To be fair Gwahlur, we wouldn't take the plunge suddenly into the deep end as a small and inexperienced team having to deal with thousands of customers because it's obviously a bad idea that can only end badly.
It was a pretty odd way to answer the question, as he basically recounts all the cool and fun things he did in UO, then states that MO doesn't have that as they couldn't implement it. Not the best way to promote your game. Arguably it wasn't a promo…

I think you've brought up an interesting question about AI in other games. I'd guess that they have the capability to make better AI, but likely choose not to, perhaps because it wouldn't "fit" the overall design o…
GMTheia, if you want to know why there is so much negativity and scepticism at the announcement of this new patch, then you only have to look at Henrik and the way he handles PR.
Every time a big update or new feature is planned, Henrik will h…
SV already spent quite a lot of time in 2010 and 2011 trying to fix the prediction system, and they experimented with a fair few solutions, none of which helped much.
This suggests to me that they either lack the knowledge or the tools to fix …

Even the PVP orientated guilds will benefit from it because a focus on fleshing out the world and the PvE aspects will not just bring in some new faces, but …
Hehe, it made me chuckle. I think this kind of behaviour is inescapable in an MMO, with its frequency directly proportional to how open the build system is. We don't like anything that can upset the status quo while the going is good, and to many, a…

Originally posted by Anubisan If you spent more time supporting those developers who actually try to make games FOR YOU supposed sandbox fans, rather than trashing them, maybe they would be more successful? Methinks you have no idea how incredibly …
I don't think its the end for Rift, I can see it settling into a steady existence for a few years yet, though of course with such high overheads anything can happen.

I predict an explosion in the number of trial accounts looking to exploit this system. Id like to think that Henrik wouldn't then claim this as a sign that TC was a success at bringing new players to the game but the cynical side of me suggests he p…
Originally posted by Toferio Question, are there any reasons behind the heavy PvP focus of all the latest events? I mean, sure, kudos for doing at least something, but how come most "events" are just team fights.
