  • Yes, some folks here have it right. Open Beta testing is usefull for devs to figure out what works on what type of CPU's and vid cards and such. Most players in open beta are just there because it's free and have no knowledge of game programming…
  • I think that there are to many people that don't really understand FFA Sandbox terms. What developers need to do is create bounty systems that reward players for taking care of the bad guys. Also you need to reward bad guys for killing higher up g…
  • let me sum this up. In MMO development, you run into all sorts of issues. No two systems are the same. There is definitely not enough smart beta testing going on, it's mainly fans who want to play now. Players scream and yell for better graphi…
  • I've been a huge MMO nut for too long now. The reason being, the genre started off with such a bang. UO, Lineage, DAOC, AO, AC I mean these games were absolutely amazing. I believe they are just getting worse and worse. AOC is the same old…
  • cmon folks. These forums are so spoiled by screaming kids most of the time. And it's too bad, because the majority of the people who post have good insight and a lot of good input. But there is way too much angst directed at MMO's on this forum …
  • I agree 100% with the OP. atm all you can do is play Guild Wars for excellent PvP,  WoW to get your raid on, and Eve for your community/politics. The problem with giving players freedom is that a small percent ruin the game for everyone. F…
  • Yes I have played vanguard, and yes it is very similar to all the other games out there. The only unique thing is diplomacy which at this point is a useless feature. The game is Quest Driven just like wow the UI is less customizable than WoW and…
  • This is really the same as wow, with a less attractive GUI and more realistic toons. It really does nothing new except for diplomacy which IMO is crap anyway. Same old same old. Wow is better and has less bugs. Doesn't mean I like wow though
  • you can easily make a good rig. with the parts you have mentioned. go to pricewatch / tiger / newegg and look for a barebones kit / mobo-cpu combo. or if you have a fry's electronics go there. ::125 and up remember that agp isn't as crippl…
  • Beh, This expansion adds absolutely nothing to the game. It really kicked the die-hards in the pants. 10 minutes into the new content and those epics they grinded 4 months for are now obsolete. Jewelcrafting is just as boring as all the other pro…
  • I havn't played in a while. but i am going to go back it's been going on too long. I love this game. the PvP is unlike any other I hear Issue8 adds some interesting stuff.
  • The thing about RV is that once you buy the client, it's F2P. Yes the game has it's flaws and there are tons of things that need fixing/implementation but if you play it you will see why some people love it and why some people hate it. To say that t…
  • I still think UO is the only MMO worth playing at this point. Everything elese is Single player games with deathmatches and chatrooms. The graphics overhaul was probably the last thing that UO needed. A new GUI would be nice with larger icons and …
  • Ultima Online. As it stands now it is very much like what you have requested. I believe a lot of the devs from UO actually created the pre-NGE SWG There are some great player run shards that I am not allowed to recomend. and I believe there is a …
  • Me and a team of about hmm... 18 now have been working on a not so typical MMO project. It includes a permadeath system which we believe may shake up the genre. I hate to give away too much as I am not really allowed to be discussing it at all. B…
  • Originally posted by Kyleran Combat can be more fun when its random large group vs random large group... something games like WOW and GW (and most others) lack. I do agree that combat with large groups rox the sox off of any other PvP encou…
  • Everyone seems to forget that at the base of every good rig is a pricey high Voltage Power Supply. Never skimp, especially if you don't know what your doing. or plan on adding anything at a later date. Don't know why, but everyone talks about get t…
  • All I have to say is... Being in the MMO industry and looking at all the various approaches to game design, creating a "sandbox" game is way more in depth than creating linear script driven content. I believe this was touched upon in another post i…
  • Actually you lost the war. At this point there is no good MMO on the market in the mainstream games. "because he's 20 lvls above you" right here is where you lost the argument. Real MMO's should be skill based making it so even leet d00dz may en…
  • I would look into the UO editors/scripts that are out there. It's a fun way to learn how to script, and can yield pretty good results The NWN editor is quite brilliant, but it's difficult to get that persistant world feeling. I'll tell you what,…
