BIOWARE IS NOT making a normal MMO.

It WILL be a heavily instanced story driven game.   I'm sure a vast majority of people would be surprised if it wasn't.

To prove to himself that he can fail to predict something eventually.

Hey the big guy upstairs must be going insane knowing everything that is going to happen.  Someday someone will excercise true freewill and break the pattern.

Hmmm I think the same thing is happening to me.

everything work fine then the screen and sound go blank.   Can't do a hard power down(hold power for 10 secs) and have to turn the power supply off.  Hard drive paging light goes on but can't hear the hard drive doing anything.   and the fans still work.

I thought I've managed to fry my video card as well, it worked fine after taking it out.  then this morning when I logged in got the worked perfectly till just about when I was going to leave for class got the black screen bubble of blankness and then it stopped.

Multiable forms of advancement and having advancement not having to be the primary/only goal.

I'd consider the ability for people/groups to declare a plot of land theirs a requirement as well though it really isn't.

See: tradeskill, combat, PvP, raid, guild conflict, NPC faction conflict, and more.   None of which are a requirement, if you want to live in a town doing nothing but sitting in a smithy and using politics mechanics to control an NPC faction you can.   if you want to raid go right ahead.

Goons of Jena is not a bad name.   Goon means something completely different to people from SA it's a group identity.

Taking the name away might as well be discrimination on a group.  Sure it's the Internet and you never see the guys flesh or creed but it's still group discrimination.

As for ruining the name of Guardians of Jenna it wouldn't anyone who has been around MMOs for any amount of time will instantly reconize the differance between a goon and some other group name.

Because the church did it's best job to get people to not eat animals that are easy to train to work.

Gimme mah jump jets and a nice metropolis to play in

ARRRGgggghhhhh.....   Changing seasons runny nose can't type much, must go, BRB

All hype, thank god fanboys aren't declaring what mechanics it will have and other stuff that will build completely false expectations.

Players think only AAA mmos are worth playing, forcing developers to risk more than they have to.

Youtubed forever.  Future employers might even find it if they cared enough(they atleast check out myspace/facebook).

:goes on side rant about guy with my same name, he does potray a good image though:

a game based on familar magic has the possibily to be interesting.    A very fun mechanic to play with in your head.  But it becomes very daunting very fast after you realize you have to balance so many things especially when it comes to things like flight.

For the lions I'd go for something like an evee from poke'mon.   perform a few rituals and get the lion to mutate into a different forms,  you keep the same power level strength levels and whatever else.  but you as the player and the familar have their special abilities swapped around to match the ritual you performed(even taking on flying or swimming abilities depending).  

Fairies I'd go with them being completely immortal and nearly untouchable by other players.   and having the fairies act as individual skill sets each one having cool downs, cool ups, and charging seperate from each other, though occasionally having abilities that affect each other(recharge, restore type stuff).   Also have them having orbit a player/monster before they can use abilities on them.  So with expert use you could fall into a few differnt classes,  set up some very nifty timing based stuff with clever use, split your focus between a handfull of enemies, and balance the locations of all your fairies so they don't get to spread out and leave you defenseless.    (I can just imagine so much cool stuff you could do with this, as retarded and weak as it sounds compared to having a dragon it'd be a system I could thrive on).

For dragons I'd have the players job primarily being controlling the dragons.   The human being extremely reliant on the dragon to do most of the combat.

Then I'd add griffins/gryphons and being the opposite of dragon riders.   With the rider doing most of the actions and the griffin being a mount/occasional interferance.

There's a differance in scope for making the next WoW and making a MMO.  

(WoW is a MMO but it's in a class of it's own for now)

never said it was new just wanted a discussion on it.

Healer.   Any class can survive assults on it it's just a matter multi tasking.

PS:  trinity deserves to DIE HORRIBLY AND IN THE DEEPEST PITS OF HELL.

I'd play with it and a few friends wearing the same thing for 40 mins or so.

it was for dreamlords wasn't it?

With the economic crisis with the US and some of its states, expect Sales Taxes to occur.

Hopefully not to the point of taxing players based on in-game wealth and property.  I wish I was joking about that, but the IRS has held conferences with that matter.

TOS says that the property isn't property of the players but actually of the developers.  Even in second life which prides itself on players owning the world the TOS still says that your character and inventory are property of the developers, However you retain any and all IP rights.
