Okay. Please point me too the young developers' old school MMORPG kickstarter so I can contribute.

Just talk about the Pantheon "Talent Tree" specs - bring out the Vanilla WoW fanboys. -_-

Smed wouldn't sell for 2,000,000 or more. It would just show how badly he manages SOE, both SWG and VG could have been 'turned around' with enough investment. He could have rolled back the SWG changes and spent money on moving VG to a new engine.

Journeyman is going to sell out pretty soon.

Ah missed that key point. Thanks.

No way. Disciple is out unless Monk gets in I'll give you dollars to donuts. Monk specialization will be Monk (DPS/Eavasion Tank)/Disciple (DPS/Heal). That's an EQ Healer withplate.

So basically Dark Knight Dread Lord is the Necromancer? /aside You guys are idiots for putting your emails up for bots to troll.

Yep that's the division: VG Cleric, VG BloodMage

No. No. NO. NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo........ (<- tiny O's not periods. Need a 4k monitor to see) Lore should be relevant. I'm not disagreeing that this is the status quo, but I am saying this is one huge area that MMORPGS can actually improve on - making lore that matters.

I don't like the you were a hero bs. Why not just start as a regular Joe? And the PoP Planescape aspect is unnecessary as well. Start in a new fantasy world is enough for now.

Now is the time to pull the kickstarter. Fix things up and then bring it back: with all classes, a complete dungeon fly through and complete details on combat and crafting. Change the name to Wrath of the Fallen. Go for a lower base goal and add more physical swag. And bring on board one...

looks like a 15b yen loss in games on the 6k. Google Sony Edgar sec. For last quarter. Someone else will have to cut and paste the profit and loss by segment section.

SOE moved under SCEI to strengthen PlayStation 3 | Massively Ah SCEI not SCEA - got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Not any more, I'm pretty sure it was split 50%/50% SP/SCEA and is now 100% under SCEA. But same point applies.

They lost 180 million last quarter. Current estimates range from a full year loss of 33.2 billion yen to positive 22 billion yen (around -250 to +200 million) depending, I guess on how the holiday picture slate goes. Movie??Ts Flop Contributes to a Loss for Sony - NYTimes.com Sony Seen...

I'll feel bad for the devs in the slave pits who will suffer far, far worse than smed when soe goes under.

Someone has been working on an emu, maybe now he will get help. http://vgoemulator.net

I'll predict no later than summer 2015 for sunsetting SOE if Sony keeps bleeding money.

You guys are over thinking. Sony is losing money. They just shutdown an entire subdivision and fired everyone incuding the President of that sub division. Most likely SOE gets absorbed by SCEA and everything not also on the PS4 gets shut including EQ/EQ2 by end of this year. Bye bye Smed...

I don't think so. Smed really is the worst, he should have been fired over the swg fiasco.

Wow this thread went to the bad place.

I upped pantheon pledge as memorial to vg. Now is the time for brad to announce blood mages.

It's not Voxelriffic (tm)!

So star wars with voxeltech

No way. I'd guess destructible space or super hero game. It's all about the voxels baby. Edit: Bested by zzeris

Smedley's sekret business reason: if someone put money into vg and it became even modestly successful it would make Smedley look like the dumbass he is. -_-

I'm not a developer, but Vanguard as is and as was is not acceptable to the majority of players because of the engine. I played the hell out of that game but I put up with stuff that a lot of other gamers wouldn't, folks like you excepted.

You basically need to make a new game with a modern engine, with some kind of custom software to translate existing VG maps to the new engine. Then you will have to manually import and place the art assets and of course rewrite all the unique combat and crafting mechanics for the new engine...

Vanguard would need like 10million to get restarted. New engine, many new art and animation assets, re itemization and all the post 50 stuff would have to go. It looks dated now.

As I told Ut regarding his pantheon fantasy, SOE isn't doing well. It is only still around because of the ps4 ports and eqnext is only being funded because it to will go to the ps4. Can't believe smedley still has a job

Glad Smedleys FTP all games, all the time worked out for him. Worst CEO in the industry.

I can support this. As long as Salim goes back to crafting and the game is returned to its late beta release roots: no iod, multiple racial start areas, slow XP curve.

Relax buddy.

Only if the shields rebound off walls and you have to be in the correct position to recapture them.

Oh wait. Tron's discs are basically mini-shields. Also used as a ranged weapon.

You have forgotten your Cap'n America lore. He can use the shield as a ranged weapon.

Conan can kill you with a shield but that should be an exception not a rule. Except for Captain America.

Yes I'm underwhelmed by the BLP right now. But football swords was gold.
