    Project Gorgon, round 2.

    If I remember correctly, the Sierra games in the 90's were a husband and wife team. I loved those games. I played the crap out of Quest for Glory 2. I had to hear that about his wife. Hope the game does well.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I think I've asked this before but wasn't sure... have they said much in regard to their end game? With their heavy EQ influence I wasn't sure what direction they would lean.... raid mob in the bottom of a exp dungeon (Sol B, Seb, etc.) or a raid zone (PoF, PoH, etc.) I actually hope they go...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I think that's an easy fix but I also think you can have a little of both. Again, I believe it comes down to what they want to be as a game and if people are going play, there are some things people just have to accept. You can have world bosses, open world spawns, etc but also have instanced...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    That's where I worry about this being a subscription based game. I think they need another model or make the sub fairly inexpensive to were people don't care to keep it active. Given their small team and how people consume MMO's one of two things must happen. One, people have to understand...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I haven't logged in probably since about 3-4 months after release but a friend of mine went back recently and said they have made some pretty huge strides in the game. Said it reminds him more of D3 than it used to but still not perfect. If nothing else, said it was more fun, simpler, and felt...

    Guys.. we need Pantheon to happen… How else will we enjoy MnM in peace?

    Could Ashes’ demise really turn it around for Pantheon? lol

    Ashes of Creation

    EQ2 Naggy server had the best PvP for a while. They kept tinkering, balancing, and listening to whiners and messed it up. It’s still some of my favorite MMO memories.

    Ashes of Creation

    Bill Trost was on this team correct? He's on their studios website but wasn't sure if that was up to date or not. I haven't heard anything out of him in a bit. Jeff Butler was hanging around THJ and was promoting a game he is working on. Maybe they'll stay away from MnM.... I need it to make...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    So reading a lot of comments and not playing in a lot of group situations, I’m assuming they’re attempting to bring back the art of pulling? I’m guessing a core group trinity is in MnM as a foundation for maximizing group success? I’m pretty excited if that’s the case. I played a tank in...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I'm not sure what Runescape did differently than EQ over 25 years but have to give them props. I've never been a Runescape person but just out of curiosity, I checked out this video because it spoke about a Roadmap so I watched it. They seem to be willing to address mistakes, make the right...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Just to go back to the "look and feel" of the world or style... I think their trailer gives a good overview of a lot of landscapes and intentional nods to older MMO's such as EQ.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Its no offense to the boxers out there... my old man boxes two to three on EQ to this day but I hope people will give the community a chance to develop before they just roll up a bot group and chip away at the social aspect of the game. That was the best piece of early EQ in my opinion and...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Have they revealed or tested any of the end game? I can’t remember but did EQ show any of Naggy or Vox in their testing? Only thing I remember in the last phase was some kind of GM event but that’s it. We didn’t really have a lot of developed, raiding guilds at that point I guess…

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    If the game does not connect with your playerbase... it doesn't matter. There are plenty of incredibly stunning looking games that has not made it. Its not that the graphics don't matter it just has to be a part of the connection. Retro style games have proven that time and time again. If...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I think the charm of the graphics will come down to the connection the game makes with the playerbase. Being a good game covers a multitude of sins. They're not awful by any means and I believe they're trying to create a certain appearance and artistic direction that would feel like a game...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You bring up a great point and a core memory for me… I remember heading to upper guk early in my EQ days and I ran into two guys just chilling outside waiting on to fill their group for Lower Guk. They looked unreal and I was really hooked from that point. I wanted to look like them and go to...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    it was mainly quote from a friend I believe trying to differentiate a former EQ player trying to articulate the difference between these MMO’s that are being discussed among a lot of former EQ players. I think what he meant was MnM is more aligned with what EQ “was” and Ashes is a direction...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I'm going be slightly hypocritical since it was brought up... I've always been a person that has really cared less about graphics as I'm a believer in a good game is a good game. Games like Minecraft, Valheim, and a ton of other games mobile and PC a like have proven its more about an artistic...

