Maybe they had been part of this community for YEARS like the rest of us and were just... I don't know... Fucking discussing MMOs on an MMO discussion forum? The fact that they were their own is irrelevant.

Grimmlook's mah boyeeeeeeeee!

I love this shit. Sell a product? You've gotta be fucking kidding me. Even at its height, how many people frequented this board? 1000? 2000? Why the FUCK would a major dev do this himself, instead of some low level marketing department shill? These people deal with box sales in the hundreds...

No, he has a moderate and logical outlook on game development. You, on the other hand, clearly do not. Have you even played Vanguard?

Wait... You're telling me somebody actually did a good job of moderating shitposters? Last post I saw on the topic Tarrant pretty much refused to discipline the guy saying that it was perfectly acceptable to shill in another poster's (competitor's) thread. Good on them if they reversed that...

Thanks The guy clearly has some serious fucking aspergers. I don't think rehabilitation is a possibility.

What does RRP stand for anyway?

Meh, I think Qwerty is a funny dude and I genuinely enjoy reading his posts... That is, until previously mentioned Internet tough guys disagree with something he says and troll him into an atomic rage blackout. It's pretty much like watching jocks in highschool try and shove some kid's head...

This. Anyway, it was no use arguing with Internet tough guys about it then, and there's no point now, so I'm just gonna leave sleeping dogs lie.

We are CERTAINLY no worse than MMORPG.com. Their absence is a statement to how they've been treated in the past. Not because of the demographic of these boards. **for reference, check out what they did to the devs of Greedmonger... It's fohguild.org worthy shit.

The saddest part about it is that I liked Brad and Curt. Sure, they had a job to do. They were proud of their products and were trying to get us pumped on them too... But we REALLY collectively shoved our epeens in their asses, and the community has been worse for it since. If you guys think...

Ya... I remember quite a few testosterone fueled witch hunts on fohguild.org. Not sure I'd go as far as saying Utnayan is the only one responsible. His critiques were certainly the most personal, since he knows the player involved... But to this day we have nobodies making fun of Brad's drug...

PS2 doesn't look like garbage, it just runs like garbage :P Get yourself a nice i7, oc that mofo to 5ghz, and get a video card with the most TFLOPS you can possibly find (7970 ghz edition is pretty rad) and you'll be fine in those 300 man battles.

That's because no MMO since EQ has been an actual fucking RPG. (Well, maybe vanguard too) You don't get to call a game that just because it has elves in it IMHO.

Pretty sure in kunark/velious era EQ, rangers out DPSed some powerhouse classes like, Bard, Enchanter, all healers, and mages on mod rod duty. Once they get vulak gear of course.

It's the nose part that really bugged me

Can't imagine another way to say it Also, please tell me you all say kay-noce (Qeynos) and not key-nose like a retard ex guildie of mine.

Not sure if anyone is in the same boat as me... But I find this a little troubling... As of this year, I will be playing the exact same games I was playing 10 years ago. Everquest (next) TRIBES (ascend) DOTA (2) Not sure if that says more about me, or the state of the industry. Edit...

Luclin pronounced Luck-Lin too... I always said Luke-Lin

This is the best thing I have watched in years. G4tv EQ spotlight from like 2003. Many lulz. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ubokT1_...%3DubokT1_AZWo

I don't think anyone expects to be able to dig holes or redirect rivers or any absurd shit like that, however, I think people want to be able to make an impact on semi/non permanent world objects (trees, player made structures, seasonal related terrain)

Open world PVP on Odus would be such a waste. Now the Karanas being an open world PVP/keep/guildhall siege zone with capturable Highhold Keep? Yes. Fucking. Please. Imagine the Qeynos -> Freeport runs? *drool*

I think you missed my point. But ya, I agree. I'm upgrading my rig just for EQN if it turns out to be what I hope it is. :P

There are other games?

I'm so sick of the 'cartoony' art style complaints. News flash, not everyone who plays MMOs reads dorky fantasy novels, or gives a shit about any of the stuff thatwedo. The fact of the matter is this: low graphic demands = wider range of systems = more players = vibrant world = longevity...

Read up on how TESO is doing it. You are pretty much correct, but with a few nuances.

The game is certainly going to be high quality. The issue is, will retention mechanics be in place? Will the PVP/social interaction be so good that it will mak up for their lack of a PVE raid end game? I'm betting not, and no matter how great the bones of this game are, it won't have enough meat...

Did I say 'reading' or 'watching'?

From what I'm hearing the world is quite large, segmented into big provinces, and many dungeons (mini dungeons or whatever they are calling them) are in fact, open world. But hey, Planetside 2 has multiple servers, so maybe I'm super wrong.

Rangers don't get 'fixed' until AAs (Luclin). Pretty sure they only thing they are useful for in Velious is weaponshield - and that's only used on raids with tank switching (AoW). This is all subject to my memory of a video game from over a decade ago, so ya.

Everything I'm reading is saying this game is, for the most part, fucking sweet and exceeding expectations. So take that for what it's worth (not a lot)

Fountain must be cursed lol

Meh, TESO is doing it, and I guarantee they will have a lot more subs than EQnext early on. They also have plenty of non-instanced content.

Doooooooo it! Stuck at home with my newborn

I dunno, I think my logic is pretty sound on this, but I might be a bit biased

How's the battle going?

There could be multiple phases of dungeons (100 player cap for example) while still being 'open world'. Areas of the world with permanent housing structures? Not so much. The EQ2 example just doesn't hold water because mega servers weren't a mature tech when that game was in development. A...

'Points to the likelihood' implies a hypothesis, not a 'conclusion'. Anyway, it just makes sense in my mind. If the world is as massive as is being implied, that would mean there's a lot of real estate to build housing on - think Vanguard. However, if every EQN player was on one server, no...
