No. You're forced to do every quest whether you want to or not. Current Paradign - Listening to Radio Station Do all the quests in order, whether you like the quests or not (listen to all the music selected by someone else, no choice - but presumably you like some of the music since you...

There's a huge difference: you only do the stories you want to do and the stories are nonlinear and based on your style of play. If all you want to do is grind mobs you can do that. You're not being forced to go down any particular path or complete a story in a particular way. If you decide...

It works fine. Storybricks are limited: beginning, middle, end. So lancelot roleplayer kidnaps a willing Guinevere gets pursued, fight ensues and story ends one way or another. Ends with faction hit in King's kingdom generally but positive faction with Queen/Queen's Guards or whatever. Queen...

I have seen the light Kreugen, you're right. Probably better that you don't watch the whole video: StoryBricks guy is very smart but longwinded. Unless you like RPGs then watch away. http://youtu.be/OMbOkJRHhfU I finally get storybricks after this video. -key points after 31 min and...

They're not going for niche. EQN will be on PS4 and will be FTP (hopefully with somekind of gold membership for those of us who hate FTP). It seems like SOE thinks it has the (note the use of the definite article here) WoW-killer thus the secrecy and the 1 year max from reveal to release...

Cuba is a rathole but if you want to go off the grid Venezuela and Ecuador aren't bad choices - you just have to get out of the big cities (Caracas highest murder rate in the world these days, IIRC, and Guayaquil is also very, very dangerous) and head to the Andean regions. Lots of places w/o...

Itzena doesn't know what he's talking about. If EQN has open-world PvP it is "EVE-like" with security zones not FFA PvP everywhere.

Too bad Venezuela is going down the toilet - many a hot girl and nice beach there and the Andean region is stunningly beautiful. If Chavez and co. hadn't destroyed the economy would have been an awesome place to live in exile. Much better than Cuba or Ecuador.

To be perfectly honest Dumar, this example from UO isn't the correct way to do things either. Since you're basically roleplaying a serial killer in the above example - you should have been treated as such by the game: pursued by police entities/UO equivalent of Sherlock Holmes until you were...

Also a_skeleton_03, you really need to look up the term 'datamining' - the NSA can't datamine the data if it isn't stored. The whole point of these operations isn't to listen to the data as it is being recorded, it's to datamine the pile of data after its been stored. I know I may only be in...

Good to see another NSA shill. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57...calls-e-mails/ http://gizmodo.com/the-nsa-can-affor...e-ca-513693317 http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/0...f-us-citizens/ Yes, this shit is happening and has been going on full blast since 2007. Metadata for every...

Secret reveal to MMORPG, Tentonhammer, Curse and presumably the media (PCGamer, etc) MMORPG and TTH gave it best of show which was a cock tease with feathers.

New thread: The SOE Live Live thread (starting on August 1st) - this thread should be locked for posterity at that point so all our insane and wrong ramblings can be immortalized.

Because the NSA nees a confirmed 5 Zettabytes of data storage for porn? amirite? Edit: I say confirmed because of the cite above, other sources suggest several Yottabytes of storage.

You and Tuco are the ones defending the US, I suggest you offer evidence that (1) these programs dont' violate the Fourth Amendemtn (2) they are not turning us into a police state. But since you insist: http://thehill.com/homenews/news/303...-on-since-2007...

I think this is the biggest bullshit argumen out there being used by the US to defend the programs 'you don't know, so you have to trust the government.' The government has done nothing to earn our trust, and everything to make us distrust them. Which reminds me that the most effective use...

You're absolutely right. The NSA has been bugging all our phones since 2007, has been keeping all the info in storage indefinitely since 2012 (if not before) what's a little more info and emails from Facebook, Google, MS and Apple? My mistake -_-

Boston. I'll aslo add that if it takes a police state to stop terrorism then the terrorist have won. Also looks like Snowden has gone retarded and is going to Venezuela/Cuba via Russia instead of Iceland.

I understand that you're ready to welcome in the police state with open arms. If Snowden had stayed here he'd have been locked up and never heard from again, he did us a service, "eveyone" understood back in 1990 that the NSA was using Echelon or wtf and listening in on phone calls but only...

Eh. I don't know about that. I really don't like auction houses or trade channels. The best trading method is where you can setup NPCs as shopkeepers for you in a bazaar area. Though there should be multiple bazaar areas per continent. What AH's and trade channel prevent is trading as an...

I'm not advocating questing to level - but it's not the hub-based questing that's the problem, it's the how it's implemented. Instead of EQ style where the head/quest object/etc dropped from the mob when you killed it, whether you had the quest or not, WoW-style questing required you to have...

@Dumar. Nothing wrong with flying mounts or quick travel as long as they're earned and not immediately or instantly available. Flying mount quest in VG was the biggest PITA but worth it when you finally got it. Same with quick travel, should be slow travel at start, then mounted travel, then...

Confirmed NSA plant. It is well documented that in the past ten years Public Sector salaries have outstripped Private Sector salaries particularly at the 100k+ higher end. Government jobs have better benefits, much better security and pay better. If you really want to get annoyed compare...

Chaos is a shill for the NSA. Every semi-popular US bbs has one. Quick... Trace his IP.

I like the heart.

Pefect example of title of thread. Transgender is hardly 'marginalized' today as Gabe would have it. Twenty years ago? Sure. Nowdays, nope. If you're a white male pre-op 10/11 year old transgender in 4th grade you're a popstar in today's public schools. If you're a white male in 4th grade...

I'm pretty sure you're a paid troll for Blizzard now. Classy.

Quoted before but might as well quote again since we're 200+ pages in/ I'm pretty sure we get seasons and weather beyond that ... ;-) http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10...d-soes-future/

Who knows what Smed considers to be a sandbox?

It was terrible in the newbie zones. Particularly the popular ones like Tanvu. I could deal with it, but a lot of people couldn't and ragequit at like level 4 or level 5.

Somehow I missed. This.

VG sold 200,000 copies at release (whatever 'release' means) - there's a couple of sources for this just google Vanguard 200,000 - presumbly it sold some amount after release and before FTP but I'd be shocked if that was 10% of the original. Anyway, 200,000 is a lot - the first week of...

They were both pretty awful - but the 2D one was awful and tragic given that it had a decent premise (gang ends up in flatland) that was mangled. As for what happened to Futurama? IN order of least important to most -It got political - weird random leftist bs mostly from Verrone in the...

I can deal with some instancing/summoning/etc for the odd boss as long as the majority of bosses/raids/dungeons are non-instanced. /derail Also you're name drives me nuts, I always read it as Mr. Creedy (V for Vendetta).

Well it's supposed to be the , "largest sandbox ever" and etc. So we'll see. I'm well aware there will be some instancing in EQN - I don't have a problem if it is used for an initial newbie intro area, class quests or other limited usage. What I don't want - is dungeon instances a la WoW &...

So you agree EQNext is OOH?

I hate instanced dungeons but will admit that for certain specific things they work okay - such as LOTRO's class quest instances. I'll note that non-instanced dungeons can have triggered events (c.f. Vanguard) so instancing is not a requirement for scripted events. Generally though I don't...

Did you camp it on the last progression server?
