In case it has not been mentioned before, EQ2 just launched their Origins server, play the game how it was at release.
The best kept secret in MMORPG history… EQ2 was a better MMORPG than WoW….
Now I know the Dice awards are irrelevant and shouldn’t look at anything from them. Diablo 4 should win the complete rip off award of the year and demand they refund players the 70 dollars they paid for it.
Apology accepted and no, have not played a mmorpg in the past 15 years… there is nothing out there or upcoming that will interest you.
Our only hope is that AI can be used to build experience that the current gen of developers are incapable of bu…
After paying 70 dollars for that steaming pile of a game Diablo 4, I will never ever pay 70 again. The game will need to be released for 3 months with near 100% amazing reviews before I pay that amount again. These greedy ass game companies can go…
If the game is constantly making me travel from one side of the world to the next for crap reasons like step 8 for a quest then step 9, then step 10 and it’s obvious the game is just a stupid time sink then yes, fast travel is a must.
But if the ga…
Games have already been using some forms of AI algorithms for NPCs, it’s actually not that exciting. Like many have mentioned if it’s not dumbed down then the player will almost always lose, it’s no fun.
For example in college many of us had to…
Remember back in the days when companies didn’t sit around and talk shit all day about what they want to do.. and they just went and did it? Those were the days, they didn’t talk about their budget or how many years just to test the waters to see i…

Oh I agree. I had to fight even con to green con mobs in DAoC if I was solo, which I'd do while waiting in line for a group. Later in levels I could take on orange con mobs. I had to rest in-between fighting mobs to …
EQ2 turned out to be one of the best PvE MMORPGs of all time, especially for Gen 2. You can still experience it but you to purposely not do all the stuff that makes you level really fast. Actually they may still have progression servers going on.

What I did not expect was for them to take the money and run with developing a very different product like a game engine. I can't play a game engine, why would I support a kick starter for that?

The more overreach allowed, the more crushing of innovation will also be allowed.
If by innovation you mean a large amount of resources and development time spent on how these companies suck the money out of you instead of w…

So whats the chance of either of these two games coming out then, or is this effectively another CoE without them admitting then denying it?
I guess the main difference is that CU is a failure and C…

F2P is the only good way to exist nowadays. But first you need a good game. Crappy games blaming their business model is just getting old as an excuse. Take Warframe for example. Fully f2p, zero pvp forci…
Blizzard also plans to announce a 3rd Esports event called transactocon! Players will battle it out in the cash shop to see who can purchase and then open as many loot boxes as possible. All proceeds will go to charity (after of course we take out…

What children are exposed to is a parenting concern as is funding or denying any chance-based purchases they desire, along with protecting their own financial information so their decree can't be bypassed.

Technically DAOC also had weapon swapping. With my nightshade I had 6 or 7 different weapons I would use.
The heart of what you are getting at is that old games like DAOC had a million times more complexity and depth than pretty much anything rele…

Everquest was great because you were just dropped into the world...You had to find your own way....No ! or ? or anything else, not even a map....Even they eventually ruined the experience by creating a tutorial and Crescent Rea…
DAOC was my first, but I don’t think I would go back to it as a first. Most people forget the problems at launch and how long it took to get it sorted out. What made it great at the beginning was the promise of RVR, that was always in the back of …
One of the problems with video games is that the target audience is typical young adults/kids, this audience isn’t old enough yet to understand these type of scams and why the micro transaction model is so bad for them. By the time they have been b…
