I like the concept. I think there is something to this idea. However, the video doesn't look very promising.
The miniatures need to be smaller scale (half the current size or smaller), or else the tablet is going to have to be huge.
Worst of all, …

Hopefully it's similar to Chivalry, but without the dumb "dragging" mechanics that ruin any chances of Chivalry catching on beyond a very small niche.
The word is that the game is really only playable with a controller.…
Dark Sun is a really cool/weird setting. It has that old 2nd Edition feeling to it. So specific and strange.
It was also meant to be a brutally difficult world. Kind of the hard-mode of D&D.
I played it.
It was a weird experience. It was such a long time ago that I have a hard time remembering details (don't get mad at me if I misremember something), but if I recall correctly it didn't feel a lot like a modern MMO. It was more like one…

This game had so much potential and then "The Land Rush" occurred and I rage quit shortly after that. Housing was so unique and awesome but not any fun to acquire even with a large guild helping it just too much time and work to get…
The closest thing that I have played to a pure sandbox is Minecraft, but it isn't an MMO, and it isn't 100% pure sandbox (in survival mode anyway). I have, however, played some very very "open world" MMO's--Asheron's Call and Darkfall spring immedia…
And yet the first Everquest, in spite of its name, was the most successful MMORPG made until WoW. And speaking of WoW, "World of Warcraft" is not a "proper, lore-centric, RPG name."
I realize that I am replying to a troll account, and I shouldn'…

That list is why. WoW has made more money than any other video game in history. Furthermore, there is no other MMO even in the top 10. It's all about the money.

Interesting. I just wish they would release more info and screens rather than more of this kind of thing. I need to hear about the rest of the classes!
Marketing guys seem to love nothing better than to string people along. heh
MMORPG is not generally the place to get a feeling for how popular is going to be until it gets a little closer to release than ESO is now. Most people who enjoy games avoid the forums, etc. here because of all of the negativity and elitism, so that…
I'm not sure it is necessary to balance PvP on a class by class basis, but that does not seem to be the issue discussed in the article. At the level of factions a game should be at least roughly balanced.
Losing every time you fight a thief but win…
All of these mechanics are preliminary and contingent on testing/iteration. I don't know that Goblinworks has written much in the way of actual code yet.
For the people who dislike PvP looting, the important thing to realize is that if you have …
The formations are going to be tricky, mainly because you are starting out on something pretty complex and new for MMO's without much history of systems that have been tried before to draw on, but if they are done well they could make this game, and…
