Actually, Dameonk, that's exactly what I meant. They are not normal occurrances. When large, world-scale events, essentially GM events, occur, I expect there to be an urgancy to see it through to the end one way or another, and whichever "directio…
Seriously one of these days someone sick to death of the crap we have for MMORPGs these days will make what needs to be made and stick with it or the morons making the MMOs these days will stop listening to the biggest whiners or believing they know…
Wow, makes me wish I still played AO...
Looks like I'm gonna be a Conan guy. I trust Funcom can really pull off some great stuff. I just hope they've learned a lot about the mistakes made in AO, like making expansions that overpower everyone…
I'm sure you could really enjoy it since you've never played it before, though I don't know how well the new novice area works out. I've heard good and bad things, and one big issue I can see is that you require to register in order to leave Tangun…
Hmm, I'd think that the best way to describe what I really would want to see to give you a better idea would be to describe Nexus itself, but that'd take hours and many posts. I'll summarize as best I can in a few major points:
1. The most ob…
If I could write my own story, I wouldn't have to forcefully work around hard coded obstacles. If I could write my own story, it would easily be supplemented by activities, items, events, and people in game that aren't arbitrary to it. If I did wr…
Having thousands of quests doesn't make a game story centric nor immersive nor roleplayable. WoW is the perfect example of that, based on my experience.
Aelfinn: I perhaps could have written all of that a little clearer, but I hope you understand what I would like to see. I just want the story to be the core of the game. PvE and PVP and etc. are what surrounds it and helps it play out. Roleplay a…

I read the same article and did not read any alarmist warning of doom. I saw a reminder to be cautious …
For a MMORPG, this is what I'd expect and what I look for:
1. A storyline to follow and participate in that becomes the primary focus of the game, the game world, and all you interact with.
2. A reason to participate in said storyline that d…
Performance? I'm guessing the specs to play? Or the gameplay? Both?
And yeah, I am sure there would be plenty of non-roleplayers wanting to play, and especially people who'd rather grief the RPers for playing the game their way than actuall…
Well, then, Ayase... Is Aion also going to include story and roleplay elements and content? Is there even going to BE a story line? Or is this just going to turn into another game where my being there or not means nothing, and all of my accomplish…
LMFAO Supernerd! Just "talking" it out when there's such an INCREDIBLY defensive outcry within the first 5 seconds of it is deserving of a punishment. Sounds to me like the kid is hopelessly addicted. Would you feel the same way if the parents we…
Squal-Zell, I think you're in the wrong thread...
I still hold Anarchy Online's graphics in high regard, Rubi-Ka still looks as beautiful as ever to me.
Now, I for one certainly have a crappy computer by today's standards. I made some bad cho…
There are two games I know of that are trying to create a very player driven world...
http://www.atriarch.com/ - Atriarch, which I found back in, like, 2000 or something, and still has from what I know next to zero budget to really work on it.

Yeah, I've thought about Eve before. Should give it a shot sometime, maybe with the new computer. I've heard it's kind of slow and not newb friendly though. And, while I like sci-fi stuff to a degree, I'd much prefer something like Anarchy Online…
I suppose I'll keep my eyes out for those games, KJemper. I just really want an MMO that immerses me, that makes me feel like I actually make a difference and that I'm not just another max level whatever. I want to feel like my characters truly ar…
