That's terrible design theory though because you're now forcing yourself into a corner. You still have to deal with server and network capabilities. You still have to deal with over population of content. If a dungeon normally can be done with 5 people, then you open up the space so multiple...

Yes we know that already.

There are different types of games that allow different types of play. When you have a game where characters get more powerful as they level, where characters aren't fully capable until max level; then you will have games that make you level quickly. Fast leveling MMORPGs came from the direct...

First person, for the most part, does not work well in an MMORPG because you can't see yourself. MMOs are social games and full of epeen. You want to show off your latest gear and accomplishment to other people. In Skyrim, you don't give a shit what you look like because, in the end, there is...

lol sean can't read yet is a moderator. Neg tuco for this injustice.

That sounds like you were working for a shady restaurant. That happens a lot though.

Waiting tables is not easy if you work at a restaurant that actually does a lot of business. You work at a diner? Easy and shitty job. Work in fine dining? Less stressful, but requires more knowledge and etiquette. Work at a commercial restaurant like Fridays? Busy and hard as fuck...

If the devs are to be believed, GW2 will be doing WvW only abilities etc in an upcoming update. And culling has improved a lot now. Should probably check it out again.

Rift was a pretty great experiment, with a good dev team, what made WOW successful and what people put up with in WOW but only stuck with it because it was WOW. 1. Quest grinds: No one likes them and people only did it with WOW because it was the only way to do anything. In Rift people PVP...

How much are waiters paid in decent restaurants where there is no tipping?

I think he's just being a realist. Almost everyone here drooling over CRs and how hard it used to be expecting that in EQn are sorely going to be disappointed.

I'm pretty sure rezz is a terrible manager.

Either or. I eat out a lot.

I would never want someone making min wage serving me anything above fast food. Fuck that.

Laura all your points are valid and I answered all of them. In your first post about freedom, you are describing nearly every mud I played. I also have commented about the revolution of 3d.

I gotta agree with swag. Awhile vg did have that open world feel and open dungeon design it was still a quest driven game just with less game features.

I purchased a Milwalkee drill that is amazing last year. It's just fucking great. I also like Porter Cable stuff too.

Yeah new molding. Buy yourself an air compressor and a brad nailer. Shit is aaawesome.

Dude. Look at where we are and we're doing right now ...

Yes I'm comparing both of them mechanically. I already said that EQ's major revolution was bringing a 3D world online in 1998. That is huge. But compare the mechanics of EQ to Sojourn. Combat for both was based off of autoattack and casting skills and or spells when they were off-cooldown...

There are usually four types of arguments always made in this debate. The first type of person is cheap and typically a grumpy neckbeard that starts off pissed off they have to pay YOU to do your job when the company should. These people usually evolved into the type of person who leaves...

Exactly! Which is why I find it amusing when EQ people do that to WOW people. I do the same retarded shit but just one incpetion layer lower. To the rest of your point, I agree and that's a big thing that I lay at EQ's feet. They brought that genre of that style of gameplay to the forefront...

3D graphics was a huge leap, don't get me wrong. But as far as gameplay, how was EQ better than some MUDs in the terms I listed? It was an evolutionary leap when it came to movement and mob placement, sure. But the majority of it was almost the same. I remember transitioning between...

I don't remember if you ever mentioned it before, but did you play MUDs. If you did, did you play any of the bigger ones? The reason I ask, and I'm reiterating this, is because a lot of the charm and the accomplishments you are giving to EQ were already put into games prior to EQ. It's the...

I think you're giving them too much credit is some aspects. I was an online gaming geek back in the 90s (I'm 32). I played Bards Tale as a kid. Then in '92 I found Shadows of Yserbius which had the same graphics Bards Tale but online! It was pretty cool but charged hourly and was super...

Well here's something I was gonna post the other day, but I forgot. If you take WOW pre-cata, remove most quests and leave the more interesting or involved quests (Like Onyxia key chain, dungeon exploration quests or legenary/epic quest lines or whatever) but take away the !'s and ?'s from...

Yeah true. I mispoke, I probably meant something else. MUDs were doing that for years. Need more coffee.

You really don't want to start a discussion where we discuss accidently discovering gravity vs. EQ accidently allowing groups of mobs to split up because of Feign Death do we? Absurd comparison. WOW sucking and EQ being better is completely subjective and has nothing to do with what I wrote.

Sweet, I sense a tipping derail (first on Rerolled) where neckbeards come out of the woodwork and get all huffed up by having to tip at a restaurant. You anti social fucks. Stay home.

I just find fault with any statement that says EQ was brilliantly designed. The majority of the content and content style was all based on DIKU muds. The majority of the freedom people love to claim EQ had (trains, pulling, splitting, FD, and whatever) were all mistakes and bugs that the...

Now that post was pretentious. Splitting pulls is emergent? Oh man.

Eq is no more a sandbox than wow meaning neither is a sandbox. Just because you weren't told to xp in a certain spot by a quest doesn't make it freedom.

Harfle you're turning into quite the MMO slut these days.

Dude, don't make me call you up on skype and yell at you for downloading VG.

That's a pretty awesome online price too. I was looking at some DeWalts.

When I leveled my Cleric to 50 right around SL launch, you never need help from another toon except for someone to give you bags. You get enough planarite currency to buy gear at every tier.

Anyone have a recommendation for a brand/model for a compound miter saw? About to start doing crown molding and I want to buy and not rent.

I think they nerfed the warfront thing.

Almost every EQ thread devolves into armchair circlejerks. I don't think half this shit will actually be in the game. This conversation is just wishful thinking for the most part until anything real comes out.

If I were a betting man they are doing mostly what UO and SWG did. Build anywhere within small restrictions. Buildings are made via tile pieces. You can make them shops or whatever that are run by NPCs. Pie in the sky is more of an amazing editor where you can click and drag your mouse...
