I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised at how much of a 'non-issue' response is being generated in most of the comments, and how much the author is being bashed for what is an opinion piece.
I agree w/ the author that gender-locking classes is outdat…
Anyone had any luck w/ a Heroic run? I'm getting stomped royally by the 1st Heroic fight...
The thing has 45 health, and his Hero Ability upgrades from dropping 3/1 spiders for 2 on every turn - to 4/4 spiders! WTF?! Needless to say; Heroic has …
I really like the concept of this 'Stress' system. Reminds me of the 'Battle Fatigue' system from SWG. Not enough MMOs have interesting status penalties, (let alone ANY penalties at all,) that have any long term (non-permanent) effects to your cha…
I have to say that I'm surprised at the dismissive and, (IMO,) overly-harsh reviews of this film. I watched it about a week ago and found it very iteresting, and after reading this article and the few comments so far it seems that I am probably in …
Non-game IP to MMO has yet to deliver rave reviews from fans because the fans all have such different development expectations. Original IPs are a better route for all involved because expectations can be better managed. Established IPs are largel…
Let's make more of a mountain of this mole hill...
I'm more convinced than ever that people will justify ANYTHING to be able to complain zealously about something...
So, everything else about the game was PERFECT - but now; with this news - you ma…

I bet this will be held by a guild and passed around to their members making them leet in pvp.
This is exactly what will happen. I'm willing to put money on that fact.
Another way to put the OPs statement: If you fire up Super Mario Brothers and expect it to play like Halo - you're gonna have a bad time. Accepting an MMO for what it is has nothing to do with accepting the whole genre's shortcomings. Your expe…

Indeed, games should not contribute to racism. All of the races should be equal in all ways. Except gnomes. Screw them.

A friend and I were just having a very similar discussion the other day, and I had ex…

This is funny somehow? Cause NO events is WAY better right?! Hm. Jaded much?
Mechanical, repetitive events are just as shitty as any other content. Vapid and empty.
The best, …
Originally posted by ice-vortex Originally posted by nate1980 Next we have the classes and combat system. I'm a huge fan of player choice in the ability to customize your character. The more choice the better. Being able to multi-class is definite…
The comments so far are some of the most shallow and superficial I've seen in a while. I get that people aren't thrilled with the choice of graphical direction - I'm not a huge fan of the WoW, Wildstar, EQN 'stylistic' choice of art direction, but …
Originally posted by BadSpock I'd add "no absolutely horrible character models / faces."
EQ2 had and still has IMO the absolutely most hideous player models in existence.
Absolutely agree. I don't always judge a game by it's graphics, but …
Had to chuckle. You're probably not wrong. : ) You know what they say: "...doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity..."
Hyping the 'next best thing' again and again only to be surprised wh…
"Maybe they can re-skin a MAX suit to look like a Tyranid Carnifex...hmmm." - Ehliya
Hm... Pretty sure that would fall under the 'no copyrighted material' filter they talked about... you know, in the article.
I don't know that I would want MMOs to become so 'mainstream' as to begin to become the focus of other media, (TV, movies, etc.) It seems unnecessary, and somewhat redundant if I'm being honest. Just because MMOs aren't 'mainstream' doesn't mean t…
