I don't think it's vaporware, but I have serous doubts about it being anything a fan of Everquest or EQ2 will want to play.
From what I've seen so far, it looks like EQNext will be a voxel based minecraft with procedural areas to run around kill…
Why is this a big deal?
SOE has done this with EQ and EQ2 for many years, and it's a good idea. Let me tell you why...
If you use the Blizzard model, or the SOE model from 2004, you buy the game and play it,and then as each expansion comes out, y…
The main complaint people have with not being able to fly isn't so much for their FIRST run through the content... it's for the inevitable grind of dragging all their alts through it for the 12th time. Making this an achievement unlock nicely solve…
Many people seem to forget that GW2 lacks flying mounts, but it has many (MANY) respawn points, which you can instantly teleport between once you've discovered them.
In earlier WoW expansions, flying was restricted to max level, the idea being t…
I dunno. They looked nice a few years ago, but I can't play it now because some combination of Windows 8.1 + my sound drivers + LOTRO makes my sound card crackle every time I move the mouse, and tech support for this game is pretty much non-existen…
Part of the problem with the new expansion is the way they did the garrison thing. It's not really player housing, because you can't really customize it enough for it to feel like YOUR creation. And, the tiny mini-games all feel like time sinks th…
I remember not liking the game much in beta. About a year later, I tried it and was pleasantly surprised.... enough that I purchased it shortly before it went free-to-pay. After hearing good things about some of the newer content, I tried to revis…
AI is stupid because people insist on wanting to be able to solo everything, as every class.
If you designed an AI that was smart, you would have NPC's traveling in packs, where they would work together to surround the player, placing melee into…
Man, how do I get investors to give me money for an unfinished product that I'm already charging people both a purchase price AND a subscription fee to beta test for me? That sounds like a great gig!
Seriously.... it's not the job of the custom…
It really isn't that complicated.
MMORPG's have RPG in their title. Role Playing Game. That directly ties them to pen-and-paper RPG experiences. When you log into a new MMORPG, you expect to share some of that experience.
As others have s…
Put simply, older gamers are used to having puzzles to figure out, lore to read, areas to explore, and more to do than just collecting loot. Younger gamers only care about an extra +1 to their purple pants of epic purpleness, and would be happy to …
We'll see. The truth will come out by seeing if they release xbox 360 controller support for the PC version, or not. If not, then it's a pure money grab, rather than a way to give people more options.
It's really simple. Just like EVE-Online and Guild Wars 2, the gold value of these tokens will stabilize just above what you could buy for $20 from the gold farmers. Why is anyone surprised at this?

I'm amused that anyone cares.
Land is the only currency that matters in Archage. You can have all the fluff items, mounts, gear, whatever... but if you don't have land, you won't get anywhere.

EQ2 was trash for me because it was a WoW clone with 100X worse combat and questing.
I'll do one better than the previous poster...…
Maybe if Smedly would stop trying to figure out how to monotize the hell out of everything he touches and instead focus on how to make a game that's actually FUN, Daybreak Games would have a chance of turning a profit.
EQ1 was a fun game, for th…
Yep, last time I pre-ordered and paid full price for any game was X Rebirth *spit*.
Prior to that, I would say I paid full price and pre-ordered for games that I really believed would be fun, and that usually means they came from a company with a p…
You know... a lot of people spent money on another game that looked amazing and sounded awesome. What was it called? Oh yeah... Dark and Light.
Then there was that other game done recently, where a company with a stellar track record released …
