    So wait.. what's all this "teams" talk? I didn't think anything had been announced for teams as of yet?

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I have never really seen the point of essentially automating most of the social processes of MMO's. To me everything they have streamlined has really made the game painfully linear. I may be the minority with some of this but I don't like the idea of standing in one place and waiting for a...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    This is genius... I could not have said this better myself and I have attempted to articulate this point for years on this board. Send this to Brad with all of our names signed to it....

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I really never attributed VG's failures to Brad's inability to make a game. Brad was making bad life decisions that was impacting his ability to even function day to day and you tandem that with working with people like Microsoft, then taking over the game himself, and then SoE, the game never...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    They should sell him the EQMac server, code, and whatever. Throw VG in on the deal. haha Seriously, I think FFXIV gave us a glimpse of the truth and that is people still enjoys many of the concepts that MMO's are supposedly trying to phase out. I cannot believe I never really though about...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    What kind of funding you think he's going need? I wonder if he has any backing whatsoever? Does he have any type of studio or any resources to write paychecks? He mentioned putting together a team but unlike Mark Jacobs he doesn't see to have many resources. This looks pretty similar to the...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Brad actually responded to a few tweets tonight. I received a response myself and he stated that the game will be designed towards a "niche" market. Honestly, I'll probably support the kickstarter. Brad also stated he reads the boards time to time but really has nothing to say. Who knows, he...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Initially I was frustrated with the timing of this update but with consoles coming out this November in addition to my work schedule, this may work out perfect for me.

    EQ Never

    I don't believe it is impossible either but given the current direction of MMO's, their current concept and gameplay really doesn't facilitate that experience. EQ really forced a different generation of gamers to play together. We had not been influenced yet either... Most of us had played...

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    I just think there are so many solid story lines out there for X-Men and they continue to just inject the characters they want into whatever movies they make. I at least was able to enjoy First Class but by all appearances in my opinion, we are seeing more old than new. Don't get me wrong, I...

    Captain America: Winter Soldier

    Samuel Jackson is cool and probably the best route to go when thinking of translating the role to a RL actor (I mean the white guy was Hasselhoff right?) but still, when I think of Nick Fury, I want to see this...

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    I don't know how possible this would be but one thing I have always wanted to to see would be Vanilla EQ with zones only certain zones added. (Since some zones felt irrelevant and fluff.) For example, adding Velks to the Halas region. As I think through expansions, I can recall a handful of...

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    Torrid... good for you bro. P99 the only guys really close to EQMac in terms of content? I understand they are just an expansion or two into the game but was curious if they're plans to bring something classic up to stand in for EQMac?

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    I have never been "in-game" of something that shut down. I watched FFXIV close down and that was actually pretty cool but I agree, this is incredibly sad because it is the last "official" version of the game in existence. There will never be original Freeport, the graphics, gear, etc. EQMac...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    I have heard from several people that Georgeson gets a lot of praise internally at SoE because of his vision with SoEmote. To re-socialze MMO's they simply need to be simplified, with content and itemization be more meaningful. Think of why you grouped. Sure, it was the most efficient way...

    EQMac Shutting down

    Pretty well Smed is trying to cut people's cords and tell them if you are not spending money or at least exposed to our Marketplace we don't want you. We don't care about extending the olive branch we simple want and need to make money. Our stuff is declining and we do not want to present...

    Wonder what the community will do to send the server off? Sleeper still there right? Can they kill it al a Rallos Zek?

    EQMac Now Free to Play

    Got the email and I wish they would at least the server to the PC and run it as their "classic" server. They need to so something with this because it's the best thing they have out in the public market.

    Transformers 4: Baylicious

    Grimlock's voice better be worthy of Grimlock. To me, it would be almost as important as Optimus.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    yeah, I can help but scratch my head in wondering what did he expect? It is fair to have some hopes that people will be one way or the other but the reality is the vocal members of the EQ community have always acted this way and you just deal with it. Some of it is entertaining and some of us...

    The Pokemon Thread

    I had never played any of these games. I remember when I was a CS student in college a Comic Book store hired me to do their networking and set up their eBay store so I actually worked there for a few months. I remember hearing about these games and the card games. I despised these kids at the...

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    I'm playing pretty casual due to time and how my job is going right now but FFXIV is definitely the only MMO I even consider playing for the time being... i'm sure others will find their itches scratched with Wildstar and Star Citizen. New consoles are on the horizon as well so i'm sure things...

    The Hobbit

    Yeah.. looks pretty good. Been hearing that most people expect this movie to be the best of the three. We'll see but this is coming from someone who really enjoyed the first one. I was pretty forgiving as I felt LotR TT and RotK were far better than FotR. So, I was anticipating The Hobbit...

    I think it is hilarious that people are rushing to the top in a month or less expecting this massive amount of content when it is blatantly obvious the majority of the content is currently in the middle. You pretty well ordered a burger, asked for all your favorite toppings, dressings,whatever...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Having a great time as well. If anything it feels like what I expected EQ2 to have been with nicer graphics. In addition I feel like I have a ton of things to do. I may be the minority but I like the choices of FATES, Duty Finder, LeveQuests, GuildHiests, Story Quests, normal quests, and just...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I still think it's possible. Also, was it the Spider-man or X-men cartoon series that had the Secret Wars? That was a great storyline too

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I don't see how they can pull off the hero portion of the Infinity Gauntlet. You pretty well have to bring in everyone not to mention all the cosmic beings. I would love to see it attempted. I don't know why... maybe his voice just sounds cool to me but I'm voting for Faramir to be Adam...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I want a good Daredevil. I want a good Fantastic Four. To finish it all off, I want the Infinity Gauntlet and then they can do whatever they want. Couple of other notes of past and possibly future screw-ups to watch for and/or possibly correct. Galactus - Don't screw that up Madarin -...

    Pacific Rim

    When are people going to learn that sometimes it is ok to accept that massive explosions and giant robots, without any kind of sophisticated, supporting storyline is a completely reasonable means to make a profit. I do believe Pacific Rim is a far superior movie than any of the Transformer...

    This. It has killed me to not play a healer for the first time since 1999. I would finally decide to change classes the very game that brought back asking for rezzes. To me, that's a major layer of community. I always like running dungeons for people who needed a particular item or update...

    I noticed two things you said there that I have really missed as well. You log on to chat with people and you do melds for people. I hear people all the time helping others out to finish relics stuff or whatever. Sure they're making money is most situations but I haven't seen anyone do that...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I would agree to this until this game. I really believe there's more time worth playing than a month or two in this game. It could be that i've been so busy and RL has limited my gaming time. I think if you rushed through the content you missed a lot of old school MMO feeling but if you're...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    It wasn't so much of what they had right but rather how many bought in to it. It was nothing to see 100 vs 100 in Kylong with 40-50 of the neutral guys coming in to gank. It was just fun mainly because of the people. Everyone knew the good and bad. Gank spots were fun. It was really timing...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    PVE: Server first Yelanik was awesome. We tried it with about 300 people and failed and failed. Our raid leader finally freaked out and kept about 4-5 solid groups or whatever we killed him effortlessly. We had a Plane of Sky raid and on the last island I was the last on alive one time and...
