I think the potential for all AAA MMOs in the future is large. The potential space for a really good game (yeah, yeah "done right") is just waiting for someone to take it. If you take the aspects of WOW (philosophies, not features) and use those to create a game you have a much large potential...

First your posts are hard to edit to quote properly, you hit enter way, way to many times! Stop! I"d like to add that assuming good art, animations, gameplay, setting etc, all those mechanics, lets say they"re good, you need that "something" that makes a player want to get that next level...

You"re forgetting of course that they have Blackguard, and that changeseverything. Anyway, they havn"t been hyping anything up at all. We don"t even know the name of the game. What they HAVE been hyping, and I wouldn"t even call it that, so let me rephrase. What Curt has been excited about is...

You guys should of easily picked up from this thread how 38S plans to establish their IP.

I think he was joking.

One and done. If you don"t wow me (no pun intended) in the first days, hours of me playing I"ll never come back for more an extended period of time. I"ve resubbed twice after my original purchase to EQ2 to check things out, but I never played more than a few weeks, if that, after resubbing...

I never walked out at the end of a big movie until Matrix 3 and said to myself, "I just got cheated out of some money."

I wonder where Blackguard got it from.

38S is just not creating a MMO they are creating a franchise. Will be very interesting to follow.

That"s great and all Curt, but really: Favre vs. Ripken?

Who wins in a fight? Brett Favre or Cal Ripken?

Really??

Best quote from the article:

So play on a PVP server, kill the farmers in between spawns. That could be fun.

I agree that gameplay trumps graphics. That should be a given. However, I think animations and gameplay go hand in hand. If you have poor animation, your game won"t do as well, no matter how the game plays.

So you"re advocating a skill advancement system that is open ended. And combat system where you string combo"s together based on enemy weakness?

I disagree with a lot of classes. Keep the number low. Not Mage, Cleric, Rogue, Warrior low. But 8 is a good number, anything over 10 is too many. The reasoning behind this is balance and itemization. I also disagree with the FFXI varying class system. Or at least done differently. Something...

Flight why do you hit enter so many times in your post? Each paragraph and quote has 1-2 extra empty lines surrounding it. However, I agree with the loot system.

Sounds like a good idea.

Didn"t VG run entirely on the Unreal engine with not backbone support? Also didn"t it use v2.5 and 38S is using 3.0?

And it was a pretty bad one too.

You know what sucks about this? I"m a little excited that the game is moving on, however I"ll be over 30 before this game comes out.

He"s awesome at it too. Here"s his computer, I snuck into his office and grabbed a picture. Fucking carebear.

Can I punch Lenardo in the face please?

There are plenty of gaming QA folks out there. I just think the population of experienced MMO QA folks is rather limited, only because the genre is still very young and limited in population (of games).

Did you just say k-rad?

I wish I could be young again and be able to afford to work as a slave with slave wages because it could be fun to work on video games.

Networking stuff.

F13 has somewhat intelligent discussion about the genre.

I think they finally decided to scrap the graphics and just make a really cool MUD. Won"t have to pay those pesky artists.

They"ve been searching for an engine for a while, and I believe it"s been mentioned he has it down to 2-3 choices now.

He"s buying an engine, and he"s in that process now.

38 Studios reveals: Copernicus - Massively However I believe it"s just a codename. f13.net forums - Schilling"s Green Monster Games

We should baseline here. When you say twink, what kind of releative power to level are you talking about? Do you have equipment meant for twice your level? 3x or 4x? or 1.5x? If you have 150% of your levels power I would think it to be a big deal, but 2 or 4 times the amount? You"re now...

If you"re leveling up as a new person and you"re in a place where there are 10 mobs to kill for experience. You can kill 1 every 2 minutes. As you kill one Mr Twink comes along and kills 9 in 2 minutes. Now it affects the new person since you have to compete with that person for spawns, quest...

It"s not the class system, it"s just an alt system. I personally hate the dual (primary/secondary) class system.

I love the idea of BOP/BOE. It cuts down on mudflation and economic inflation or deflation. If you use WOW as an example, there should be more BOE than BOP items from dungeons. Tier set pieces should be BOP a long with Raid Final Boss drops the rest, mostly BOE. I would like to be able to bid on...

I have no opinion on boxing. It"s not fun to me, but to others it is. It doesn"t kill my gameplay. It doesn"t give you an unfair advantage. I can easily access every dungeon just like you. It just takes longer for you and if you can put up with the hassle, good for you. No need to kill that kind...

It"s a good idea, but it"s hard to balance.
