different spelling. and i've been on this board(s) longer than you guess.

loved Sierra. different types of companies. at the end Sierra, like AOL were farming out for talent and titles.

dude is at the least a survivor. its fun to speculate how he lasted so long. Smed was pushing ideas on F2P back in 1999. thats the kind of mind he has.

not on the level of what was being done at Verant. not even close.

WoW was also greatly influenced by EQ2 which had been in development since Kunark. I think what UT is trying to say is EQ couldnt help but be innovative. and that extends to the business side. innovative does not necessarily = great, efficient. you would think with all that Japanese money...

good stuff, but what gaming studio was out there on the level of SOE for online gaming for them to model? nobody. everything that was done was new. were there mistakes? yes. were improvements made? yes. and you see some of those improvements were carried over to Blizzard. and you saw...

the writing is on the wall over Smed, have much to say about him, both good and bad. but will wait for his day of reckoning. though i expect he'll look for an escape pod with a nice parachute.

funny revisionist BS. Were you alive back when work was being done on EQ? you know the days of BBS chatrooms, AOL, Dialup, and MUDs ...before every computer had a 3D card. Your rant reeks of jealousy. I suppose you also have an axe to grind with Zuckerberg, Anderson, Musk, and those dude...

define work.

some of the guys let go today were there when i worked there...ages ago. the game industry is not for everyone. i started looking for my way out right before Luclin was released. I was worried EQ was a 1 trick pony, games like SWG and PS were in development, the studio was buzzing with...

did not see Sparkles name in the credits, did she resign?

nice music. project seems to have legs still.

i guess i should ask for my money back.

Has something changed with the forum? did they do a mass banning of accounts? after a year of posting I am unable to reply or create topics.

i feel sorry for anybody who put serious money into this game, money misallocation allegations aside . being as diplomatic as possible, but all the screens I've seen are horrible. they are not on par with what would make a successful kickstarter reboot. as long as Sparkling and her family...

looks like Sparkling is still working on her project:Official website for Visions Visionslast update July 22 2014. anyone download and play yet?

tried to do Kuat like that, it just gets so boring.

Bard was awesome. too bad they were so easily exploited early on and into APW before someone let the devs know. The Shaman Class was pretty exceptional too. The only classes that i thought were pretty lame were the druid and warrior. also did a raid really need two PSI?

and this is a valid point. i had a mid tier system for beta as well

thats fine. the pc i used for Beta was built specifically for Vanguard. you've seen my beta screenshots, does it look like I'm having any problems? here are some more

logged in for a few mins the other night, game ran worse than it did for me in Beta. doesn't matter now...but they sure let that game go.

pop is pretty good on Begeren Colony (West Coast RP) heavy at times.

i pvp pretty much exclusively over 8 different toons, all of your Warzone Commendations at low levels should go back into planetary, so you will be upgrading your gear every 3 or 4 levels. the extra's should go to buying purple artifact containers. right before 55 you will want to max your...

Here are some screenshots: Camel is from an early Beta, the other shot was sometime after the game went live.

believe it was 35 million for VG, and close to 100 million on WoW.

you forgot the primary motive for some of their crew; learn skills to push along their Christian MMO. i think they are getting a pretty good crash course.

didnt they try to make a game on the old FOH board?

warhammer online in space. works for me!

V4 of MTGO is a piece of shit. what a debacle. even if they squashed the bugs the UI is just a pain in the ass. how could they fuck up this cash cow.

sure VRI did exist, but not as a public or private corporation, and there did not have the same legal responsibilities and benefits that those companies enjoy until 4/1/14

I like the way you think, your argument centers around the issuance of stock. legally stock in a private company may not be recognized until the C-Corp is formed because on paper there is no company. this is why the timeline becomes very important between the dev teams departure and the...

Control but not ownership.The prosecutor must show that the owner of the property, whether it's a person, organization, or group, entrusted or gave the money to the defendant, or otherwise allowed the defendant control over it. In short, the defendant rightfully had possession, but not...

legally Misappropriation means something. otherwise it's called balancing your checkbook.

you are correct in regards to the failed kickstarter. however my point does revolve around any/all monies generated by the project. The question i have: is it possible that the missing money= tax money? i'll bet that number= your lost money.Understanding IRS 6050W of course Brad and his...

your way off, Paypal's business accounts are hit by the IRS, and i can tell you that VRI had a business account with PayPal because that's the only way they could setup a recurring charge. so all the money that is brought in will be taxed. also I donated to the cause. my donation per...

your right that wasn't why i posted the PUBLICLY available business information. VRI filed their petition on 4/1/14 , it means something or doesnt.

having your home in a living trust is a good idea for some people.

Company was formed 4/1/14 interesting...

Cedar, SOMEONE is going to pay taxes on the KS. Given money? as in 'Gift" were they not "employees" or "contractors" look playing around with a few thousand dollars here and there...IRS isnt going to give a shit, but when you start talking about 400k...well then you have bigger...

yes..... VRI will still be on the hook for that large tax bill. how much money did you say is unaccounted for?California Corporate Tax Rates - 2014
