Ooo, thats rough. I forgot about drop-muling, I bet many here have had bad experiences with that. Always a process filled with anxiety!

Well, first of all the new AC should be developed by the people who did AC1, NOT the current Turbine which has been corrupted by the WoW school of MMO design. The current Turbine is not capable of developing a game that I would want to play. That sa…

AC2 is and will forever remain dead. Its a shame that so much work and effort got flushed down the drain, but in the end its a smart business decision. Since AC2 cannot be financially viable as a p2p game, Turbine wants to try to funnel players to t…

Seamless world for me. Even though the graphics were blurry and chunky, you really felt the scale of the world around you. Seeing mountains in the distance (and being able to run to those mountains) made the world feel more real in spite of the grap…

Nope, I'm in the same boat. It seems like every new game is WoW in a different guise. I played WoW, it sucked, I dont want to play it again. I dont ever want to do another quest where I have to "Collect 12 rocks" or "Collect 20 skulls." I now judge …

There are many games that have comparatively tiny populations that still have a monthly sub fee, and they manage to stay above water. Look at Asherons Call 1 - its never had that many subscribers, but it is still around since launching in 1999.

Have you tried Planetside? It is, to date, the only true MMOFPS. Games like TF2 and Battlefield track your stats, but you don't have a persistent character or customizable skill sets like in Planetside. And none of those games can even come close t…

Asherons Call 1 - Bael Zharon showed up at Fort Teth, and proceeded to kill everyone in sight. It was really exciting knowing there was a live GM controlling him, not just some pre-scripted event triggered at random. I wish more MMOs would feature l…

I was like you 4 years ago - thought I wanted to become a game programmer and entered college as a CS major. I think thats what 75% of my classmates were thinking, too. But, unless you are really serious about coding and really truly enjoy it, CS is…

I don't understand why Turbine felt the need to eliminate vendors. I guess the idea is to save players time , but I actually enjoyed the downtime.

After the catastrophe that was AC2, I highly doubt you will ever see another AC related game. The very name 'Asheron's Call' now has bad juju associated with it, so developers aren't going to touch that IP with a ten-foot pole.

If you play solely for the graphics, then you should forget MMORPGs, save your money, and get a single player game. Yes, the graphics are primitive now, but the gameplay is why people stick around. AC's gameplay is still the most advanced of any g…

Having played both WoW and AC... WoW doesn't have quests. WoW has errands. Collect 10 of this. Kill 15 of that. Very few quests are even mildly interesting, let alone exciting. AC had exciting quests, because you didn't know everything beforehand.…

Hope you like to grind, because thats all you'll ever do in L2. Economy is fubar. Open PVP, except no one wants to PVP because they're afraid of losing their equipment. In short, a waste of time.

Shaun of the Dead? Are you serious? You must not have seen a whole bunch of movies... Personally, I think the greatest acheivement in cinema history is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. If you've read the book, you understand how difficult it would b…

I played L2 for about 3 months before giving up in frustration. I was well on my way to the end game content, was a member of an awesome guild, but all of a sudden I had this awakening - "this game is not fun." From what I could see: -Pitiful lack …

I resubbed several months ago, and my impression was that all the starter towns are EMPTY. The marketplace is really the last place you see a ton of people grouped together, and most of those are bots anyway. It seems everyone gathers around their r…

Oh, I have to add - on the Solclaim server, watching that player "KMFDM" doing epic PvP battles outside the Subway. He was like my hero. If you're out there KMFDM, hope you're doing well.

Like most people, my fondest memories revolve around PvP and Darktide. One of the best is just logging in to Darktide, creating a new character in Holtburg, and running around causing havoc and mayhem amongst the noobs. Anyone remember that little s…
