time Chamber training for their first confrontation.

Pretty sure the only way to get into alpha is purchasing a founders pack. You may get into closed beta though.

EQ was the pinnacle of CC. Copy/paste. Change nothing. Well... Okay... Charm probably can't be as powerful as it was.

Exactly. Had FD on my disciple in VG and liked it just fine for the above situations. It just couldn't be used to split pull.

Last one. Furor was pretty funny: I had to skip the majority of the posts in this thread. It seems to me as if a lot of you have basically lost sight on what it is you are supposed to do as a warrior in Everquest. Several of you are chiming in with "get appropriate taunt items, blah blah...

Everytime I see someone claim monks are 'not overpowered,' I start having fits of hysterical laughter. The most clear indicator of how overpowered monks are is when a post on monks being overpowered sneaks into "Monkly Business," and every monk that has more than 20 days played and an...

My ability to hold aggro should be second to none. I should be able to build up such monumental amounts of aggro that the Lord Jesus Christ himself could not turn the mob off of me. I won't play second fiddle to Paladins or Knights. I don't give a fuck. When I want aggro, I want to take it...

Hahaha tad calling my arguments incoherent. Thanks man. That's gold.

If this game uses matchmaking lobbies exclusively, I'm gonna be really upset. Dedicated servers with their own loose communities really increases my enjoyment level of FPS games.

Just let every class be any race. Sell 'potions of race change' for $20 and be done with it.

The system I propose is almost nothing like GW2. In GW2 weapons were restricted based on class, and granted different abilities, also based on class. In my system, every class can wield every weapon type, and those weapons grant each individual the same 'skills', regardless of class. And I'm...

Look at this jabroni. Laid the smack down so hard that he has to put me on ignore, then still cries about it 5 pages and 24 hours later. If ya smelllllllll

Ok ya... Fine... I'll submit to the argument that you could design every encounter in the world to take into account the implications of FD splitting, but that simply wasn't done in EQ.

Convo, I'm not looking for a real world precedent for feign death working. It's a fantasy game and those arguments are largely irrelevant. I'm talking about it's effectiveness as a gameplay mechanic. It adds as much to gameplay as it detracts from it.
