    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

    I always like and appreciated the direction of the books. I felt like the readers had an opportunity to "grow up" with the characters. They were dealing with issues that everyone deals with as they grow up in addition to the fact an incredible evil force was attempting to destroy everything...

    Everquest II

    I don't know why I always hope this game gets something that would actually bring me back but it never quite does. I'm sucker for this game too but they have never addressed the core issues of the game and that's frustrating. Still the best AH and housing in any MMO. I liked tradeskilling...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is probably over-generalizing but honestly don't think this is the best thing for WoW. MMO's have shown that not just anyone can make or understand them. Suits and big money people focus on the wrong aspects of the game. Typically the best MMO's have been driven by folks working on...

    Eternals (2021)

    I just finished it and really liked it. I see the complaints and honestly believe it should have been shorter or something to help with pacing. It felt like it should have been bigger but wasn't. It simply just isn't as good as other Marvel movies and that's ok. It just unfortunate it didn't...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I think this is 100% spot on. It's really what the roots of the genre was founded upon. It took that D&D fellowship and sense of adventure and brought it to life. Stories that were in the player's hands and evolved as players made decisions. The personalities of the NPCs were not the focus...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    That's extremely helpful. I think that's what initially attracted me to GW2 was what appeared to be the ease of getting into. I just can't see what our core friend group, which is our WoW guild, would really get into the easiest. We have probably two groups, semi-casual but lean towards the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Just curious but friends looking to kick around on a MMO for the new year and how would you compare Guild Wars 2 vs Elder Scrolls? Not sure who has the better thing for them into the new year but I've heard good things about both recently. Amazing how many MMO nomads we have with the...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Some friends and I recently spun up a new server with Valheim plus to scratch an itch and then saw this posted.... I don't put a lot of stock into PC Gamer but good for them all the same. Game of the Year - Valheim I hope they are able to get some updates out soon as I really enjoyed this...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    Just finished up and loved it! I thought every actor gave their best performance. I thought Dafoe for the amount of screen time was extremely good. Nearly felt like a Joker-esque performance. Looking forward to the payoffs from this film. Nothing felt forced which was my fear. Fairly well...

    What kills multiplayer games

    For me its the lack of the new for the "Massive" aspect of MMO. You have different goals now than back in the day of EQ so the desire to explore, dungeon crawl, etc. has somewhat shifted to other desires. I feel like every MMO is essentially no different than Diablo. I know a handful of...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    How has the new expansion been thus far? I haven't heard much other than it was a fairly short which seems to be the case with all of their recent expansions. Not sure there was any reason to expect much but was curious.

    Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)

    I have enjoyed the series but just feel it has been a lot of missed opportunities. There is a lot of good stuff but is also filled has numerous frustrating pieces to each film. I felt very similar to the Hobbit movies but I think Peter Jackson did a worse job avoiding stupid decisions that...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I've always really enjoyed classic as well. While I didn't like the idea of instancing at first, it's a nice QoL since it's not like a group gets their own private instance with all the camps, I personally really enjoy splitting camps and seeing groups roll through dungeons. That is one thing...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I purchased the Orbi mesh system about a year ago and have really enjoyed it but my parents are not quite looking to spend the money I did but when you look at the mid range systems, it’s about 50-50 on the reviews.. Dad still plays MMOs and Mom just a casual browser but the have a rather long...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Anyone have a guild recommendation on a live server? Semi-casual but looking to hang with some folks and potentially try the new expansion? Any thoughts on the new expansion? I’ve been doing TLPs so I haven’t even looked at their last probably 5 expansions…. Maybe more.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    Me and couple of RL friends looking to knock around on Live. Outside of some TLP's, I haven't played Live in a really... really. long time. Might be fun to kick around with the boost and leading up to the expansion. I've always played a Cleric and Enchanter, I would like something rather low...

    New Amazon/Daybreak MMO

    I wouldn't be upset if the EQ IP went somewhere else whatever the agreement may be but from what I'm seeing or reading at this point is that Amazon is making a new MMO with people that have experienced with the Daybreak franchises. Looks more like an advertisement angle than actually anything...

