Yes the combat system has to be good especially since the game is so PVP oriented. Adding counter attacks or a combination of fighting styles from various MMOs might give it the flare it needs to be a good game.

Its difficult to live up to the D & D name. I thought the game could have been better. UI  controls weren't terrible but not as easy to use as WOW. Some of the creatures in the game were cool such as the vampire and hell hounds but I thought they could have made a better game overall.

I don't think so because alot more people are talking about WAR right now. But I do think Aion is going to be good. I just think the population will be smaller.

I am glad it passed the initial stress tests. Good article.

The graphics look great and it has some cool features such as flight. If they can make the game more quest oriented instead of pure grinding I think the game will do well. But right now its tough to be number 1 because there is so much competition.

Level 50 seems to be just about right.

I am bummed they got rid of this game. Yes it wasn't perfect but it was fun to play. I can't believe that they dropped G & H to support star trek. Yes many people will like star trek but I don't think you should place the reputation of your company on a niche (sci-fi vs fantasy)  market.

SOE had nothing to do with this. I played in Beta and I think the main reason G & H had problems was because of the minion system.  The system was very cool and made the game fun to play. But it made alot of other things difficult to implement such as PVP. The game also could not be seamless because of the minion system. Towns were zoned because of the minions.

Yes SOE has dropped the ball more than once but that doesn't mean that they'll never make another good game again. Can't judge a game before it comes out even if Sony did make it.

There is someone already doing this in Wow. He controls 5 shaman at the same time. All 5 shaman use chain lightning at the same time. Forgot which server hes on but hes like unbeatable. He did pay for 5 accounts though.

Macs make very good computers but man the options on them are expensive. If you want a good gaming computer but don't want to shell out alot of money you should roll PC.

Yes the US population is low compared to the rest of the world. But the US has alot of money too so they have to listen to our feedback. Plus they can charge more a month in the US so they must tailor games accordingly in order to keep US market happy while still appealing to the much larger world market.

The Wow community is still growing even though many of us no longer play. So no it is not doomed in fact its flourishing.

Its true that Vanguard has improved but it still has issues according to some of my friends who have tried the game. The game has potential. They just need the right people to work on the game. If they can fix the game before there fanbase goes to unhealthy levels then they can make a comeback.

Whoa those pics of Lotro look pretty cool.

Good for Blizzard. There a good company and deserve to make money.  But I am still waiting for Gods and Heros to come out. Only thing that would interest me from Blizzard right now is a New Wow. Not an expansion but a new Wow all together. If Blizzard made a new Wow I would probably buy it.

Yeah I think it has a longer lifespan than you think. It doesn't take 1 million subs to make a game profitable. So I wouldn't be suprised if this game is around for years to come.

I noticed that alot of people are pumped up about this game. War might do well.

Those two will definetly attract people to come to look at the booth and they might take a look at the game when they are there. But they may be too good looking that everyone is staring at them and not paying attention to game features and such so essentially they aren't helping to promote the game. But they are nice to look at though .

I don't know about you guys but this game looks good to me. They are still working on certain aspects of the game such as PVP but I think once they work that out it will be one hell of a game. Oh and grouping is necessary because you and your four minions is no match for a mob of 15+ monsters.
