    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Had a toon on Thuluxe during that time. Remember the drama but can't remember the details. Did it have to do with Sacred Omen (the guild)? Didn't they fold because of Goombah, or something? Man that was a long time ago. Memory is so hazy. SO imploded then came back with Jeeves, Bascome and some...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    Main reason I haven't upgraded also (980's), nothing really taxes my system even now. The new cards / cpus are definitely an improvement over mine and normally I would be upgrading by now. But we seem to have reached a magical era where the power curve is way ahead of the software. Probably...

    Star Control RETURNS?!

    Given that chart, it's hard to see where the original creators win anything from this. I tend for favor creators over corporations, but if they sign away their work ("work for hire" contracts) or try to copyright ideas then the creator hasn't a leg to stand on. I wonder if they have anything...

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Never sold any of my accounts. Was offered a lot for my SK a few times back in my bleeding edge days. And sometimes I check out how much some of my toons are worth in other games just to see what people are paying. Have had people offer me cash for some of my toon names also (use to reserve as...

    Spell Force III

    So glad they came out with a sequel. I spent a ton of time playing the first 2 a few years back. Great games. Hybrids, but it worked for me. I hope this is as good, haven't tried it yet though.

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    Pantheon may or may not be a winner. But even it's systems are retreads of EQ. Granted, a lot of those systems will feel new since only old EQ did them, but it's still a retread. There is a lot of room to innovate in gaming. Strategy games don't have to follow the same fucking 4x systems. MMO's...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    He'll be a perfect fit at Netflix. Metrics and boring pablum is their stock and trade. So nothing new for him.

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    Both are good games but even they are old at this point. GW2 also broke new ground in terms of QoL advances, etc. Many of which were copied by WoW and other games. But again that was years ago. Most new games are retreads of old games with the exact same systems and a little bit different...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    Was bored and picked this up a couple weeks ago. Wish I'd waited for the sale, doh. Graphics are great. And as other have said, those first 3 missions where you get to kill Rebel Scum are fun. Other than that it's just an average game. It's main draw for me is that it isn't another...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    Running a 3 screen settup, nvidia surround, 7680x1440. For games that support it, the immersion is incredible. Just love the widescreen setup, will never go back to the little square. Using Strix 980's in SLI though. They still work great and can run most games in ultra, but setup is 4 years...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Even though I'm not a big fan of WoW, have always thought that Blizzard did top notch work. Have to believe that they will do right eventually by this game. May take a while. Another thing about BFA is a lot of the work done was under the hood, stuff that the player doesn't necessarily see...

    Lol, coming from someone who has spent years in this thread railing against Brad I find that funny. I'm just a casual drop in. Minimal effort for maximum entertainment. You all live here. Which is sad and hilarious at the same time. Good work!

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    Aye, I think a lot of people feel the same way. I may still jump in soon even though the tech isn't as good as I would like. Kind of bored with gaming atm and playing around in VR Elite / Valkrie / Fallout 4 etc, might be fun for a while.

    Lol. You are asking that in THIS thread? This thread has been a steaming pile for years. It's infested with cockroaches and ankle bitters like Booze and Erronious. They lack intelligence and the ability to even stop themselves from being trolled. The only value they bring are the entertaining...

    I still have a lot to do, enjoy the mindless exploring bit. But I play most games pretty casually, rarely finish them. Just a tourist these days.

    Lol, so I hit a nerve with the broken comment I see. Still off your meds? So who damaged you? Your father? An uncle? Or was it the little girl down the street who called you poopy face? Heheh. You poor thing. I should feel sorry for you I suppose.

    The fact that you had to make that quote up pretty much explains everything about you and your attitude toward the people here. The constant personal attacks from the likes of you, booze, etc is really quite amazing. You are so invested in your hatred of all things Brad that you take it out on...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    Lol. Wish the guild on my server had helped like that. Unless you were one of the core classes whose epic was considered important to advance the guild, you were pretty much left to your own devices. SK epic was low priority for us. But I had fun getting my friends together for most of the hard...

    Fallout 76

    Pretty much. But the other side of it is that now days there isn't any need for the cable tv bundles. Cut the cord for good finally and love it. Paid CBS for a month of time last year to watch the new Star Trek series. Binged it then canceled. They literally had nothing else to offer that I...

    Having to kill Cazic Thule for the SK epic was intense. I still remember the first time seeing the SK epic. Thought it was so f'ing cool. My desire for that damn weapon pretty much set me on the course to join the best guild on my server since they were the only ones capable of killing Cazic at...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Yes, very true. And those are my biggest concerns for these games. Making mmos is incredibly hard to do, especially on the cheap. I fully understand that all of these games will probably fail for one reason or another. But that is true of all creative endeavors. If it was easy we wouldn't be...

    Not in the mmo space. If there is a modern mmo like Pantheon out there, let me know. Same thing with Crowfall / Camelot Unchained.

    Well if I regretted my decision, then you might have a point. But I know what Kickstarter and crowdfunding in general is about, and never had any illusions about it. It's free money for the devs. That's why I have only ever used kickstarter for those 3 games I mentioned. They were the only...

    Kickstarters are about giving up money for hopium. Didn't you get the memo? Lol. If you don't like Kickstarter that's fine, but don't blame Brad for your issues. And I didn't actually give them any money until about a year ago when they were doing the alpha push. Considered doing the 1k thing...

    So the game being built, coders and artists being hired, progress being made is a scam? Cool. Sign me up. If Booze can do the same then he deserves the money. But he's all mouth with no brains, or ambition. You all make it sound so easy, and yet I see nothing from you except whining and snark...

    Gave 300 ea to Pantheon, Crowfall and Camelot. A lot of you think that's nuts, but I want to support the people who are trying to make the games I prefer. I fully realize that at least one (or maybe even all) of these games will be shit, or never released. That's fine, losing the money doesn't...

    I still enjoy the game, so it's very hard for me to understand all of the hate. Although, was never a big fan of the Fallout universe anyways, so wasn't expecting much. Agree with @Daidraco, this controversy should force them to reconsider some of their complacent attitudes towards the fans and...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    If they have events like the annual Steam sales then i'm fucked. I'm a sucker for the "90 PERCENT OFF!" 2 dollar game that just sits in my HUGE inventory of other unplayed games.
