This. It's never been a lack of enjoyment of Brad-related projects (Everquest and even Vanguard to a certain extent), but a woeful acknowledgement of wasted opportunity (especially with regard to Vanguard) and a valid question of McQuaid's ability as a project leader/manager in the aftermath of...

Yep, thanks Star Wars: The Old Republic | Log in

^^ This. Take note, filmmakers... this is how teasers/trailers are done.

This. This is why I don't watch trailers much anymore. Either the general populace is getting more stupid, or filmmakers/distributors need to realize just what the fuck teases and cliffhangers are for in trailers and how to cut them properly. Honestly, they're probably afraid the movie would...

A completely fleshed out economy from scratch would be, well, awesome. Everything from bartering to markets with currency fluctuations. Icing on the cake of a great core game, and something for which various apps would be helpful and allow for another level of gaming away from the game. Also...

Welp, a cocktail (pardon the pun) of guilt, repression, and the security that comes from the guarantee of intimacy with professionals. I think we have our answer. Johnny, I visit the thread often just to see what's posted... it's fascinating to follow along. No judgment. I *would* advise...

^^ This. Fight Club is one of, if not my favorite, films. He may have "killed" Tyler in the film, but he finds the freedom and full state of being to which Tyler led him. In short, he becomes self-actualized, and becomes Tyler. At least that's the way I interpret it. The film is an...

It may. Going to have to visit my dad this next weekend and see if this might work in Win 7. We didn't try creating a new account from what I recall, but the admin requirements may stop it - we had a horrible time doing much of anything under user accounts. Thanks for the suggestion Cool. We'll...

Frustrating permissions issue I need help with on a Windows 7 machine: My dad, an older fellow, changed the permissions on his primary user account to Standard. Unknown to him, the UpdateUser account from Nvidia is also installed on his machine as an administrator. He's unable to restore his...

So then it's still going to be an issue for the majority of the playerbase? I keed, I keed... sort of.

http://www.twitch.tv/massivelytv/b/542640092 Thought those looking for some gameplay and information might like to see Massively's Twitch recorded video from earlier today. I'm seriously interested after watching.

Just out of curiosity, how are thieves stacking up in PvE and WvW nowadays? Loved playing my thief, and would consider going back for the ability to continue through Season 2 content as an "expansion".

In its totality, Vanguard was seen as a massive failure due to mismanagement, coding, "chunking", and empty content. Class design, dungeon design (at lower levels), crafting, gathering (group gathering) and diplomacy were pretty nifty. SWG didn't pull the numbers SOE wanted, and the content...

The streams I've watched give me a Vanguard meets Star Wars Galaxies vibe. Urgh. Think I'm going to cave and get it as well.

This... *so* this as a SWG refugee. As much as Smedley brags about SOE's new zombie survival game being sandbox-y enough to draw back the SWG crowds, if you like fantasy, AA seems the way to go based on the details (especially with so little known about the other game).

They've read the Pantheon:RotF threads through for sure. P.S. - If there are keys, I'll gladly take one and give some constructive feedback.

Seriously... *cough* Fires of Heaven guild alpha invites? Yes please!

Hey, boob-slider for women previously in *how many* games? A codpiece slider is certainly fair in that sense. It should also max out at "elephantitis." Have boob and junk sliders for both genders. Equality! Also, facial and body hair sliders for both... amirite?!? (But seriously, coming...

Actually I think it's excellent. People who don't understand the complications of an alpha, or are there simply to play early, and neglect providing constructive feedbackshouldbe encouraged/allowed to quit before beta. This turns down the white noise significantly so the dedicated players and...

This. Count me in officially. If someone would please PM me what server FOH is playing on (if there's an "official" one) I'd definitely appreciate it.

Truly bonerrific. And good to see you, Scott!

True. Adventuring is primary, but anything to reinforce fun/productive interdependence in an MMO is a good thing. I'd gladly invest more for it to be a stretch goal along with various sandbox elements, but great group-centric adventuring in interesting settings is what *has* to be done right for...

Vanguard group harvesting was one of the best features of the game IMO. One person has a specific harvesting skill that he/she can pass on to others in the group if they don't possess it. More people harvesting = more resources gathered and better chances at rare resources.

^^ What I thought as well. Jude Law - dapper as fuck.

Dear God, why...

Large corporations won't be handing out big bucks for MMOs anymore given the problems and failures of SWTOR, WAR and others. Even Blizzard got cold feet and scrapped the first iteration of Titan despite the insane returns of WoW. "Money-up-front" and cash shops will be the standard for future...

Definitely going to be in the Alpha. If SOE is serious about getting any kind of real feedback from players regarding world-building and design, this could be a step in the right direction for a truly "next-gen" experience. That and I'm an immersion/locale/fluff whore, so I'm anxious to see...

Desperation for nostalgic, unforgivingly hardcore game-play does strange things to people - despite the Vanguard debacle, I'd forgive it all in a heartbeat if Brad knocked (another) one out of the park. Plus, the MMO market is ripe for something different. Ironically, it could be both EQ:N/L...

EQ2 at the moment with a small, casual band on Antonia Bayle. It works well with my later, limited schedule, and I'm a fan of fluff when it comes to housing, appearance items, etc. I also like the fact that both factions can speak and group together. Personally interested to see the effects...

As a bi guy, I'd be interested in your thoughts on this one, K. Some gay guys I'm friends with have said everything from "You're just indecisive" to having some whacked idea that they're being undermined because I go both ways. That being said, the best sex and lovemaking I've ever had has...

Lore gives you the context and setting in which to put your gameplay. Compelling gameplay makes you want to play through about 60-80 hours of content (maybe); good lore/setting/characters/storylines give you hundreds of hours of reasons as to WHY to continue the compelling gameplay through...

Different deities, fewer deities, completely throwing out any real alignment, different races and racial origins... should I go on? I'm not referring to lore moving forward in the two primary MMOs, but the devs going back and re-writing earlier lore. It ends up making things less recognizable...

So, they're not abandoning EQ lore, they just changing many aspects of it so much they'reall butabandoning it? Tell me more. Didn't Blizzard leave much of the lore the same when they transitioned from Warcraft to WoW? They did pretty damned well in that instance, although the tweakage over...

I will too. Looking forward to it. EDIT: On a side-note, after reading all of the debate/confusion/bitching/misinformation about the approach to EQ-flavored lore, it bugs me to no end that the team felt it necessary to change aspects of the core lore (deities, etc.) and do the...
