How's EQ2 doing now since his departure? Game population decent? Read some on the Official EQ2 forums regarding PvP and seems to be disgruntle as usual (population appears to be thin). I have 2-3 maxed characters but would like to start fresh on Nagafen. Thoughts?

This is the only game since EQ that I have a difficult time resisting when big updates are made. I wish I could get back into their PvP but last time I run around on Naggy it was a complete ghost town. I moved all my players to AB just because of population. Who is the lead developer or...

Since I did not make it into beta I cannot lend very much assistance to a friend that made it in. He said he does not see a Beta board or does he see a place to download the client. Anyone else have this issue?

So Beta started this morning.... Cannot wait to see what the overall impression is at the end of the test. Did they state if it would be one week or two?

I use to contribute to sites (had an article or two make it to Curse) but if I continue to getting good vibes I wouldn't mind supplementing some articles and help keeps things up to date if assistance is needed.

Think Draegan was waiting for someone to help run things. I wish I had the time because I would love to help and i'm afraid there are still a lot of unknowns about the game.

You have no idea, unless you're an avid reader of this board, just how much I have preached this.... I agree with you 100%

Just $29.99 if I remember correctly and they haven't mentioned anything about the monthly fee but i'm assuming it will be $12.99 - $14.99 ish

Yup

I think its a good move to get people in like my friend though because he has no idea what 1.0 was like.... Again, no idea if selections are filtered and picked intentially or strictly random but, legacy players are going to be looking at particular things on their list. This way they get a...

I wouldn't expect anything of any weight or value until Fan Faire. Should get some concrete details then to discuss for another year or so... I can't wait until beta. I really think you are going to see a lot of people sharing some heart to hearts more so than any other beta. This game may...

My friend just texted me and received an invite. This isn't a complaint but going to give people perspective on the invites (it's really random). His computer is older and has worse specs than mine. I think he has beta tested one or two games and he has never played a Final Fantasy game...

This is how I feel. I really don't know if anyone has ever done this before but I respect their management decision. I've seen a lot of games release in a crappy state, stay in a crappy state, and simply say, we're working on it but nothing happens (at least not for a long time). It's also...

This... and this again...

Congrats... Legacy player?? Still nothing for me but I figured I was pretty well going to be a later phase due to being a non-legacy player. Was hoping they would want some non-Legacy perspective.

No doubt in my mind that MMO's are going to show up on the next generation consoles. More people on servers are ultimately more appealing. Cross-platform makes sense, especially being under the same umbrella. I still prefer PC when playing MMO's but to my understanding a lot of people like...

This is more or less my point. If their funding is based on a kickstarter and contingent upon the business impression that it leave on potential investors, I would think you would really have to showcase the only product you have at this time, which is your web presence (website, blogs, press...

This was really impressive to me.... but they are showcasing things that I am more interested in and I could be making more out of it than it really reflects. In other words, take it for what its worth.

In the second video, I loved seeing people in the open world fighting. You don't see that very often. I don't know how much that will actually happen outside of a video but, the overview gave me a good feeling. We'll see. I hate this game is so far away.

I've looked at everything recently but nothing that didn't appear to be a token PR response in hopes of gaining trust and especially money. I haven't seen anything specific and if you played WAR and was involved in that community, you'll know what I mean. It isn't so much his mistakes but i'm...

In what regards... we talking boats? Ports? Good or evil faction? There is a lot that comes into play depending on the details. If i'm a dark elf, running from the Commonlands, heading into FP, to catch the boat to join up with an Unrest group, you're talking a nice chunk of time. If you...

This... what is their problem? I'm all for having fun and displaying creativity but this is ridiculous. I under they want attention and they in turn need to differentiate themselves from others. I would like something a little more relevant to their game. Right now i'm led to believe i'm...

Do they give any dates on the start of beta or do the messages just inform you of your invitation and client download? Also, Final Fantasy just made my 100th post on Rerolled.... it better be good now. > Will be looking forward to people's review once NDA is dropped.

The word is on the street they are doing waves. Primarily Legacy accounts are getting first shot. This is to be expected as I'm sure they don't want everyone on the plant downloading their client. Supposedly there should be another wave today or maybe throughout the entire week. They are...

Whoa, you completely cut my sentence in half... I said they need to avoid adding the insta port feature of these tools. The tools are great but, when you form the group, you shouldn't be ported to x dungeon or zone. I love the tools, just not the aspect of adding travel to those tools. (I...

Slow style travel doesn't have to be an inconvenience, it just needs to be player driven. In time, it can be a source of income and means to interact with players. MMO's just need to avoid having tools and utilities such as LFG to automatically port or have objects in every town, zone, guild...

This was one MMO I really had little exposure to.... I think I was really hooked into Starcraft and Diablo at this time but I'm installing this right now and even putting it on my Macbook Pro to goof around during upcoming travel downtime. Anyway we can get names of people playing or maybe...

I agree. I know its an inconvenience for people to spend their actual time selling but I think EQ2 had the best system. I liked purchasing through the AH but I would save some bucks sometimes traveling to people's houses and purchased. I think there should be a fee system. If you sell off...

Beta keys are going out supposedly.... I haven't seen or heard of any from personal contacts but that does not mean they haven't went out. Post on their forums was locked due to NDA.

I remember upgrading to a Voodoo3 (had a Voodoo2 to play Unreal) and had the worst dial-up on the planet. I remember getting Diamond Viper Card and it was DoA and was crushed. I think I stayed with Voodoo and then Geforce line cards ever since. I remember running the Voodoo Lights screensaver...

You're probably right and I don't have the answer unfortunately. I guess I am just hoping that people that are much smarter than I am, sitting in some game design office, will have an answer for this problem.

I agree to an extent but I think it is a simple fix. You make the world what it is and put your time into developing the world itself and you move away from instancing. I also believe you remove the ability of tools, features, queues or whatever port you all over the world just because it...

I think it comes down to the value of the environment. I'll give some generalized examples that I think made the journey on EQ fun for me. I think of the value of camps and travel between towns. I think of Sand Giants for FS farming and plat with Lockjaw for a piece of gear. I think of...

Kudos to them for the FATE system. I hope its worth while as I have always liked this concept in other MMO's and would love to see it done right and generate some activity in the open world. Who would have thought that people might like to travel in an MMO and see people play?!

How's EQMac doing these days? Was thinking about getting my dose of nostalgia in and was curious how the lower levels were doing?

I was fully expecting some teaser information at FanFaire this year. Then some primarily quiet months with occasional updates. Sometime next summer or fall we will go through all the betas and then we'll get a November'ish release. I want to say on EQ's birthday, which I think is March 16th...

I guess my question is how these guys at the top (or close to the top) seem to make such major decisions without reproach. I know there are people there that had to disagree with some of these decisions. I know when I was in Software and toward the end of that tenure was just below my manager...

That's easier said than done because at some point it is a judgement call and a risk. Some of the most fun in an MMO has been the release rush (but early starts have subsided this a bit) and I used to wait until a week or so in hopes of a new server opening. However, games do not seem to make...

This... reputation proceed themselves and they are in deeper than FFXIV in regards to starting in the red. I don't mean to have sour grapes but I'm just tired of wasting my time and money.

I understand you are in an awkward position here (giving you the benefit of the doubt). However, I would need evidence in regards to both of your posts regarding SJ, Sillus, and even Jeff Butler. I assumed Jeff would be on the staff and regardless of Brad's title, he's being asked questions...
