The only problem with that idea is that the majority of the botting issues in my experience have been with gold farmers who aren't playing the game for fun. Admittedly this was mostly experienced in eastern games. I guess people who bot to level are annoying too. The most fun fix for that was...

I think the point was more that Brad would "anonymously" back it himself to hit the goal. Like it's 250k short, he throws in 250k, loses the 5% or whatever Kickstarter charges, makes his 250k back and nets an additional 510k.

This has always been and still is my biggest issue. Even if they get the word out ineffectively in a way that still nets them the 800k initial funding, the fact that they seem to be all over the place and doing as much damage to themselves as good just SCREAMS disorganized. Maybe I am just...

How are you going to feel when the PC gamer comes out and it's like one question "Tell us a little about your game!" "Let us introduce the Crusader!" with the same blurb as the dark knight but with a different made up god name and all references to dark things replaced with shiny light things?

I liked warriors (what I played in eq) a lot in terms of the "spirit" of the class. It's just actually playing them that was somewhat lacking. Especially after playing modern games. I don't want the ability spamming rotations of WoW but SOMETHING more than turning on autoattack haha.

I don't think Smedley would have signed off on shit if it continues at the current rate. If people were just fucking retards though and threw down a few million on this bullshit I think he'd at least give it a glance.

That's my feeling as well. If he had come right out and said "We just started work on this last week" and then threw up this shit that would be one thing. It's something else entirely when he says "We've been working on this since September" and it looks like they just started working on this...

That's pretty harsh. Though sadly somewhat believable if you combine the Sigil stories with this current kickstarter debacle. That thread alone is an amusing read just for some of the comments made in 2001 "You think EQ will be around in 10 years?" lol

That's harsh! I feel at least 7% of my posts have been constructive.

That's kinda silly though. I want a full on open world PvP game but if someone showed me shadowbane gameplay I wouldn't throw down 1k on it lol. Doesn't mean I don't like that game type. Just means I don't like that implementation. Same thing here. I love EQ. I have hundreds and hundreds...

That looks pretty neat.

Are you playing TESO and answering every complaint with IT'S BETA GUYS? Seriously the point is that if they have been working on this September there should be something more tangible from 10 fucking INDUSTRY VETERANS than this piece of shit kickstarter and some screens an industry noob could...

You could look at it as investing your capital with the expectation of entertainment return!

I think it was more like warm fans - OMG BRAD WE THINK YOU ARE A SWELL GUY EVEN THOUGH YOU FUCKED UP. MAKE US A NEW GAME TO LOVE YOU AGAIN. brad - OF COURSE I WILL MAKE YOU A NEW GAME TO LOVE! EXPECT HEAR MORE SOON! kind fans - SWEET! brad - OKAY THE MORE IS HERE! <unfurls...

Mark Jacobs seems like a great guy. My only problem with him is that he has successfully produced two exceptionally well running and functional but HORRIBLY bland games. Maybe this round he'll pick up someone with a bit of creativity and vision and do better. Who knows, maybe it was the money...

I just wish for once they'd just have a Paladin and Cleric class and have the EVIL versions of these be fallen paladins aka death knights/dark knights/shadowknights/doomknights/ebon knights/black people/oh wait and the evil clerics be goddamned evil. I want my dark elf cleric that worships the...

My take on this is that you just have to change your interest/goals/expectations/whatever. As someone who has less play time every year as well it's hard for me to let go. At first things that make quality of life better with limited play time seem like great ideas. LFG systems, Dungeon...

I think that's bullshit. Most women I know care way more about the size of their boobs than I ever have.

This is exactly how I felt about Shadowbane. It seriously had some of the coolest and most "rpg-like" elements of any game but fuck it was a shit client. Cool features: Stats that could change your character's appearance (size) A flying race Real thievery Town creation/conquest The...

I dunno about you but I want my codpiece as armored as possible. Have you played these games? There are dick height midgets everywhere! With axes!!

Honestly I don't think anyone would give a shit besides a very small handful of people. Bring on the dong sliders. Also I'll trade my boob slider for a shapely ass slider any day since that's what I'll be staring at most of my play time.

I wouldn't mind it at all if they'd do it both ways. Like in AO you had Atrox running around in speedos in addition to the women in skimpy bikinis lol. On top of that they should allow you to customize your look a little. Like wearing some sort of leather undergarments to fill in the gaps so...

