The fast travel enigma is very interesting indeed. It can easily be implemented in a way to satisfy both camps if done correctly, as was done in Ultima Online. There they made it part of the spell casting skill. If you had the skill you could fast travel. At that point it's on a slider really. You can make the teleport spell simple to achieve or make it high up in the 'arch mage' area of magic where few have access to it. Even better the 'arch mage' could be the one to provide a 'group teleport' instead of single, much like what was done in EQ1. At that point people will stand around town and 'sell' their portal services. It's really an ingenious way to handle fast travel. |

Originally posted by Hrimnir Had to stop right there. EQ1 has never been a sandbox. It's a themepark.
Edit* As not to be a total punkass, yes EQ1 did a lot of things right. One of them being so much group oriented gameplay. |

EverQuest: NEXT...? Do you think they will pull it off?

Originally posted by bingbongbros Yep! Hell I remember logging onto my ranger to track an NPC at night for hours to get a quest drop. While that seems tedious and boring, I actually don't recall it being sucky. After I got the item I was pretty proud of how I used my ranger to track down a guy for a paladin quest. hehe |

When did being a "Normal MMO Gamer" become "Hardcore Gamer"??
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 6/06/13 5:13:36 PM
Hmm if playing games for 1 hour is a 'normal' gamer, I'd hate to think what counts as casual. lol 15 minutes? hahaha! I can barely log into an MMO and get my bearings in 5 to 10 minutes. People play Farmville longer than 15 minutes.

I hope EQNext will be the next gen sandbox I've been waiting for since... UO or so, but I'm not holding my breath, especially now that I know it will be on the PS4. I feel like they might have to compromise too much of the sandboxy MMO aspects to appeal to console users. In this day and age of MMOs, it's best to be cynical, because 85% of released titles fall short IMO. |

Originally posted by steelwind Agree. I think what we think in our heads when we hear them say 'sandbox' and what they're making as 'sandbox' are two totally different things. lol This is like a bait and switch. |

Originally posted by lizardbones What you guys are not reading in my post is that you can only set those up with people you know in the game. If you want to meet new people or buy something etc, you had to go to the bank. It was a great way to get people talking together. If people want to IM out of the game sweet, but adding in the global chat was a real break in immersion and socializing in the game. *Edit - And by socializing I mean socializing with people you don't already know. |

If EQNext is going to be on PS4, I'm now 99% sure it will be a game I won't want to play. They're going to have to cater to the desires of FPS players. Great. More instant gratification.

Originally posted by Loktofeit Believe it or not most of the socializing and meeting at the Britain bank in UO to trade, meet people, set off for dungeons etc was because there was no global chat in that game. If you wanted to talk to people who you couldn't IM, you had to go to the bank of a major city and mingle. People would hawk their wares there etc. It was really awesome. Global chat and global market has ruined a lot of the player interaction in modern MMOs. The price of convenience I guess. lol |

How many of you are committed to an mmo right now?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 6/05/13 11:25:54 AM
I haven't logged into an MMO every night since the launch of SWTOR. Currently super casually playing LOTRO, but it's pretty boring. Was thinking about firing up EVE or UO again... For the future I think at this point only EQNext is something I'd consider, depending on it's features, which TBH I can almost guarantee will be a huge let down. It seems there's a giant disconnect currently between game creators and game consumers. Everything releasing lately is just garbage right out of the gate. Wildstar could be fun for a month or two. TESO is going to suck balls. Beautiful world filled with the same features we have seen for the past 5 years at least. |

Originally posted by Raph Raph I think if you took the minecraft concept and morphed it into an MMO you'd have a rather huge potential market. I don't know a lot about other industries, but as far as youtube minecraft videos have the lions share of searches per month. Last I checked minecraft was searched 16 million times per month while COD was only searched 7 million (COD being I think the runner up on that list). |
