It's probably been a year or so since I've played, and in that time I haven't seen any significant changes in the game. The economy is still horribly broken, exploration is still completely pointless, and worst of all the community still attacks eac…

I tend to like characters who look less like they're wearing armor and more like they're wearing traveling clothes as well. On my 20 elven hunter I've found a dwarven robe looks pretty decent "out of the box", with olive green and brown tones. Makes…

I like anything that gives me more control over how my character looks. Couple problems I have with it though: You can't access the alternate appearance tabs until you're level 20. I've heard you can if you have another character on that account t…

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

Danuis is NOT representative of the community. He's sort of our dirty little secret. I'd encourage anyone who's even mildly intrigued to give the game a try. It's a refreshing change of pace from the cookie-cutter "kill-loot-level" fare.

Well, the big companies are pumping millions into gorgeous graphics and popular licenses, so it's to be expected that they'll have higher hype scores. The majority of gamers are probably more drawn to that than to immersive gameplay. For those who p…

That is the biggest drawback of the game, there is no newbie guide...and it desperately needs one. The best way to get started is to post on the SQO forums, in the Crew Schedules section, that you're a new player looking to join a crew. Let them k…

I agree with KILLKip. New graphics would be great, but when all's said and done I'm not playing the game for its looks. Right now the Fleet side seems to play exactly like you'd expect, but the civ side I'm not so sure about. For example, I have a…

To me, the game gives you the chance to play out pretty much any sci-fi scenario. I've got a Fleet character who's aboard a great ship with a great crew, which has much in common with the naval elements of Star Trek or Robotech. I've also got a civi…

I'll tell you, the more I hear about the direction being taken with Star Trek Online, the more I fear I'll be grinding for my +5 Phaser of Swift Stunning or something. The screenshots I've seen are stunning, but the gameplay is sounding more and mor…

I've been playing for about a month and I'm the first to admit, the UI is clumsy at best, and yeah, the graphics are a throwback...but the gameplay is unlike anything else out there. While every other company is investing millions to reskin the sa…

Thanks for correcting me Taram, and I agree with you. The goal shouldn't be to simply make the single most commercially successful game on the market, but to make a game that best represents Tolkien's works. Do that, and the subs will come.

Every MMO has a grind. Anyone who says otherwise has simply found something in the game they enjoy enough to mask it. That's not a bad thing, of course. LotR hasn't broken any molds. To me, it plays almost exactly like EQ2. The combat model is the…

I appreciate your response Obii. I think a sandbox game is really more of what I'm looking for in an MMO. What's this about player-run shards? How does that work? What sort of influence or control do players have over the shards they run?

I was really looking forward to Vanguard, but no, I won't be purchasing it at this time. The art direction of the game is stunning. I love the design of the armors, the world and the music. Frankly, I was hoping for more innovative gameplay thoug…

I'm going to have to agree with Roger that if a secondary market is bad for the gaming community, it's bad regardless of whether it's being run by a third party or the company that owns the game. I suppose an argument could be made that gold farmers…

I think you'll certainly see the same number of inappropriate or immersion-breaking names as in any other game. Most games block names of familiar trademarked characters and obscenties, but there's no effective way to police names that just don't fi…

I sure hope that's the case Feldron. I returned to EQ2 a few months ago and became quickly disillusioned with my Ranger/Woodworker. I had to crank out an unbelievable amount of useless garbage that had limited uses to anyone and would never sell, so…

I was disappointed when EQ2 removed the interdependence of crafters. I think it was a brilliant beginning that just needed a few more tools to support the full concept. For one thing, they needed a better way to sell merchandise. Requiring the c…
