  • SOE is kinda hosed.  They use the Everquest name and release a new MMO under it to get lots of press and old Everquest players to give it a try.  Then those Everquest players will complain that it's not really Everquest and that it's something compl…
  • Originally posted by Sizzz World of Tanks has incredible level design, its so good no one even thinks to complain This.  The style of the game means that no one really pays attention to it, but if it was crappy or didnt have the functionality th…
  • I've not played as a Premium account for months.  But I still play it as a standard account and without paying any money.  I've got a good stable of tanks from Tier 2 thru Tier 7, TDs, and SPGs.   You can play for free up to tier 4 as non-premium an…
  • Thanks for the memories CoH (primarily), and CoV (some).  You broke the mold of sword and sorcery and had great sucess.  The combat model was amazing.  Chaos was encouraged not a death sentence.  You helped introduce 'mentoring' with side kicking an…
  • To this end of not using up all of the PvE content during the betas.... I really hope that they have multple paths of leveling.  Different starter areas are good, but for many games those have fed into a main path to level to the cap without much op…
  • It's like $5 for 400 points.  160 points buys the IO License which enables IOs for all your characters.   $5 for 2.5months of CoX isn't a bad deal.  I decided to fork over the $5 rather than try to redo the builds with SO's and stuff to play them fo…
  • I've tried this game as well and played it for a few months.  I was pleasantly suprised.  It is old-school in some ways, but has some character classes and mechanics that you just dont find anywhere else.  It's nice to go into an oldschool type open…
  • Here's the 2005 E3 Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/user/chrisjmcbride#p/u/2/KQbTnNjnDds Also, I was at Gencon in 2003 and remember the MEO walk through.  Its amazing how long it took to come to a live game. 
  • To be honest I think that the souls are pretty well balanced.  At least the ones I'm familar with.  There may be some souls that are considered weak for certain reasons, and I'm sure they'll be tweaked eventually.  But in looking through the Rogue m…
  • Well, looks like the forums crashed, so that's probably a good sign there will be alot of new players on Sept 10th.  They spent alot of time in Beta trying to stress test and implementing new Layering technology, so hopefully that will bear some fru…
  • Re: Content.  Look Turbine has said it's milked almost all of the pre-pipelined content that it had created.  Moria was in development at release.  Evendim was partially built for release but didn't make it.  Lorien was in developement for quite a w…
  • Video link is a broken I think.  This one works: http://goingrogue.na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/going-rogue-vidoc-2-between-good-evil.html
  • Recently on the Lotro message boards, it was posted that someone "walked" (i.e. not ran) from one end of Lotro to the other (thorins hall to Dol Guldur).  It took almost 5hrs. At an average walking speed of 3mph, thats 15miles. Seems alot smalle…
  • The post about a vassal/sidekick/exemplar system is dead on.  Any MMO that comes out that doesn't have this is killing themselves.  While it put limits on game designs, the ability to group with any of your friends no matter their 'level' is awesome…
  • Lets say they reskin'ed EQ1...  For those that had played the game - You would already know all the zones - You would already know all of the classes - You would already know the quests Those things that were not like EQ1 people would compla…
  • FYI that's a volume 1 quest done with the Inspired Greatness buff that allows you to solo Volume 1 epic quests.  It makes it fun though, but there's not a ton of challenge with doing it.  On the plus side my guardian finished volume one - something …
  • Here's a snippet of info taken from the Turbine FAQ.  You're only seeing the Moria only, and the Moria+Mirkwood because you're not eligible for the Mirkwood only upgrade.  If you bought Moria only, then you'd be able to buy the Mirkwood only upgrade…
  • PvMP isn't a priority of the dev's.  They've said that before specifically.  But they do updates for it, and balances, fixes, etc.  There is only one zone to PVMP in, and it's not sure there will ever be another zone or instances or anything like th…
  • Start the download now.  Download the full game.  Do not use Turbine Downloader...  Apart from that, have fun!
  • Did they ever get Leagues back into Magic Online?  While I fully understand the need to get off the old limited original version of MtGO, there were a number of features that were put in the dumpster and have never returned.  Leagues were one functi…
