Draegan, what was your overall feeling in speaking to Brad? What is his Kickstarter ETA?

I wonder what the status is right now? Is Brad meeting with his peeps everyday? Is he working 8-10 hours a day? Do they have a studio/office? Or is he sitting at home drawing stuff and writing out his potential Kickstarter. I cannot get a read on where he is in all of this..

Honestly, I don't like the micro-transaction model. I've read the studies and i'm sure they stand to make a ton of money but I just want to pay for a game and let that be the driving force. I don't want any development time whatsoever to go toward decorative items or meaningless gear with...

I'm down but I still haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe it is happening in the next month. I'm still on FFXIV as well but I play it casually and not extremely dedicated to it. It is just a fun game for me that looks new and gives me some hope that a new game can actually be...

I guess this is one instance where we can contextually say, "This is why we can't have nice things..." Right?

My opinion, FF needs to be as true as possible to the comics especially if they are going for an origin story. Johnny Storm is not black. No offense to the guy playing him but it needs to feel right, look right, and be right.

yeah... I wouldn't spread it to thin. At least split the difference. You want to have big rumbles when the server first opens up. Eventually people will all be max and have alts sniping newbies. Not sure if they'll want to put the development time in but I would make zones randomly have...

Good deal... I think team PvP would really be the ticket. It was a lot of fun in EQ and if they can pull it off in a classic or progression setting, it would be awesome. I love the initial rush of a new server for EQ. So they thinking December? It sounds like this is more than talks to me.

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

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

I would be very interested in team PvP. Hope that actually come to fruition.

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...

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?

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...

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...

I remember visiting this place when I was guide. Do they still offer a Guide Program?

Has Hobart mentioned anything or chimed in on this decision?

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?

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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 -...
