Slapshot1188 said: Subs will always be the best IMHO. No Whales. Even playing field. No free loaders. Although other factors are at play, it also fosters a closer server community which is an almost entirely lost concept i…

Some of the best class changes I am experiencing atm is coming from custom content private servers. They appear to be able to understand the true meta of the game they host, and make appropriate changes, unlike many current live developers. I hope t…

Chat AI could be a powerful tool for mmorpgs. It could make the npcs come alive. My greatest issue with playing even old school mmorpgs is the modern player. Frankly, most don't reach the minimum level of maturity and intelligence I require in norma…

I'd rather it still have a chance, than it be a confirmed failure. The recent money influx is a surprise. That's not a small amount. I had nearly given up on it. $15 million is enough to launch it. What launches is what I'll judge it on. …

I love listening to the cries about death penalty. The casuals who have lost touch with why mechanics exist in mmorpgs can go back to their mmos made for the masses and suck on their cash shop pipe of convenience. You forgot that the game play itsel…

2021 ... I stopped playing RMT/loot box games over 7 years ago, and even then it was the rare exception. You are letting them prey on you because you choose to be a victim. STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. STOP SUPPORTING THEM. 2021 and people still act l…

This technology gives private business the ability to enforce their own policies (outside of the political and enforcement system) and creates a social credit society. Your movement, payments and interactions with others are all recorded and shared…

Whoa. I just dove into the official Aion forums and damn, this biz is seriously stirring things up over there. A distraction like this can't help so early in a launch.

Remali said: Grouping is fine as long as you are not forced to it If I want to group Ill do it but if it becomes mandatory especially in the lvling phase I will prob quit the game. I understand endgame raids and stuff but there has to b…

I sure hope they go their own way with this game. The Amazon show will likely be a crapfest of modern philosophy injected into the Tolkien world as with most shows today. I hope not, but it's not looking good.

Holy crap. Just when I was wondering what the hell happened to this game, I see this. I haven't kept up to date on mmorpg development for over 4 years due to mostly playing Wow private and Classic servers. It's all so familiar ... as nothing has …

Finvega said: I was there at launch... well, sort of as few could actually play. It was the industry's first real initial launch failure, and the recovery was slow and painful. 1st day too. Those Leets didn't know what hit them in the b…

Gdemami said: Sovrath said: Thanks for listing that. I've actually requested a refund. I think it's pretty lousy saying that they have a subscription and then they have addons that allow for essentially "buying gold." I did see the ca…

Mendel said: An assassinate mission that's PvE? I don't know about everyone else, but that says "PvE element added by a designer who really wanted PvP" more than anything else I've heard about this game. It's not like other games never had th…

I played what we called 'Hardcore' in Classic Wow for the last 2 years. You delete your character on death. No grouping in open world. Can only group with other Hardcore players in dungeons. No auction house use and no trading unless in a duo (both …
