Seeing as how they managed to create a huge seamless world in L2 with UE2 and later 2.5 one can only hope what they will do with U4E. L3 or at least Ethernal with U4E please :) Playing: EVE Online Used to play for 5+ years: Lineage 2, Lord of the Rings Online and Ragnarok Online Utter disappointing MMO experience for 1 - 3 Months: |

Originally posted by orbitxo Except Tera has glaring issues with random FPS drops, and if you have done nexus, most people get around 10 fps doing that. Lineage 2 had the same issues, it runs great until you get a lot of people in one area then it runs like complete garbage. The engines aren't designed for MMORPG games, and if they are nobody has used them correctly yet. I'm saying this and Lineage 2 was my favorite MMORPG and currently Tera is the only game I'm playing. |

Originally posted by orbitxo Blizzard would make a heavily instanced lobby game, that they call an "MMORPG" and market as such, wherein players sit around in a capital city, never venturing outside of said capital city unless they are next in line for a BG, Arena, or instanced dungeon. sounds like a waste of a great engine to me. |

Originally posted by Tyvolus4 The bias is glaring here. World of Warcraft is one of the most seamless MMORPG's in existence. The fact that I could travel anywhere in the world with next to zero loading screens (unless your traveling from continent to continent) shows that Blizz can make a seamless world. I'd love to have a world where I can just ride from zone to zone without loading screens every five minutes. The fact that you could train a dragon from the Blasted Lands all the way to Stormwind (basically 3/4 of the way across the continent) shows what Blizzard can do. That being said, Blizzard uses their own engines. Aion 2 and Lineage 3 would both be amazing. I hope that's what they're building. If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

Originally posted by QSatu NCSoft was already working on a L3 title, but its not like you would expect because it's going to be like a combination of Diablo and Starcraft. Instead of third person perpective it is an arial god's eye view perspective managing an medieval army of sorts. It was called Lineage Eternal. But when NCSoft went to court against Tera for alleged stolen artwork and designs, the project ceased development. |

Originally posted by orbitxo Graphicly it might not be the best (from a technical bells and whistles standpoint), gfx might not be to some ones taste but does not mean the engine is not capable. In terms of what it can do, number of players in a zone, CRZ, phasing, smooth combat and all the backend stuff I think it probably is the most advanced cus it's had 10 years of constant development. |

Originally posted by Czanrei Actually that's not exactly correct. They are making Lineage Eternal but that is an effort by NC to create a sequel to the original Lineage. The rumor is that was Lineage 3. They are still making a "Lineage 3" and have even announced that they are making their own engine for it. Now, having said that, this was a while ago and who knows how their plans will change and unfold. http://archeagesource.com/topic/890-rumor-ncsoft-to-suspend-lineage-3s-development/ But gamer gossip on the net keeps saying that Lineage Eternal is "Lineage 3" and according to NC interviews at the time that's not the case, it's a sequel to Lineage. |