Personally I like it when it's like Aion and you have low-mid level plate armor that covers every inch in a semi-realistic armor sort of way... Then as you get progressively higher level the amor just gets skimpier and skimpier except with dumb things hanging off and jutting out all over from...

I definitely don't want the catastrophe of hacking that was VG PvP. I really liked VG PvP but when people exploit/hack/cheat to that degree it just gets to be a bit ridiculous. Not to mention some of the bugs with invis etc. If they had a similar experience to Tharridon/Sartok without all the...

I doubt there is anyone hardcore into MMOs as a whole that wouldn't give WoW 2.0 or Titan or whatever Blizzard produces a shot. They changed the game up a metric fuckton with WoW so if they have something new it just makes sense to give it a shot. If it's exactly like WoW at present I'll be...

I think part of the problem is that TESO has a long chain of Elder Scrolls games that it is following. All of which look better though all of which have equally shitty combat (I hate bethesda games personally). So people are like YES IT WILL BE JUST LIKE SKYRIM OR OBLIVION BUT WITH MODERN...

I also really like this idea of maps without anything indicating my location. Hell I still use EQAtlas maps if I play on p1999. If they don't put them in game I'll just pull them up on my phone while running merrily along for the same effect.

I 100% agree on no BGs, Arenas, Frontiers, or any of that sort of faggotry. I just do not think "team death match" style PvP offers anything in the MMO world as far as the feeling and substance and LIFE of the game world. This goes double when these things start to have an effect on the way...

I think having a bit of both a large volume of low dollar backers and a decent chunk of high dollar backers paints the best picture. Low dollar backers say I AM INTERESTED ENOUGH IN THIS THAT I'D BUY IT IF IT WAS REAL and high dollar backers say THIS IS SOMETHING THAT INSPIRES ENOUGH PASSION...

That is also another issue with keying. If you have a long chain of "XYZ is required to get key to zone ABC which is required to get the flag for zone LMNOP to get the key to get into raid zone RST" you end up with a situation where one super raid guild can monopolize all of ABC, LMNOP, and RST...

I think some sort of complex PvP system should never make it into this game. I think an alternate ruleset with people simply flagged to be killable is a lovely idea and requires minimal investment. It can be tweaked later by changes that only have an effect on PvP. i.e. charm/fear nerfs...

Actually, it's more like this: Present the idea of the project. Concerns are raised. Concerns are addressed by saying "the past is the past and I have learned from my mistakes and this time it's going to be different." Fair enough by most anyone's standards. Response is "That's...

Again I don't think the president is a good analogy for Brad in this context. I also really liked Vanguard and didn't feel cheated in the least. I also have contributed. I may remove my contribution if things don't start becoming more organized and less shitty. As things stand right now...

I agree on the less systems. I think if the world has enough content that one group cannot keep it on farm forever, that players will make up their own rules. Also, lets be honest, the group on top and the group just behind them getting dickslapped and zero loot are also a pretty small chunk...

I purchased VG and paid for a sub. That's not just "company resources". I agree with you that it cost him though. I also don't like this argument as I wouldn't give money to a charity I felt would squander it and not use the money effectively to help who they claim to help. It would also...

It's different when you are talking bout the CEO of a company who CAN steer it to a large degree, and the President of the U.S. who can express a desire to steer things how he wishes yet is handicapped by the system. Also, if Obama had made some royally shit decisions, had lots of rumors...

Another problem with this too from an immersion standpoint is a lot of useful WoW mods spam the group chat window, or worse some of the more "global" channels. This annoys a lot of people. I don't like mods just cuz I don't like extra stuff shitting up my interface, and I dislike the idea of...

I think the thing with levels and level numbers just gets ridiculous. AO had 200 levels for christ's sake. The thing is levels are only cool if something happens when you level. NEXT LEVEL I GET SOW. TWO MORE LEVELS TIL TRIPLE ATTACK. HELL YES PUPPY PET NEXT LEVEL. WHAT WHAT MY FIRST GROUP...

It's one thing to be a fuck up in various aspects of your life and then want to be a better person. It's another thing to fuck up with other people's trust, money, and resources and then claim to have changed and ask for another chance with other people's trust, money, and resources. The...

First, I 100% agree with you that as a whole something needs to change with levels or skills or anything that functions how levels currently work. Meaning doing something repetitive to gain power that immediately trivializes things that were once difficult. To me it's the same whether I am...
