  • First to the scientist guy who tried to define roleplaying as acting and then lampooned online roleplaying I'd he/she has some learning to do about how online roleplaying works.  Or even tabletop roleplaying.  In many ways it's far more about the cr…
  • As others have said, the major thing Rift has going for it is that it appears to be "ready" to ship, a month and a half before launch date.  It's solid, it plays as described, everything "works" out of the box.  What is there is in a high state of p…
  • *Cough* Hunting one down myself if anyone wants to be so kind?  I have cookies!
  • Originally posted by Tiranor 10 hours played time for: all worlds visited, all flags and imagination bricks collected, all pets tamed, dragon slain. 18 hours played time: enough tokens and coins grinded for buying complete rank 3 set. No wort…
  • Originally posted by SaintViktor Originally posted by mrcalhou I appreciate it that it is the fanboys that are incapable of forming coherent sentences without the use of over-used cliches and stereotypes. The controls are the main reason I'…
  • No matter how you defend the game, the mouse implementation is inexecuseable.  In this day and age they have implemented a software driven mouse that only updates with your framerate, it is laggy, it is imprecise and it is pathetic.  There is zero r…
  • 10 Years ago Star Wars Galaxies clocked in at $25 million to make. at the time it was HUGE news, it was the most expensive MMO to date and considered a HUGE investment by SOE.  A few years later, EQ2 launched, at a whopping cost of about $30 million…
  • Originally posted by parrotpholk still will not happen. the coding of the game is a bloody mess It's not a "bloody mess".  When EQII launched they made a technical decision that "assumed" CPU would be the primary source of graphics horsepower b…
  • [quote]but I think I'm happier playing games on my spare time while working 37,5 hour weeks with paid overtime. Great tips, and food for thought for those that are still dreaming, though [/quote] What's funny is my previous consulting job was no f…
  • A lot of misinformation on this thread coupled with a few good guesses.  I work in the industry, particularly on MMO's.  First some basics then I'll tell you how I got into the industry after I played EQ over 10 years ago and decided it's what I wan…
  • It amazes me when people claim games like Modern Warfare 2, or Battlefield are free.  Especially when they quote sales numbers that are console related.  On the console, PS3 or XBOX360, you have to pay a monthly fee just to play online, sure you pay…
  • Originally posted by Naturalist99 in early beta it was like 70% enforcer and 30% crim. Why? Cuz an enforcer is just a crim with a tazer Has nothing to do with the Tazer. Only reason people hate the stun weapons is that they hate the extra time …
  • Personally I think APB is pretty damned good.  No it's not necessarily as good as .  And yes it needs some polish.  But as a macro game that tries to bring some focused random fun to PVP gameplay online? Yes.  it's got one of the best PvP systems fo…
  • The "fun" in this game is in the competitive spirit.  As an Enforcer, you'll be primarily taking missions to stop criminals from completing their objectives.   One on one this game is marginal fun.  The real beauty of APB comes from the way it pits …
  • Dozens of MMO companies have tried to solve the "point" issue with "story".  Bioware is not the first to make this statement that MMO's have no point and if they just had a story more people would play them.  It sounds logical upfront.  "Yeah, MMO's…
  • Originally posted by negentropy As for your assertion that "studies" have shown Wikpedia's accuracy rate is identical to other established sources. Links please. I don't believe that for a second.   http://news.cnet.com/Study-Wikipedia-as…
  • The biggest problem is the Internet. People are basically stupid and lazy, and consequently take any opinion they read online as fact. Wikipedia is a good example. A friend of mine, who teaches at a large university, returns papers to students const…
  • I have said this before and i say it now. if you play and enjoy EQ2, you won't find anything different in Vanguard. its like a poor cousin of EQ2. thats the feeling i get everytime i tried to get into Vanguard (thats 4 times now).   I tend to…
  • I'll look for you guys tonight, wouldn't mind joining a guild of relatively new returners to VG!
