On the other hand, gaming is like taking out the actual physical parts of playing football! I also agree that WoW got pretty close to a good sweet spot for an MMO. I feel like they made solo-content too prevalent and made loot too common. I'm a bit on the fence on whether instances for raids...

Oh and for buying armor sets on a pre-release kickstarter, nothing would crack me up more than logging into the game and seeing people who spent $1000 buying an armor set that I'll outlevel in a few days. Even if StarCitizen is amazing I think most people will regret paying as much as they...

The most important part about the EQ death penalty is that if you weren't a high level cleric you either had to ask someone for help or you had to eat a huge penalty. That forced socialization is really important.

3m is huge.

Oddly enough both a_skeleton_03 and duppin seem pretty far from the center on the US political scale (Duppin is liberal, a_skeleton_03 is conservative). I've also noticed that the measure of how much liberals vs conservatives bitch is dependent on who is in power. Most of the time I see...

Would be cool if a fitday or other diet tracking website allowed you to enter your diet for a week and produced a chart like that. Obviously some people need more vitamins than others and one week isn't enough to get a true average but it'd probably do okay. I've tried taking multivitamins...

Haha no wonder why I had such problems with him. I used a spear throughout the entire game.

That was another one of those bosses I never felt comfortable with when I beat him. I'm sure there's videos of people dancing with him but I feel like I just fought him enough until I got lucky, rather than totally figuring him out and being comfortable with killing him.

Yup, the way the emperor is determined is yet another dumb choice by Zenimax. I was hoping they'd follow GW2's example with taking keeps / the center castle. Whichever guild did the most to take it over could claim it and throw up their banner. The most logical thing to do would be to match that...

That's another reason why I don't worry about droughts in the southwest. In addition to decreased consumption from higher costs, the cost of desalination will be lower than the cost of getting water from the colorado river (and other sources) and coastal cities of California (LA et all) will...

I was born in Vegas and it's amazing visiting my family there every year and seeing the increasingly stringent rules and respect they have for water. I remember nearly everyone having lawns, but now it's rock gardens everywhere. And Lake Mead has a giant crown of 'the water used to be this high'...

I would be interested to see a 'top ten things the Rerolled community wants in a future mmo' list. Would just be interesting to see if we could come to a decision. That'd be more appropriate for non-MMO specific threads (Ex: what are action mmos missing?)

Squeaky wheel gets the kick! To the OP: I assume Duppin has a mental issue that makes him perceive slights, no matter how inconsequential, as huge issues. I think a_skeleton_03 is a combination of stupid and bored, where he will start off trolling someone for fun and drama, get called out...

Yeah WoW is like that and still was back when I played in wotlk. You just had to know the gear. There is much more gear acquirable in much different ways in WoW than there was in EQ so it's a lot harder to tell what's going on.

This seems a little weird, could you give one example of a post you think should be copied into the OP?

So I'm pretty sure I'm an evil character from The Walking Dead. I'm playing breakdown and trying to create the ultimate survival dream team which means rolling the dice on survivors over and over looking for well rolled experts. Meanwhile the inability to see the survivor stats until they're...

When you feel ready, be sure to check out the Game of thrones and mithrintia academy servers to see what kind of crazy shit the MC community makes.

Oh cool that sounds great. And a difficulty of ten is basically impossible?

Beyond the argument of whether or not zerging was a frequent occurrence in EQ I say who gives a shit if it happens in future MMOs. I'm so tired and jaded of cutting edge raiding from WoW (Even after like 4 years of being away, hah) that I'd rather do the faceroll dragon encounters in GW2 than...

This is how I remember Kerafyrm being killed: Top 5 Most Memorable Events in MMORPG History -- MMOsite News Center -- www.mmosite.com

lol, I doubt that'll impact me as much because I'll probably be king of the world by weekend's end but that's a weird choice. I feel like I left my bros in a greaet state last night but will log on today to find them all starving and emotional.

kerafyrm.

That's kind of weird, here I am just having fun posting about MMO design because this community is knowledgeable and has good ideas to bounce off of.

I suppose it's a matter of preference. My preference is to be able to be able to build a healer spec and gear set that is optimal for healing in raid play and be able to switch to a DPS that's optimal for DPS in group play. My preference is to be able to have a tank that goes LD and fill the...

He had a choice between expediting the writing process and giving up and just finishing the HBO series first. He chose the latter.

So I have no idea what the Breakdown DLC is or how to use it, but I did buy it from Steam before I started playing. Anyone know what to do with it?

The tank/healer/cc + DPS is a proven combination that I'd like to see continue in new MMOs, I hate group content for MMOs that don't have that style of combat. However each class should be able to spec (And easily respec on the fly when out of combat) to fill at least one trinity role and...

correlation is not causation. You'll have to be pretty convincing to demonstrate how demand is driven by supply in the console market.

I haven't played DS enough to give an example but I'd bet that there are some builds that seem intuitive at first but because of balancing are really shitty.

What's the persistent world thing?

Ok put about 13 hours into this game, I really love it so far. All the consolitis problems I listed aren't huge deals, but I'd like to add 'hilariously shifting fovs when I drive my camera' into the list of dumb shit game developers did. I just built myself a home in the truck warehouse and...

I am a super-resolutioner. I want to start getting in shape at the start of the year, but will put it off until the other dirty resolutioners give up in February.

Pretty poor article, the guy said basically nothing about TESO and why it's not going to succeed. And when TESO was announced both TES fans and MMO fans were excited about it. An MMO that follows in TES' footsteps would be amazing. But TESO is just a WoW clone that killed a TES game, stole its...

Sounds like a pretty amazing vacation. I would be worried about driving a mobile home through SF though!

What title do you want? Also where did your avatar go? I could have sworn I gave you one...

You're right. Any other HOS candidates? I really haven't felt like any threads have met the bar.

You've never played any games with me, have you?
