Also fuck item degradation, fuck limited numbers of arrows, and fuck being unable to powerlevel and twink people.

Powerleveling is another element of socialization that has been stripped from MMOs. In EQ if you needed to roll an alt and had a friend with a druid/mage/shaman/whatever they could sit there and help you blow past levels. In WoW you could run people through an instance and get some gear to help them but generally they were on their own.

Twinking is less sociable (In fact a twink often has no reason to group, ruining that aspect) but it does add a level of variety to the game that modern MMOs lack. So what if Gandalf and Bilbo twink the shit out of Frodo, at least it allows him to be a badass hobbit with a dagger.

This times a million. Twinking was awesome. People who are saying no because it invalidates low levels? YOu have already done those levels if you youre twinking!
Twinking was awesome in eq because I could pass some of my redundant gear to a new toon that I would have never made except to try out the gear on him.

I still HATE boe and bop. Shittiest ideas ever to grace a mmo.

Eh, I think levels should be done away with completely. Make a new character, twink it all you want, so long as you know how to play it.

Some may say that EQ was too difficult and that the only reason it was successful was because there wasn't a lot of choice at that time, and that it was a miserable game. But where was it written that gamersmustplay a MMO? There were plenty of free, online multi-player capable and LAN capable games back then. People went out of their way to spend hard earned cash and invest hundreds if not thousands of hours into the game. Why would anyone do that if they were miserable the whole time?

I went from Myth: the fallen lords to Everquest. I loved myth but EQ was my first mmo and I still thank/hate the guy that got me addicted/started.

Myth is still by far the best rts online game imo, Starcraft etc suck by comparison.

lol @ the "Where is Dan?" reply, which one of you fucks did that?


EDIT: Draegan, is it possible to get a number of accounts created since Brad started posting here? Seeing alot of new people and I'm just curious, maybe it could even boost the team's ego if the surge was big enough.

It would be interesting if this game took a turn less big open world and more dungeon crawler, not suggesting the world would be instanced .... but to reduce scope perhaps world is smaller and there are more dungeons... i dunno maybe that is more resource.. but I sincerely hope at least 75% of the content is group based.

Easy fixes to ensure people have to travel around and see the sights so to speak.
Make all ports with level requirements , no level 10 scrub 001 , gotta run all the way to the karanas
Make all porting toons need 10 times the xp too level as well.
That should slow traveling down

er I mean help with immersion

leveling is dumb period, I don't play these games to level, I play them for the end game just give it straight away.

I'm sure I'll get tomatoes thrown at me but I think vanilla WoW got the correct balance on solo/group content. There were many quest line scattered throughout the world that required grouping. There's that whole instancing thing but communities were still very much involved. I dinged far more in groups than I did solo.

Leave reinventing the wheel to someone else Brad,

Levels are ok
Contested contest is ok
Defined classes are ok
Death penalties are ok
Travel taking time is ok
The journey being as important as "end game" is ok
No flying is ok
Everyone not getting to everything anytime they want is ok
Ugly races are ok
Not balancing classes for soloing is ok

and here's a pet peeve of mine personally from games lately not having this,

Falling damage , indeed dying by falling , is ok.
