I really enjoyed all the phasing stuff, it makes for a great storyline. The Worgen and Goblin starters are both great for example, as well as a lot of the redone zones (blowing up Redridge, attempting to save Westfall).
However, it does conce…
Originally posted by Erow Many changes have been incorporated into the game with the advent of Cataclysm. Which ones do you like/dislike and do they spell the downfall of the game? How do you feel about the constant disruption of "business as usua…
If they're replacing the old world with Cata, surely vanilla should come free with Cata...
Anyway, I recently opened a second account - Battle Chest £12.99, Lich King £12.99. Cataclysm pre-order £22.99, so that's around $80.
The other altern…
Originally posted by Hattepui Thanks for all the answers so far! If I try WoW, probably when the expansion comes, since Im hoping there will be many who re-roll then.
About the costs, I found the battlechest (original game+burning crusade) for 19.…
The THQ pack is an incredible deal. It's got like 14-15 games for £26.49 (sorry, can't see the dollar amount) and includes Dawn of War II and expansion. When DoW2+exp where on sale earlier in the week it was £20, so figured I might as well pay £6.…
Disappointed with the art style.
I've got no problem with WoW's graphics, but this is Warhammer 40K! The grim future! I was hoping for something more like a sci-fi version of Age of Conan (graphics wise). Dark and gritty.
The answer's yes, they have. The latest update adds support for Shader 3.0, plus you could already put things such as shadows onto the GPU.
In their defense, they took a chance. It looked like CPUs would just keep getting more powerful, they…
I'd just like to point out a few things (disclaimer: EQ2 is my favourite mmo, but I also like WoW, I don't get WoW stats on Xfire because I play on Mac).

If you play a trial account and subscribe you get the main game and the first four exp…
Originally posted by Asamof anyway, that's great that you're paying money to a greedy company for something that you enjoy. As long as you're getting your moneys worth and enjoying it, that's what counts, right?
Not sure how you can say that wi…

The new Halas zone is pretty awful according to quite a few people who have tried it out on the test server.
It retains none of the charm from the eq1 version.
The only po…

I recently resubbed to EQ2. I played it at launch and for 2 1/2 years after before taking a break. I was very curious about the expac so I just threw myself into it, bought the expac and resubbed. My character is on…
Originally posted by epf1 The main change might have been around the time they flattened the class system (...another moronic SOE change!).
I don't think that was a moronic change. As a bit of an alt-a-holic it got very tiresome to keep doing …

Hi guys, firstly not a troll post, just a question. Last time i played EQ2 was like a year ago, i have all the expansions on my account. Now i see this new one, they are selling it for 40$ and it comes with a free m…
#1 - Tutorial
My biggest pet peeve is when the tutorial is separate to the main world. When I start the game - I want to START the game. The tutorial should wrap around me, not be stuck in the middle of it.
#2 - Malleable world
I'd just be h…
I think it's probably hard to get shelf space back once its lost. A store orders 10 copies of an EQ2 expansion, they sell 8. So the next expansion the only order 8 copies, and so over the years it erodes down until there are hardly any copies on s…
As I seem to recall when MMOs first emerged with a subscription model it always said that the fee was for servers, maintenance and continued development.
Somewhere along the way it's just become an acceptable way for them to get more money out of…
You're talking about permalink in current MMOs though, and that wouldn't work, at least with a standard ruleset.
For permadeath to be doable two provisions would have to be in place:
1. It's harder for you to be killed. More hitpoints, states o…
Others have said but I'll re-iterate:
THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL
The "lead developer" has said on other blogs that when it is finished and polished they'll "release it" to Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment is a film studio - they don…
