I never played SWG before NGE.

Its unforgivable what they did. How could they completely redesign a game like that? Its so unfathomable its hilarious. They thought they could get WoW like numbers by betraying their customers, and now they have Matrix Online like numbers.

1) EQ

2) DAoC

3) AC

A very distant 4) WoW

Never played any other MMO longer than a month, so there is no point in ranking them.

I tried to like the NGE. I really did. I only played once or twice before NGE, and didn't enjoy the game. I played the NGE for about 2 or 3 weeks. The quest are great. The speedsters are great. Flying in space is great. But I hated the new combat. Its like my character is on meth. He is running around at 1000 MPH. How is that even possible? My other complaint is it plays like a solo game, but its designed for groups. I can't do group content when there is no one to group with. That was my same problem with EQ and EQ2.

I hate games that don't have the population to support all the group content they throw at us. It'd be much smarter to turn that into more solo content, and less group content.

yes

I'd be surprised if they didn't have crafting like DAoC. It was fairly simplistic, and people had no trouble crafting and RvRing. Its my opinion that crafters help knit the community together. I'm sure armor and weapon crafting will make it into the game at some point.

Five of the lamest opinions I've ever read. WoW PvP is as shallow as it gets. That will not change with WoTLK. People will play WAR RvR for the same reason they play WoW PvP, and games like COD4/Counter Strike/Ghost Recon. Its a challenge beating people, and there will be rewards. WoW arena is retarded. 2-3% of the population participates leaving the others feeling like crap. Same for raiding. WAR will have even an even playing ground. At least, until the come out with an expansion that forces PvE raiding, a la ToA.

Will WAR kill WOW? No, but its going to give it a run for its money just like DAoC give the king of its time, EQ, a run for its money.

The game doesn't offer anything, but great graphics. Their slogan shows just how shallow the gameplay is. Perfect slogan, imo.

If your saying it will be a WoW clone, which I think you are rather long-windedly, I will agree. We will have to kill that same stupid kath hound, or bad driod, a thousand millions times over. Or run some assassine pointless quest of fetching fur for some one of no conciquence. Sorry, but after so many hyped games, and crap releases, I am now a very bitter and cynical man.

I think you should have to work to be a Jedi. Maybe make a classless system, and then you can unlock Jedi powers by progressing in other areas. I would like to see that, rather than not being able to make Jedis or a Jedi creation class.

In the case of EQ and DAoC both games have changed their core gameplay, therefore, are no longer fun to play. Before both games changed directions they were extremely fun.

EQ was not a raid centric game until Luclin came about, and then with the release of PoP it was all she wrote. DAoC game out with ToA, which, turned the game into one giant nightmare.

No, rest xp is just like any other game's rest XP, and is seperate from the free levels. Its already on the other servers now.

I'm pretty sure you don't get the free month if you used a trial key.

Not sure how VG is but every other MMO(not sure about EVE, tbh) gives you a free month with purchase of a box. That doesn't include games that give you the software, and you just pay monthly fees.

If you are just playing MMOs I think you'd love it. If you've been playing for 5+ years, no its just like the rest of 'em.

So you have Browncoat calling them out, and getting slammed. The next day, there is supposed to be this exciting announcement that isn't another delay! The exciting announcement just so happens to be what he Browncoat was talking about, and what I believed.

Good news! We're releasing whats left of the game! Hurray!

Its really cruel though.

Do you not know what beta is? Some things don't make it out of beta. You weren't tricked. You would be tricked if you bought the game, and found out those capitols and classes weren't included even though Mythic was going around talking about the great Hammer class, and the 12 capitol cities. Mythic told us they aren't making it to the live game at this time, if ever. That's a hell of a lot more than any other company has done.

Thank god. I almost missed this. Another cancel thread. Just what we needed.

Let this forum die, so I'm not tempted to come see the train wreck.

g) PC players make cool threads about how they are better than console players

Oh no, what if someone plays both? OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went back to DAoC. Far too archaic. The biggest problem is that the control keys are far too slow now. Playing games like WoW and EQ2(not to mention COD4 and others) where you can move freely and quickly have me spoiled.
