What are the system req's now that you have made changes?

I cant believe this post has run this long. The horse has been beat into Non-existence.

I dont know but I always have something to do on WoW. With 5 characters I am trying to lvl, keeping my skills up and farming gold, the battle grounds. I dont think that even at lvl 60 I will have done everything I want plus there are guild responsibilities to lowbies. Yeah in AC you did not have a topping out but in WoW there is always something to do.

If advertising IGE keeps this sight running then I dont care. Beside the alternative is advertising for porn sites and while this maybe intresting my wife will question why I view MMORPG.com. Also, if you find the ads offensive put black tape on your monitor.

Well you could have more of a RVR game with indians like DAoC. Those who wish to play an native american life could battle thaose playing an western life in selected areas for resources. This would have to be done carefully or you could end up with a game that becomes offensive to some, which would be bad for business.

Since the tech lvl is lower than sci fi and higher than medival, with no magic, you could creat a game with alot of new combat. Since you dont have to script magic effects or automatic weapons and missle launchers you can concentrate more on trick shooting, mounted combat, cover, and dodgeing (since there is no armor)

The ideas behind the game are just so revolutionary and the theme so uncoventional that it comes across to potential investors as too much of a risk. The idea of a pioneer sim with a moral inventory that keeps track of your good and bad deeds can be a tough sell to people who use World of Warcraft as a yardstick. It absolutely has appeal to me, but I very much doubt I'm a "mainstream" gamer. Still, I hope he manages to get it off the ground someday. I'd love to help rewrite history.

You guys talk a lot of horse shit, lol. Pony Island looks pretty good for a web-based game, bet you didn't even take a look, right? Right.

True, it dosen't have swords, axes, or magic death spells, and you probably won't find many occasions to shout joo been pwned, foo!!!, but the games looks cool for anyone who likes horses and breeding them. There is a competition element in PonyIsland with a chance of your ponies dying in a race---that's probably as close to Shadowbane as it gets---but it's a well-made game that costs less than $2.00 (USD) per month to play.

Anyway, props to cave71 for sharing the info.

Are there any Old west MMORPGs out there? I know there is one supposed to be coming out from Korea but is there anything else in the works or already there. If there isnt I wonder why not. 

I like 1st person but havent found a game were it was done well. I agree with everyone who agrees that EQ1 had the best 1st person play. You felt like you were there. AC had a terrible 1st person view because it was like you were looking out of you belly. I had a hard time playing 3rd person on AC after playing EQ but now I play 3rd for most MMORPG except AO which doesnt have the best view any in mode.

Voted yes but not because of the game. EQ was my first MMORPG and it was the experience that I liked the best. EQ was new and had a big "wow" factor. But after palying a few years and different MMORPG I will never have the same experience. there is nothing new under the sun and while CoH and AC and WOW have given my thrills my first game before becoming experienced (or jaded) will be the best. Does this make any sense?

This game is also newbie friendly. There is a newbie chat channel that has alot of people that help you with your questions.

Who cares, it was funny! "I have have the paper work with me. and the pen". Thats funny.

The problem I have with WoWs crafting system is that not all the skills are created equal as far as value and you end up grinding for reagents. When you first start it the crafting has a big wow factor but then gets old and ends up become a far last place to other things. Thats just me tho

What I hate are the SHEEP. They play every new game that comes out and love it until someone, meaning anyone, says "that game suxs" then they begin to lok for its flaws and cant look at the game the same way so they bash it and start playing what everyone is saying is cool, totally forgetting aboutthe fun they were having when they started. Also, I dislike people who cant say I dont like a game" they say "this is the worse game and anyone who plays it is stupid". If you you dont like a MMORPG bully for you, but dont insult those who do.

I agree with LadyTyger, unwanted invites to group are very annoying because if I wanted a group i would be in a group. Unwanted duel challenges are usually given by people looking to rack up another victory and when they cahllenge someone who doesn't care about dueling it is an empty victory but the beat thier chest anyway. I just let those duel challenges sit there if I can without answer. Also, I hate the word noob. But the word newbie Ilike. I dont mind being a newbie if I am new to a game. Also, I hate people in WoW that have 20 different UIs going at once and insult you if you dont.

This has probably been covered before but what does everyone think of the vast amount of Asian MMORPGs? Are they all pretty much the same? Are there any that stand out?

Point taken. I think that WOW is different from EQ is different from GW. DNDo is attempting to break new ground which is a good thing.Will they succeed is another thing. Right now there are alot of MMORPGs that handle things differently so you have a chose based on what you are looking to accomplish and what you enjoy. Comparing any MMORPG to another is like comparing watermelons to cherries.

Secondly, why would you need a tank, rogue, spell-caster and a couple of healers. I remember 1 PnP campaign I did with some friends where all 5 of us were thieves, you'd be surprised how successful we were, we were a very powerfull group.

Is there a free trial for the new AC1 with an online download? I will buy the new game since I think it is only like 13 bucks if there is a 30 day trial. Anyone have information on this?

Wont EQ not EQ2, run on your machine? Also AC will run on your machine.
