For the people wanting a more "classic" feel, what do people recommend playing currently? P99, EQMac, or just bite the bullet and pay EQLive?

Someone please tell me Smokejumper is no where near EQNext.....

Yeah.... just wasn't sure why the promotion all of sudden? I had seen bits and pieces and then all of a sudden MMORPG and a few other sites began tweeting all day and posting articles.

Not sure what is going on but there seems to be a lot of people playing at the moment. I say that because I have noticed several tweets and retweet regarding the game. Most interesting one was the MMORPG.com retweet earlier of some guy saying the game is a "keeper" ...

This is the direction I wanted to see games go... How do you enhance the MMO experience based on what was originally there. I think this is a cool idea, among others, that we have seen games talk about. I think MMO's started out with the right ideas in mind with UO, EQ, DAOC, etc. Some how...

Ok...where are the beta invites? *edit* Small hint at the bottom of the Producer's letter....http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/60207

haha.. let's try to separate the N64 version from the book. Though, I really had a good time with that game though some boards seemed like it took me 45 min to a hour to get to a boss.

The only spin-offs should be the sub-set books from the "canon" should be like Battle of the Bounty Hunters and Shadows of the Empires. They were great and deserve a look.

Yeah.. and you know Paul Barnett can take a long walk off a short pier as well. Seems like I remember him pretty much being a public nuisance as well.

Yeah.. Mark Jacobs was all I needed to know. WAR could have been a great game and his stubbornness (at least what I read from his own posts) drove it into the ground until people could not take it anymore. I think I had more fun on WAR than I did anything post-EQ.

Looking at the new blog entry this morning, I'm really starting to think these people have lost their mind. It is just their presentation and write-ups just seem (as I believe Draegan said at one point) unprofessional. It's like they are letting a High School senior write these things. It may...

Finally some information! http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/g...n-of-Beta.html

The same guy that made this made a North Freeport as well (I think...) It is actually really cool. In regards to Sandbox... I agree, I want to know what Smed feels is a true sandbox because I think it has to be in context. Minecraft is a sandbox but it has different limitations because it...

Wonder if this is an EQN leak? Nope... it's actually Minecraft. Thought it was EQN for a second....

While it may not mean much to some or even to a game, I have always enjoyed in-game music. I know I have fond memories tied to EQ's music. Today FFXIV released a new video filled with in-game music in the upcoming beta. With that being said and shared.... this doesn't give us one bit of...

I can think of several things that both D1 and D2 captured that D3 has totally missed on.

I would go on to say that Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman were well known as well. Yeah, Liam Neeson was and is a pretty big deal.... Watch what you say regarding "if the lens flare is the biggest problem, you'll be ok..." The majority of The Hobbit's publicized issues were regarding the...

This is a "growing" concern of mine lately with every MMO. This seems to be the variable everyone wants to play with at this time. I'm still looking for the right method as I don't think anyone has quite got it down but there more or less extremes present. EQ2 with the 1 million buttons and...

Going all Mac will give you access to some nuances and conveniences that you will enjoy but they are entirely possible with other Operating Systems and devices. Typically people prefer the Apple interface but it is all about what you like and get use to... I worked as an Apple System Admin...

I don't think I have met a single person (trekkie and non-trekkie) that didn't enjoy Star Trek (at least from a movie perspective). I'm not one to use RT as a source but it holds a 95% critics and more importantly a 91% from the public. If nothing else the general opinion is positive...

You wouldn't think so but I don't know how many games people have just fell out of love with quickly because of the animation. You would think they would have figured out that this is one of the first things people look at when videos are released.

Nah... I loved Cloverfield. Oh well... who knows when this will ever come into fruition.

I'll take anyone who would please bring PvP to D3. I have always played Diablo for the PvP and it just doesn't seem the same without it..

I'm cool with JJ..... i've enjoyed pretty well everything he has done. Has it been my favorite, no but he appears to create genius in every click whether it achieves it or not.... I think he'll take SW very seriously because it could put his name in the history books if it succeeds. Honestly...

I always thought that EQ2's graphics were the best out there after EQ ran its course but as Draegen said, it's such a subjective area of discussion. Though honestly it was the graphics that ultimately turned me away from Wow and forced me to choose EQ2. I liked the realism vs comic...

Well its easy really... if you watch the videos and look at the screens (understanding the fact it is still kind of early to call), it just doesn't seem to have the beauty or appear to have the feel of their other games. Please note though I said "seems" uninspired lending to my first...

When I think of the way I want dungeons to be, I think of Sol A/Sol B and UGuk/LGuk. Open progression, camps, and stuff just everywhere. I think it added to the game. Upon entering the zone, you had a purpose to attempt to get to camp x,y, or z to try to get item whatever. It may seem bland...

I think they should release it for about a year, close it down, and then reopen it 6 months later. The game just seems so uninspired to have the lineage that it does... I would say people are going to draw a lot of comparisons to SWTOR due to the console love being ported to MMO. Its going to...

Many may not agree or even thinks it matters but if Scottdidjoin the EQN team, it would give me a jolt of confidence. I think who or whatever he joins it will be good. I don't think he would leave otherwise. I would make him some type of community liaison in addition to whatever title he...

That's me.... I don't get into too much hype anymore but I don't completely discount anything either... We'll see. Heck, I have nothing to lose. I play LoL and 2K13. My horizon looks like more LoL, SimCity, and FFXIV. I don't think it will hurt to give a game a chance.

That's about the truth... Smokejumper is just about the most irrelevant person in SoE or even MMO's. I have pretty much seen absolutely nothing happen under SJ's watch at SoE. Well nothing or any worth. Is SoE actually trying to build a dream team? (just speculation of course)

All jokes aside.... this game really doesn't anyone a reason to play outside of a shot of being just interesting enough to enjoy opening day rush which to me is the best part of a new MMO. We'll see how it goes over the course of beta....

Does every MMOhaveto be a WoW clone? I think at this point you can say that MMO's have establish standards now and you cannot contribute all of them to WoW.

Whoa, this is big news really. I think Scott is the real up and coming guy that is hot on the MMO market. I don't think you can say he has any failures on his record and where ever he lands people may want to take notice. These guys are like coaches anymore... Brad is kind of like Jim...

It's extremely odd... maybe I don't get it or it is some asian humor that I have missed. I agree, unprofessional and just odd. I have no idea what they were doing with beta around the corner. How about some gameplay footage or a walk-through? This was just a dumb post.

Do we not have some people on the inside to give us some info? Surely we have some alpha connections or have they closed Alpha in preparation for beta? Beta invites should be going out in the next week or so so we can get the client downloaded. I spent some time this weekend reading up on the...

Consoles and EQN come up time to time but I really don't know how I feel about it... FF is the only MMO that really married the two but haven't played enough to form an opinion... Any positives or negatives to this...?

I think if two raid forces enter a zone before they can engage the raid mob a good old Mortal Kombat "Fight" should appear and the winning guild stands and get the target. Soon as the other guild is defeated or surrenders, they are removed from the zone with lock out timer and the winning guild...

I've always thought the way you implement PvP into a PvE centric game is to create an open world zone and give the side with control bonuses that would be necessary to assist in a raid or a certain dungeon (maybe the bonus changes) or even it opens up certain markets or access to x amount of...

Found their latest blog entry pretty interesting... It's nothing major but they are really stirring my interest. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/blog
