  • I sent the idea to DG Devs as recommended. I'm sure they've already planned something better or more grandiose in design. However, you never know, worth a shot.
  • Perfect! I just want to thank Mythic for DAOC. It's brought back the feeling I once had in EQ1 after years of playing the newer MMOGs. DAOC has that special something, I don't know what it is, but it's what a good solid MMOG is about. Since my frien…
  • Thanks for the info! Just want to verify, there's no text that comes up in chat that says, "You are protecting soandso" or something similar. Also, does the tank need to do this every time we zone, or just once and we're good for the whole evening?
  • I noticed that you can decline the free levels. Is there a title or anything you get for declining them and doing it the traditional way? I kinda enjoy the grind in MMOGs.
  • Is this the marketing/publishing we are to expect from SOE? Our beloved Firiona Vie is now a MAN (w/ man-boobs)!! Scroll down mid-page. The EQ: Prophecy of Ro picture. http://www.station.sony.com/en/
  • Every non-SOE associated MMORPG competitor/developer around the world just cheered in rejoice upon that announcement. More subscriptions for them.
  • This has huge impact on so many people. Everyone I know WAS heading to Vanguard. Now people are argueing, guilds are splitting up, it's just insane. Vanguard was supposed to be the light at the end of the virtual tunnel. People waited and waited, pr…
  • I read in some article/interview that the housing will be placed in pre-determined lots throughout the wilderness. This is to protect the landscape. Some lots will be larger or more clustered than others, allowing for guild owned villages. The citie…
  • They're probably denying it to retain the 3-4 subscribers that remain in SWG. The LA/SOE Marketing Department's justification for lying to the public is creative positive reinforcement. They do this ALLOT. I don't trust one word.
  • With the money Blizzard is raking in now, they probably have enough capital to fund a few low/no profit WOW servers indefinately. Probably could use the AO business model, play free, pay for expansions. Anyways, I've been to Korea on business before…
  • Originally posted by Minsc WRONG! Not the same technology at all. GW instances are hosted on the client, kinda like in Diablo, DDO instances are hosted on the server like in WoW. BIG DIFFERENCE. If you don't know what you are talking about kindly…
  • Originally posted by matraque Originally posted by miccav Exactly as the title says, it's a single player game with multiplayer support. With the introduction of instancing technology MMORPGs have gone down hill. This is another example of the…
  • Originally posted by Minsc Originally posted by Morrdak For one you need to just take a chill pill there Master Troll Minsc. Your not a game developer by any means and the weather you can see it or not technology is similar in both games. Deny…
  • Originally posted by Odysses My post is not intended as a flame.    Being that you can afford a BMW and a mortgage, you should understand marget demographics.  You claim that the content is not worth $15 a month is strictly your opinion.     Speaki…
  • Good post Munk. I'm guilty of criticizing games, but not try to flame them or generate hate. DDO IS a fun game. But it is a disposable game at that. The line between of MMOG and Single Player game is getting blurred these days. I associate an MMOG w…
  • Originally posted by MMO_Munk I understand the wanting of gettign what you pay for, but 50$ to buy the game and then 15$ to pay for the first 2 months to beat it at a casual pace is only 65$ for a full taste of a NEW GAME. Thats not bad in my book…
  • Originally posted by mydasx Alas, the youre too broke to pay 15 dollars flamers have arrived.  Again, i'm a 30 year old software engineer w/ a bmw payment and a mortgage.  My post is about how i spend my money not whether or not i can.  This i'm no…
  • Originally posted by Minsc But value is subjective, to me $15/month = $0.50 a day, which is peanuts as far as I'm concerned. Also I don't think your car analogy really works well in this case, it would be more like comparing 2 cars that start at …
  • Originally posted by Minsc Because there is much more data being sent back and forth in DDO. It's twitch-like gameplay would not work very well if hosted client-side because performance is dependent on the host's connection. As for the difference…
