I'm one of those people who was interested in the hype but who left after a few weeks. While the game was very polished for features and humor within a narrow field of view, it succumbed to the same problem I have with all modern MMOs: each zone ha…
Not a single mention of inventory? That's my #1 and strongest complaint: the tedious, pointless, and time-consuming inventory micro-management. There are lots of ways they could improve it. Any one would help:
1) simply increase the item lim…
General advice: I always ignore people with 4+ digits of posts in their history. I wish there was a way to automatically mute them. They've clearly sacrificed time spent actually playing or researching a game so they can write posts here instead.

I'd much rather /ragequit now, before I sink any money (or time) into whatever they're planning. I was in EQ1 from the beginning and stayed for years, and it seemed back then that every ba…
I think King's Isle made a mistake trying to take the game to anything resembling hardcore play. It's intended for children. Many of us oldsters also happen to play (I turn 50 this year), but the game should retain its casual focus. Training chil…
Carrie Fisher was also a friend to the LGBT community. She discusses her gay ex-husband in this old Advocate interview. I find it sad to see kind-hearted people leave us, when we need so many of them in this world.

EverQuest 1.
As players leveled, they gained different mechanics; it wasn't just the boring repetition of "2nd verse, same as the first".
Characters performed a wide variety of different services. You had: tanks, pullers (a lost art t…

The only thing that was a feature that the game was never supposed to have is PG Planets, what brings a lot of variants from the gameplay that happens in them to things like atmospheric flight. ... Man there's a saying I see fitt…
I think "classes" serve some useful purposes, which could all be avoided by using "competencies" instead (where you test to specific levels of... healing, dps, damage absorption, etc).
* Identification by others. When you a group is looking for so…
End game became a problem when programmers abandoned the rest of the game, so that the only point of entire zones was not have to be in them any more so you could get to the fabled "end game" instead.
In contrast, EQ1 had early zones that you would…

So, after the CitCon presentation, I was left with several concerns about how the game will be able to have hundreds and potentially thousands of players.
They showed in last weekend's presentation that common hangars…

I miss the good old days where you buy the game when its released, and if it stinks it sinks.
I think I see the source of your frustration. Founder's options, early access keys, and good old crowdfunding are invest…
I recommend RIFT for these criteria. I keep coming back to it over the years, because it's easy to jump into even if I've forgotten the details. And it's cooperative gameplay, with lots of people joining into communal effort when rifts open across…

You're assuming this question is a 2-body problem. You're forgetting the most important "pink elephant" in the room: investors.
That's why the Star Citizen experiment is so fascinating. For once, we'll finally get an MMORPG not tainted by bureauc…
