And everyone seems to forget that Brad's one of the few that has made a game we enjoyed before. Can't really quantify that with anyone else. If ya can't give this guy your money you can't give it to anyone, imo.
Every game I've ever enjoyed was made by someone, that doesn't even make sense. I give the people who made games I enjoyed in the past money all the time.

I tried making that point 75 pages ago got ran off the thread... Which is funny when Garriot's and Jacob's Kickstarter came out. This community pretty much put that shit on blast.. Brad Mcjesus comes in says hi and were all for feed back and this place falls over it's self to suck his cock.
Right now all we know is the guy who made Everquest is looking to make an MMO and asking what we want. So naturally we're excited that he might make what we want. Nothing wrong with that, nobody is really assuming what the game will be like yet.

One the kickstarter comes out and real details emerge we'll see what happens. If all it was was a list of old school MMO features it would be exciting and very different from modern MMOs.

I want myMTVMMO. Your reasoning gets me no closer to that MMO,thus it is ignorable.

I get it sort off my first experience with Brad was VG not EQ99 so color me skeptical as I started with DAOC 01 and the SWG 04. Jacobs got me good with the Hype with Warhammer and I anit giving that MF'er a dime till i see beta. but on flip side if Koster was crowd funding a new MMO I would pimp my wife out.

I wish Brad would put up a fake KS page with details like "Heavy instancing" "the Next WoW". I might die from laughter at the meltdown. Would be good pub too when he unveiled it was a stunt.

Word. Add in flying mounts at level 5, the game starts at level 100, and no first person available and this thread would be hilarious.

I always wanted to see an MMO implement loot stealing by mobs. Meaning, if you die to a mob said mob now carries a piece of your loot and you can possibly get it back if you can get back there . Mobs should want loot too imo.

This made me laugh. This thread is just getting warmed up, as far as psycho fanboy stuff goes. I'm excited to for the future(of this thread)!

This would be especially good if mobs could stealth up and pickpocket you then stash the gear in a nearby chest.

You know what would be cool? If magic worked like magic in the game, instead of just a means for damage. Let dungeons be dark, so a melee guy has to use a torch, or a wizard could summon a fire wisp. Maybe let Warlocks have summoning circles, requiring 5 Warlocks, each with a rare component, to summon some ungodly demon thing. Maybe use other things other than mana as currency for spells, like maybe health, or experience? What if I could sacrifice levels of my character to a Necromancer for something cool in return?

Rare reagents, rare and dangerous spells, etc.

And for fuck's sake, have closed doors, locked chests, and actual traps so Rogues having something to do other than stealth and back stab. Christ.

Basically I think MMOs need to go to a more... Hands off approach. The genre needs to immerse itself more in it's roots (D&D) rather than stream lining the shit out of everything.

Third person for me kills immersion. The game goes from being interactive to being a top down board game. If I'm looking at myself, then it's not my character but a 'toon'.
That's just it. 3rd person ends all immersion. If I had to choose to please both sides I would have it so 1st person was the view point in dungeons with a small scroll out 3rd. In outdoors I would have a working 1st person with a much better 3rd.

Imo Dungeons need to be designed around 1st person to keep the immersive feel.

On the issue of flying mount. Fuck that nonsense. Why waste money on a feature that makes the game worse. Drop the idea. Everyone doesn't need to get around super fast solo. If they do they can go find a druid and humbly ask him for a port. Fuck flying mounts.

I always thought 3rd was more immersive ... it could be personal preference.. possibly ?
