I want (and threw 20's at) both of these games. DAoC2 would be fukin killer. So would Crowfall if it follows through with their promises. I don't understand why people have to have only one type of game. Great line for a movie (there can be only ONE!), sux in real life.

Cool video. I mean really cool... but the nerd in me kept saying "What the fuck do they need rotating space station wheels when they clearly have artificial gravity without them? I hate not being able to overlook that kind of crap, but I can't help it.

Imo, it points to the disaster that is two realm RvR design. Warhammer and then later Aion both had some really cool mechanics and gave me some of the most fun I've had in RvR games since, well Daoc. But the imbalances that always happen in 2 realm games eventually destroyed them. In many...

Curt did the worst thing possible, he spent a large part of his personal fortune (loan guarentees, etc). Which, in the entertainment industry, isusuallya recipe for disaster. Chris is spending a large part of other peoples money. Basic CEO 101, let other people take the risks and you take the...

Lol, Ghengis Khan would disagree. in fact most leaders would laugh at you. Except those in roles where morality takes a center stage, like the Pope. But wait, turns out many of them weren't very nice people either, or very professional.

I don't have any issues with what he did or how he did it. Couldn't give a fuck less. You seem to be the type that thinks where the fork is placed on the table is more important that the lives of the people putting the fork down.

Which is a separate issue than dealing with people that threaten and commit crimes against you. You tying them together logically leads to a situation where one CEO who performs well can defend himself but someone who didn't perform has to let himself and his family be threatened and abused by...

I just find all this piling on Smed for being the victim very, very repugnant. I'll jump in and join you again once you start talking about Smed's part in destroying my precious (EQ).

I'm not a fan of smed. Blame him for the fall of EQ (my precious!) and all that. But I wouldn't wish what he went through on anyone. And until you've gone through it yourself you have no place to call him out for it. You sound more like a petulant child than he does actually. At least he has a...

Different paths perhaps? and endings? Otherwise replay value is low for the story folks.

All true, but that doesn't make him wrong. Don't know if SC will fail or not, the economic model they are using is too new to make any concrete predictions. But sometimes it seems like they are just selling pixel ships for a game they never intend to deliver. Just keep adding new "features"...

My brother loves all the Elder Scrolls games, he even likes TESO. For him, what he liked about the single player games is the mods. He didn't care much for Skyrim, too easy he said. So he loaded some mod that made it play like Morrowind and then he could get into it. He's not much of a mmo...

The main reason for those things is ease of inventory management. And occasionally (rarely) you see them for 20(25?) percent off I think. Hard to catch sales on that stuff, but it does happen. I've been tempted to get them also, just never pulled the trigger.

There are definitely a lot of people who buy those cosmetic items. But there are just as many who refuse to buy gems for any reason. And there are still plenty of people who think that buying gold, even if it's from ANET, is cheating. So the whale thing is true for the most part. I think the...

Pre-order available. Gets you into beta, etc.

I think your system would work but it doesn't have the immediacy of dinging levels, so wouldn't be as popular. Most players like leveling and like the ease of saying to their friends, "I just dinged level 37!" (heard that last night). If you take away that feeling of accomplishment then you need...

Yep, I agree. But until someone actually does manage to create the "Eve fantasy mmo", it's just term people throw out without thinking through the devilish details.

Most people have been asking for Eve in fantasy land for years. But for whatever reason it hasn't happened yet. It's a lot harder to translate the Eve experience to a rpg map than you realize. All kinds of basic gameplay elements are totally different and have to be redesigned. It isn't just...

Unfortunately, I missed out on the UO experience. So am somewhat hazy on the wherefores and whys, etc. So a question, why did the devs create the protected peace time you mention? I ask becuase even though I love the idea of full loot pvp, I get the feeling that it is a revenue killer for...

I doubt his resume got him the job. Once you've established yourself in the industry, then usually your next job is because of personal relationships. Somebody at the new company worked with you before and can vouch for you, etc, etc. Resumes are only important when you are new to the industry...

