A lot more time and care were put into the classic content. Writing, and world building were at it's peak. It wasn't really about roping people into subbing. You could really see that in a lot of the older content - it was interesting and mysterious…

Vanguard was beyond amazing when it was first released, and for a couple years.. but SOE had limited support for it even then. Thus, the game went downhill from there.
Even the originality of VG is somewhat broken now. I went back to it and did an…
Who said the Secret World was supposed to be "scary" like survival horror? I don't think that was ever implied?
It's horror themed, and I'm sure there will no doubt be some very spooky moments throughout the game, but by no means is the whole game…
There is absolutely no reason to have a general or global chat in MMOs, especially something like TOR, which will be saturated with players. Not only does it break immersion, but people just bicker and piss all over each other 24/7. I always shut it…
I enjoy PvP actually.
First of all, I've never seen a game that was totally "balanced". It's just a complete misnomer. "Balanced PvP" with various classes is an oxymoron. It just doesn't, and shouldn't, make any sense.
What always happens is the…
It isn't a must. Balance is not that important.
This is just a paradigm you construct in your mind because you haven't seen anything else done successfully, or you refuse to accept it.
Soon enough, this whole paradigm will collapse, and everythi…
This is why I'm looking forward to The Secret World. A massive skill set to choose from, and a wide range of clothing to be unique. So whenever someone complains like someone pissed in their cheerios, then you can just tell them to stfu and try a ne…

To the people saying "it's better than being too small". lol... Like there is no middle ground between silly-small and ludicrious-large.
I will be enjoying SW:TOR (Sweater) as much as the next guy, but I am not going to overlook the really bi…

The real question is, did the maid place the "candle" in the bathroom, because she was manipulated by the Illuminati into working for Mr. Mu…
Originally posted by alkrmr my guess is that with this being the final test before launch, they are only really concerned with testing the backbone and used an older build with low textures due to download size with the increased amount of invites t…

I haven't heard anything about this "high stakes development" enlighten me.
Hundreds of millions.
The colossal EA/Bioware pairing.
In other words, the "make it or break it, how are new MMO studios going to c…
I was completely unimpressed with the graphics overall. I didn't get a chance to play that long, but from what I saw, with the lack of effects, high-res textures (seriously, some of the textures are straight out of 1998, it was actually quite shocki…

So, MMORPG.com, just to be clear... are we going to see one of these 'news' stories every single time Funcom release a couple of paragraphs of text and a sceenshot?
Because really, it's just a bit annoying.

EQ2 "Extended" sounds like an absolute nightmare. What exaclty is extended about it?
Also, how much must you hate yourself or others to play on the EQ2X servers? If one is unable to "afford" $15 a month for entertainment, then how does one even ha…
