I don't see whats the bid geal about this image. It's an interpretation of the original artwork of Parkinson (RIP)
The scaling seems to be off, Kerran bigger than Ogre? Yeah Firiona is weilding a bow and a sword, maybe a hint at an open class / pro…
Star Wars Galaxies had a great Housing System. Pretty free to plant your House in the wilderness, seamless world. Easy to decorate. You could set up your house as a shop, with vendors. That way, you could force people to come to your house to buy yo…

I wish I could start over in eve without knowing anything like back in the day. My suggestion really is to avoid the official forums and explore the game from inside. You will feel more immersed that way.
Enjoy the small things, don't strive for t…
I suggest you read "Psychology of the masses" by Gustave le Bon. Basically what you see with hype is that the more people you reach, the more will follow. Humans just work like that. The bigger the mass becomes, the easier it is to manipulate (Steve…
Good lists, nice input. I forgot to put PvP in there as necessary. As you allready said, PvP is a way to take items out of the game and help the economy. Durability on items is also very nice, gives people something to repair or craft new stuff. Wou…
Originally posted by Enigmatus Mildly offtopic, but I do kinda wonder something:
If it is more efficient to do things in a group, why is there a mechanic that divides up the amount of experience you get from doing things in a group? If you want to…
I prefer to play a well-made singleplayer over a Multiplayer that tries to be a single player... if you know what I mean.
At least those games are honest, you know what you get. And if it's well done it will immerse you into the game world better t…
I disagree. The term MMO is used way too often today. Back in 2000, Massive multiplayer might have meant something like 60-100 people running around in the same area interacting, wich is what the technology could handle. They were usually connected …
Well, judging by some replies here, we can again see what is wrong with mmoRPGs. Role Playing games! If someone wants to be a mysterious wanderer, an antisocial hermit, like Yoda for example, why should he not be allowed to play that role in a role …
Everquest. Mine was a "circlet of shadow" for my SK, a no-cast-time invisibility that was later replaced with the "circlet of shadowS". That was of course before AA invisibility and was an item that enhanced SK gameplay by ALOT at the time. The cool…
How can you like games like WoW, SWToR (I picked that up, a few friends made me do it. Played for a month and "finished" it.) Rift etc? What is it? Oh level to the level cap, travel a world where you go from A to B because your quest journal tells y…
This is a topic that i often talk about with friends.
Back in 1999 I joined a friend in playing Everquest. We had played Diablo 2 before that, but with the increasing popularity of ISDN Internet Flatrates, MMOs started to become more accessible fo…
Hey man,
it is a good thing that you realize that you in fact ARe addicted to WoW. Because in order to get a way from an addiction you gotta be honest with yourself and admit that you are addicted. That was the first step, wich you allready took. …
It is CCPs stated goal to create the ultimate SciFi simulator. Wich means the whole spectrum of space flight, walking in stations, landing on planets etc. Just wait and see. It's gonna be the full package some day when the technology is ready. All t…
Let's not call it "heroes" Let's call it "main protagonist". The person around wich the story revolves. In an MMO, the story can't evolve around everyone. The story should be the main anchor, and the players should partake in it, but it shouldn't re…
I wholeheartedly agree with the OP. And I think this is one of the things wrong with todays MMOs. Remember when SWG wasn't "star-warsy" enough? Because everyone wants to be a Luke or a Han Solo right?
Wrong! Back in the day, games like SW:ToR were…
I expect the Space Flight to be skipable. Everything else would just be ridiculous. Just leave it out or do it right.
I didn't play it back in 1993 when Rebel Assault was released and I won't play it now.
