Hey guys, Was having a discussion last night with a few friends, and a question cropped up that we couldn't really find an answer to. Living in the UK, I've grown up always having the NHS and know very little about your healthcare other than I believe it works much like any other kind of...

Who uses lined paper - only to ignore the lines!?!?

It's not insta travel at all. It's exactly the same as asking a druid or wiz for a port to a zone, except you have to have a gem to go there. I don't have a problem with that at all. You seem to have completely missed the part saying you will need another player to actually take you there...

I thought Warcraft Adventures had been contracted out to a Russian developer and was separate from Blizzard's own in-house stuff? I was looking forward to that too, damn shame it got canned.

I feel the same about WoW's instances. Some straight passageways and a room does not make a dungeon. Once you have run them often enough, killing the same mobs over & over again, you get the same amount of tedium with a handful of annoyance too, because now I have to keep moving. At least in...

EC Tunnel was my auction house, bah. /grabs walking stick Damn kids, get off my lawn!

I enjoyed the ending to Pan's Labyrinth - I wouldn't say my mind was blown, but I didn't see it coming quite the way it worked out.

The problem I have with this is it's not really a constructive argument for or against, it's just your reason why a sub is bad for you personally. The movie comparison is far more apt than your example too. For me, I imagine the games I have downloaded for free on my phone number in the...

That's crap. You've basically described almost every computer game in existence with your generic statement - hit some buttons, things die. Even worse you offer no solutions or new ideas. Jesus, I feel some people just like to type complaints out for the sake of it.

I see your point but the simple solution would be that having someone on ignore doesn't mean you can't interact with them in some meaningful way. There is no reason you shouldn't all be able to see each other, just that Tad and Ut wouldn't be able to communicate with each other. If phasing...

My first character was a human necro out of Qeynos. I got to the main gate and thought, right I'll just go make a sandwich and grab a drink and settle in for a decent session, came back thinking my monitor had died lol. Then noticed I could see stuff, just it was really, really dark. My first...

I pretty much agree with all of that which is why I am not really holding out much hope for EQN. I'm pretty sure I will buy it, if only out of some misguided kind of loyalty or homage to EQ. I also remember reading nepotism is high on the list at SoE.

I can't see them giving system level access to players in a live world. I mean come on, who wants to be running across the Karanas only to come across a cock shaped house, or a cock shaped group of trees, or groups of mobs standing around in a cock shape, or a mob that looks like a cock ...

You know what I miss? Centralised servers. One of the things I really loved about EQ were the changes in player variety as the hours passed in a day due to everyone being on the same servers. Sure, it was shit if maintenance hit in your peak times and I'm sure a lot of people have bad...

My first character was a human necro out of Qeynos. Spent hours just trying to find my guild Grew up in the train hell of Blackburrow.

Yeah Befallen's trap floor put you on the third floor with all the high level undead stuff. If you didn't have a key for the bottom door you couldn't even train out.

So thought I would give this a try. Have managed to get everything running through eqw, but how the hell do I box? If I try to start another instance of eqw up, my current one just closes. Feels like I am missing something really simple here .... Edit: Ok figured it out, run eqw before...

You make it sound like they purposely created EQ like it was - they did it because they didn't know any different or were clueless about how players would use/exploit a certain mechanic. What makes EQ different was that the bulk of the mechanics were left as they were regardless. In today's...

You've basically described what was first done in Wintergrasp minus the pvp. Whilst it sounds like a great idea (I would like to play something like it), it would be nerfed into oblivion within weeks/months of release, especially if you introduced it for every city. Mainly because whilst pvp...

So with all this talk of EQN, I decided to patch up and log in to EQ, just for some nostalgic wandering about. After surprisingly finding out a few people in my guild are still playing, I headed over to ToV which was one of my favourite zones. Couldn't believe the fact that all the named had...

I haven't really been following EQN too much. Is it a given that it will be primarily a 3rd person MMO?

Don't bother with that NoGrp rip, the quality is absolutely appalling.

Is there any way I can play this from the UK using a rooted Nexus 7?

Smed may as well go the whole hog and release a set of development tools ala Skyrim as well. I mean, who wouldn't want this to be part of their EQnext experience?

Didn't EQ2 have that spell wheel thingy where each player in the group advanced it on by casting certain spells until it completed and fired off?

Ideas like this don't work well any more (if they ever did) because of spoiler sites. The moment you make the map more hassle to use than viewing on a website, is the moment you have created a redundant mechanic. Equally nobody is going to want to trade or purchase a map when you can just...

Maybe you should spend less time looking for smartass pictures to put in your posts and more time making some fucking sense. You ramble on about shit to do with EQ - I never even mentioned fucking EQ AT ALL. What I stated is that Warcraft in its current iteration lacks even a basic form of...

Really, you can break any game down to that and say it's shit - you are not getting the point. It's like saying Monopoly is a bad board game because all you do is go round and round the same board all the time, how repetitive. It's the interaction with other people that makes the repetitive...

Lost my beautiful wife to cancer. Will be coming up 3 years in January. Fuck cancer indeed.

What I don't want to see in the next MMO I play; Quest Accepted Any kind of circle on my mini-map Come to think of it, a mini map Kill 0/X

Soulless is exactly the right word to describe WoW in its current form and the reason why I quit. What's even worse is that WoW has now set the standard for MMO's to conform to. People expect X-server tech from the start because for most, it's all they have ever known. They don't realise the...

My car says I was fed up of paying too much for tax & fuel :/

What is the point of putting him in handcuffs?

Yeah, I'd go with that. One of the big problems I had with EQ2 was my expectations of recognising places from my EQ days, but they even fucked that up.

I just want dungeons dammit! Big, fuck-off, sprawling things I can get lost in. Fuck a series of connected rooms, plenty of MMO's have that already. Neither do I want a map! Maps are the devil! But most of all I want to see other people in there, people not in my party ...please?!?

I wasn't so much a lurker as more of an occasional poster and just in the MMORPG forum. Now I have had to spend hours reading through the screenshots and general on FoH just to have a clue as to what's been happening. Never knew I was hanging out with such a bunch of crazy folk!

I've been in the expansion about a week now and am having a lot of fun. There is always plenty to do especially if you are the explorer type as the new expansion is HUGE. Quest grinding can be a little tedious though.
