I have a lvl 80 Bear Shaman on Tyranny. Haven't played in a long time. (almost a 18 months) But I was thinking of playing it again as I am sure a lot has been added/changed/improved/fixed in that time. Along with the fact that the Godslayer expansion is coming.

Congratz! The first step is admitting your problem...   hehe  ;)

I can game hop a little but always get back to them to finish em up. I don't hop many mmo's though, if i'm having fun I won't do anything else for a while.

Juicy Story... Curious to see how this unfolds.

Considering there is a loading screen every 30 feet in AOC  and the terrain has a lot of invisible walls it better have good graphics. I really enjoyed Eve's and Lotro's graphics as they seem to fit better for the theme they are aiming for.

Character graphics are not quite as important to me as I don't spend time zooming in on my characters face but I agree Lotro's leaves a lot to be desired if your the type to get your rocks off staring at your toon. In AOC the fact that I could only be a white guy, a black guy or something in between left me wanting more options as well since I really don't care how many eyebrow options I have. I like different races or types of creatures when I create my toon and only having the option of a black guy, white guy or mexican in AOC was disappointing.

I am curious how many people when they reach end game or whatever actually take the time to examine facial features of other people in game. 

lol oh boy, I'll go easy on ya bud since it's obvious you never read Robert Ervin Howards books. If you had you would know AoC's graphical theme was very well fit. That canon doesn't have different creatures, just different races of humans I.E. "white guy, black guy or mexican" (lol) Not even sure what you mean about the every 30 seconds loading thing, must be your specs. Sometimes a opinion isn't subjective when it simply is factually incorrect.

As for what I think... I'm gunna go with the majority and say AoC's graphics are really awesome and bloody! LOTRO, EVE and Aion are very nice looking too.

Well I have been playing the single player and have yet to jump into the MP.

Makes sense that it's running laggy on day 1.

I can only imagine how many copies got sold.

I miss the old SWG.....

 

Please someone - give me my game back....

 

Nuff said

I'm gunna agree to that...

But sadly it seems it's put on the backburner by most developers.

Funny watching people argue over what is subjective.

Reminds me of a thread on the old Warcraft III boards in respects to the development of WoW and how it would..."ruin the IP" lol yeah it sure ruined it.

We should nickname the OP "Little Chicken"... In terms of the old story about the sky falling, not in terms he's a chicken that can't play a pvp game.

I'll chime-in and say I'm not a big fan of the MT modular. I also have played mmo's for 10+ years. Paying a sub fee imho is just easier and gives a level playing field.

I do understand the concept and where a use comes from MT. I just see it as too easy for people who have the resources to exploit it.

Surprised noone mentioned the sheer immense ammount of profit blizzard takes in... When it's all said and done they make billions.

I almost think of it as; The community is too large to implement something like this... But then think it's too big not to do it. My gut tells me most of the player base would like that ingame.

Earthrise, Champions online, Star Trek online, Starwars The Old Republic, Mortal online and DCU looks like it might be cool.

I will agree level building is pretty much a RPG staple, yet doing the very same dungeon over and over shouldn't. Endgame needs to evolve because it seems most players tend to burn/race thru all the content on the way to max lvl.  All the content not asorbed is pretty much wasted and forgotten.

I'm playing WAR atm, a game that is not perfect and suffers from endgame balancing. I will say that game is very fun to make alts.

yea i am also very interested in earthrise. It really sounds to be a unique scifi game, though it is a cautious optimism, because i have sevearly burned my hands before on interesting mmo projects, like with DnL.
I realllly hope that earthrise will be everything i hope it will, but i try not to get my hopes up to much..

No doubt the game looks very cool... As you said about getting burned; Yeah I know that feeling.

I'll stay positive and think that developers will become aware of the many mistakes made in the past bye others.

It's an interesting start.

What I would like to know and something that could make or break my interest in the game is....

Do the gangs control territory?  If my gang sets up shop somewhere and defeats all commers for a period of time does the gang get some kind of benifit like increased income from drug sales or access to some kind of better manufacturing.  If so is there a way we can get NPC guards to defend our ground against other raiders and could we improve them somehow.  Otherwise I fail to see the point of paying a monthly fee for a FPS game with a prettier server selection screen.

 

/agree

Territory control tied to resources and the ability to modify your home turff would be exceptional. When I say modify I mean Grafitti wars and things that make it obvious who the area belongs to. Would be great if they allow creativity to take place in the game as well. upload your own logos and such.

Sounds like a great idea, looks good. The instances worry me and the name, come on...change it. No name is ever "set" until it is mastered on CD and printed on the boxes.

I'm right with ya Slip. If this was open world it would be really be getting my attention.

Speculate is about all we can do at this point, yet I would say In terms of how much hype this game is generating. It's gunna be quite big... I would think.

Most MMO's take 4-5 years to release and fail because they are released 1-2 years to soon.  Bioware is known for taking their time and releasing when their game is ready.  Hopefully they will take their time and put long term profits ahead of short term sales.  Which brings me to my guess of,

May, 2011

QFT

But May 2011 might be a little long from now. I think early 2010, anyone's guess I supose.     ï

I'm in a 200 man Guild for WAR, Im just wondering how long its gonna be before it gets borring.

 

Then why play? You clearly do not like the game and its premise? Why spend the money and attempt to play it if you hate it from the beginning?

Just don't come back after launch and post about how much you hate the game.

My advice: don't like it, don't play it.

Quoting Templarga for truth and curious what "200 man Guild for WAR" your in?....

There will be

fileplanet though

Yes but people who have been waiting for beta will also get invites from the Mythic's beta center. It's not all bad .

A bunch of lame excuses from Funcom. Paying to beta test is retarded. I call shenanigans.

Paying to beta test?.... Do you even grasp the stupidity that is emulating out of your mouth? lol I call a broke ass mofo right here.

Why should YOU be allowed to play one of the most anticipated MMoRPG's of the year for free. Let alone 2 weeks of play right before launch? Your bitching about 5 bucks when the game will cost you 60 let alone the 15 every month...

Yeah anyone who thinks like Samuraisword makes me question general common sense in people. 

Pretty sad to hate on Funcom and Fileplanet with the multitude of entertainment and service they provide. I'll say it twice people are stupid, heaven forbid they might actually THINK!!!!

Healthy 6 month bump.

Guild is thriving in all aspects. We're getting ready, come say hi. We are no doubt a Legion!!

Crazy how large we have become, good times!
