From looking at those videos it seems to be just as I am describing... They turn a random spot of land into a castle which is exactly what these shit head developers should be doing. I'm almost certain that they said mob placement is automatic and random so they don't even need to do any work other than copy/paste your shitty creation into their live server landscape and BAM job well done.
I wouldn't want to see it in EVERY game, but I think it's certainly an interesting concept that works with the model they've developed. I mean, how much of an MMO world is just empty, boring space? Why not lets players design that space and feel involved? With StoryBricks, it really doesn't necessarily matter that every area isn't hand-designed by the developers, the actual game content is really independent of that. They'll design key areas like cities, and 'Points of Interest' and they can let the community be involved in the rest.
No one forces you to build shit. If you don't want to be involved, then fuck off and let others do it. I find it tedious as fuck, but some people enjoy building stuff.
Watch them only give you marketplace currency as payment LOL! That EQNext model as your avatar is supposed to be a joke right? It looks terrible.
Um no. Arm chair developer is class, combat system, skill tree, ui, and other game systems. Things pony tail and the other soe guys are doing and pretending you can influence with bull shit polls. This is arm chair artists on the cheap because art/design/world assets take the longest to create and they just started over with reset #3 when they went to a voxel farm design.

This is a troll post, right? You really haven't read much on this game have you? Skimmed it maybe? Where's Monty Hall...
Randin's point was that once you can use SB in EQN/L you can make your own Mini-MMORPG.
I'm sorry did they NOT say during the reveal that mobs will automatically spawn depending on where people are in the game? I seem to remember them mentioning it along with some dumb orcs blocking a road or some shit. Seems pretty automatic to me.
There's no static spawns. But they didn't say what exactly causes mobs to spawn, either.
Must of missed this, when did they say sb, or even mobs, would be in eqnl? Nevermind that that still has nothing to do with what i said. even if you could bring sb/mobs in you can't make your own mini-mmorpg, you could just make a mini eqn with different scenery.
Kinda like you just did right there?
IIRC, they said there would be spawn points and how often they would spawn depending on how many people were around. Spawn points would change/could be destroyed.
I don't think they will allow you to place NPC's in whatever you make though.
If they let you use StoryBricks then they have to let you place NPC/mobs. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense.
Thing is they haven't said anything as far as I've seen about letting you use story bricks.
True. But that's really half of why StoryBricks was created - to give players control and let them make their own stories.
Also from the same press release:
Interesting.
