    Happy Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for?

    My brother just informed us a few days ago that he is coming home from Afghanistan, and he might be back in time for Christmas. And this time for good. He's been away for so many years it's going to be wonderful to have him back, safe and sound. We might even have everyone together again for the...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    I'm glad she asked the question and that people answered. I was wondering about those things too. Saved me the time of reading all the bs inbetween the info that goes on in these threads.

    Yes, Eve's buying and selling model is great. And it caters to people who liked EC and people like me who hated it. Eve's combat is what usually puts me to sleep, or as Utnayan put it "boring as fuck". The rest of the game rules.

    It was much more time than that for those of us doing bleeding edge content. You forget that we also had to get back to the spot we logged off at to start the next day's raid. Many times that involved some very dangerous runs. For tanks it wasn't worth it. And then there was the amount of...

    Yeah, I never cared for the EC tunnel. Me thinks you are rose tinting the experience. Mostly it was a chore, for buying and selling. And later in the game just getting to it was a total waste of time. The "community" was just a bunch of people spamming the same thing over and over. I'm sure the...

    Most mmos make money, even the crappy ones. Especially now with the new F2P changes. F2P has extended the life of many mmos that should have died long ago. I think that is the reason MMOs haven't evolved much. Devs don't feel the need to innovate when the same old tired fetch it quest model...

    I really have no idea. I figure they will at least sell 500,000 "boxes" the first month or so but just because of the IP's name recognition value in the general populace. Just an interested bystander. Played Oblivion a little bit, didn't play the others. Know about the IP because Skyrim was...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Do you honestly think that I haven't played other games? You missed the point. MMOs are stale because they haven't changed. Not because I haven't tried other games a bazzlion times. Don't worry, you'll get to the same place eventually that many of us are standing at. MMOs are stale because...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's not about how quickly you gear up, it's about the basic mechnics of MMOs in general. I'm tired of them. Been there, done that too many fucking times. After you've played a ton of MMOs, it all becomes the same. The genre needs to change for many of us to enjoy it again. I was watching the...

    This isn't a statement against WoW, but against MMOs in general that have similar mechanics to that which you just described (all of them)...... FUCK THAT. Your whole paragraph almost made me give up mmo's forever.

    Well even Obama's own experts concluded years ago that millions of Americans will have substantial increases in out of pocket expenses. ObamaCare is a wealth redistribution racket. That was by design. The lies Obama and the Democrats told were just to get the bill passed. And they did it...

    You could be right. Like I said it is an interesting test. A ton of people, gamers included, don't read gaming forums. They just see the pretty lights and the handsome actors and go oooooh, I want one. Star Wars I made bazillions and it sucked. The IP carried it though. Even Jar Jar couldn't...

    A lot of people here forget that FoH/Rerolled is a niche site. What we think of games doesn't necessarily filter out to the public. I wouldn't be suprised if TESO gets it's initial investment back, plus profit, in just the box sales alone. No matter how bad TESO may be as a game. And frankly...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    True, but for the majority of players in older games like EQ and WoW they never reached max level and didn't care about the endgame. That is what has changed. A higher percentage of players rush to the endgame now. And modern MMOs encourage that. Even WoW has changed it's leveling experience and...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    No, my point hasn't changed. If you misunderstood it then I probably didn't express myself well enough. I have always stated that I will judge the game for myself before deciding if it is a failure or not. Most people tend to follow the herd and their opinions become extreme. While they are not...

    You could be right. But one of their main selling points is the 3 faction pvp system. And obviously some of the devs worked on Daoc. For many of us jonesing for a good multifaction pvp system, we are hoping someone, anyone, will bring it back in a way we can enjoy. We have so few options and yes...

    GW2 was pretty universally praised as the second coming of christ around here. And it was fun for a while. But very few play it now. The same is true of STWOR, although it was despised afterwards in a way that GW2 never was. And for good reason. TESO is probably very much as people describe...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The main problem with leveling in todays mmo market is that many players just rush through it as fast as possible to get to the endgame. It's not the players fault for doing this, it's just the way things are. For most players nowdays leveling is just a boring inconvenience in the way of the...

    Do they have any of the 3 way PvP systems in place for the beta? If that breaks the NDA then forget I asked. If those work that would go a long way to forgiving the other areas of the game so many here dislike.

    It isn't a part of modern MMOs but yes they shoud be. It does open the game up to griefing but I personally enjoy that. And it is easy enough to counter with a million hitpoints, ac and a godly reposte. It's a minor feature though. First the game has to be fun to play before I care about...

    Not defending TESO, I haven't played it yet. But hyperbole like yours is standard for this board for almost every mmo. And yet, not every mmo is the worst mmo of all time. The wholesale herd mentallity is pretty strong with most of the people here so you tend to go overboard on one side or...

    I assume they made improvements over that time. So your impressions from back then do not count as much as those of the people playing now. Unfortunately, most people playing now still have a negative impression of the game. That isn't enough to sway me from not trying it (for reasons I...

    It's probably true. If it wasn't then any lawyer could sue your company for much more than the piddling amount that they are "saving" because of ObamaCare's mandates. Business learned a long time ago not to fuck with regulations that could cost them millions in lawsuits. Still, it's worth double...

    FoH/Rerolled has a pretty bad track record in picking good games. Most people here pretty much hate everything, and the things we do love at the beginning (SWTOR, GW2 etc) usually fall flat. Nobody is special in this regard. We are all as guilty as anyone else on this board for being wrong...

    Utnayan, I don't want to neg you. But you really try hard sometimes for one. You are not reasonable about this game. It's all your predetermined opinion x10 on steroids. Which is fine usually (and par for the course on ReRolled) but you pretty much live in this thread throwing it around. It...
