That's really my big thing.... I'm curious how much of their audience really just liked revisiting Norrath in this way and how much of this playstyle of was realized and determined to be enjoyable enough to make the world irrelevant. Honestly, after going through a few places multiple times...

From those who brought you THJ supposedly....

Description Hollowed Oath is a heroic fantasy MMORPG where players take the role of an Oathsworn; a multiclass adventurer who resisted corruption from the Hollow by taking the Oath and binding themselves to the fate of the world known as Orrathis. Players explore a hauntingly beautiful world...

I fear that this will appeal to a very niche market but I could be wrong. I fall within that market. While I enjoy the end game, I'm not in any rush to get there. Just for the sake of comparison, I really enjoy being in Befallen, Unrest, Lower Guk, Seb, etc. I don't mind spending a few weeks...

I believe MMO's will only be fun like we remember it, is if people are willing to discover and prioritize the experience over consumption. I don't think that's the world we live in now. It's all about rushing to the endgame which has been the progression of the MMO state. Its hard to want to...

What was that supposed to do for me? That is definitely a little lacking. Unfortunate.... MnM feels more like EQ than EQ does. :(

Excited we get an open test March 27th. Would still love to see a Beta Key come through but nevertheless.... glad folks seem to be having a good experience thus far for those I've spoken to anyway.

Didn't several of the development team, some of the core developers, come out in interviews and/or social media posts? If so, did they come out for either side or are they just attempting to defend themselves? Curious how many people actually had a thought of what was going on?

Fully expect you lucky jerks that got codes to keep us posted! Hopefully to become a lucky jerk next week.... :)

Yikes...

Not that it really matters to me but am I understanding it correctly that some body of investors or board is going to attempt to continue the development of the game? If so, I would consider selling it to someone. I'm not sure how close they are to delivering anything worthwhile but it's...

I think you can go back and forth on these arguments all day and there are probably plenty of examples over the last couple of decades both for and against it. However, I think it ultimately comes down the big picture of the game. Either all the variables work in harmony to create a game that...

If I remember correctly, the Sierra games in the 90's were a husband and wife team. I loved those games. I played the crap out of Quest for Glory 2. I had to hear that about his wife. Hope the game does well.

I think I've asked this before but wasn't sure... have they said much in regard to their end game? With their heavy EQ influence I wasn't sure what direction they would lean.... raid mob in the bottom of a exp dungeon (Sol B, Seb, etc.) or a raid zone (PoF, PoH, etc.) I actually hope they go...

I think that's an easy fix but I also think you can have a little of both. Again, I believe it comes down to what they want to be as a game and if people are going play, there are some things people just have to accept. You can have world bosses, open world spawns, etc but also have instanced...

That's where I worry about this being a subscription based game. I think they need another model or make the sub fairly inexpensive to were people don't care to keep it active. Given their small team and how people consume MMO's one of two things must happen. One, people have to understand...

Stress Test Incoming!! Friday the 13th!

I haven't logged in probably since about 3-4 months after release but a friend of mine went back recently and said they have made some pretty huge strides in the game. Said it reminds him more of D3 than it used to but still not perfect. If nothing else, said it was more fun, simpler, and felt...

Guys.. we need Pantheon to happen… How else will we enjoy MnM in peace?

Could Ashes’ demise really turn it around for Pantheon? lol

EQ2 Naggy server had the best PvP for a while. They kept tinkering, balancing, and listening to whiners and messed it up. It’s still some of my favorite MMO memories.

Bill Trost was on this team correct? He's on their studios website but wasn't sure if that was up to date or not. I haven't heard anything out of him in a bit. Jeff Butler was hanging around THJ and was promoting a game he is working on. Maybe they'll stay away from MnM.... I need it to make...

So reading a lot of comments and not playing in a lot of group situations, I’m assuming they’re attempting to bring back the art of pulling? I’m guessing a core group trinity is in MnM as a foundation for maximizing group success? I’m pretty excited if that’s the case. I played a tank in...

I'm not sure what Runescape did differently than EQ over 25 years but have to give them props. I've never been a Runescape person but just out of curiosity, I checked out this video because it spoke about a Roadmap so I watched it. They seem to be willing to address mistakes, make the right...

Just to go back to the "look and feel" of the world or style... I think their trailer gives a good overview of a lot of landscapes and intentional nods to older MMO's such as EQ.

Its no offense to the boxers out there... my old man boxes two to three on EQ to this day but I hope people will give the community a chance to develop before they just roll up a bot group and chip away at the social aspect of the game. That was the best piece of early EQ in my opinion and...

Have they revealed or tested any of the end game? I can’t remember but did EQ show any of Naggy or Vox in their testing? Only thing I remember in the last phase was some kind of GM event but that’s it. We didn’t really have a lot of developed, raiding guilds at that point I guess…

If the game does not connect with your playerbase... it doesn't matter. There are plenty of incredibly stunning looking games that has not made it. Its not that the graphics don't matter it just has to be a part of the connection. Retro style games have proven that time and time again. If...

I think the charm of the graphics will come down to the connection the game makes with the playerbase. Being a good game covers a multitude of sins. They're not awful by any means and I believe they're trying to create a certain appearance and artistic direction that would feel like a game...

You bring up a great point and a core memory for me… I remember heading to upper guk early in my EQ days and I ran into two guys just chilling outside waiting on to fill their group for Lower Guk. They looked unreal and I was really hooked from that point. I wanted to look like them and go to...

it was mainly quote from a friend I believe trying to differentiate a former EQ player trying to articulate the difference between these MMO’s that are being discussed among a lot of former EQ players. I think what he meant was MnM is more aligned with what EQ “was” and Ashes is a direction...

I'm going be slightly hypocritical since it was brought up... I've always been a person that has really cared less about graphics as I'm a believer in a good game is a good game. Games like Minecraft, Valheim, and a ton of other games mobile and PC a like have proven its more about an artistic...

Sure its dead or at least in a type of coma that really no one expects them to wake up from but its more about the treatment of the IP itself. I think one of the most popular trends in gaming at the moment has been the remastering of older games. Not that those games were dead in fairness but...

Completely understand and I realize that... still its hard not to say it out loud. It really makes you wonder just how much their parent company is interested in actually leveraging their owned IP's to create a profit. I accepted they were just going to suck the life out of the game as they...

I know I’m speaking into the void but why not learn from THJ’s success at least a little and stop looking so much into timing and expansions but rather actually into bringing some creative adjustments to the game? I’d rather they swing for the fence and it go down in flames than rehashing then...

I had completely forgotten about this game… Wasn’t this started by like two people? Good for them and their team. Maybe it will find a niche.

I'm not suggesting anything of that sort... I'm really just sharing a concern about the flow of available, completed games which is really a more exaggerated issue because your more long-term investment games are not so long term any more. Again, this may be a "me" problem but I have many more...

I think you bring up a major point that I'm sure we are all aware of and is my biggest disappointment of all... there is just really nothing to play. Even WoW for our guild just doesn't keep us entertained very long. We get through normal, then heroic, and quit. The unfortunate piece is...
