I've been busy in NW, so I haven't watched the recent videos yet. Can anyone explain how they plan to go from the zone design to the seamless world?
Right off, it seems the two are quite different approaches to world building, and this switch …
Whenever I picked a race in EQ1, I always went human, even though their attributes were never the best for my class choice. Come to think of it, I seem to always pick "Ranger" for the class of my main, whether the class is any good or not.

Great article! I love my PC, but a few years ago I bought a xbox 360 controller to play a console port on my computer.
Not only did it make playing that particular game easier, but I found it more comfortable too. I think its the way I lean on…
This issue is getting blown WAY out of proportion. A handful (out of millions playing the game) of vocal people got banned and are now whining to anyone who will listen. If you ask 90% of the inmates in prison, they'll tell you they're innocent too.…
The only time I ever returned to an MMORPG after I left was when EQ1 did the progression servers. And that wasn't even "new" content, but rehashed old content.
As a completionist, I don't like playing once I miss out on any limited one-time e…
None of these are MUST haves or improvements in my book. Most of these will just serve to make the game play easier and progression faster, which isn't a good thing if you're in it for the long haul.
Some of the other posts have already addres…
How have server queues been for you guys since the patch?
I tried to log on to my server prime time last night (8:15 PM)... instant, no queue. Surprising because every other day prior at that hour there has always been a queue on my server.

Hopefully they locked down servers with medium and up from being able to be transferred to at this time, when it becomes available. It doesn't help anyone on those servers to have more people trying to come to them. Should only b…

A question doe anyone. How is the UI for New World? Is it a console friendly command setup or is it more full-keyboard PC friendly? Making a PC version with a console interface but no console version is idiotic, almost like it …

The word "server" in this context really just means "instance". They instance the whole game.
Is it an instance though? Just a small server.
Opening new servers will only do so much. Now, they need to focus on making the capacity for existing servers larger. People want to play with their guild and friends. 2,000 people per server is not enough.

Logged in right now and only 54 in queue, on a popular streamer server!
Down to 42 int he time it took to write this post.

I played briefly in the open beta, and actually refunded my pre-order in August. However, a week before launch my old guild put the word out that they were getting the band back together, so I decided to give it another go.
EQ1 is my favorite …

Well...
So far a mixed reaction, but as far as I can see the negative votes are all due to server queues, not because of game quality or anything.
If Amazon sorts o…

I've heard people say they like the crafting and gathering, which other mmo are they similar to?
I'm not that interested in the bulk of the game but an engaging crafting and gathering system can be rel…

The best MMORPG in many years - but one of the worst launches I've experienced, too.
How so? Global names sucks for sure, but from my anecdotal experience with…

If someone asked me if I needed my name, I'd tell them to prove they needed the name more than me. Essay form, I'd provide an email address. Otherwise, suck it, find another name. Names mean nothing. You are you…
I created a character at 2AM to lock in my name, but then went to bed and I haven't played yet. Work comes first.
Going to try very hard not to go hardcore into this one. I always make the mistake in MMORPGs of playing too much the first month or t…
