This launch is slightly below average in my history of MMOs. I could list off tons of MMOs trying to appear to be the authority on this matter but whats the point. I'll just get down to business. Everquest launch was not pretty, I'm really curiou…

When I played GW2 at launch, that was the best new player experience I think I ever witnessed. I've played mmorpgs since 1998, so I have a pretty large library of games to compare it to. Earning experience and levelling up came naturally from just…

Anytime someone mentions a game as being similar to EQ1, it gets my attention. But, 1 day trial and then 15 dollar subscription fee? Very repellent. When there is short trials on anything, I rarely even try it. Based on past experience I take th…

I am willing to put up with just about any business model as long as the game is good. Subscription models are fine to me. HOWEVER, I will not take part in any game where RL money can be directly converted into power to a great degree. If a compa…

Someone earlier in this post said he looks exhausted in the videos so he must be working hard. Not to troll, but all I could think of is, I wonder if its the drugs he was rumored to be on back in 2006? I don't know what to believe about this guy a…

Every time a game comes out, someone claims they were "hacked". They blame the company. I'm *sure* there was some real mission impossible hanging from ceilings events leading to this. Or, maybe...the person just uses the same user/pass for everyt…

Vanguard at launch was abysmal. I wanted that game to succeed so dearly to fight back against the lowest common denominator WoW style MMO . However, Vanguard was simply too buggy and unfinished. Then they rushed to complete content to fill the em…

Ya, definitely a creepy little trailer. I played all sorts of the SSI games growing up. Panzer General 1-3 Steel Panthers series, Fantasy General, Allied General, Star General, People's General, Pacific(?) General and a whole bunch of others whose…

As has been mentioned, GW2 really did a good underwater aspect of the game. I just remember the old games, how terrible it was. In dark age of camelot, it was essentially an afterthought. You could only attack people above the water if you were a…

Originally posted by madazz Google didn't ruin MMO's. You were always able to search for things. EQ and UO both had their respective sites. I used UO Stratics and a few other sites when I wanted to learn something or find out where it was. I tried n…

Originally posted by Acidon For those that don't seem aware, they have recently added several new devs to the team and have been restructuring so that they can hammer out the bugs as well as release new content. They are working up to a semi-schedu…

Originally posted by Squeak69 honestly i think MMOS are at the make a quick buck stage Devs KNOW that subs are a thing of the past so know they make a game hype it and get alto of sales right off the bat then sell alot of stuff in their market…

Yeah, this game was pretty solid I thought. I played the beta and thought it might end up being one of the best games around. Then they announced that they were rushing a release due to funding issues and I realized the game was toast. I didn't b…

Originally posted by Zorgo The thing that confuses me most about this idea is.... What do you do when you finish the content? A classic server up to Velious would be fun, I'll admit. Most of us think of this as the 'classic' period of EQ and …

Originally posted by Lidane I wouldn't say never. I had heard that in the past many times about different things that came to past. Never is a strong word. The server would stop at Velious and there would be nothing to streamline, there wou…

I know I would play on the classic server right now and I can think of at least 10 or 12 people that would come back *today* to play on a classic server(old world/kunark/velious). I got them all playing again for the progression server a while back…

Originally posted by Soupstane I left EQ back when the max level was 65. While I am waiting for this to download I was hoping some folks could clue me in on some of the changes since PoP. From what I have read there was changes to the exp loss in…
