Considering the EPL has only been around since 1992, you really can't have a century of ineptitude, butBlackburn Roversis probably the closest you will get. Second place in 93/94 season. Champions in 94/95 season. And now playing in the Champions League (English AAA soccer if you will). If...

And the celebration parties would be epic.

Wait, are you a Dolphins fan or Cowboys fan?

If you want to know what the actual long term impact futball will have on American sports, it's not a soccer awakening in the U.S. that this World Cup will usher in. It's this. And, as always, it's about money. The NBA Is Moving Little Jerry West - YouTube

The outcome didn't matter only because Portugal won. That is 20/20 hindsight. If Ghana had won, the US/GER outcome would have absolutely mattered, in that only a tie would advance both teams forward. Saying it didn't matter NOW is intellectually dishonest when K.O.'s segment was aired the...

And will then grow up to spend their time, and more importantly, theirmoneyon American football, basketball, and baseball. Probably in that order. K.O. is so right. When A Tie Is A Win, We All Lose - YouTube

Yup, dieing to Pain and Suffering was an xp free death. CR runs still suck though.

Full classic content or going with something slightly different?

Because this is going to be an oldschool, difficult, group-based, community driven MMO. I mean we've all heard these people tell us that an MMO was just made with their ideas, it would be a guaranteed success. GUARANTEED! How can you pass up guaranteed success?? These people are instrumental...

EQEmulator: PDF Guide is Back Up!!! Most complete step-by-step guide I have seen so far for setting up the server. Setting up a client is a different guide.

I don't know if you've checked out Kildrukaun's Prophecy server. Check it out as it may be more along the lines of what you are looking for. It's not the difficulty of classic EQ as the mobs have been made significantly weaker to allow more solo/boxing advancement easier, but it has the EQ...

Seriously. A box labeled Groups and the word Focus inside it? You have to be shitting me. These are troll pics right?

You can pre-loot. My friend and I are almost halfway done gathering the quest items for the solo Velious progression in Kunark and we just dinged 52 last night. The guides through Velious progression are on the forums. After that you just have to follow the quest from the quest giver as no...

If you are planning on doing the solo progession quests, there is a ground spawn in HHK you will have to get. If you have invis, you can use it to get around, but it's rather deep in the Keep in the library. My friend plays a bard as one of his 3-box, so we used bard invis since it is...

There will be kids in Africa who will love their "Pantheon got Kickstarter funded!!" t-shirts.

Are you suggesting I put in a resume to be VI's CFO?

What are calling "light of day"? Alpha, closed Beta, open Beta, full release? Because it would not surprise me at all if Brad got a very crude server/client setup going. Gave some of those patsies that have sub'd to his forms the client and server access. Call it an alpha test. Have them...

Then I ask again, what the hell are the programmers doing that all the KS money is going to pay for Brad's team's "pro-bono" work? What work??? It would be a different matter if Brad said "We need the money to get the programmers/artists/designers to start working." But he didn't. According...

How about a character standing on the hill next to tower swinging a sword at a rat. You know, something that requires at least a scripting language to create.

So they have no programmer, or they do, just someone not named Vu. In which case the question still stands. Where is all this "hard work" these programmers are doing?

People keep refrencing Vu as the only programmer on the staff. Yet we have ZERO evidence of anything that took actual programming to create. We have vague game design ideas and a screen shot from Unity. If Vu is working on something, where is the evidence of his hours of programming effort?

Shining Rock Software Created by one person. Everything from art assets, sound, game design, game play, everything. One guy. And the game looks solid based on all YouTube videos I've seen of it. Comes out tomorrow. Vu can do it!!!

Wrong again. Played a raid cleric. (i.e. stared at the floor and pressed my CH key during rotation). Saw everything from Trakanon and VP to PoTime. Saw the training, ks'ing, flaming, /ooc spamming, zone crashing, shit-fest that you seem to think is "hardcore". You're still an adolescent shit...

You're a moron. UO was my first MMO. Played EQ for years after that (Kunark - PoP). The MMO market HAS evovled beyond the elitest grief fest that you seem to enjoy. You're a pimply faced buffoon who can only get off with a hammer and nail in your ass. There is a reason the MMO market left...

Why you mad, bro?

Reading the Raid Discussion and RnF forums on P1999's forums also reminds me why certain "advances" in MMO design were much needed. I still reflexively twitch reading about multiple guilds camping trackers and camping entire raid forces at zonelines then a mad rush/train/KS shitfest that...

And if you want EQ for the iPhone, then more power to ya.

Why do you insist on creating straw-man arguments when discussing the viability of an authentic recreation of EQ? Consols with 2 controllers, RvR MMO's, old-school 8-bit games, Diablo II? Really? Yeah, I engaged you bit on this, but these are all straw-mans to the point that an authentic...

We will just have to agree to disagree on what the actual market for this type of game is. In regards to the constant "it has to be done right" argument. The one thing people keep missing that in order to "do it right", the cost in development would still be so prohibative that the market...

Bingo. The market is not there for 2-button console that will rival PS4, XBone, or even the original Wii. Likewise, the market is not there for a AAA-EQ clone. The market is niche as hell and the budget (and quality) will have to reflect that. Huge world, lots of dungeons, tons of classes...

Honest question: Do you think a console with a 2-button controller could get Kickstarter funding in 2014?

When most players engage in this entertainment, they want their playtime to be as efficient as possible. Riding a horse may be fun, but when the point isn't riding the horse, it's getting to the park to see your friends, people will still take the car. That's the point. You still think riding...

It saddens me to watch people like Merlin thrash around begging for the horse-and-buggy version of MMO's when we are in the internal-combustion-engine era. You keep gripping that buggy whip, Merlin. Someday it will be worth a ton as an antique relic.

If that's true, then I am forced to assume that what he went to Microsoft with was a bar napkin with his name on it and a budget number. LOL @Microsoft indeed.

Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yup, that's apples to apples if I've ever saw it.

There is also a market for buggy whips. If they're done correctly.

They did... it was called Plane of Fear.

Nah, they'd help fund a huge portion, but would demand a royalty. They'd probably do something like $800,000 for 49% (they aren't game developers, they don't want to be making those decisions), $1 royalty for every box sold and a $0.50 royalty on every monthly subscription. That sounds more...

I've met Lizard. He saw me when I was on Craag in Feerrott at level 5 and handed me a shield and some helm. My friend and I are discussing joining a guild, but I'm a little hesitant to join people who are so far ahead of us in progression. I know they'd be more than helpful in helping us...

This server is a blast. I'm currently playing with a RL friend that played the game when EQ came out in 1999. We are loving the way this server is balanced. We are each boxing 3 chars. I have a war/clr/mag and he is boxing an ench/shm/bard. We are working our way through levels and getting...
