Aradune, What are your thoughts about player growth besides just leveling and the acquisitions? Is the leveling going to be flatter so that content isn't leveled past so easily? Is item acquisition a huge part of player growth where it becomes a gear and leveling race to endgame? AAs did help...

The LOTRO system could give very minor improvements that aren't worth the trouble to min/max. I prefer that system to just finding a piece of loot that is Spider's bane. Your examples make the game even more loot based which causes it's own problems in environments. While I do want some weapons...

Lol, wish I could + you.

Tad, I'm not expecting a ton of change from Brad but I do see some changes coming and I'm excited for them. I loved EQ but 15 years later, I'd like to see what Brad can improve and there are improvements needed. Same with VG. We expect Brad to grow and learn from his mistakes. This is where...

Etchazz, usually I don't talk with you because you make moronic posts like this but why not today? Of course comparing one form of entertainment that just primarily uses your eyes to games is so very similar. In fact, why don't you respond with just your eyes since you could be using a tablet...

Good post but I'm looking for advancement of the genre. I don't expect Brad to do too much of this considering the funding options but I think it's way past time to see some real growth. As Draegan mentioned, there really hasn't been any progression from WoW. There were the early years, the EQ...

Good post Dmitry! With other options on the horizon, these issues and several others(boring leveling and very generic feeling game), I will pick other options to waste my money.

Tad, Who exactly has tried to best levels as a progression metric? Give me some good examples. Your reasoning for levels were awful as well. *A sense of progression? Doesn't killing harder mobs do the same thing? Getting better gear, doing better things, learning your skill, etc? You just...

I hate the exclamation points but the old system sucked as well. If a NPC needs something accomplished, why aren't they trying to get people to do it? I think there should be wanted posters, maybe a NPC who hovers around your trainer needing your specific skillset, or even a guy hawking his...

Lol, good point.

Popsicle strikes again! Awesome post and I LoL'ed. Exactly what I was thinking as I read further into the thread of what Brad needs to do to ensure the continued support of this fine, fine site. If I see a game without corpse runs, and classes that aren't extremely limited in their scope and...

Exactly. I knew several fanbois who didn't even know much about the Xbox One...and still preordered it immediately. I still think PS4 will win 'the war' but both systems will have solid success. This isn't the Wii U we are discussing here.

Brad, Glad to see you back. I'm also glad this is a small project. You will focus on the little things that can make this game fun to play. No need for higher end computers, massive quest chains, voice-overs, and all the fluff that is common for this genre. Just a good looking game that...

Damn right! I'd love to see OSU play some good teams at some point but that's why Meyer jumped aboard isn't it? Miraculously healed his injured pussy when he could slide into a pie job? Off topic but be honest with me. You're happy as hell that Landry Jones is gone aren't you? That worthless...

At home laughing my ass off. I admit I thought they had very little chance because big Bob left the building ages ago, but they played a hell of a game. SEC was weak this year. They have off years like everyone. They just don't get called for it anymore. Hate 'Bama and glad to see other teams...

Ugh. Big game Bob fortunately hasn't been seen in years. I prefer weak 'Bama team who finally met a team that actually knew how to stop an average QB. Call it pressure if you want.

Patsy schedule all year long where powerhouses like VT and WVU(next year) are the competition outside of the SEC. Playoffs will help shatter the SEC image next year. That and Auburn getting their asses kicked by FSU.

This sounds like the best options to get a real source of funding. You don't want to over promise and you want easily obtainable rewards that truly cost you nothing. These are goals that have already worked as a source of funds. No need to reinvent the wheel on funding when you need to focus on...

It is hard to make comparisons I agree. FF is on the way down and several missteps over the years for Square only increased this fall. Square was constantly changing the series with less than stellar results as time progressed.Top 10 in Sales - Final Fantasy - VGChartz. Follow that with a very...

Exactly. WoW was at one time a fantastic game. This does a few things a little different and is really well made just like WoW. It just doesn't do anything much differently than WoW. Will that be enough for WoW diehards to switch games with all the previous time invested? Hard to say but anyone...

While somewhat true, Star Wars has a lot of games and not all of them are considered strong showings for the franchise. The TES franchise has never really had a spin off and their games have increased in popularity with new releases. TESO has a strong chance of solid sales just based off prior...

I thought those videos were pretty good especially the ones Fedor shared. I especially liked the music and the feel of first person in a couple of them. It would be really nice to see Brad give us a real first person MMO once again. The other perspectives really reduce the immersion significantly.

It's a 15 year old game. If you truly thought that they would put anything other than limited resources into it after playing EQ, or Vanguard...then I don't know what to say. Nobody will or would do that. On to other topics, they want to allow people to create their own games from EQNL. That...

It's also a double sided road with developers coming on these forums. I remember quite a bit of Shilling dick sucking while valid questions and comments were shoved aside to 'allow the developers' to spread their vision to the unwashed masses.

Creed, * I agree there are good and shitty reboots. I think it will work out but plenty of time to be wrong.

Great post and all of this has been said before. The lore was a shitty mess after 18 expansions but anyone that quit in 2004 or earlier would have no clue. They explained what they were going for and just like the Star Trek fanatics, you either go with the new direction, or sit back and watch...

So, Lumie has been awful silent on here since he Kevorkianed WH. Feeling regrets? Or just on a garlic high right now and can't be bothered?

If you can't find 40, then they will help you find 40 IMO. Just like the 40 man raids, it will be hard to assemble a top group week after week, but it is really an attempt to work with the group of players who really want this. Just like the raids, I think this option won't work very well...

Actually Laura is spot on with this assessment. Wildstar will be a very good WoW clone and publishers are much, much more likely to help fund a copy of a game with WoW's success than Eq's. So, why kickstart when you can get publisher money? The goal is to actually get something out the door...

Damn double post.

Talking about Keg, WTF happened?

Wow, this thread is solid gold. Wish I could have given Wizardhawk some good advice before Lumie killed him. That's what happens when you piss off the great lizard lords. Lumie, do I capitalize Lizard Lords or do they have official titles and lizard lords is just the generic descriptor...

I think the Warplots are definitely the way to go and I'm actually going to try this game mainly to see what they can get right and improve on from WoW. Much like early AV, they can spread out objectives so that zergs aren't nearly as effective. Then it becomes 5-10 teams of players are better...

Are you talking about the DC or the whole damn team?

I agree. At least EQN is trying to innovate, change things up, and move forward. WoW(in space!) is as cutting edge as a non-stick frying pan.

Sorry to hear that and it's a universal problem in business right now. Short term profit for shareholders is the only true goal for most companies. Global economy has allowed cheap workers to devalue the true strength of any company...the people who actually do the work. Hope you find something...

I wish games would re-use content more. Just likes the orcs, chaos, ratmen, etc build back strength with time in Wahammer fantasy(not the game), they could have dungeons do the same. Wait a couple years for the content to really be used less and use that storyline to remake a dungeon. Make a...

Eli was always overrated. Inconsistent as hell with only a few good seasons in him. That awesome D started to go south, and that team begun to sink.

Dolphins finally beat the Pats. What a game and Brady can suck it. Tannehill was the MVP of the game.
