Boston. I'll aslo add that if it takes a police state to stop terrorism then the terrorist have won. Also looks like Snowden has gone retarded and is going to Venezuela/Cuba via Russia instead of Iceland.

I understand that you're ready to welcome in the police state with open arms. If Snowden had stayed here he'd have been locked up and never heard from again, he did us a service, "eveyone" understood back in 1990 that the NSA was using Echelon or wtf and listening in on phone calls but only...

Eh. I don't know about that. I really don't like auction houses or trade channels. The best trading method is where you can setup NPCs as shopkeepers for you in a bazaar area. Though there should be multiple bazaar areas per continent. What AH's and trade channel prevent is trading as an...

I'm not advocating questing to level - but it's not the hub-based questing that's the problem, it's the how it's implemented. Instead of EQ style where the head/quest object/etc dropped from the mob when you killed it, whether you had the quest or not, WoW-style questing required you to have...

@Dumar. Nothing wrong with flying mounts or quick travel as long as they're earned and not immediately or instantly available. Flying mount quest in VG was the biggest PITA but worth it when you finally got it. Same with quick travel, should be slow travel at start, then mounted travel, then...

Confirmed NSA plant. It is well documented that in the past ten years Public Sector salaries have outstripped Private Sector salaries particularly at the 100k+ higher end. Government jobs have better benefits, much better security and pay better. If you really want to get annoyed compare...

Chaos is a shill for the NSA. Every semi-popular US bbs has one. Quick... Trace his IP.

I like the heart.

Pefect example of title of thread. Transgender is hardly 'marginalized' today as Gabe would have it. Twenty years ago? Sure. Nowdays, nope. If you're a white male pre-op 10/11 year old transgender in 4th grade you're a popstar in today's public schools. If you're a white male in 4th grade...

I'm pretty sure you're a paid troll for Blizzard now. Classy.

Quoted before but might as well quote again since we're 200+ pages in/ I'm pretty sure we get seasons and weather beyond that ... ;-) http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10...d-soes-future/

Who knows what Smed considers to be a sandbox?

It was terrible in the newbie zones. Particularly the popular ones like Tanvu. I could deal with it, but a lot of people couldn't and ragequit at like level 4 or level 5.

Somehow I missed. This.

VG sold 200,000 copies at release (whatever 'release' means) - there's a couple of sources for this just google Vanguard 200,000 - presumbly it sold some amount after release and before FTP but I'd be shocked if that was 10% of the original. Anyway, 200,000 is a lot - the first week of...

They were both pretty awful - but the 2D one was awful and tragic given that it had a decent premise (gang ends up in flatland) that was mangled. As for what happened to Futurama? IN order of least important to most -It got political - weird random leftist bs mostly from Verrone in the...

I can deal with some instancing/summoning/etc for the odd boss as long as the majority of bosses/raids/dungeons are non-instanced. /derail Also you're name drives me nuts, I always read it as Mr. Creedy (V for Vendetta).

Well it's supposed to be the , "largest sandbox ever" and etc. So we'll see. I'm well aware there will be some instancing in EQN - I don't have a problem if it is used for an initial newbie intro area, class quests or other limited usage. What I don't want - is dungeon instances a la WoW &...

So you agree EQNext is OOH?

I hate instanced dungeons but will admit that for certain specific things they work okay - such as LOTRO's class quest instances. I'll note that non-instanced dungeons can have triggered events (c.f. Vanguard) so instancing is not a requirement for scripted events. Generally though I don't...

Did you camp it on the last progression server?

/aside Seems like the thread is derailing into EQ v. WoW like so many other threads. Fuck two faction battlegrounds. The one plus with EQNext if it is "good" but "different" is this site will fracture into three: EQ diehards who hate EQNext for being too different from EQ and hate WoW for...

No. It's because people don't give a shit anymore because it's a loot pinata. I haven't played in years but I suspect a lot of people who still play, play for the Pokemon aspect which, if I understand correctly, requires acquiring rare and hard-to-find pets. Which was the point a lot of us...

If it's the future why is WoW losing millions of subs a quarter and considering moving to FTP?

Tell me what scripted event was interesting the tenth time you ran that dungeon? @Kreugan I think 12 camps and no FBSS sucks and I get your point but then again I remember my thirty+ runs to UBRS for the alchemy recipe that dropped off the General. It came up 2 or 3 times, each time I lost...

Instanced dungeons suck. That is all. They're fun the first time you run through, they're less fun the second time through, by the fifth time through all I want to do is find a camp and have mobs pulled. No dice. I shouldn't have to run the entirety of a dungeon everytime to just to be...

To all the @NoDowntime people Just because you want every game to cater to your ADHD does not mean that every game should cater to your ADHD. The rest of us have lives, don't mind taking time out for the social aspects of games and/or pizza breaks. Pretty much this. Anyone suggesting...

Man it's been a while - fucking 50 dkp minus... Good times!

Why? The general trend of this thread is to compare classic EQ with post-Vanilla WoW.

So I guess the hot new conspiracy theory going around is that reporter Michael Hastings' car was blown up because he was working on a national security story. https://mobile.twitter.com/wikileaks...75869629022208

Precisely, you don't get it.

I care. I care very deeply. DCUO was the last MMO I'll ever play without auto-attack. If EQNext doesn't have auto-attack I'll just start playing Bridge. -Lack of auto-attack increases wrist pain because of massive clicking increase. I have no desire to develop carpal tunnel syndrome...

Pretty much.

I think we're going with EQ's duller aspects were less dull than WoW's duller aspects. As noted, you could mitigate a dull camp by camping with friends (social interaction) or if it was a solo camp by watching a movie on TV in the b.g. or wtf.

Who says EQ-EVE doesn't have outer space? SOE could have us riding spelljammer-ish ships to Luclin and beyond.
