This is a very valid option. Let's expand it a bit further. Most mobs especially later would make the horse unmanageable and it basically throws you if you don't quickly dismount. If you dismount, you can't just tend to the horse and fight mobs. So the horse will run away. If thrown, you take...

Great post! PvP should add an element of danger and test your skills. Nothing tests the skills of a high level character who camps lowbies. There is no sense of danger to either party since everyone knows the conclusion in short order.

I like Ponytail too. He really does love his job and therefore these projects. I'm glad he will be working on EQN for the next few years and can't wait to see what he finally pulls off. This is by far the most ambitious game coming out and it's about time someone had the resources and fortitude...

I'm disappointed a bit too but it's their primary franchise. I guess there's only so much they are willing to experiment on. The draw of EQ to add a few more subs. Or they could just be very proud of the direction and think EQ is the only name that will do it justice? I honestly doubt that but...

Lol, while that was a fun part of EQ, I don't think it's coming back.

That was in 2004. This is 2014 and the game will release in 2016 probably. I think the unity engine can produce better tricks than vanilla WoW. I get your point but I don't want anything resembling old EQ from the tech front.

I can't believe I'm hearing any support for technological problems from 15 years ago. Seamless please. Zones...really?! In 2014? Is this serious? If Brad's team couldn't handle making this game without the old EQ type zones...then he needs to find some real talent.

I agree as well with the leashing. I'd like to change up the big AoEs. I know the reasoning for big red circles and it adds to Boss fight variety, changes up fights, etc but I've always found them kind of dumb. My big spell/ability works only in this red circle right here! Or these here! If an...

Good post. I agree. I loved WoW in the beginning when it was closer to EQ. I still have a friend who plays just because of all theworkhe's put into it. I find it sad. It's only a game and there will always be more things to add to that game. Perfect game for hoarders though.

I don't like the thought of automaton at all and I find it sad that some people don't want to do anything but sit in one spot the whole time. Immersion, yeah right. Your system sounds like a modern attempt at Dragon's Lair from the early 80s. Look on the screen for your prompt, do what prompt...

Storybricks is one of the reasons I'm excited about this game. The lack of levels and other forward thinking ideas are the rest of them. To see a developer try or talk about changing the equation is really a breath of fresh air. While Wildstar is trying to make the next WoW, RotP is trying to...

I like the Jack Vance option personally. Encourages and enables real choice which is always good.

Brad, I want at least 40 and I've got my controller ready.

Yeah, in the raiding scene I agree. I like that idea for guild flagging. I noticed a few people didn't like anything to hinder their leveling or force certain reqs for leveling but I'm a proponent for that kind of flagged content. Change up the tired old grind with a little variety.

Same old and tired statement like Sega Vs Nintendo, etc. You don't like what I like, you look different, etc,etc, etc so you must suck. The stupidity of humanity but it is what it is. This is a good game for people who want a lot of what WoW offers but want something a bit fresher. Nothing wrong...

Aradune, What are your thoughts about player growth besides just leveling and the acquisitions? Is the leveling going to be flatter so that content isn't leveled past so easily? Is item acquisition a huge part of player growth where it becomes a gear and leveling race to endgame? AAs did help...

The LOTRO system could give very minor improvements that aren't worth the trouble to min/max. I prefer that system to just finding a piece of loot that is Spider's bane. Your examples make the game even more loot based which causes it's own problems in environments. While I do want some weapons...

Lol, wish I could + you.

Tad, I'm not expecting a ton of change from Brad but I do see some changes coming and I'm excited for them. I loved EQ but 15 years later, I'd like to see what Brad can improve and there are improvements needed. Same with VG. We expect Brad to grow and learn from his mistakes. This is where...

Etchazz, usually I don't talk with you because you make moronic posts like this but why not today? Of course comparing one form of entertainment that just primarily uses your eyes to games is so very similar. In fact, why don't you respond with just your eyes since you could be using a tablet...

