I think it was the best MMORPG to date. I would still be playing if NGE never happened.
Without a doubt!
QFE. I tried to go back about a year after the NGE, and even built a character I thought I cou…
Excellent review, but the game itself is certainly not Star Trek. It looks like Star Trek and sounds like it too, but auditory and visual stimulus don't make for a Star Trek experience. Look at the movies 3 and 5 both had lots of sights and sounds,…
Eric said it right, Risk vs. Reward. Eve will lose more players that get their first ship upgrade and the subsequently lose it and can't afford to replace it because of that very problem. The risk is great and the reward is minimal.
So they've bal…
The problem is it doesn't fit the setting during which they've set the game. You can't throw an astrodroid without hitting a jedi in SWG, where canon clearly states that there aren't any jedi after the destruction of the Death Star.
If they opened…

I'm so glad I stopped playing. Coming back and reading one thread makes me glad that I checked the forums and hype about the game before I give SOE another $15 for looking in for a month. I was a fan for over 2 years, and then Julio ruined it. I wen…
I met Raph at the second SWG Fanfest. We traded a nod during one of the forums where he said they were bringing out something new and amazing. Turned out it was the NGE, where he alienated all his supporters and ended up leaving SWG 5 months after h…
These ideal games are always a great deal of fun to read, whether it's because you agree or because you hope to poke holes in the design. What's unfortunate is that the tried and true games, games that we describe as "cookie-cutter" or "clones" will…
It's very important to note that there is no ground game in Eve. I found it very challenging to roleplay in the manner that most people do, acting like you're in a bar, when your shooting at pirates, or trying to mine an asteroid. It's out of place.…
Just thought I'd add to the SWG dissappointment that's been going around. I don't imagine they'll get back to the numbers they had between space and kashyyyk.

He's talking about a setting for a game, typically Fantasy being Dungeons and Dragons/Lord of the Rings type stuff with elves and being a long time ago.
Eve Online would be Sci-fi, typically meaning sometime in the future, Star Trek, Blade Runner…
EQ2 ran playable on my Laptop, 3.2ghz intel mobile processor and GeForce 440 Go with 64 meg of vram. And I can play it on max settings at 1600x1200 with my new dual-core Intel and GeForce 7800 GTX, I'm not even SLI.
My favorite part is I can get …
