I am fine with no PvP, because open PvP in a level based system doesn't work. Look at the issues they have in WoW with camping and such. It's a freaking joke, if you are lvl 20 and a lvl 60 decides they are gonna take you out, that is the end of t…
First: the comments about the current Vanguard community. Well, beta testers do tend towards being the leet-er sort of gamers. Seriously, casual gamers do not tend to be the beta testing type. Yeh, that is a generalization, but it's more true tha…
I like grouping with people of my own maturity level. I find it's more entertaining as the conversation tends to be about things I am interested in, and they usually get my geek humour. There are a lot of reasons to make a guild of mature (read o…
I have to agree with you Kane, the PnC isn't the worst thing to ever happen to a game. I really believe the whole PnC vs WASD is rooted in the fact that most games rely on the latter. It seems a bit hasty to say a game will never be successful be…
All I can tell you is EQ2 is right out. There is no PvP in the game now, and they are saying there never will be any. So I guess that crosses at least 1 game of your list.
City of Heroes is kinda fun, but gets a tich tedious after awhile. It ma…
It is nice to see them actually *do* something with the newspapers. I mean EQ had them, but they really had no point. Gotta go get today's news myself! YAY!
Ooops! I didn't mean I am having lag on Wish. Actually once I got past character creation and could reset my options it ran fine. I have a ATI 9250, and have it set to performence. The graphics are still pretty nice, the colours are amazing tho!

About those animations, I kinda figured they got oodles of feedback on that already! So far it's at least as good as the original EQ, heh minus the obscene lag...:)
I heard that too, about the lag. I think it's because when you point and click you send one msg to the server and then your character is moved. With WASD you send the forward msg to the server, then it moves you. Since you continuosly press the fo…
YAY! I played. Only for an hour, but so far I liked it. I was actually surprised with the amount of customization that you could have in character creation. I did find char creation a little laggy, but not so bad.
PnC takes getting used to for…
'Meaningful death' means that a lot of time 'invested' in the game gets lost, and people without much free time find this annoying (especially in PvP games where they cant avoid PvP).
I agree that meaningful death can be a pain for people who …
Just curious, but what is everyone expecting when they go into this beta? I figure that it will be sort of like a sample of the Wish world. Not everything will be up and running, but you can get a rough idea of the game. I hope that it will be en…
Interesting question. Both types of games have many pros and cons. In a persistent world there are a lot of issues with KSing and *shudder* camping. These two things really served to make playing EQ a nightmare on occasion. While going with a mi…
Heh, you could do what the rest of us are doing. That is you can troll the forums in a snit and flame the hell outta anyone who even slightly irks you...
No, I wouldn't call you lame, I mean those are fair comments. I would say that it needs to be kept in mind that MR is really trying to keep the poly count low, so the graphics prolly aren't going to stack up against some of the other games out ther…
GAH! I hated my GForce 4 MX, what a piece of poo! I got a Radeon 9250 for about $120 Cdn, and the BF bought me a Radeon 9600 and he paid $140 Cdn for it. We got them through Robotnik, but I am sure other sites are selling them just as cheap...
I think this thread was more or less a fun way for us sad sad mmo junkies to pass the time until we got our fix :P But yeh, we can't get too worked up over things we perceive as a delay cuz this is a beta test, so of course it won't be smooth saili…
