I miss old school EQ, played through 5 years of hard core raiding. Racing to get to mobs and server wide warfare to control when the bosses are respawning. Waking up to phone calls in the middle of the night. "Dude boss 03 is up and guild 02 is goin…
Exactly. I kinda miss EQ where you entered a zone either with your regular gaming group or waited in the entrance area until you had a group. No matter what zone you were in. Later in the game you could solo but why play an mmo solo?
Sounds absolutely amazing. I am playing Dragon Age right now. And I forgot how satisfying it is when you make a choice and the whole game line is affected by it. It was be totally awesome to be able to do that in an mmo with your friends. I am very …
My whole family plays. We have 6 lifetime accounts and have our own guild. It's an absolutley beautiful game. If you are a hardcore player it's prolly not the game for you. The raid content isnt all that. The rest of the game is amazing though.
I have 3 friends from EQ1 that we still chat on the phone and email and send pictures of our families to each other. And if business or pleasure bring us within a decent drving distance none of us are afraid to just drop in and say hi. These guys wi…
I am a huge old school Warhammer fan. I played the tabletop miniture game for a few years and the pnp rpg for a lot of years. Plus all the Warhammer RTS's. The company that initially started to develop the MMO had me incredibly excited about the pro…
I have found that since the blush of original EQ wore off I have been unable to play any online game for more than a few months at a time. I have a lot of fun with new games until I start grinding. I don't do any high level content because I don't w…
Why should anyone ever settle if they don't have to? I would never settle for second best in anything that I do why would I pay good money to settle for less than the best? Each and every person has a right and responsibility to set the highest stan…
I ran Linux for a long time. Maybe 4 years. And I would probably still run it if I did not have so many driver issues when I ugraded my computer time before last. When I upgraded xp was about a year old. And everything game out there worth playing a…
I have a pretty serious gaming rig and I am running Vista Home pro or deluxe whatever it is. With DX10 and the difference in the details and performance is astounding. Vista tends to make you work a little harder to get some games installed. But tha…
It seems to me that the point of the discussion has drifted a bit. The point....will it become a forced guilding/raiding game. It probably will. Look at who the original designer of the game is. And then look at who owns it now. The design crew wher…
I hope I get into the beta. I have been waiting for this game since the other company announced they were developing it like 7 years ago. It's too bad they ran outa money because I really like where they were going with the magic system and how dark…
I played EQ one for years and years. And would still end up lost in Freeport if I took a wrong turn or went to an area that my class didn't need to visit very often.
That was annoying as hell.
That said. Having maps has made the game flow much f…