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I have never liked LDON. To me that's when thing slowly went to down hill and then the game jumped off the cliff around OoW.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    PoP is my favorite expansion actually.... not sure if that' a popular or unpopular opinion anymore but that's actually a plus for me.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    With FF14 delayed and our WoW guild taking a break until further notice, i’m thinking about playing EQ for the next couple months to just kick around but have no idea where to even begin. The most fun I had since release was raiding with Faceless on Agnarr but assuming Agnarr is a ghost town...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, I don't think this helps and it will just assist in the continuing of the game's decline but I'm not think this causes any type of mass exodus. I'm sure it doesn't help and may push a few folks on the fence but they're already riding a negative trend. Our guild essentially said they...

    New World

    I feel like New World is still suffering from an identity crisis. WAR and Rift suffered from this as well. I worry that ultimately New World will suffer a similar fate it's just the MMO community has greater opportunity to be exposed to games earlier and more platforms to be more vocal...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Probably not as much as I feel. 7 just gets the fanboy talk so much. Then you get 6, 4, 10, and then all the complaints of whatever the latest emo boy dress up FF they release. Lol

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Maybe (probably) unpopular opinion... EQ2 had some of the best housing and tradskilling (furniture). Once Nagafen died, leaving my house and everything was the next worst part. Also, FF4 and 6 were my favorites but don't sleep on 9. It was solid. It gets lost in FF conversations.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I've always thought 4 was better than 6. As a kid we got 2 and then 3 for the SNES so FF2(4) was my first. I've always liked 4's characters and story but then 6 added some features and then took the villain character to the next level so I see why people credit it to being the best.

    Black Widow (2020)

    That will be the movies greatest problem. It will probably get buried in the rest of the MCU movies going forward in Phase 5. I'm assuming the payoff will come in Disney+ series which have been hit or miss. I think people will enjoy it upon TV release and you can watch it in its proper...

    Black Widow (2020)

    Movie was much better than expected. I really enjoyed it. Felt a little late but the setting, story, and post-credit scene made it all much more relevant to me. This wasn't prequel heavy but more of a sub-chapter of the freshest part of Marvel in the audience's mind. I thought every...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'd say it's a little of both.... he's probably legitimately frustrated/tired with WoW and that speaks to a lot of people right now. I think people also get tired of griping over the same crap especially from a viewers point of view. There's only so many times I'm going to watch someone...

    Magic: Legends

    Their IP needs to be tied to something better so kudos to them for admitting defeat. It was just now well executed. It should have and could have been better. It also is in a genre of giants too so getting it wrong just won't work long term. I hope to see something of MTG in the future.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I personally feel that FF14 is a superior game overall when you take all things considered yet here I am part of a raiding guild in WoW and I think a lot of that comes from the time people/guilds have invested but also just the ease to get involved in the larger aspects of the game. I believe...

    Dude... why you gotta do that to me? Depending on the WoW update schedule and my commitment to my guild, I very well may take you up on that! Appreciate the invite for sure!!

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    I was a part of the Zaide crew with Agnarr.... man it was fun, probably the most fun I've had in EQ. Even though seeing all of this is so tempting, I just don't think I could ever do it again. Good luck to Zaide and the static poop sockers! May you be showered with GEBs, SMRs, and plane...

    Black Desert

    I played this very little when it came out with a few friends but we quickly went back to whatever we were playing. Kind of at a lull with WoW until 9.1 and Valheim atm. How is this game for a new player? How is the game overall? Any comparisons? Does is play like a Lineage 2 or is it akin...

    New World

    I think it comes down to how information is gained and distributed. Not only was EQ introduced in a more primitive time but the player base obtained and retained knowledge differently than now. You had a lot of table top and retro PC/console gamers that used books, handwritten notes, and...

    New World

    I think I would have been fine if exp pots would been introduced after their first major content update or expansion for a catch up method for new players or rerolling new characters. I just don't like the idea bring these out of the gate. To me that messes with the integrity of the first 30...
