I take it back. It's going to be an eternity to August 2nd. Can we keep the drama on simmer until the actual reveal?

It's going to be a long 23 days to August 2nd.

I quite liked the Battlestar Galactica reboot.

Yes he was a 'random' guy totally not trying to exercise his right to protest DC gun laws, and this was a totally above board raid. /sarc

Games Workshop is calling Blizzard. The want all their IPs back.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/...y.html?hpid=z2 What happens when you try to assert your Second Amendment rights. Heil Holder!

End of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. If you haven't seen the movie it might help to know that the boom sound is an asteroid or two hitting the earth and the bright light at the end is from the resultant firestorm.

I can't imagine them shipping without gnomes and halflings.

Vanguard had colored tiers - that never bothered me. What bothered me was that there was too much loot available (a la WoW).

Needs more Keith Parkinson. RIP. http://www.keithparkinson.com/images/eq.jpg

I didn't want to say anything but yes Dumar you need to vote with your wallet. I didn't bother buying TBC after they kept fucking up Vanilla.

Butler was the co-designer of EQ and Vanguard, note the 2010 rehire date. Presumably he was brought back just for EQ Next. So I'm going to guess no. Georgeson is the head budget guy and the guy who talks to large audiences, Butler is the creative director, so Georgeson probably gets a veto...

Hold the hysterics until August for fuck's sake. Wait until the gameplay reveal.

No this guy is in chargehttp://www.linkedin.com/pub/jeffrey-butler/5/4a8/874

She'll be unlocked soon. At 93%

Just admit it buddy, you're fapping for EQN right now. You think it's the WoW you always wanted.

Simmer down tiger. It's box art.

I don't mind the art. All that matters is gameplay. We'll see in August.

Story driven MMOs are not the future of MMORPGs. See SWTOR. Those are MMOFPS or some shit that I don't care about.

Nah. They're leaving for non-MMOs: MOBAs, console games, etc. Or non-MMORPG MMOs like World of Tanks. I should have specified that I meant MMORPGs. Mea culpa. I think FTP cuts the heart out of RPGing, takes out the world and slams in a game. I've played years of sub games (including 4 to...

Better question. When the next 9/11-level bomb/attack/wtf happens, as it will, will a_skeleton_03, chaos and co. still feel the illegal activities were justified, despite the fact it failed to stop the aforementioned bomb/attack/wtf?

No way. WoW subs are 8.x million and falling and that was the most popular MMO ever (barring some China only game noone outside of there ever heard of). If anything MMO gamers are a dying breed. Many moved on to MOBAs others to other things. I know a number of WoW players who having left...

Yes. I'm as big a fan of original Beta 4 to APW-release Vanguard as anyone, but for every Karrus Hakrel there was a Greystone. Generally, I felt Thestra was the worst of the three continents. Anyway, EQN will be like that - there's a mix of talents making the game so even if somethings are...

There is not an infinite supply of MMO players.

Because people stop buying the old and busted.

Yet all their games suck - I'm curious where they'll be in a few years. I expect a huge shakeout in the industry, and soon.

People will pay for entertainment. Make the game free to check out and level to 20 or 30 and leave it at that. If it's good, and you spend a little bit on marketing people will pay. WoW didn't make its billions being a FTP game. FTP is what's killing MMOs.

Not until you untrojan your computer

Since we're on the subject. I'm not convinced FTP is a long-term solution to anything. I think its working okay now, but ultimately you have to mudflate items in the cash shops and make the game PTW which leads to players leaving. I know Smed & co. saw population and cash spikes when...

Just proves there are a lot of sheep in the US.

Speaking of cashs shops, that's something I'd pay for - the ability to toggle off other player's terrible taste in clothes and/or pets/mounts.

You are missing pay-to-open race/class restrictions. Already mentioned shared bank slots (distinct from bank slots in the EQ universe). I'm still against P2W. I'm fine with P2P. Release a FTP game where if you're not a gold $15/mth memeber you have to pay to unlock raid content in addtion...

And people like you are why we can't have nice things. Your tax money, and my tax money goes to the government where our elected representatives appropriate that money to building a highway. The internet was 99% funded by private enterprise, sure DARPA did some initial funding but that's...

Not old. Reposted from earlier in thread. I thought everyone had already compared these to the old videos and noted the similiarities.

Cosmetic items: mounts (replacement for same-speed mount in game), cosmetic gear, pets (non-combat), housing items. Shared bank slots. Additional bag slots. Additonal character slots per account. XP Pots - after first 3 years or so and the pop curve is at the high-end. If EQN is...

Prepare to cry. There will be achievements galore in EQN.

So you agree XP Pots are PTW. Yes, I surely am serious. Also ignoring the eyesores, the other issue is development resources. Which is more vital? Devoloping an appearance system or developing a crafting system? Given that Georgeson & Smed will promise 200+ things for EQN of which only...

This was the smart move. It's a game. Part of the game is leveling. So yes, on the "it's not rocket surgery, no one is going to die or explode" level it's all fucking pointless anyway compared to dying children in Africa and planes exploding in SFO and we all know in ten years we'll all...

Beyond the aesthetics, there's something to be said about knowing what the other guy is wearing/using.
