It's interesting to see how views have changed and how those fans of EQN before the buyout, are now waffling their position.. It's very clear that EQN is not even remotely close to what they originally yapped about that got them "best game" awards.…

(snip) I look at this way.. Since the release of EQ2 about 10 years ago, SOE/Daybreak has launched close to 10 games for the PC, and damn near "ALL" of them closed up.. Oh su…

queen in chess is not a ROLE, its a equivivalent of CLASS. Class that can take any role as ANY other CLASS at ANY time. I dont know if you played chess at all.
ANY piece can perform ANY act (move, take other…

I've always hated the 100% predictable threat combat, especially when you throw in over used "taunting".. Today's game is nothing more then spamming taunt and AOE threat buttons to astronomical levels, to where pulling agro from the tank is n…

Yeah EQ2 was based on DGC guessing wrong. They assumed CPUs would get larger, not multi-core, and designed around that. Plus, there are apparently other computations going on like wind direction.

First two that came to mind were Dune and Wheel of Time.. Dune would be more faction based, similar to Planetside.. You could make it a hybrid environment for both PvP and PvE.. The Wheel of Time I think could make a great PvE game, and disr…
We can dream, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.. For awhile it seemed that every company wanted to mimic WoW with it's multimillion subscription linear themepark.. Now it seems the focus is on people copying or trying to bite off th…

That is even easier .. which is in all chess programs now. When you are doing the alpha-beta pruning, just put in RNG .. and occasionally choose a non-optimized option.
But again, the point is that being strong …
Smed is clueless as usual.. All he is doing is saying what his bosses want to hear and believe.. If Columbus Nova went off the deep end and wanted to bring back "PONG", Smed would quickly discuss how old school gaming from the Nitendo era is …
So simple .. two reasons and two reasons only..

Until MMOs go back to being more group dependent, theres no drawback to being a dick. Once people have to rely on each other again, attitudes will change or people will find themselves unable to progress.

Originally posted by keenber I was waiting for EQN for years and was all excited about it until the reveal and it broke my heart to see what they had done to the EQ. fancies.
Graphics,combat style and classes balances are totally wrong for what EQ…

I contend that it does. I miss having to rest and worrying that we might not have enough time to recuperate before the enemy attacks us again. It was part of the gameplay, and calling it a waste of time or non-gamep…
Can we say professional epic failure.. Rosie can't even do a "slide" show presentation without a coworker telling her how to use the software, and she's management? That tells me a lot about the quality of personnel they have working there..…
ONG BIG HUGE FLAW IN THE OP's opinion.. Isn't this all based on the assumption that RPG's = "complete dungeon" type of thinking? Who said playing a RPG is about starting and finishing an event.. Sure if you are playing linear games like …

I'm a huge fan of vanilla EQ, but not so much modern EQ due to all the changes.. EQ2 I was never a fan of, because it's just a poor copy of World of Warcraft.. In fact the original E…
