Why do we expect games to “respect our time” and what does that really mean? It has become a cliche and watered down expression. If your skills reset each zone then that’s a feature of the game and part of their experience and challenge (for better …

Ah yes, “Monsters and Magic”. Looks like this game will be getting the same AI article treatment as the Pantheon “Vicarious Visions” articles. I feel like the only author on this site who proofreads their stuff anymore is the lord of the rings …

I just saw a comment on the official forums showing excitement for the possibility of characters being able to swim on top of water, this *feature* even has a name, “cresting”. Currently if you enter the water you just walk on top of it? And there’s…

Nick_Shively said: I personally think a lot of that has to do with the removal or simplification of sandbox elements or life skills in modern MMORPGs. In older MMORPGs, EverQuest, SWG, RuneScape, Tibia, Ragnarok Online, etc., there was a huge a…

Also, being the least popular ruleset ever released for D&D I don’t think they’ve been able to maintain a player base of D&D players which kinda shoots itself in the foot.

KaliGold said: Neverwinter WAS hands down the best MMO ever, ruined by poor dev decisions over the years. We tried to help with feedback, but they didn't listen. Makes me sad to this day. It is now a zombie game, meaning still alive, …

The only time solo play was fun for me in MMORPGs is when we had games in which you needed to figure out really specific and interesting ways to achieve soloing in a way that was at all worth it. Certain class/item/spell/mob/zone combinations that w…

We had Ultima Online, EverQuest, Final Fantasy XI, SWG, Lineage 1+2 and DAoC. That was the end of the full fledged MMO as far as any golden age is concerned. The early days of WoW and EQ2 still had a lot to offer fans of the above but it became …

Angrakhan said: A better question to ask is why is this team so slow? I mean holy cow this game has been in development how long and they're still in alpha? I'm not surprised they're being asked to put in overtime. If they could get stuff done…

Don't know much about the game. Do mercenaries take the place of something you'd otherwise party up with others to do (as MMORPGs have been doing in recent years) or does the game not work like that?
