If you are looking for the low fantasy version of the Three Kingdoms storyline, you should try Kingdom Heros. It doesnt have the over the top effects, but it does have more complex gameplay.

They are two different games... and it depends on whether you are looking for glitz or gameplay.

Thanks for the info and the link, I had no idea this game was in development. I'm a sucker for anything Three Kingdoms but what I'm witnessing from PW is way over the top for me. Signing up for the beta now.

Ashen Empires should work.

Fun mmo that is still active. Its ftp with a sub option and a fluff cash shop, has both pve and a pvp server. Great crafting and magic systems and a huge world. Good luck.

Then...

If the person given the scroll resubs the giver gets a free month, yes? 

I think a clarification from the mmorpg.com gods is in order.

I find this thread ...disturbing. Is a stalker in our midst?

Sounds to me like people who are pro hard death penalties are really just wanting a gaming mechanism that punishes players that either make mistakes or play stupidly. 

Yes. I don't want game mechanics protecting idiocy. Some people need the rules adjusted in such a way to protect them from themselves, some of us don't. If I do something stupid I expect it to hurt, and if I can get a leg up on a player because they acted like an idiot I will take advantage of it. 
 

I use warp to zero every gate, never really bothered me. I only used autopilot when I was new and didn't know any better. I understand others have brought up the same issue but I don't think anything could or should be done about it. An hour to make 30 jumps? I do alot of lowsec roaming and it takes me nowhere near that long using warp to 0. Maybe it just feels like an hour?

Or says Massively. Can't see any actual announcement on either the QOL or Alganon sites yet.

Replacing him? Derek Smart. Is it April 1st already?

Derek. Derek Smart. I have a renewed interest in Alganon and for all the wrong reasons. One of the most unpopular gaming figures teamed up with one of the least popular mmos ...what could possibly go wrong?

I've done it, and I've witnessed others doing it. Just because you can't believe it or conceive how it's done doesn't mean it's not possible. 
 

 

I dont mean to burst any bubbles on here.. but.. I will still say it's impossible for a 1 year vet to compete with a six year vet in a 1 vs 1 same type ship scenario. A six year old will most likely have better shield points, more hull points, a faster ship,a more power  efficient ship,more power, better targeting range, faster targeting.

That is only a few things that I can name off the top of my head. A six year vet will most likely beable to run mods and implants that a 1 year player cant run that will give him a edge also. 

You're not bursting my bubble. Again, just because you lack the experience to figure it out does not mean that others haven't. I've done it. Corp mates have done it. Friends have done it. Enemies have done it. In short ...it's been done.

I agree. This is going to be the NGE of the internet.

Aight - I'll take your advice and I'll to do something challenging.

 

What do I do? I have no clue.

 

 

Challenging + fun + profit = win.

Learn how to probe www.youtube.com/watch.

Practice hunting down exploration sites in high sec then move to low sec for the MUCH improved profits and the added challenge of not getting podded. Later you can move on to exploring wormholes and 0.0. This is what I do for isk, its fun and profitable. No need to run missions; I hate them and never do them. Read up on the EVE forums and join the "exploration" channel in EVE. Theres lots of tricks to not getting caught in gate camps and such so don't get discouraged when you get podded, hang in there it happens to all of us. 

If you're looking for quick and cheap pvp action check out "Red vs Blue" which are two corps with continual war decs on each other. If you're in a Minmatar region you can fit a cheap frig and head out to any belt in Amamake, someone will usually pop up within minutes. If not make yourself known in local. Get popped a bunch of times and make some friends and who knows maybe you'll find a pirate corp you like.

Thats just a couple of quick ideas, there are many others for you to discover on your own. Point is many of us never do missions, mine, haul or any of that nonsense unless we're in the mood and we desire to do those things. If you're looking for excitement stop doing mini games and get out of high sec. Don't just play EVE, participate in EVE.

such a shame then pretty sure the game would be about 100x more popular if u actually controlled the ship not look at while is does it for u. Really lost on how people say this game take skill if it is automated /shrug

EVE isn't a "spaceship" simulator, but a "universe" simulator. Which just so happens to be have a populace largely consisting of those with low moral fiber and deprived of love as a child, now acting out revenge on all those whom do not serve their selfish needs. I for one am proud to be counted among them.

Not currently, at least not that I'm aware of. It has been brought up by players in the past www.eve-search.com/thread/1142733/page/1 and www.eve-search.com/thread/993604/page/1. I'm neutral on the topic, although piloting a Vagabond with a flight stick and foot controls would be pretty cool if feasible. I'm not sure that enough players would be interested to make the development resources justifiable though.

Some of my favorite old-school type RPGs are:

http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com - "Avernum" and "Geneforge" series

and

http://basiliskgames.com/ - "Eschalon"

Turn based strategy (open source)

www.wesnoth.org - "The Battle for Wesnoth"

FYI Regarding Neverwinter Nights-  I have owned NWN since release and I still have it installed and continue to play almost weekly. Many quality community made mods are available and even more are still being developed. If interested just pick up the "Diamond Edition" of NWN, it contains the major expansions. The community mods are free, a scan through the NWN forums should get you headed in the right direction.

Good luck.

Virtually all PVP in EVE is 20 vs 1. You may be on either side of that equation, but the result is the same: boredom.

2 years in and I'm not bored, am I doing it wrong?

Nice review, considering resubbing now. I especially agree that the quality of the quests are a major draw. They tend to read like a book as opposed to a series of directions with a plot carrot diced and tossed in. This quality pulls me into the storytelling element in such a way that I unconsciously paint my character onto the pages by my own volition.
