What a bunch of cynical people. I thought surely a new sandbox mmo by the guy who pushed the genre in new and exciting places would garner some level of positivity. Nope.
Of course the waiting game sucks, but whens the …
I don't know if the Storybricks thing EQNext was going to use would be the solution for this, but in the case of MMORPGs, my ultimate dream behavior for NPCs would be a complete simulation of the denizens of the world you're playing in.
For exampl…

It may come as a shock to some of you, but the primary end goal for any company, regardless of the product or service they provide, is to make money. Money that goes to capital funding, development costs, operating costs, and reinvestment. If there …

Therefore it would be irrational for a player to not always want games to be in their interest.
To not always want, yes, you're right. We all want what we want. However, in the example given, the developers are making an MMO…

For me personally, I just don't play any game that has non-consentual PVP. Less drama that way.
You are obviously one of those weirdos that knows what he wants in a game and does his research. My gu…

The issue being how they treat other players.
In Lineage 2 I had a guy become insulting because we had a huge fight, won, and afterwards got into a good conversation with the leader of the opposing alliance. We …
All I want is open world spontaneous skirmishes, like the battles at Tarren Mill and South Shore or Crossroads, Kiting Lord Kazzak to Stormwind, Barrens Chat of yore (funny how such an annoyance can be so endearing when reminisced upon. Dust off tho…
To those who appear to be naysayers to the idea, I have a simple question. Given that WoW is still actively updated with a big new expansion coming out, why are you so against it? You clearly won't play it, so how would its existence in any way inco…
LFG was what turned cities into desolate wastelands, with the exception of the bank and AH areas. I loved Vanilla but I actually thought WoW's heyday was during BC, so if I had a preference between the two, it would be a "classic" BC release and no …
Man, this article spoke directly to me, as I'm in the same boat. I haven't touched an MMO in over a year, and I'm trying to figure out if I should get back in. For the last, oh, two years or so, my gaming has been utterly consumed with a non MMO -- …
Yeah yeah yeah, B2P, stats tweaked, dungeons tweaked, blah blah blah...
I want to know about future expansions and opening up the world a bit. I want to see ancient Vvardenfell.
Originally posted by Scalpless It always annoys me when people call Fallout 3 "Fallout". It's like "the Skyrim series".
It's "The Elder Scrolls series".
It's "Fallout 3".
You've never even played Fallout. Though I suppose if Fallout 3 - one of…

Yes it did! First time I played through it, I was in love. Second time, that love started fading. Third time, I was just waiting for it to be over.

Originally posted by jeffxsee Working in the games industry, I've noticed that people who PVP or PK don't spend as much money on free-2-play games as people who enjoy PVE. As a result, you will see more complaints and critical feedback from PVE'rs.…

I'm surprised no one's commented on the idea of permadeath as an ultimate punishment for bad in-game behavior. As the discussion has unfolded, it seems to have focused on the idea of player behavior being the reason why things are the way they are, …
