For the most part this article consists of: words words words, we hate grinding, more words.
But I'm glad he pointed out the fact that the standard "grind" in MMORPGSs comes from a paper and pencil game that most MMO gamers have never played. I t…
but the EQ progression servers will have all the same "rules" as far as combat and functionality goes as all the other EQ servers.
The "classic" aspect is that the players will have to unlock everything as though the game is starting fresh. so th…

I swear, watching SOE is better then most TV shows.
From the EQ2 forum:
I'll start off by apologizing for not calling this out explicitly to US customers. The moves were intended to be completely seamless and would prim…

You are sadly mistaken if you think capping strath/scholo at 5 man helps casuals in anyway.
1) Unless you are a mage, priest or warrior good luck.
2) The time it takes to run either …
i think that introducing the epics is a bit silly. what is supposed to happen to the loot that is the result of the long chains through Stratholme, Scholo, and UBRS?
Also, while the new blue items and purples won't be as good as MC loot, it still…
don't you all remember last summer? one day we log in to see that suddenly a bunch of servers have suddenly jumped from very light pop. to medium and up? I think SOE messes with that stuff all the time.

Well Its either WoW or EQII im gunna buy when I try the trials... I found the trial for EQII but I was wondering if there was one for WoW.
Trials for WoW work like this: When someone buys the game, they get a card…

I normally would not ask. Instead i would play a trial. but it does not seem i can do that in this case.
The game comes with a 10 day free trial that is to be given away to someone else. If you know someone who …
i dont see how this concept is unique to EVE. It's the same in any MMo. If you want to beat the best, you have to have gear like the best. Skill does come into play. But you have to have that hawt gear if you want to dominate.
Don't think …
it's nice to see people who recount their trials in mmos with honesty and accuracy. so often people leave out details because they're afraid they'll look less 1337 in the eyes of other gamers. we're all newbies at least once (3 times if you play s…
I started playing when they announced JTL would be released. Unfortunately, I got bored of the space grind and liked advancing to and getting my Jedi (pre-cu). It certainly kept me hooked for a while.
UH. The population centers shifted throughout the life of the game. From Mos Eisley to Theed back to Mos Eisley to C-Net and to the Mining Outpost on Dantooine. Dantooine's Mining Outpost was the population center for the Lowca server all through…
I liked MxO when i launched. It was fun to play and fun to watch the combat animations as you fought. But i will never trust SOE again after watching my characters get nerfed day after day after day in SWG.
To touch on some of what other people have been commenting on, WoW has a real conflict for developers and gamers. It's so noob friendly. I feel like it holds the game back sometimes. That's the problem. You risk alienating potential players who …
Claus has an excellent point. You really get nothing in WoW for killing A player. And after 4 or 5 times, you don't even get honor points any more. The only way to get anything from PvP in WoW is endless Battleground grinding. That's not real Pv…
