I don't think that MMORPGs have to be either/or. For all its faults, I enjoyed both aspects quite a bit in WAR. Bastion Stair, Lost Vale, and Temple of the Vulture Lord were cool, fun instances. They looked good and while they didn't have any mech…
Lineage 2 moment for me as well. Back in the early days of the game I'd been leveling an Ork monk and playing some dwarf trade/farmer characters on the side. That was my first foray into MMORPGs and I was still learning the ropes. I spent weeks p…
The way I see it, the CoaS model isn't so much the problem in endgame style MMO's, it's the way it's implemented. Currently, the common model is to start raiding needing 10 carrots to prep for the next tier, but to go from the hypothetical base rai…
This is a very interesting topic and one which I've mused over myself. How to put more story, more role, in the rpg aspects of MMORPG's. I think the weakness of most games is in the generation of the characters themselves. Companies tend to be fa…
Really a shame, this was one of my favorite seasonal events. Every year I'd log in late at night after work and venture out into the pvp lakes to hunt down giants.
I had a blast soloing these massive brutes while scrapping with the occasional lik…
There are SOOO many people on the servers it's crazy. Playing on Magmeld and it's packed to the rafters. Makes me feel good to see people playing nice, especially in a game where you CAN try and kill anyone at any time. Faith in humanity +1. I'v…
I'd say give it a couple days. With as much renewed interest as GoD has brought to the game I'm sure the forums will be aflame with lots of other people having the same dilemmas.
Kinda makes me scratch my head wondering why they got rid of the starting villages with GoD? I played L2 at launch and thought the starting areas were really cool, especially loved the Orc village with it's massive totem in the town, sooo cool.
OP is overthinking skills in TSW. Leave the skill system be, its simple and elegant and FAR superior to all the spoonfed handholding class crap we've been fed for years. Also keep in mind that there will be archetype templates available for people…
From a drafting perspective, isometric views offer a quick and dirty representation of a 3d environment. A true 3 point perspective of the tomb would more accurately represent what appears to me to be long, sloping passages in the tomb that only ha…

I'm gonna say Wizards of the Coast. Magic the Gathering is the coolest world that's never been fleshed out and I've always wanted a more in depth experience there.
I'd be all for age restricted servers in some games. Would have to be a game with a robust population, such as WoW, but if they introduced a 30something+ server, I'd possibly resub. Just makes sense to want to be around people of similiar interest…
I know exactly how you feel. I LOVE FPS's, but I'm almost 40 and just can't compete with the twitchkiddies the way I used to. This has always been the draw of MMO PVP for me was that it's inherently slower pace gave my knowledge of tactics, game s…
I really like this idea, and see it as one of the next big advancements in the genre. Another option that I think would be a good stepping stone in this direction would be for a AAA mmorpg to release a modders toolset and just have a contest for us…
