This is a pretty silly analogy. Worse than Denaut's first kiss bs. I don't know exactly what happened but presumably someone somewhere figured out that fixing Vanguard in 2007 would require a new engine and everything that entailed and balked. In hindsight SOE probably should have paid...

This what I had thought they were doing for the last 3 months, prior to the kickstarter. But the lack of concrete info pretty much shows they didn't. Too bad because a D10 mini-RPG PDF would have been a kickass and cheap tier bonus as well as proof they'd done more than work on napkins...

Just hanging with Wizardhawk and Araysar in Sochi. Checking out some rainbow colored AKs. All is well.

The $45 was always the best option - even if the game runs out of money there's a decent chance of spending some time in a new, if buggy, MMO. The $250 pre-alpha is similar with even a better chance of spending some time in a new, if buggy MMO, but a lot more expensive.

I'm not a fan of a black pudding being able to drop a wedding dress or wtf. Drops should make sense for the mob, world drops are lazy itemization. I get that you are killing the giant cockroach in its "lair" so looting the cockroach is a substitute for looting the lair which might have the...

Yeah, how is it a shock to anyone that EQN will be on the PS4?

I can't see anyone supporting this as-is right now beyond the desperate (soon to be ex-Vanguard), hopelessly bored with all current MMOs (such as myself) and true believers (??) and that isn't enough to fund it. Why would an Angel Investor with the money to make their own old-school MMO...

Don't see how they can have a weight system given yesterday's or the day before's "you'll be able to easily switch out gear after a combat" ala VG's multiple paper doll system. That's an "or" you can have multiple paper dolls or you can have a weight system. You can't have both. Edit...

I thinking Asia for the next war, personally.

Well unemployment Insurance could have covered them for a few months while they worked on the game and looked for another job. But yeah, I get your point.

Robots May Replace One-Fourth Of U.S. Combat Soldiers By 2030, Says General | Popular Science Looks like it'll be fun time with robots in the middle-east starting in the mid 2020s.

They could have used a couple last year to get out the pre-alpha footage for the KS...

You're a terrible poster Skanda, you should welcome an influx of other terrible posters.

I don't care about limited instancing of raid targets as long as most dungeons are non-instanced and the loot on the contested raid targets is superior.

lol

Okay. They should redo all the classes to flat - none of that specialization crap - only exception maybe give Cleric-types one or two spells based on Diety or something. Cleric, Bloodmage, Disciple, Shaman, Druid Warrior, Paladin, Void Knight Rogue, Ranger, Monk, Beastlord, Berzerker...

Was very hedged. Don't see it happening, if the game happens (don't see that happening either ;-) )

The most interesting part of the video so far was Brad's comments on dynamic content - it'll be interesting to see how that plays out with respect to EQNext. I thought he actually had an interesting point - people like to feel they have 'conquered content'; and purely dynamic content prevents that.

That's at 15 right? What about 20/mth?

Eh I found this funny. Maybe. Maybe.

Which is gecko's point better no game then a bad game. Need pickle quote from Anchorman.

I don't think funding of this kickstarter equates to old school mmo desire, I think most publishers or outside investors if they have eyes on this kickstarter would think that. At the end of the day I'd rather no kickstarter had happened then the current bad kickstarter but since all we have is...

Okay I see your point. I don't know - maybe you're right even if it gets built there isn't enough subs to pay for a live team/cs + next expansion team. I hope not as that means I should just accept the end of interesting new MMOs and start playing on P99 or something.

I wish he'd taken it down on the 14th and took a mulligan as someone posted. Well maybe Draegen and co can run a kickstarter for their MMO, I'll throw in $10. Also I should go back and edit my "I think they'll make it" post on the 14th or so when they got 50k or whatever on the second day as...

No personal hate for the guy. Just for his business decisions. Any other business and he'd have been fired for EQ2 debacle or SWG or letting the number one MMO in 2001 go to number 4 or 5 by 2007 (or whenever it was).... But maybe he gets lucky with EQN and is back on top. Stopped clock is...

The problem is, if it doesn't get funded (or close to it) that is going to be interpreted the same way the Vanguard disaster was interpreted: not sufficient interest in an old school game (not that Pantheon is actually "old school" but whatever). So it's a catch-22 or maybe a catch-23 (that's...

You are probably right but I like to think that if the KS gets funded (or if not funded gets above 500k) but nothing happens beyond a pre-alpha that explodes, the fact that the KS got funded will inspire another more organized group to try this again but with organization and actual prep. I...

You're no fun buddy, that's too bad

I think you mean medicate - you're not following the Amod thread.

Yep, SWTOR is making money from FTP but that's the Star Wars nerds.

Yeah, but why stir up that hornet's nest and even mention it? Now I'll have to watch the whole video.

Look at the date: 2011. Edit: I'm sure all these posts are now headed to the Ut thread. -_-

Sure when they first switched. Not now.

This btw is a real concern. As more information is revealed it gets further away from the "More like EQ1" comment.

LOTRO - No update this year. Trion, AoC ,Etc. Yeah they're all doing really great. Closed studios, re structured into purely casual MMOs They all made a ton of money with the FTP switch but once they get over that initial rush the wad of money isn't the same. Give me a fucking break...

Lol. I never denied that I reported that some idiot pulled his pledges twice in fact I think I mentioned that I was going to report it to kickstarter in this thread somewhere. Had nothing to do with you - you will note that there is no mention of any names. But keep trolling and keep thinking...

Paying for Alpha is a result of FTP being a bullshit monetization scheme for MMOs. It works for games like LoL because they can always introduce new OP classes and cosmetic shit and you're drawing on a huge base (55 million??). Yeah Blizzard and EA made money from the FTP aspects of WoW and...

Hahahah. I could see Brad making Rangers a tank |-)

And lets face it - EQ style is easier to code and playtest. I'd like to see this game get made and simpler means more likely to get made. I guess I can deal with the MTG card abilities but am already cool on the chains for all the reasons presented by you guys here.