    EQ TLP 2025 Fangbreaker Expanded Start Resource Hunter Legacy Characters Encounter Locking

    Sure its dead or at least in a type of coma that really no one expects them to wake up from but its more about the treatment of the IP itself. I think one of the most popular trends in gaming at the moment has been the remastering of older games. Not that those games were dead in fairness but...

    EQ TLP 2025 Fangbreaker Expanded Start Resource Hunter Legacy Characters Encounter Locking

    Completely understand and I realize that... still its hard not to say it out loud. It really makes you wonder just how much their parent company is interested in actually leveraging their owned IP's to create a profit. I accepted they were just going to suck the life out of the game as they...

    EQ TLP 2025 Fangbreaker Expanded Start Resource Hunter Legacy Characters Encounter Locking

    I know I’m speaking into the void but why not learn from THJ’s success at least a little and stop looking so much into timing and expansions but rather actually into bringing some creative adjustments to the game? I’d rather they swing for the fence and it go down in flames than rehashing then...

    Project Gorgon, round 2.

    I had completely forgotten about this game… Wasn’t this started by like two people? Good for them and their team. Maybe it will find a niche.

    Ashes of Creation

    I'm not suggesting anything of that sort... I'm really just sharing a concern about the flow of available, completed games which is really a more exaggerated issue because your more long-term investment games are not so long term any more. Again, this may be a "me" problem but I have many more...

    Ashes of Creation

    I think you bring up a major point that I'm sure we are all aware of and is my biggest disappointment of all... there is just really nothing to play. Even WoW for our guild just doesn't keep us entertained very long. We get through normal, then heroic, and quit. The unfortunate piece is...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I really like their team. I don't know if their game will amount to anything but I like their updates, roadmap, and they seem to balance their vision with player feedback well. I don't know a lot about their team but as much as I appreciate Valheim and love their game, I wish more games...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    For whatever reason, we fired up D3 again and been playing through the new season. Forgot just how fun it is and how far that game had come over the course of its time. I've been seeing some D4 comments that it has improved quite significantly. We'll complete the D3 season pretty quickly...

    Ashes of Creation

    Thus far.... do you guys think it's worth the $40-ish listed right now? I've probably invested more for less but heading into some vacation time so looking to kick around on either this or maybe the EQ expansion. I haven't played anything since THJ...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I have always felt that way about FF14 but I think its intentional and also seems to be ok with their primary audience. FF14 is a solo-RPG with MMO elements sprinkled in. That's what I tell myself. They put an unbelievable amount of time and resources into their story (MSQ) and it shows. I'm...

    Ashes of Creation

    Honest review? Understand its Alpha but I stopped following the game after some of their changes but what would you all say is the theme of the game? Is it an attempt of a modern take on an old school MMO? Is it WoW-esque? I had thought they wanted to be the next evolution of EQ1/EQ2...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I've wondered about the end game. I haven't seen anything but I keep playing early game over and over again. They may not even have an end game yet but I'm curious if they're going to have some open world Vox/Naggy type deals or a PoF/PoH approach where you have an end game zone with bosses...

    Metroid Prime 4:Beyond

    Really enjoying the game thus far. Game is beautiful. I know there is better but something about the environment and the color choices that really makes this game aesthetically pleasing. Some reviews say not enough encounters and some say not enough puzzles. Personally I think there are some...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Appreciate it! Laurion's Song really felt random and disconnected and then when I saw this expansion it help like they tried to connect to something again. It seems like its totally being ran without any idea of direction.... shame. I always felt like EQ lore was interesting and even underrated.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    LOL.... It was probably silly of me to think that EQ had something to even talk about or that everyone had even been keeping with the lore. All EQ has left are some random tangents to speak about.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Maybe I've reached a new level of gaming bordem but what's going on lore-wise here? Are they going back to the planes? Can gods be "murdered"? (Why couldn't I murder some of them in PoP? lol) Anyone keeping up with Live nowadays? I can't even imagine what EQ is like now but at least I knew...