Good post but I'm looking for advancement of the genre. I don't expect Brad to do too much of this considering the funding options but I think it's way past time to see some real growth. As Draegan mentioned, there really hasn't been any progression from WoW. There were the early years, the EQ...

Good post Dmitry! With other options on the horizon, these issues and several others(boring leveling and very generic feeling game), I will pick other options to waste my money.

Tad, Who exactly has tried to best levels as a progression metric? Give me some good examples. Your reasoning for levels were awful as well. *A sense of progression? Doesn't killing harder mobs do the same thing? Getting better gear, doing better things, learning your skill, etc? You just...

I hate the exclamation points but the old system sucked as well. If a NPC needs something accomplished, why aren't they trying to get people to do it? I think there should be wanted posters, maybe a NPC who hovers around your trainer needing your specific skillset, or even a guy hawking his...

Lol, good point.

Popsicle strikes again! Awesome post and I LoL'ed. Exactly what I was thinking as I read further into the thread of what Brad needs to do to ensure the continued support of this fine, fine site. If I see a game without corpse runs, and classes that aren't extremely limited in their scope and...

Exactly. I knew several fanbois who didn't even know much about the Xbox One...and still preordered it immediately. I still think PS4 will win 'the war' but both systems will have solid success. This isn't the Wii U we are discussing here.

Brad, Glad to see you back. I'm also glad this is a small project. You will focus on the little things that can make this game fun to play. No need for higher end computers, massive quest chains, voice-overs, and all the fluff that is common for this genre. Just a good looking game that...

Damn right! I'd love to see OSU play some good teams at some point but that's why Meyer jumped aboard isn't it? Miraculously healed his injured pussy when he could slide into a pie job? Off topic but be honest with me. You're happy as hell that Landry Jones is gone aren't you? That worthless...

At home laughing my ass off. I admit I thought they had very little chance because big Bob left the building ages ago, but they played a hell of a game. SEC was weak this year. They have off years like everyone. They just don't get called for it anymore. Hate 'Bama and glad to see other teams...

Ugh. Big game Bob fortunately hasn't been seen in years. I prefer weak 'Bama team who finally met a team that actually knew how to stop an average QB. Call it pressure if you want.

Patsy schedule all year long where powerhouses like VT and WVU(next year) are the competition outside of the SEC. Playoffs will help shatter the SEC image next year. That and Auburn getting their asses kicked by FSU.

This sounds like the best options to get a real source of funding. You don't want to over promise and you want easily obtainable rewards that truly cost you nothing. These are goals that have already worked as a source of funds. No need to reinvent the wheel on funding when you need to focus on...

It is hard to make comparisons I agree. FF is on the way down and several missteps over the years for Square only increased this fall. Square was constantly changing the series with less than stellar results as time progressed.Top 10 in Sales - Final Fantasy - VGChartz. Follow that with a very...

Exactly. WoW was at one time a fantastic game. This does a few things a little different and is really well made just like WoW. It just doesn't do anything much differently than WoW. Will that be enough for WoW diehards to switch games with all the previous time invested? Hard to say but anyone...

While somewhat true, Star Wars has a lot of games and not all of them are considered strong showings for the franchise. The TES franchise has never really had a spin off and their games have increased in popularity with new releases. TESO has a strong chance of solid sales just based off prior...

I thought those videos were pretty good especially the ones Fedor shared. I especially liked the music and the feel of first person in a couple of them. It would be really nice to see Brad give us a real first person MMO once again. The other perspectives really reduce the immersion significantly.

It's a 15 year old game. If you truly thought that they would put anything other than limited resources into it after playing EQ, or Vanguard...then I don't know what to say. Nobody will or would do that. On to other topics, they want to allow people to create their own games from EQNL. That...

It's also a double sided road with developers coming on these forums. I remember quite a bit of Shilling dick sucking while valid questions and comments were shoved aside to 'allow the developers' to spread their vision to the unwashed masses.
