True, but EQ evolved along with the industry. The modern version of EQ is nothing like the original, and hasn't been for a very long time. EQ up to and including Velious seems to be the consensus version that most have enshrined in rose colored memory. I personally liked some of the things in...

Of all the new developments since EQ this is one of the worst.

Hyperbole much? Most people have fond memories of EQ and miss many of the things you talk about. I really miss old school pulling, open world dungeon crawls, old school enchanters, etc. As do most of us. I think most of us also agree that some of EQ's harsh systems could be successful in a...

Oh come on. I didn't say I didn't like it. I said there wasn't any where else to go. Reading comprehension ftw. edit: and yes farm mode was BORING. So I, like almost everyone else in end game raiding guilds, had a lot of "deaths in the family" breaks back then.

I played everquest for years, almost 4 years played on my SK alone, and that was before level 75 was max level. Everyone did, we didn't have a choice, until WoW came along. EQ and WoW (and a couple other minor mmos) were the only games around for a long time, so of course people played them for...

There aren't enough devs nor enough money to create the amount of content you are looking for in just one game. It isn't realistic to ask for it. Just consider all mmo's together as one giant mmo and then you have your answer. edit: Some sort of link between separate mmo's that allowed...

Lol, that's funny considering that I'm probably older than 99 percent of the people on this site. Having been around the block a few times, and all the other blocks nearby, we old folks like to see new sights. The point of my "rant" is that I like to play a bunch of mmo's. I don't leave them...

They use to but that ship has sailed. Again, there were very few choices when WoW came out. But now there are so many mmo's out that the modern player jumps from mmo to mmo every couple of months. That is the industry norm and it isn't going to change. Developing for the old model is guaranteed...

F2P is also great for players who like to jump around from game to game every few days. Variety being the spice and all that. If I subbed to every game I log into every month it would pay for a new truck. There are so many games out now and most of them have something fun to do. Playing just...

Dungeon crawls in non-instanced dungeons are fun. The content can have infinite variable outcomes, even with the most basic mob ai, because the players determine the environment. When multiple groups are crawling through a non-instanced dungeon all kinds of hilarity can and does happen...

The reason Tuco called dungeons "too gimicky" is because they are easy and stupid (at least that is how I read it). GW2 has some depth to the combat with combos, etc. The problem is that there isnt' any need to use it. Every dungeon, event and any other encounter doesn't require any skill...

The problem with GW2's PvE is it is just too fucking easy and there are no rewards. RISK / REWARD Somebody tatoo that on every fucking mmo dev's forehead. And then make sure they brush their teeth every morning. Idiot loser mmo devs get lost in mindless stuff like gear repair, crafting...

Perhaps initially, but WoW raids evolved into to this mind numbingly boring hoop jumping contest where raid members have to program all their robotic moves and perform them perfectly or risk destroying the event for everyone else. EQ raids mobs were not nearly as complicated and allowed for...

If you just do the hearts in each zone of your race then you get more than enough xp to level. You don't even have to do the storyline or travel to other races zones. There is absolutely no need to camp a single event. Putting the events on the map is a good idea though. The chest issue I...

Assuming you didn't bot or buy gold, then send in a ticket and post on the forums. Same thing happened to me a few weeks into the game. It was a very frustrating experience getting my account back. Took about 10 days of sending in tickets and posting on their forums. They eventually acknowledged...

Most mmo's are successful from a business standpoint. They may not be printing money like WoW does but they are still extremely lucrative for the businesses involved. Success from a gamer's perspective is totally subjective. I personally think WoW is a failure as a game. It's old, hackneyed...

They are kind of funny in a pathetic sort of way. I can see the hate train on SWTOR, it had (has) some serious issues outside of the storylines. But the GW2 hate is reaching imo. It's not the perfect game, far from it. But it is very solid and better than most. My question for Swagdaddy and...

Making overflow the default for pve zones would help a lot. There are plenty of people still playing the game but they are too spread out across the servers to trigger the massive events that were so much fun at release. So leveling alts is pretty lonely atm, and a bit boring. They have the...

I'm rooting for these guys. Would really like to play a decent pvp mmo. And no, EVE doesn't do it for me.

I enjoyed Lotro for a few months a couple of years ago. Nice casual game with a great community. The only thing lacking imo was decent pvp, which is true of most mmos. Think I'll download this and check it out again. Not playing much of anything atm, this should be fun for a bit.

I was in The Secret World closed beta. Another game that was fun for all of 6 weeks.. They at least tried to be different though. Have to give them props for that.

What mmo is worth playing? Really. The trolls will all jump up and down and make fun of people for playing AoC, SWTOR or GW2 for a couple months but they never mention what mmos are good. SWTOR sucked but it was fun for a few short weeks until you hit the endgame. The same can be said of all...

Still on the fence about this. It sounds good but hype is cheap. Keep us updated, if you all like it then I'll give it a shot.