Great to see Koji Igarashi going off on his own and so many people rushing to support him. We need more creative powerhouses to break their corporate shackles.

I wouldn't be surprised if EQN is canned. And their reasoning that WoW style mmo's are over is partially true, but only for them. Because they are incompetent morons who couldn't take a great IP like Everquest and create something worthwile. They don't have the talent or leadership to make a...

Most people know what a PTW game is like, especially in PvP. Since I'm just a casual outside observer, I have no proof that this game is PTW, but it sure seems to be trending in that direction. Perhaps I am wrong and you can correct the impression.

Agree. Have only been following this casually, but I'm starting to get the impression that this game has lost it's way and has become just another cash grab, Pay To Win title. I'll buy the game when it's released and then delve into the inner workings of how to play / win. But if I am...

Been playing again off and on since the beginning of the year. Guild is mia so mostly solo pve and WvW. Not sure why I'm still logging in, but I think it might be because it's so mindlessly easy and beautiful at the same time (especially on a beast rig). Also, there hasn't been a new MMO out for...

Just curious, is not having nameplates that game breaking? Never got around to playing this so I honestly don't know. Also, if they did put them in, wouldn't that alienate the legions of fans from the single player game? Iirc, they were pretty upset about lack of viable first person before it...

Draegan's ok, better than most at running this site. And he seems to be pretty laid back about the whole thing which is a plus. Don't mind him trying to make a buck at it either, since it hasn't impacted me in any negative way. Don't see how it hurts anyone else either. As for his "failied"...

/shrug You're just following the herd. Everyone does it from time to time. The herd on this site early on decided that Wildstar was the holy grail and pumped it up incessantly, while bashing TES. Both games weren't what was promised but it is pretty clear that Wildstar was the bigger failure...

Damn, I wanted to be in that fight, even with the state of the engine as it is.

EQ1's early bosses were basically loot pinata's for end game guilds. Easy kills, if you took them out first. The fun was racing to them when they popped and taking out other guilds with trains etc.. Had quite a few run in's with GM's before they changed the rules and ruined the fun. Scouting...

Threw some of my pizza money at this.. hope I get the pepperoni that I ordered.

It might not be revolutionary but for someone who hates quests (always have, even in EQ) it's a god send. To be clear, what I hate about quests is the time involved in finding and talking to the quest giver, the time running to find the mobs to kill (if I don't have to spend time to google it...

This.. Monk EQ1 Which means a game that has a properFeign Deathtype pulling tactic. One of the best accidental mechanics EVER FUCKING DONE, and no mmo devs since have had the balls to do it again. I quit EQ2 within hours of playing it for the first time, once I realized that FD (and my...

This. I like the fact that they are focused on getting the mechanics and netcode tight first. Worry about the graphics later. Graphics are supremely important in the end and definitely help sell boxes. But if a game's mechanics suck then good graphics can't keep the players interested.

Well, I hope that in spite of all the drama and incompetence, Brad somehow manages to make this game and gets it released. I love the underdog stories.

Heh, I bought another account when they had the 9.99 sale for a couple days, thought it would be cheaper than buying extra char slots. Started a Ranger (Legolas9999999 huh huh) and got her up to 35 before I realized I would have to buy the expansion twice.. doh.

The lottery has better odds.

Not even sure if this story is true, but years ago I recall reading about somebody in Mexico incessantly harassing another player in EQ (that also lived in Mexico). Somehow the player being harassed let her boyfriend know and he found out where the troll lived. He went over and broke the troll's...

Crowfall does have some new things proposed that are interesting to discuss and I am looking forward to playing it. The game is so far from even a alpha state though that it is impossible to tie down how it will actually play. It's all conjecture at this point. It will be interesting to see how...

To be fair. 99.9999 percent of all the games that come out are just recycled rule sets from previous games with new graphics. DAoC's version of gaming was never really replicated though, so I'm more than happy to see a reboot.
