If there's actually anyone who needs a key: Key 1: TTXF28-MM8N-Y64HCG-WB7E-87XTWP Key 2: 4M6RMH-GV8X-8MFHXG-BV62-XCCRFR Key 3: VXYD9X-JVHH-J2EHGP-V4RM-8CBJRX Key 4: T2C824-FEY2-EXRPP4-68BT-N44WXH I'll check this out as I briefly enjoyed DOTA and LOL despite being terribad at both...

I wasn't really that enthusiastic about this movie, but after that trailer... damn.

Itzena beat me to the punch. Pratchett's later Discworld novels are far, far better than the first few. The first two are really meh. I'd actually start with Small Gods.

You're leaving the 800 pound EA Gorilla out of the Warhammer equation. I don't blame that on Mark. I blame it on his bosses wanting a WOW killer. Just the same as SWTOR, except Warhammer didn't have the Bioware time and money. DAOC had an amazing PVP design and was a very fun game for the...

My 20 year old has been on my Discover card for five years. I use it for everything(2k-3k/mo) for the rewards and pay it off each month. His credit score is 810 JUST for being on this card for the last five years, so something isn't right there, Ked.

Shaddup and get back to designing your Socialist MMO, Ut. Firing up NWN. What the heck, how much more D3 can I play?

This strikes me as a sinister plot to get me to reinstall many Turbine games.Hmmm.

It really isn't. Almost all large companies are poorly managed. What they all have in common is generally product, cash flow, or a large investment pool. You can get away with those sort of things if you are an AT&T, Verizon, IBM, or Microsoft. You can't if you have no product or stellar...

CU is much farther along in development and much less ambitious. Blame Koster.The two games have very different designs, from my limited knowledge of CF and it's strategy overlay. CU is on the horizon. My guess is CF won't release within two years of the other.

The best thing they could do is keep 2.2 on PTR until S2 is over. I don't see it happening, but it makes no sense to drop it mid season. The game is moving less towards theorycrafting and more towards full on Slotomania. Keep rolling until you hit a big win.

I personally don't have any issues discussing MMOs. It's just when I go to the general forums with all the closet hippies here, ya know... Anyways, It's a slow day at work, so I'll be your Huckleberry. The game was boring and the complete opposite of all the single player Bethesda games I...

I wonder how close in proximity and communications this studio is to Richard Garriott's new Austin based MMO company and how many people are interlinked in these two companies.... Austin has become Indy Kickstarter MMO central, it seems.

I can do T6 in 5 minutes or so on my Monk, but trying this strategy to gear my Barb made me start to fucking lose my mind. Kadala is a stingy cunt to me. Personally, I like to leech T6s on my Barb. You'll actually get 1 or 2 useful drops every few runs that are actually useful. Most people...

No offense, but if the PVP is designed to appeal to large scale warfare and big guilds like PRX, this game will lose me. I worry about a PVP game without a pre formulated stout design document built for fun regardless of 'team'.

Psst, that was Rescorla. Black was always pretty fair, but it's tough to discuss MMOs here with the zealout Blizzard fanboys and hardcore PVP crazies here. I think the best thing they could do is gear this towards the console crowd as much as possible and try to position it as a fantasy...

Yeah, I did my Barb in no time, although 60-70 slows down. I think I'll try a DH next since I have a ton of Dex gear. If anyone wants to swap T6 clears for gearing alts, message me as Coldfire in game. My monk is pretty much done.

Justice for forum trolls is a dream we all can share

I disagree. It sounds like they knew exactly what they were doing. The plan might have cratered but they had a pretty good idea and the means to implement it if Sony's parent had given them the same deal they gave Nova. I think the problem is they overvalued SOE before. As of today they just...

Interesting. This is on PTR, I'm guessing?

Man, I have one of those but wrongly assumed it was a neck/ring gem haha. That's awesome. I'll have to level one of those guys for sure.

