    They are in CO already, so they are expanding. Wouldn't be shocked if they get to east coast soon.

    That's a disappointing response for the Most Popular Christian Betting Site on the internet.

    Health Problems

    That's reasonable then. Just going to really suck for you if you don't check out at 50, though. Being an unhealthy 80 year old who has to use a walker to move and can't breathe without an O2 tank and has had serious issues the past 30 years isn't something I would wish on my enemies.

    I would be more amused if it had Alleria too, and they argued or lezzed out all the time.

    Health is a long term thing. When, not if, it catches up to you, you'll understand why people tried to warn you. Good luck.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    They won't be putting out content like EQ or WOW ever did at any point in their existence. Instancing is one of the few ways they would be able to extend the reach and utility of what little content they can squeak out. But that would require thinking about the game as a product for actual...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    If there are better ways to get rid of soft pvp and allow everyone to take part in the game, I would love to see them. Adding instances doesn't regulate anything other than making the content accessible. You can make a grindy as fuck game while having instances. FFXIV top tier raiding is like...

    Makes sense, but also makes you a very obvious target for copyright infringement if you don't get a license. Art assets are the easiest thing to prove infringement on. Pixels don't lie.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    The vast majority of players are carebears. Always been that way. That's why you have to keep that in mind when designing any MMO. If you don't, they aren't going to stay and pay. If there were enough PVP players to support a game, then there would be MMOs that succeeded that way. EVE is the...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Yup. And instancing is how you end that degenerate behavior on PVE servers as well. You can never give players the power to hurt another player's game. It will be misused and abused every single time.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I don't pug, but outside of trade chat or pok/baz channels were mostly silent even in POP. EQ communication channels require you to be logged in, and are temporary. Discord lasts, and you can talk when not playing. It's just superior. I do talk to guildies in games when they are on, but beyond...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I disagree. The EQ guilds I am in, and the Pantheon guilds, all use Discord to keep in touch rather than using in game channels. The only active guild I am in for WOW is the FOH board guild, so, yeah.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Interaction died because discord and other superior ways to keep in touch with people that weren't limited to a specific game came about. That left only negative interactions like spawn camping, training, and other soft pvp trash that people do not want. If you can find a better fix than...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Instances are not a 'make successful' line item, but not having them is an absolute 'make unsuccessful' line item. One of the only reasons EQ is still around is because they added instances into the game. Instances serve to get rid of spawn camping, which is the underlying issue that kills...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    In the real world whether it sells well determines its longevity. I'm not going to put time and effort into something that is going to get shut down in just a couple years or a couple months. And lack of instancing guarantees a game is going to be shit. Having 1-2 guilds monopolizing everything...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I have no opinion on whether it's a good game or not. It could be absolute baller, but if they are going to repeat well known game killing core design mistakes, it will fail just like the rest. Some of those were pretty awesome too. Instancing is one of the few must haves for any MMO. That's not...

    It will definitely kill off EA pretty quickly. A few dozen poopsockers might hang around that long, but it's going to be just like Pantheon at this point, so 2-3 months in and then there won't be any need to worry about instances anymore.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Instancing is currently the only known method to prevent this from happening. Unless you 100% randomize spawns and/or loot high level guilds will dominate every last camp just to prevent people from coming up behind them. That happened in EQ, and in every single MMO since then that hasn't...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Instancing is currently the most feasible way to prevent soft PVP ie spawn camping. It is a core element of how the end game functions, or won't in this case. Forcing people to compete for camps and rare spawns will absolutely tank your game. So what are they planning to do to prevent this?
