My thoughts mirror most of the comments so far. * EverQuest was the earliest MMO to really impact the market and industry. * World of Warcraft showed how big of a market there was. The others may have had some influence and impact, but…

There were a lot of downsides to the older systems. People tend to look with rose-colored glasses, but the reality of playing back in the beginning was, for many people, hellish. Hours waiting for groups, losing everything you own trying to just g…

I'm an old timer (started with text-based MUDs) and I'm really excited about what EQN has shown. I've never been a huge fan of the EQ franchise (I liked a lot of the indi games more) but certainly appreciated what they brought to the table. Art …

Originally posted by SpliceMain [deleted] Do many folks in this discussion ever log into an MMO to just hang out? I never, ever do. I am never looking for any sort of social connection beyond anything game related. Is befriending strange…

Group Play vs. Solo Play =================== Examples 1986 - Played a text based MU* game on Compuserve - Solo content only; grouping was basically two people hitting the same mob; not very group friendly and thus didn't group. 1996 - Played…

Lurked around for years before I joined. Still lurk around for the most part. Used to play MUDs and I'm not sure if the site I used to frequent around '98 was converted to this site, or this site took the domain, but somehow I started coming to th…

Originally posted by neosapience Originally posted by gjsfaun This isn't exactly true. The reason you're having trouble finding new MMOs to enjoy is because every new MMO is just a homogenized copy of the one's you've already played. …

Originally posted by Lidane Originally posted by Cephus404 I'm not the same gamer now that I was when I first started in EQ1. I've grown and changed, and have adapted to the new market and to the way that games are now because hey, it's…

I'm replying to the orignal article, haven't read the 80+ posts. I started long before there were graphics - text based games. I loved the grind, I hated the grind, then everquest invited me to alpha their game. I declined - I was too immersed i…

I'm having similar problem - still waiting for "switch" to be thrown so that I can access. I've been seriously considering returning to the game, but don't want to spend the money to see if I still like it. Hopefully they'll get it resolved so I c…

See Cortanya, posted on 2/29/08 1:18:25 PM, in particular, "The Almighty Treadmill: You kill rats, so you can get stronger to kill goblins. But, your strength relative to the goblins is identical to you vs. the rats! Sound familiar? You spend mo…

Here's what I know: Using a CPU monitor that monitors my duel-core Intel CPUs and playing EQ2, 1 CPU maxes out. The second CPU remains at around 2% to 4% usage (basically taking on some of the normal OS overhead). For EQ2 - Does it work? - yes…

I've been playing EQ2 recently and it does not support duel core. I did a search a few weeks ago to answer this question, but couldn't find any that do (only looked at ones I was interested in). If I remember right, SWG was supposed to support mu…

I disagree with many points in the article. Here are some thoughts: Summery: Most games I've played as a casual gamer I never saw the end game content. I usually left because I would get stuck at the middle-game content with no way of really progr…

Quote: I think something not as well understood is that there is not a limited amount of hero points you can gain. Therefore there isn't really any need to save them for something special, if they are used for anything else besides Wyr. (I don't kno…

Quote: Also, as far as spending hero points on extra slots... I think it wouldn't be that hard to balance. Sure, that helm gives you more slots than your ninja armor, but your ninja armor might give you some advantage over that helm. Therefore, if …

I like this article a lot more than the recent ones that were posted about this game. It gives some actual data which the last few have lacked. I was one of those lurkers who agreed with those posting about wanting more meat with the articles. I'm …