I'm still trying to sort out what build I'd like to end with for my Monk. So many cool options My current setup just melts T6 and I can roll through 30 Grifts. I have Inna's Chest and Pants, would love a belt. Also need an SWK amulet, then I can use my Leoric's Crown. Overall, I'm really...

The only problem is this story isn't Ridley Scott's. It's from Philip K. Dick and in the original novel the movie is based on Deckard is most definitely not a Replicant.

In UtMotherland you do not build game. Game Builds you.

I'd post but you summed up my feelings exactly. Every year or two I fire this up. It remains amazing and has stood the test of time. There are so many underlying messages and questions in this movie, you could watch it a dozen times and still find a different angle. At it's core it's a...

but, but this is my peer reviewed MMO science.... My world is all about the conjecture, my man.

Because they make no profit on box and expansion sales and web advertising, right? Do you think the content is worth paying 40 for an expansion and 180 per year? I personally do not. Do they still shut the servers down all day Tuesday? That model is why we have ten years of bad diku clones...

The evolution of cost based online gaming was hourly charge to monthly charge to freemium. Subscription based MMOs are outdated given the limited costs and the fact they are pure profit. WOW makes a mint just on box and expansion sales. I'd wager the sub fee is pure profit and I feel a bad deal...

The problem is we are continuing to get crappy games due to the prolonged life of other terrible ones from milking cash shops, instead of new and fresh ideas to try and win market share or innovate when something doesn't work. Why actually push the boundaries when you can make a mediocre game...

In the early 90s with Compuserve, AOL, and TSN we paid hourly gaming fees. When the industry moved to a monthly sub it was great, but it was reflective of the marketplace, and things simplifying. I think the subscription model sucks, but the cash shop one really is horrible in every manner. I...

I wonder how much Brad was given from Microsoft. Granted, it's a rounding error for Bill Gates back then, but I doubt things would be different this time around with him once again spending other people's money. I'm amazed by the coin Star Citizen has raised. It is a genre that many of us...

Dumar, I just can't disagree more with that entire statement and I also wonder how well you understand coding and network engineering, especially 10 to 15 years ago? I agree Blizz has some top notch people, but there were really talented people at Turbine, SOE, Trion, etc as well and many have...

Actually, I liked the graphics and the UI. I did hate the zones and the animations left a lot to be desired, but for me the biggest problem was the combat and grouping mechanics, especially coming to EQ2 after playing AC2 and DAOC both of which had oustanding combat. I played several years of...

I've made the point multiple times the combat system was completely terrible for EQ2. I've also said today and in 04/05 that if they had cut and pasted EQs combat system on top of EQ2 the game would have been an order of magnitude better. I agree. It was fun because it was well designed. EQ2 was...

Yeah, I was. I played both betas and bought both games. I was on the FOH forums then, also.

The point was the initial development of EQ2 vs WOW and has nothing to do comparing Blizz vs SOE. WOW's release was a steaming pile of shit, which anyone here who was around could tell you. They had severe network, server, and bug issues. Likewise, the feature set on release for WOW in 04 was...

I'm sure your detailed knowledge of the programmers at SOE and Blizzard is extensive. I'd actually say the programmers at SOE did far more given the terrible design document EQ2 had. Reading comprehension for the win, or at least substantiate your troll.

EQ2s biggest problem is, was, and always will be the shit combat and bloat skills that some idiot designed and their incompetent management never fixed or changed. It would have been bigger if they had simply cut and pasted EQs combat system on top. The problem was not coders or engineers...

Nobody who knows Brad's history is surprised. That said you can't get money for games or media much anymore, as it's insular. Online gaming is mainstream. It's reporting is mainstream. The money and audiences are tough to get.

They've been pretty straight forward about those plans and it will have a persistent element. Anyways, what MMO actually is one in the traditional sense?

I actually just got this for my PS4. Some of my coworkers still play it daily, so seems fairy popular still.
