    You don't have to flame him, guys.

    Pistols are not really fantasy. As far as technology goes,Fantasy games take place in the medieval times. WoW has guns, but that has a ong story behind it and has been incorporated into Warcraft as a central theme. It takes place in the renaissance period, technologically speaking. Adding guns would just not be EverQuest, in my humble oppinion. On the other hand, if it is hundreds of years after EQ Live, you would think they would have invented guns. But again, that is only what our culture has done. If we had magic to make our lives easier and to dwell on, we wouln't need technology or be nearly as reliant on it. In any case, I doubt SOE will want to implement firearms as part of the game. Bows, on the other hand, are ver permisable and serve the same purpose. ::::39::

    Didn't any of you ever play the Wizardry series?  The rhino type guys had guns too...but very primitive versions of them.  That was still a fantasy game 100%... image

    I think, given that they had ROBOTIC spiders, and gnomes in Ak' Anon, that flintlock pistols would be just fine, and not break the fantasy element any more than say...

    DID I MENTION ROBOT GNOME SPIDERS?????

    If you add orcs with guns, don't you just wind up with Warhammer 40k?

    lol that was funny.... coldmeat did you ever go into Plane of Innovation...spiders are the least you can compare it too....

    Although I do agree that it seems that the gnome technology could easily make guns, i like the idea of keeping it a sword and sheild game.... it keeps the fantasy feeling there and not so much a FPS... which is the entire reason i play it.

    Old world pistols would be cool... but it would just be wierd in EQ2... it fits best with the pirates though. it is in the future and all...

    Ya, then we can add rifles and carbines and lightsabers and change the name to SWG2. ::::02::

    IMO, pistols/guns do not belong in a FANTASY mmorpg. Maybe a FPS or even a sci-fi if done right and it fits the theme. It's too real of a thing... would be a terrible waste.

    Personally i like to see muskeeters in a mmorpg.

    Someone that can fire one devastating shot but takes long to reload.

    That was one part of UO2 that i wanted to see.They had them there and it was meant to be a very hard skill to develop and very inaccurate till you master it or get near it.

    ... Are you high?

    You people know what a flintlock pistol is, right? I fail to see how a flintlock pistol would break the immersion of a game with robotic spiders, nevermind things like the Plane of Innovation. Especially since it would be a restricted use item.

    But hey, why bother having a discussion, when you can just make stupid comments about helicopters, and machine guns.

    imo pistols could be implemented if they were, as stated above, old school pistols with low accuracy etc. The only difference i see between them and bows though is that they look different, so why not stick with fantasy bows for ranged melee

    Crossbows would be really cool.  I always liked it in movies when they lit arrows on fire and shot them all at once.  It would be cool to have flaming arrows.  I don't think that guns would work.
