Here is an interresting client I found.
Its basically using windows for different stuff similiar to a chat tab in the mmo's. If you took the time to make a client like this then I would also suggest that you have tintin comman…

Ah I see you are building a mud. How to fix healing.... Low cost AOE heals maybe. Regeneration perhaps. IDK I never found a good way to fix healing in muds.
Actually, having a heal that is room-based was indeed one o…

Usually you set up macros, like f1 heal "tanks name", f2 smite, etc. A lot of muds show your health every round of combat. With any decent client you can set up triggers to automatically cast when something specific happens. I u…
Doesn't Star Wars the Old Republic have a similar system of allowing players to put cash shop items on the auction house? Guild Wars 2 also has gem/gold conversions (not an "item to in-game currency" but more a "premium currency to in-game currency"…

Played this game on and off for 10 years, and I will say that this game holds a certain charm over me. It's also the game that got me really thinking about the underlying design mechanics and methodologies as well as the history of MMOs. …
I mostly agree with you there, as I did enjoy the storyline and content the in Chains of Promathia (as well as that sweet, sweet soundtrack). However I honestly thought Wings of the Goddess was the pinnacle of FFXI. My story is a bit weird here, sin…
While there isn't proof that you won't see on your end aside from connectivity issues, there really isn't much way you can "prove" a DDoS attack from your end. Generally only the person with server access can, with tools, see if such a thing is happ…
Any poorly implemented "Fatigue" System (Offenders: FFXIV 1.0's "Fatigue" system, Tibia's "Stamina" system)
Fatigue systems that fall in this category have a tendency to prevent progress or prevent you from playing. For Free to Play games I can ki…
As far as the server goes in influencing a game's graphics... that is out of the question. The most a server will need to do is tell a client where mob/object A,B,and C is.
But, as far as why graphics are toned down for MMORPGs, I'd say there are a…
My proudest moment in Final Fantasy XIV was healing through one of the craziest boss fights that the tank made in Copperbell Mines. Every Spriggan aggroed me because the tank wasn't holding hate, and I wound up tanking the entirety of it as a healer…

Why is it being data mined from the English version of the game?

Originally posted by DarkVergil Lawl, I knew this game would get a shitty rating just from playing that god-awful beta. The most generic pile of shit I've ever played.

The biggest issue with this game was that the cash shop was glaringly pay-to-win. When I tried out the game,
-Healing potions could only be bought in the cash shop. Admittedly, they are somewhat useless as they can't be used during combat and you r…
Originally posted by Roxtarr I'm decided that in 2013 I'm going to stop trying to be an armchair "developer" and just play. When I first heard of Wildstar, caught myself trying to decide if a cartoony art style would work in today's MMOsphere, and …
Originally posted by Kitsunechii I just regret not making 8 different characters before they changed it to 2 slots... well at least i have 3 <,<
If you bought the game before, you should have the full 8 slots.
I wonder if they ever changed the death penalty to not be cash-shop reliant? I remember the curse that randomly affects an equipment slot and the only way to remove it was a cash shop item. Did they ever change that?
