A lot of my long-time MMO buddies just switch what game they're playing every month or two. Say they're enjoying each one for the grind to the top, but don't ever stick with anything long enough to see all of the deep issues in so many of the games.

The reluctance you're seeing has a lot to do with the fact that many posters here have been around so long, and seen so many "amazing promises and goals" not met that it's hard to look at Star Citizen and not be skeptical as well. There have been so many games in the past that promised so much...

Good idea:Let past subscribers login February 27 - March 9 for free to check out the latest patch and see if they want to come back and play again. Bad idea:E-mail said past subscribers about this on March 10.

This was at least the 2nd top post on /r/gaming earlier today, and has been sitting at number 6 for a couple hours now. I imagine a few gaming news sites will pick it up soon.

In typical EVE fashion, the monument that CCP put up has already been defaced. ViaTwitter / The_Real_Gevlon: @Xenuria found your name and ...

I imagine a lot of it is getting the technology up to speed so that when it is fully shown off, it looks great. If the first full look that includes a lot of content variety also looks like shit, or most of what they're talking about doesn't work, then people will just assume it's the same shit...

I wouldn't mind a spare beta key if anyone has one as well.

CCP is building a monument to EVE players in Reykjavik. It's going to have all main characters' names etched onto it as well. http://eve.com/monument

If the console versions would support mouse and keyboard, I wouldn't care that much about no PC release. But I'm not getting my hopes up on that.

I've made full family trees for characters back when I role-played more, and I actually enjoy the thought of doing it again. But I know most people don't enjoy that, which is why I don't see this current system making it live. Or at least without some way of bypassing it, whether it be using...

Hopium is right. Finished reading through all that, and the game definitely is aiming high. I am intrigued by the sort-of permadeath system that they're talking about so far. I like the idea of it, but imagine a lot of people won't. I also don't see it making it to release the way it has been...

Didn't Asheron's Call already do this 14 years ago?

This is what worries me the most about this game. There are so many games that handle crowd funding well, and lots of stuff that wouldn't be made without it. I would hate to see people get turned off to the whole process because Chris Roberts knows the exact right sweet nothings to whisper into...

What makes this game feel awkward to me is it seems like it's just imitating everything that made Skyrim great. The graphics are aiming for the same style, but it lacks the depth and beauty and wonder that Skyrim had. The music is very obviously not Jeremy Soule, yet seems to try to mimic his...

I will never forget the horror of Hogger routinely being stuck in the tree near his spawn and constantly evading.

It shutdown around 1 PM PST.

He's dead, Jim.

To be fair, I think tonight's closure is exactly why they wanted to keep off the radar. Not that it excuses the behavior of some. The server barely scraped by before, I can see why wanting to be ignored and not noticed was preferable.

I thought the world and visuals were generally pretty good in that video, but the combat looked pretty bad. It played out like typical MMO combat, where the mobs stand in place with perhaps a little minor pushback. In Skyrim, there was quite a bit of movement around, as you tried to get a better...

A return of EQTutorial.exe, perhaps?

That just reminds me... has there even been any other MMOs besides Asheron's Call that implemented seasons and a more advanced weather system than random rain paired with a lessened viewing distance? I thought both of those were pretty cool aspects to the game, but none of the major games have...

If they still split it up into multiple servers, they're going to have to stay on top of merging servers when necessary. People complain about WoW servers being dead, imagine what that would be like with a world exponentially larger. But mergers might be quite a bit harder now, particularly with...

Ya'll are making me sad, with your beta invites and whatnot. :/

Does this game use essentially the same class system that was in FFXI, wherein you have the main class and subclass, and you can switch between them or other classes at will? I haven't followed the game that much due to the horrible original launch, and I can't find anything about that...

Oh, I did learn that they still need more programmers on the game. So I guess that's news that the game will (hopefully...) not be coming out this year.

Not that I expected there to be much shown or talked about at this, but this is a pretty big let down so far. That EQ series trailer even seemed like it was going to at least build to a very short clip of EQ Next. Just something one or two seconds, and that would be that. A small tease for SOE...

At least they're realizing 2013 wasn't going to happen, not with what they've been showing off. Not that they can fundamentally change the game in the added 6 months, but still.

It might address some, but it really does raise questions as well. The game launches this year, but they're not talking about if any factions will be in besides the Fighter's Guild and the Mage's Guild. They talk about not wanting stupid enemies who just stand there, but a lot of their fighting...

The sad thing is that a lot of people are eating this up. I just took a look at reddit to see if this is getting anywhere near a negative reaction that it is here, and, well... There's some dissent, but that's also getting shouted down. If that particular sub-reddit is more indicative of...

Smedley has talked a little today on Twitter about how they're making improvements to the Forgelight Engine(what powers Planetside 2 and EQ Next) for the PS4 that will translate into improvements on the PC side. So I would guess anything we see about EQ Next next week will be relation to the...

As long as it isn't too much of a pain to unlock stuff and stick with just one character(for those of us who never have altitis), I'd love this idea a ton. I do think there is some room to extend the abilities beyond just having 5 or so. I've always loved Guild Wars 1's model where there was...

Not sure if this was slightly poor wording, but did you mean this to sound like TESO is going to be just like WoW where there's an optimal(or a couple of) DPS rotations and if you veer off of that rotation, you're hosing your own damage potential? Or do you just mean it as going CC will hose...
