Did Ultima Online have the best free-for-all PVP in an MMO?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 12/21/06 5:28:52 AM
no they didnt... |
|
|
If I'd be developer, Id choose Point&click...just because it takes far less from the server.
But as player I prefer WASD |
|
|
How one gets to fund it:
Write 200 pages of documentary, program working proof of concept..start calling known investors over and over. |
|
sorry, this game doesnt allow you to interact in any other way than vocally...if you like to initiate verbal jedi battles then its all ok |

There really isnt anything close to the complexity of UO in the market atm...well, Eve might come close but outside the item stats and ship tweaking it's complexity is about the same as of pea shooters. kids these days wants instant gratification with developers leading them by their hands to content. |

UO is still best game ever as you dont feel the grind at all...instead of the working at manufacturingline feeling you could set off and adventure anywhere you wanted, better skills just lessened the challenge in some places. Because there were no classes you could do pretty much anything you wanted and your role wasn't limited to one thing.
The housing system was great fun, i remember spending hours just redecorating my keep for some occasions. Roleplaying was great because guilds could go around doing things together because there really wasnt any need to turn away any newbies from the hunts...everybody had fun! and as you werent just limited to one role, the game gave you much greater freedom over what to do with your time as it wasnt constantly trying to force-feed content to you...items and skills were secondary aspects to the sense of adventure and social gameplay Only other RPGs to get it somewhat right the UO way is the elder scroll series...I want open-ended gameplay instead of linear gameplay where i'm dragged around doing what developers want me to do instead of what i want to do. In UO when I logged in I could think: Hmm, what should I do today In EQ clones when I log in I think: Sigh...I guess it's time to grind that spot again... UO was about living the world...WoW, EQ etc are about living the grind. |

most likely this will go as every other funcom came to this date...at release it will be most bug-ridden contentless game ever but year after that it will be winning best mmo prize in all competitions and reviews.

Eve is technologically most advanced game serverwise atleast, with hundreds of players on pvp in both sides same time it creates most challenging athmosphere and makes you hope your fleet captain knows what he's doing.
only department it really lacks any is pve...after youve fought one npc, youve fought em all |
|
|
Game where you can behead, dismember and raise the bodies of your enemies on pikes and at the end of day go to a tavern to watch the boobies gets full points from me.

I quit after ToA...I didnt feel like doing 10 hours raids that wasnt even any fun to be competive in pvp.

Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning: Editorial: WoW to WAR
News Discussion « General Discussion 12/08/06 4:06:01 PM
It's no secret lorewise, Warcraft as WHOLE serie, plus Starcraft too are heavily basing off of warhammer lore.
but yes, we wont see another WoW ever, unless Blizzard makes WoW2...it's just because of the fact that the brand is so strong that you could have 10 million people buy bucket full of poo if the bucket would have warcraft label on it. |

to me it looks like third dawn with just a little bit more detailed models.
It IS possible to create completely 3d UO that is compatible with the 2d...Bunch of amateurs have done it using normal cheap, hobbyist 3d engines that costs like 30$ (see, Ultima Iris) but EA still claims it's impossible. |

It's been there all along, it's called Siege Perilous...there's no trammel there! |

Well..what truly can you wait from the original creators of the mother of all grindfests (EQ1)? |

I can imagine going by the elven woods and see elven archers in every turn with names Legolaz, Legololz, Legoroolz, Legopoolz, Legohuntar, Legotooth...etc etc...then go visit the dwarves and be greeted by axe wielding cousins Gimli, Gamli, Gomli, Gumli, Gymli and dozen others...sigh and go back to human lands and see if Aragarn, Aragurn, Aragyrn, Aragirn, Araglorn and Aragern would need one more for their group...

My thoughts as european: It's not like pair of breasts wouldnt be one of the first things child sees after being born...

- Start planning what you want to do from the first moment you log in...study forums and make yourself a template to where to work to....trust me, you can do just fine, in most situations, with only 5% of the skills the game has to offer.
-Join a corp, even most tedious mining doesnt feel so boring if you do it with a group. -Don't be afraid to ask! Eve Online has one of the greatest communities and it's in very rare situations you get "Lol, noob" 'ed at. -Set yourself a new goal every day, in Eve you are not limited to one role. |
