Imagine reading a "review" of a car before it is built. Imagine the car is in EA and can only turn left and doesn't have brakes installed yet. What kind of "review" could you give? It is ridiculous.
If people insist on a real review of something th…

Good to see this is being titled "Early Access Review" every sites reviews should show that if they are and they don't.
I am going back to an old theme here because I don't think there is any way to properly resolve it, how d…

I never played WoW, I guess Vanguard and LoTRO were my WoW games.
I was in the closed beta for ESO and it did feel like an Elder Scrolls game to me. The combat was ok and the crafting was decent. It had three different sides and picking a race …
Does an MMORPG have an ending? In single player RPG's you progress through the game and finally "win" it; what does it mean to "win" a MMORPG?
I liked how the endgame in Pirates of the Burning Sea worked. Each faction, English French Spanish and Pi…
I prefer a complex skill set available at all times. A typical loadout might include 2-3 melee attacks, 2-3 range attacks, 2-3 crowd control, 2-3 healing and rez, 2-3 teleport and movement like flying, 2-3 buffing/debuffing skills, and 2-3 utility s…

In the end it's a good thing. The updates this week is huge and a big part of that is dealing with PKers. If you loot someone's corpse you are auto fla…

No, when something is elective that means the player gets to elect, or chose to do it or not. In DAOC the player can chose to PvP or not. They can elect to PvP or not. They can also decide whether they want to cra…
There's already a game that is totally AI powered and learns from the player and designs the world accordingly. It was done in 1985 in Ender's Game.
What we have today in games is mostly what we called an "expert system". There is a set of data a…

Point blank: Ganking isn't real PvP.
This is demonstrably untrue.
First off, "gank" isn't a defined term. Everyone thinks they know what it is, but the fact is that the meaning changes frequently d…

If you don't like the word "forced" we could use other synonyms, like involuntary. DAOC and ESO have voluntary PvP, Ashes has involuntary PvP. Mandatory, required, compulsory, nonelective, etc.

Imagine you just got your AoC key, but are totally unaware of the drama, and log into the game and PK this streamer and get banned.

I played it for a short time, don't think the game is for me. I like open worlds to explore with stuff in the distance, like a castle, that I can go explore. Or, perhaps go fish in that pond over there, or see what's on the other side of that hill.

If the game wants to have PvP as a big part of the game why not just have a PvP zone? Anybody who wants to PvP can play there; dividing it up into levels makes it easy to PvP against players of similar strengths. This has worked well for decades in …

I prefer hybrids of old like the Skald & Minstrels from DAOC back in the day. Minstrel was truly a bag of tricks and difficult to master, doubtful I could manage it today.
Which brings us to the Skald which I could still m…
