I agree. There were plenty of things about old games that were unbalanced and frustrating. Even the features that we miss were often done poorly. I remember complaining even back then that games were too combat focused and crafters were getting s…

I don't know what he was trying to say that the mods didn't like, and I don't assume you do either. I've seen forums about controversial political issues where the mods surpress opinions that oppose their own, webcomic forums where honest opinion …

Originally posted by nariusseldon Originally posted by Impacatus It's a balancing act, definitely. The easier you make communication and trade, the less rewarding it becomes. One possible compromise would be to have an auction house, but have…

Forums are really useful for getting the feel of the game and having newbie questions answered. However, I agree that they often ruin the game experience. The cynicism of the veteran players is really disenchanting to a newbie. When I start a new…

Like I said, if there is going to be a revival, I really think it will come from the casual market. Players of social games and browser games have shown that they're willing to put up with almost anything if it's packaged right, so I'm sure they ca…

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't even know why random loot tables went away, I don't know anyone who complained about that aspect of gaming. I remember as a newbie I made what I thought was a fortune during a Halloween event by harvesting the p…

I really like the term "world builder". That perfectly describes my playstyle and what I expected from the mmorpgs I played.

Yep, those were some good times. Funny thing is, as a male I would never have imagined I'd have so much fun being what was essentially a glorified hairstylist. I just picked up novice entertainer on a whim, then I thought it was kind of cool that …

Beatnik59 - That is a very good analysis. The OP was a good start, too. I still think that a wider demographic would find they enjoyed the older, more interactive style of mmorpg if they ever got the chance to experience it. I even sometimes here…

Hey how've you been? Thanks for the list, but unfortunately I don't think any of those is the one I'm thinking of.

Hmm, EQ1 wasn't my favorite of the classic trio, but I loved how diverse the world was. The treetop village of the wood elves, the mechanized underground city of the gnomes, the mountain village of the barbarians, mighty forests, open seas, islands…

If you want to talk politics, there's a forum for that. I don't want to derail this thread anymore, so I'm probably done here.
