Remember how "Dynamic" and "innovative" were the 2010-2012 buzzwords
Well that is too old and totally not cool anymore
The new buzzwords now are "voxels" and "sandbox"
Rejoice
"It has potential"
-Second most used phrase on existence
"It sucks"

Voxels isn't a buzzword. That's like saying that a chicken is a buzzword. It's not a concept like "dynamic" or "innovation", it's a technology. It's a term used for a computed volume (3D) with a texture on it, the word come from: Volumetric Picture Element. Same thing goes for sandbox, although a sandbox definition is a bit more contested.
Nadia is right, Emergent can be used as a buzzword, because it's a concept, but from the interview I've read SOE knows what it mean...unlike most people around here.
I know you are trying to be witty, but please try harderover 20 years of mmorpg's and counting...
Certainly not a new buzzword to gaming.

i love the WAR team for bring public quests to mmos
what i posted 5 years ago in a different forum
http://www.brellrants.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7255#p479061
time will tell, the game itself may not appeal but I love the idea of Public Quests
I'll take anything for endgame fun -- beyond Raiding, PVP, and Gold Farming Grinds
even if WAR flops -- I hope their ideas march forward to other games

its not new - but Georgeson over uses that word -- the same way ANET over used "dynamic"

I was just about to say emergent is the new dynamic. Why do I feel like I've been down this road before? I think SOE took a page out of ArenaNet's marketing book. I should just prepare myself for the disappointment now........

i guess
but that was a player initiated quest series event that scaled into a larger event

there was nothing "group" about the earlier part of the ring series
