The original author misses a key point - WHY do RP servers cost more? Is it the RPers? Or is it those who are too stupid to create an account on a non-RP server? As for name police, I've seen that outside the RP community too. If you have a name tha…

Originally posted by ZonMezz I've looked at the screenshots for this game and the thing that intrigues me is that you if you look you can see all the way to the horizon. I know this might be arbitrary to some, but being able to just take any direc…

I think the original poster's logic is fundamentally flawed. In fact, no one I know in the game industry except John Smedley is losing sleep over beating WOW. And Smed... well he deserves to lose sleep. Turbine has a particular target audience in…

Originally posted by Settingsun So wait. They weren't going to have mounts because they wanted to make them special, but then went ahead and added the standard ones. They said or implied that mpvp would be where you went into a zone and there woul…

The NDA is nothing but a contractual document. At best, Turbine could sue in court for relief from damages, but it would be very hard to prove damages without themselves opening up the entire game for the court to consider. There is zero possibility…

A play on words? Isn't that being rather kind and generous from a company with their history? Hmmm... let's dig up what the CEO himself said about AC2, about 9 months before release, ok? By the way, someone else (not me) made the below observation…

I don't think he is talking about driving via mouselook but rather using the mouse to move the camera independently of the character's movement direction.

Originally posted by Falconoffury There is not client download for the expansion pack content, so it has to patch after installing. If this is your first time play, I ask that you give the game at least a good week of play. You don't start meeting p…

The xpack is just more of the same, Storm. If what AC2 had before didn't keep players, more of the "same old thing" is not going to help. The game's vision is both flawed and lacking. After the double XP weekend this week I logged into AC2 last nig…

Originally posted by Puoltry So players prefer no PvP?How do you explain the success of WoW wich is actually centered around PvP?The game has a background rooted in PvP.Every time i see the statement that players prefer no PvP or limited i laugh.I t…

Originally posted by r1tual Well sorry if my post didnt make sense to anyone. I will clarify a little more. I am sick of games that dont allow you to be "jack of all trades" or "demi gods". I am sick of games that have dependancies between professi…

Originally posted by Falconoffury You should at least try the Asheron's Call 2 expansion pack. They did a great job on it. You're badly biased. Nothing fundamental has changed. Kill 4000 dillos for another level or maybe 2000 by mixing it up with s…

Originally posted by Falconoffury The bulk of the quests in AC2 end up being a mad zerg rush to the end of the dungeon, never stopping to check lore, see the graphics, or anything except zerg the end boss, grab the quest completion flag, and go get …

Originally posted by nethervoid The effect I was after was still achived. Verant did not become SOE in the same way Origin did not become EA. Lack of precision in language leads to erroneous assumptions, erroneous assertions, and erroneous conclus…

Originally posted by nethervoid SOE never started as Verant. Sony was around long before Verant. Verant sold EQ to Sony. This is not factually correct. SOE bought Verant, lock, stock, and barrel not just EQ. Verant as a corporation no longer exis…

None. Games that try to be based on some external fiction or franchise seem to end up being more constrained and thus less open to player impact. It's my opinion that one major key for the future of the genre is that games have to allow the player…

Originally posted by Anofalye Now that 95% of the hardcores left WoW you will see it disintegrate faster then any other MMORPG. That's a rather wild, silly, amusing, and interesting assertion without any facts to back it up. Proof please?

I see better quality content in NWN servers run by volunteers than in MMOGs. And in fact, I'd probably just play NWN if it were not for RSI issues that their mouse centric interface exacerbates for me. But several others hit on the core problem - t…

Originally posted by Falconoffury But yes, the quests are very high quality. The bulk of the quests in AC2 end up being a mad zerg rush to the end of the dungeon, never stopping to check lore, see the graphics, or anything except zerg the end bos…
