• There is something about Rift that left me feeling totally apathetic toward the game. I felt no desire to advance my character. I didn't enjoy the minute to minute gameplay. I think it was the tired old combat system and the laundry list quest grind…

• Yay! FE is going F2P. I may have to check it out again. My only complaint was that the game felt too empty before. Its not official yet, but its pretty clear that is the focus of this discussion.

• I was hoping this would be a thread about UGC, but its really just about making another PvP focused game like Darkfall. I guess that passes for "player content" although the "content" part is debatable since its mostly just drama and ganking.

  in D&D: one of the culprits why MMOs are so bad Comment by Aganazer May 2011
• The joyless quest grind is like a ringing telephone. You don't have to answer it. You could just ignore it. The technology is there to serve us, not the other way around, right? Our lives would be better if we were free of the tether that binds us. …

• I plan on picking this up once the box price drops below $10.00. It might be a fun two week distraction.

• Originally posted by Haegemon A lot of peoples user-created-content isn't good. It's not inherently bad, but it's nothing special really or worth engaging in most of the time. That is exactly what rating systems are for.

• Originally posted by Axehilt So you either want something that's "real D&D" or you want something that's "MMORPG".  You can't have both.  (or rather: the  way to have both is to have something like DDO which is a hybrid of MMO and instancing …

• We've had many games with the Neverwinter approach that are just lobbies and instances. Those are fine and fun, but not really very good at creating that MMOG experience. IMO the real revolution will be when content generating players can expand on …

• I think virtual worlds ARE fun. Simulations ARE a style of game. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

• I kinda flip-flop on this one. I like convenience, but everytime I play a game with quest markers I end up losing interest in the game very quickly. It encourages you to skip all dialog so you never get involved in the story. It creates the task-lis…

  in Would some Developer please show how MMORPGs should be done! Comment by Aganazer May 2011
• They are working on something big. Nobody that works there will talk about it. They were bought by Warner. So yeah, I'm affraid it may be a Harry Potter MMOG. Its a great fit though and may even be a fun game.

  in What gave older MMO's more depth of gameplay than modern MMO's? Comment by Aganazer April 2011
• One might be able to argue that even WoW has "strategic combat, good economies, and good social tools". What I don't like is when a game makes something overly complicated to create the illusion of depth. Like in EVE trying to figure out the maxim…
