They should have had way more oversight. They handed Brad a ton of money and don't seem to really tracked it.

Bah, SOE blew it with the changes to racial starting areas. I was interested in playing again - starting a Dark Elf or Gnome or something I haven't played since Beta but you only get the three starting areas plus IoD. Screw that. Half the fun of the game was just starting a toon in some place...

Basically, Art Assets aside, VG as she was released in Jan 2007 was developed in about a year - most of the early functionality/combat system was just thrown out. There's a summary somewhere. Anyway, MS flipped out when they figured it out. And you wonder why I'm less concerned about the...

Sure buddy. Because there's been so many awesome MMOs since EQ right? The developers of GW2 and EQN have solved/are solving very complex and difficult problems. Did they make/are they making good games?

Since forever. Also eagle says fuck you.

Nah. He's an idea man. Not a manager. He'll fuck things up if he's CEO. If he's grown up he'll realize that and hire someone other than himself to run the company and produce the game. He's job title should be CIO - Chief Idea Officer.

@Erronius. Fuck wind power. You know how many fucking birds get killed by wind turbines? A fuck of a lot. @Warhead The President's action are, as with much of what he's done during his imperial presidency, illegal. The President doesn't get to "suspend" laws to do what he wants. Reality...

Depends on if Smed & his Boss (Andrew House, IIRC?) think they can make money a la Verant. Smed, House & Co, invest in Brad's new company. SOE "loans" them tech. Game releases if successful, Sony buys Company and Smed, House & Co get $$$. If game is unsuccessful, not on SOE balance sheet...

More like the wind don't blow all the time, same reason Solar is pretty shitty outside of the Sunbelt. People shit on coal as not being green, but without coal the planet would be forestless. We would have burned up all the trees decades ago.

US History textbook guts the second Amendment under the guises of "summary" of Amendments.

Bunkers are stupid. Farms that are miles and miles away from a main road are where it's at.

Obama pushing gun control again in 3... 2... 1..

Solar Power doesn't matter when we're discussing replacing power generation via oil or gas. @Agraza nothing good will happen when India and China tangle. Just lots of dead people.

You brought up Solar Power as if it mattered. So yeah, you did. Also, Iran would happily wipe Israel off the map given the opportunity. It's muddled thinking like yours and Biden's "They can have all the Fissile material they want" that is giving Iran the bomb. And you wonder why I think...

Because solar energy is going to solve all our power needs? Holy fuck, I can only assume you're trolling.

Yes, lets keep stepping on our economy. It's been going so well. We don't have quite enough people on food stamps yet.

Chicago long ago proved that gun control is a stupid idea. This and the Fort Hood shooting just prove that DoD/Base gun regulations are stupid too.

Because it's better to have an oil disaster at sea than on land? Or because you just like higher oil prices?

No one in the entire fucking world gives a fuck what Obama will say from here on out. He fucked up by threatening to invade, then he fucked up by not doing something to back up his threat. Finally, he (or rather Kerry) fucked up by giving Putin an opening that made Russia look good and the USA...

Sure it was

It'll suck or end up as vaporware if Brad's completely in charge. It all depends on whether he gets a yes-man Producer, or someone who can hold his feet to the fire. @Utnayan - nobody wants the true full metal jacket hardcore MMO. Thus the repeated comments on soloability in this thread...

Slows content consumption which is a good thing. OTOH, it's only acceptable if there's some horizontal progression available through current content - all progression can't be blocked.

As always, good to see you buy into Democrat scapegoating. Until people like you wake up and or look up (unlikely) we're doomed to continue with the same corrupt system.

Was watching this today and remembered this thread. This is where all you pro-death, pro-suicide people are heading:

Argo was a good movie, but shouldn't have won Best Picture. Life of Pi was the significantly better movie. @Khane I ran from Mysty Thicket to Qeynos on my level 2 or 3 Halfling. Doable, but certainly a bit scary.

As if there is a difference between Republican and Democrats these days. Please remind me again, how many Wall Street bankers did Obama's administration prosecute?

@Tuco Bussard ramjet.

Lol. I like seemless as much as the next guy it's more "immersive" and flying mounts are cool. But it takes a lot of money to do seemless well, and again running out of money is what left VG stillborn.

Wrong.

Barring an infusion of 100,000,000 into Brad's new company by some former-eq playing Billionaire, I couldn't agree less. There's just can't possibly be enough Money via kickstart, SOE backend, or random investor to do a good seemless world. So no to seemless, yes to bringing back zones.

I honestly don't fucking care about question marks or exclamation points as long as the quests are actually interesting. The problem isn't a large yellow "?" it's that quest hub quests are boring. Where 30% are take this message to some guy (FedEx), 40% are kill 10 rats but don't bring...

To Erronius and everyone else. Please don't lump Afghanistan and Iraq together when making arguments. Afghanistan was a justifiable war - if a government is sheltering the guy who orchestrated the death of 3,000+ of your citizens you get to go in with "boots on the ground" as well as...

Yes. Look at Blizzard. To SOE's credit - and what UT keeps forgetting - is that early EQ rolled with the emergent gameplay. Compare that to Blizz which shut down split pulling ASAP in Vanilla WoW. @Quaid - okay I'll agree, Copernicus Art Assets are "stunning" when compared to whatever Brad...

I looked at the video on youtube - it's nice, I don't know about stunning. But who is going to bid on it? It's just a bunch of Art Assets.

Afghanistan was justifiable and any President should have gone in after Osama and 9/11. Iraq wasn't and neither is Syria. Both Presidents sucked/suck in their own way but Obama sucks worse because Bush didn't come in saying he'd change the system and then double-down on making the system even...

Nice BS numbers as it counts as Bush vacation days when Bush had World Leaders visiting his ranch. I note you didn't attempt to compare golf outings. More to the point Obama takes really expensive vacations to Highway that cost $20,000,000 in the middle of a recession when Bush just flew home...

http://www.tentonhammer.com/copernic...auctioned-soon Maybe Brad can pick this up on the cheap. I kid, I kid. ;-)

I don't think he ever discussed his addiction - a la Robert Downey, Jr. That alone has me -_-

Obama was (is) an amazing campaigner. His 2012 campaign is arguably the best run campaign ever (or at least the best run of the modern era - difficult to compare his to Grover Cleveland's). He was unstoppable and indefatigable on the campaign trail, yet in office he just fucking golfs. He's...
