Young people making games of all kinds, of which there are plenty. Instead ridiculous amounts of money go to people like Mark Jacobs, and Richard Garriot. They've had their 2nd and 3rd shots. It is just throwing good money after bad.
I don't disagree about the first kiss thing being over.. I will say each game allows for a different experience.. EQ has a lot of fond memories for me but so does vanilla wow.. People also look to VG with fond memories. I think where people are hopeful about the kind of game they think this can be.: that's different for every person.. But, like I said, if they do dungeons well and put in a fun class/combat system, fun times will be had.
That is exactly my thoughts every time you post the same drivel over and over every page or two.Why do you give a fuck since you obviously aren't pledging?
I don't (or haven't been rather) follow this thread very closely, but nearly all of the Tad's posts that I read were about the glory days when things were better just because. OT/DT and non-instanced dungeons are a tiny part of what he prattles on about.
The weird post is word for word (almost) from on old fohguild post. Denaut is trolling, I like how his initial post was "I sure don't like talkn' smack but" and then proceeds to slam brad with info we are already know about.
I'm not saying that they "can't" put it together, I am just saying that the experience won't be like EQ. It would be like Rift, or Vanguard, or and of the dozens of EQ clones people put out in the last 15 years. Making a new one is pointless. If any old school MMO deserves a reboot it wouldn't be something that has already had dozens of them like EQ, but something that hasn't already been tried many times like UO.
It's not nostalgia or rose-colored glasses. Like I said previously, there's a reason the LtTP remake was game of the year. It's because retro game design is just plain fucking better than the new steaming piles this industry serves up.
So Brad kick starter is the last bastion of hope for the young generation of MMO devs to be fucking please hyperbole much... If Brad doesn't get funded the industry well wash its collective hands of that hack and keep rolling on what did zenimax pay for eso, EA for Swtor..shit if you need to see if a market is still there for a relic designer look at MJ kickstarter obviously a market is still there just not for hacks..
I love retro games, and retro designs. Hell I am working on one right now. That doesn't mean that every aspect of every retro game is good. And EQ is hardly a "retro" game. It has had more iterations than just about any other style of online game in the past 15 years.
Boozecube just trolls. Same post spammed over 40 pages. Him and like 4 others. I like Ut calling out bullshit but all these Johnny come lately guys just trying to shit this thread into the shaw
No one has mentioned anything outside of EQN even considered for production. Which means we won't see anything for at least 5-6 years. What does that tell you? It means the likely scenario is what I've been saying: we won't see anything for the next decade, til 2024, or even beyond.
No. It hitched because it had to load all the art assets from disc - no occlusion - when you chunked. That's why SSD help a ton with performance. There were other issues but this was the bug one.
Not to piss in your cheerios, but vanilla WoW was a labour of love just as much as EQ was, if not more (the attention to detail was maniacal), with a larger budget a larger team and well known software house that has always delivered quality products. Saying WoW was justa game that tried to fix problems (which ironically enough was exactly what doomed EQ2 to having a low population forever) is wrong on many accounts. Also, 800k are nothing, unless these guys make a living in other ways and use this money only for assets, I don't see them publishing a shit, not even a playable alpha build.
Providing a project that people want and will buy isn't a fluke. If that is the case, then Windows is a fluke, the IPhone is a fluke, Android was a fluke, and so on and so on.
Not trolling. I just know what I am talking about and have opinions I don't mind sharing.
I've always respected your opinion dude. I know you're just trying to temper expectations.. I'll say the things that I enjoy in an mmo, like adventuring for a rare spell or epic are in this game.. We all have different reasons for why we play mine are much smaller than you would think but greatly overlooked by today's mmos.
