what i meant was they introduced a server on shadowbane that would be constantly resetting every few months, i think the name was cataclysm. It lasted for one cycle and never reset because there wasnt enough interest in it. Crowfall is just expanding on that original idea which didnt work out to start with.
The life cycle of Cataclysm was basically a lot of people played at the start then went back home to whatever server they usually played on.

Yeah I think that's the biggest question in this game that we won't answer until it happens. If you reset player progress, will the players want to replay it? I think it'll all depend on how fun the actual game is. For all its fun points, leveling and building a city in Shadowbane sucked balls. It only got fun when you could pvp after that point.
So they made a new server and never reset it and people left? I don't understand how that's the same thing at all.
You've formed way too many opinions about the game not based in reality already. I don't know where to start to untangle all of them.
1) They've mentioned guilds and dregs in the same sentence.
2) They've said there will be multiple win conditions and variance of rewards that scales with the time you've spent in campaign.
3) Free for all is just that, not hard lines of who you can fight. 3 Factions will be exactly that. Hard line of who your enemy is. GvG might have other mechanisms that support guilds and not individuals where guilds are the victors and not individuals.
I mean do you really think that a campaign, that takes months to complete will come down to only 1 person winning and everyone is a loser? Did you seriously think that is a thing?
Tank, DPS, Support(cc, buffs, debuffs)
Not that there isn't any healing, there isn't a archetype that revolves around it.

Well, what's different here is going to be the procedural generation. I'm sure the Shadowbane server had a static landscape and set of resources right? Constant exploration really isn't fun if there isn't new stuff to explore. This game will live and die by it's procedural generation.
*shrug* I guess my understanding of how words work is different then yours. You see, I thought free for all would mean free for all. Not "sorta free for all.... well... I mean, unlike the guild versus guild you have friendly fire but you still win as a guild so we should call it free for guild...."
I guess I figure the names for their rules sets actually mean something.
So yeah, I do think that whatever you win will be based on individual performance. The fact that you don't boggles my mind.
1) I never said you couldn't be in a guild, that doesn't mean that winning still isn't based on personal performance.
2) Never said there weren't multiple rewards but you know they are going to have a first place even if 1-100 get the same reward.
3) So you agree that GvG has guilds as victors and FFA has individuals? I'm now totally confused because this is exactly what I was saying and you are implying the same thing.

Not to mention Lifesteal was on some early shots of gear pre-kickstarter as a primary stat.

Of course individual performance is going to be a factor. I never said it wasn't. Maybe I misread what you wrote, but it seemed like you thought only one person won and that was it.

I just want to know how they are going to make collecting resources fun. Are mining nodes and such going to be in cave systems with monsters or something entertaining? Also I am getting a very MOBA vibe on how they are going to do healing. Healing abilities that will make a huge difference but not a wack a mole click fest.
