The people who run GW2 have completely failed to understand why Kithicor Forest was so awesome.
The original EQ had zones that you needed to cross if you wanted to get somewhere. (Yes, it is no longer this way as they've introduced instant trave…
Originally posted by Purutzil Terribly executed. While claiming "no trinity" in a way you are forced to a rather primitive one focusing on the three points "Control, Support, Damage" which oddly enough are what the original trinity was created from.…
Originally posted by Gaia_Hunter I'm going to tell you what the problem with the tools are.
They are worthless.
They are a convenience item that is only convenient if you play a single character.
If they want to sell more 1000 gems tools what …

How do you propose they solve the dilemma of "how do we keep them coming back?"
They wanted to make a game where you log in and just "have fun". But that's a load of bull.
No one does something just for the heck …

Do you mean you loose if you have only exotic weapon and armor?
Haha!
Yes, you lose about 5% and/or weeks of grinding.
BIS stands for best in slot. The best gear is incredibly grindy to obtain in-game but is for s…

Forgot EQN is F2P. Made a comment about sub games. oopsie!
It was still relevant, just for different reasons.
Instead of losing out on a sub they lose out on micro-transactions and alienate the exiled p…
If SOE had said they were going to mercilessly go after hacks and cheaters then that'd be something to cheer, especially given the state of PlanetSide 2.
"Refusing to let customers abuse their employees" comes off as being insecure and narcissis…
There will likely be something like a cross between MineCraft and Diablo dungeons.
The Voxel Farm site talks about what the engine can do http://voxelfarm.com/vfweb/engine.html :

You can probably expect something similar to Guild Wars 2's cash shop for starters... lots of fluff, especially at first. There will also likely be some way to exchange in game currencies for other players money as SOE already offers this with their…

Again, this is not 1999-2000 and you can't go home again. MMO developers have moved on. You will never again have that same experience or that same game you played all those years ago. Of course EQ Next wasn't going t…

It's painfully obvious that SOE has problems with nepotism where JR. gets the job! or gets a government tax break for hiring the blind to do their MMO artwork. Yes, SOE characters are ugly and more often than not the animations look fucking awful. S…
Probably the one thing that I despise about GW2 is the gear/loot system.
What a freaking mess.
Whenever I play GW2 I have to dump my bags at the nearest vendor, selling off all white, blue, and green crap... because that's what it is, crap t…
I've played FF14 twice now, once when it infamously bombed and once again recently.
The revamped FF14 is a nice game and all, but releasing a subscription game in the current market is as bad as releasing an unplayable game in 2010.
