    Is the only way to start in the business from the ground up? Do regular IT developers, architects, etc. change industry to the gaming industry? For example, I would imagine that a MMO would require the services of a Oracle architectual DBA in the same way as a financial application like SAP. Do...

    On a separate note, to lose weight for the season just do Nutrisystems for 2-3 months. It is like magic. The food tastes like shit but it works like a charm. Dan Marino did it also.

    The issue is not PvE vs. PvP but "freedom". VG was on the right track when they tried to market "freedom". Freedom to PvE, PvP, solo, group, craft, not craft, sit in a tavern and chat, adventure, not adventure, etc. The percentage of PvP Players in WoW is irrelevant, the fact that WoW has the...

    Damn, this is exactly how I feel about WoW now. You are my brother from another mother.

    Well said Old Man. Tabula Rasa, WoW, and PoTBS and most of the newer games are well done but lack that community feeling of EQ1. The old fashioned "camping" was a nice thing. Not camping to wait for a MOB to spawn but camping and just mindlessly killing stuff. There was no need for all these "Go...

    As the father of two young boys, I care about convenience. I don"t care what mechanism you use to create that convenience. On the other hand, I do like the idea of exploring a virtual game world but I am a Gamer first not a virtual Tourist. While I am playing, I may need to go change poopy at...

    I think LOTRO does this with the Burglar.

    Keep it that way. Less is more. From what I can tell the Flying Labs Software guys did this and it has worked, at least on me. I had no intention of playing PoTBS and did not follow it at all. It really did not make much noise until recently. When I was introduced to it during the first stress...

    Price tag = $60 million. This will be as big hype-wise as WAR and AoC are now.

    The problem the Developer has is determining what looks good. I really like the EQ2 Avatars, however someone else may not. I don"t like the WoW Avatars, but obviously many people do. Debating how good a character looks is the same as debating who looks better; Ginger or Mary Ann?

    They should be ok as long as they stop using the word "Vision" now! Never, ever use that word again. Also, define your target audience. "Core" does not cut it.

    What if someone brings a baseball for you to sign? Do you keep the baseball world and the gaming world separate? I would imagine that a future Hall of Fame signature on a baseball is worth more than a future Hall of Fame signature on a gaming T-shirt...unless of course your game becomes the next...

    I meant the "concepts" that are identified in that video not necessarily copy Darkfall. The "concepts" identified in that video are concepts for a great game. I would like to see how an All Star Team like they have gathered could implement those concepts putting their own twist on things.

    If you guysmustdo fantasy, all you have to do is buy the design documents from Darkfall, put your own engine behind it and actually bring it to market. Make it look great and play on the majority of machines and you will be rolling in Groupies like the Boss Man without having to learn how to...

    I saw on Virginworlds newsVirginWorlds.com - Exploring Massively Multiplayer Gamesthat the big man will be on CNBC tomorrow. Also, looked at the Employee list. Only 1 woman. What"s up with that? Is it to keep the Team focused? Working there must be like being on a submarine. I need to see...

    Fantasy meh. No matter how good the Team and the game is the market is full. We have everything from LoTR to Vanguard to EQ2 and WoW in between. All those games will just get better and better. What could they possibly bring to the mix? Even if it they execute it perfectly how could it...
