Just started playing GW2 again after 1 year break, having fun. I won't be playing hardcore like I was a year ago due to work. But I'm happy to be back. It's a beautiful game with one of the better action combat systems out there that is smooth an…
From their twitter: "2000 of our Lifetime All Access Memberships have sold, and 2000 remain. Get yours before they're gone"
I'm not one of those that'll buy the lifetime from Daybreak. But I do know EQ playerbase have deep pockets. I wouldn't do…

Looks like Daybreak is unaffected by this:
Update #5
Massively OP has been informed by a trusted source that Daybreak’s claims that it was owned by Jason Epstein, not Columbus Nova, for the last three years are actually true, if conf…
What's cool is that these investors are old friends of Mark Jacobs, Mythic, etc.. some of the old investors that also invested in DAOC before. This isn't a takeover investor like Columbus Nova who bought SOE, renamed to Dayberak, fired a bunch of p…
WAR was fun, I really liked their class concepts, their introduction of public quests to the MMO genre, and the fact that we could level while doing PvP instances rather than be forced to grind PvE. I played the game for 3 months and enjoyed it whi…
Um there's nothing wrong with companies telling you ahead of the time when a big announcement is going to be made. No different than checking Google news in the morning to find out the date of a big Apple announcement for a new product. If they di…

People always want more grouping, that isn't the problem. The problem is when there's no groups to be had, or when people start to trickle into guild-only niche groups, then people start to hate group content because they can't find groups.
Groups…

Anarchy Online launched with instanced missions tailored for solo or group in 2001.
You are right about AO, I just have never really counted AO in since it wasn't your standard fantasy MMO like EQ, AC, DAOC, WoW, etc.. …
EQ is still actively being developed, with expansions and patch updates. Plus they finally bought into the whole old school experience players have asked for so they've been releasing classic progression servers on a yearly basis for many years now…
Doesn't surprise me, this site has a large chunk of old school enthusiasts eagerly awaiting for the next old school remake. Where as for players actively playing other successful & popular MMO's out there, they are on other sites/forums and don…
GW2 is a good example of a hybrid action combat system. It uses tab target, but you can cast while moving and there's an active dodging system for evades. The best part is the combat is smooth, it feels responsive and animation is great.
It was a…

Instance were a solution to a very real problem. When games revert to the instance-free environment, in an old game or new, the problem can re-occur.
EQ didn't invent instances, unless you count the EQ concept of 'zones' as an abst…

EQ had - and still has to this day - PvP servers. Back in the day I think there were over 20 - more PvP servers than DAoC had in total basically. Various different types as well.…
To the OP, instances were created to solve a lot of the issues you brought up where elite guilds and elitist players bullied others. I know EQ players always hated the introduction of instances, but it was the only way to ensure 95% of the playerba…
