Story driven...and not even a mention of Asheron's Call. Been hanging on for years now, but this site is officially dead to me now. There is nothing left of the old MMORPG.com; nothing that represents my 23 years of playing MMORPGs.

So their idea of innovative is the trinity + Legolas?

I tend to look for UO/SWG type clones: worlds moreso than "games". The problem is that after two decades I have yet to find an indie company that is competent or capable of building and/or maintaining such a world. Eve is close, and I really like…

Another misunderstood thing about the Nvidia/Intel agreement is that it didn't end in March. What ended was the access to any NEW patents filed by Nvidia AFTER March. All the patents the Nvidia had prior will still be available to Intel forever, a…

Hiring the Smed is pretty much a deathwish. He will push whatever project he is on to be a game he wants to play and to hell with what the players, marketing, or other devs might have in mind.

The number of any tier of horse (save probably T8) at any one time is constantly changing as they are smashed together into new horses. Yes they have given out many T3 and T5 horses, but how many of those original horses still exist? I have 0 of th…

They managed to boost NWN to 500 player capacity. I remember sitting for hours waiting for a slot to open up (at $3.95 an hour, no less). AOL really screwed up when they totally dropped any focus on games and also basically told all their partne…

2003 also includes Horizons (now Istaria). Name another MMORPG that allows Dragons as a playable race; not as a pet or dragon-rider, but the ACTUAL dragon.

Asheron's Call. A continuing story that no other MMO has matched since, and a skill system philosophy that other games are just now starting to catch up with.
-
From what I can tell, the engine optimization is hard coded for a set level of hardware (internet cafe PCs) hence the low render distance and no options for LOD settings. As far back as Asheron's Call MMORPG engines have been programmed for the lea…

Sandbox-SWG-fan nerdgasm...up until the hordes of open world PvP asshats ruin the game for them.

Snail, huh? Expect amazing games, and utterly horrible management and Cash shop bullshit that totally overshadow any positives about the games.
-
Controlling a node doesn't deny anyone access to anything about that node, it simply gives the controlling guild taxes and extra perks.

Would rather spend that money this year on a Pascal or Arctic Islands based video card.
-
Yep, they made a huge mistake signing on to that contract. If really really want to use the engine, fine...but don't hang your entire freaking business on a single third party's ability to provide the servers, bandwidth, billing AND support. Talk …

Seems very...noisy...

April 20th should be good for a laugh.....
-
My list : Ultima Online, Asheron's Call, SWG...and bring back Auto Assault, dammit! Throw in Anarchy Online if they brought back the non-combat politics and progression (which they dropped before even implementing).
-
My guess as to why is that spears would be expected to have their own niche range, a mid-range set of rules for melee. That would mean a whole extra set of stats/mechanics/animations, etc. It is so much easier to just make ranged (magic/missle) an…

Tried to go back a couple of days ago. Downloaded launcher and client, got patch and boom...bugged out. Couldn't complete the update and so couldn't play. Nothing suggested by their "support" worked, so just uninstalled it. Its a known issue tha…
