Inc Trex with some profound contributions about dicks in another thread

That is exactly what I did. I said wtf, WoW? Child"s play. A few weeks ago I started playing and am having a blast with it. Gameplay aside, how people perceive your game (before actually playing it) is going to be incredibly important.

Please make raid content contested. There"s nothing like the glory days of EQ.

God I missed the boat with the DnD stuff, wish I was into that stuff back then. I think you have some great ideas there Fog. I don"t think it"s very feasible due to class-balance-bitching but good idea nevertheless.

Hell yes. But I hope you just didn"t equate R.A. to Tolkien

lol, that was pretty good.

Good luck getting the players association to sign off on that one

regifting sucks. I got a broken coin collector last year. Whatever you do Ngruk, please make raiding more than a few lame groups. I know 72+ man raids will probably never happen again, but there sure is an awesome feeling when you down a big badass mob with like 40 other people, a collective...

Pretty good comparison. Now how to implement it?

Well, for one I do thoroughly enjoy the raid mechanics of the past few expansions with original EQ, it is completely different from the raiding days of old. It is a little more twitchy, but not too crazy, takes a lot of coordination. I would like to see that implemented into other aspects of the...

First thing i"d put in is Aradune is Stinky. EQ really hit the nail on the head with that one.

I was thinking more Kunark thru Gates of Discord. (Fast travel will be necessary in any mmo nowadays, imo).

Because Draegan told the devs to cater to retards (and it worked!).

EQ1 (this is where you say go play eq1)

Why not find some middle ground? I"d venture a guess that most of that 90% are all first timers that were introduced to MMO"s w/ WoW, and they don"t know anything but the easy button. Develop both, start everyone out on easy mode and make the game more hardcore as the primary audience gets...

I"d still prefer EQ"s quest methodology. It"s pathetic that spoilers aren"t even necessary in new MMO"s (other than raid strats). To Draegan: I happen to think it worked very well in EQ1.

That pretty much is exactly how I feel. I guess my problem is not that you can have a shit-ton of quests, it"s that you NEED them when you have the shopping list shit you described. I"d rather not have the shopping list shit quests and not have to worry about a quest limit.

I can"t really say. I like the feeling of a longer more drawn out quest that doesn"t tell you exactly what to do and have a neat little checklist to hold your hand. Make the reward bigger for a quest that uses your brain. Simple kill 5 bugs quests don"t really do it for me. I realize that"s...

Here"s an example why I think there should be a harsh quest limit. Last night I was playing WoW, this was only my 2nd night playing it ever. I logged on my freshly made paladin and grabbed some quests. Within an hour I had about 12 quests and had completed roughly 10 others. Now obviously...

Just use the current death system that EQ has. It"s pretty damn good imo. Not overkill, but you still don"t want to die. Don"t want to do your CR? Fine, but you gotta drop Xhundred plat to summon your corpse, and then you need to find a rez or eat the xp (unless they"ve changed something in...

I hate durability, but if you need a money sink, that works pretty well. I am more in favor of harsh death penalties. A permanent xp loss is good and corpse run is pretty much necessary. Use corpse summoning shards as another money sink. Death needs to be godawful, not trivialized.

i didn"t blend b/c I think they are the same, I just have no clue what any of that shit is. I guess i need to get a myspace account and wear makeup or something.

am i the only one who has never heard of steampunk and cyberpunk? sounds like some of that emo shit or something. damn, i"m getting old.

Curt - if the rumor is true and he is leaving/left, hire Gallenite from SOE. That is all.

We need a real announcement Curt, none of this "we"re announcing that we"ll be announcing something soon!" hype What engines are you looking at?

There you go opening a can of worms.
