I really hope this means I can sit in my megathron in orbit and fire nuclear missiles down on a planets surface and vaporize xbox live kiddies.

I'm surprised they are going console only. I would have played this game if it had a pc launch. I hate console fps games. I cant stand those stupid dual analogs. Keyboard and mouse forever. Well if a bunch of xbox live brats screw up my alliances soveriengty too much they'll lose subs by the thousands.

If they are smart they will realize that the real strength of NWN is user made content. If they were to make a MMOG with a well integrated way to create content, it will be a huge success. That would put the game into its own niche.

Totally agree I played the first campaign in the first game through it sucked. I played the two expansions and got bored but I never got bored of the user made content. I played user made worlds in nwn 1 for 5 years. Without user made content I have 0 interest in nwn 3. If I'm gonna play a new mmo I'll wait for quality titles from Square Enix and Bioware and skip the mass produced garbage cryptic seems to want to spew.

What a shame the NWN franchise is going to be ruined.

NO Im not going back to ffxi anymore. I was thinking about wasnt sure but now Ill wait till ffxiv.

They released a trailer just a few minutes ago...no ingame footage yet, but it WAS announced as PS3 exclusive (ie no PC/360)

http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/ In their info section it lists both platforms windows and ps3. Lets hope the ps3 doesnt hold back the windows version the way the ps2 held back ffxi.

I dont get what the big deal is here. I mean an event where nothign happens? What could be more appropriate to celebrate a year of funcoms ineptitude?

I played this game wayyy back in its NA release. I quit around level 30 and went away for yeatrs. Last year I had an itch to play this game again and I brought my gf on. She hated it and we wound up going back to city of heroes but now I am getting the itch to play this game again girlfriend be damned!

The last time I resubbed I never tried to get my old character back. I know the chances are slim but is it possible to get old characters back? I know Squares policy on this was after 3 months they could be gone but that was like 6 years ago have they changed this? Is there a chance I could get back either of my old characters (if I could get back my 30 war from my original sub Id be really really happy.) I logged into play online.com but the website has woefully few options on it and it wont seem to recoginize my content id.

Has SEs customer service for matters like this improved or is it still as poor as it was at the NA launch? I wish they didnt make this so hard with every other mmo its easy I left aoc,coh,eve and wow for various lengths of time and all those games had my characters waiting for me when I returned except Aoc because I havent tried to return to that one. I hope theyve changed this strange policy.

Im very skeptical. Aventurine has a piss poor track record of releasing anything. Theyve never put out a game and this game has been in limbo for nearly a decade.

It may come out but honestly I think when it does the DF fanbois are gonna see how small the ffa pvp full loot sandbox crowd really is. For your sake I hope theres enough of you to keep df limping along

This game will be a niche game for sure. FFA pvp and full loot is way too hardcore to appeal to the majority of the market. It will have its niche of oldschool UO and Shadowbane players who still have a hardon for those old games.

I was going to write a long winded explination on why AoC failed me personally,,  but after spending 4 years waiting and watching it prior to release for the game to completely change from a finsihed product to hell on earth which was nothing like it was supposed to be i thought bugger it..  

 

good luck to those that play it, i hope you find it worth the £10.49 a month.

Me..  i'll stick to playing City of Heroes/Villains till Star Trek online or Knights of the old republic online come out.

Antaran I know you from the STo forums. Yea I followed AOC too what a monumental letdown. Back to City of for me too.

at least you didnt buy the ce like I did Cel

more of the same. Theyve been saying the pvp patch and new content is coming soon forever.

Nothing new here. They've been showing off dx10 images from well before launch... when it was promised to us at launch. Even a month before launch they promised dx10 at launch. Too little too late. Screw you Failcom.

I was one of those people that was really hyped abotu it. I bought into the hype. Pre ordered the collectors edition played in open beta (got an ign account just for that) I got in on early access I even bought an aoc mousepad.

Well it taught me a great lesson, NEVER believe the hype, Thats why I refuse now to jump on the OMG WAR WILL BE THE BESTEST MMO EVAR bandwagon.

I hope its a new FF mmo. and I hope its not as tedious, frustrating and grindy as ffxi. I playd ffxi for a bit but the game was just so frustrating. I woudl love to play another FF mmo tho that remedied some of the intensly frustrating aspets of ffxi.

FFXI had some great ideas. I still think the job class system was the best class system ever in an mmo,

Following this game closely. I hope they do a good job and dont ruin the ST property the way other mmos have ruined their ips. (AoC, SWG, MXO)

no it might help smooth over pissed off fans but it would cost them even more money. The ship is sinking faster then they can plug the holes.

Probably not. Not unless they revamp class design to make dps casters less boring and one dimensional. Playing a mage in that game was really boring. Geting out dpsed by a priest is pathetic and their aversion to healing/support roles killed the game for my gf who's traditionaly played healers. She didnt like the game much at all and neither did I. I found myself playing a priest to fulfill my favored role of caster dps. Which I thought was bizzare.

IF those problems get fixed then the answer is maybe. Depends on what mmos are out at the time. If theres something else out thats good (STO, AION, CO, DCUO, or Kotor) then no theyve lost me. If these problems get fixed before any of them come out or if all of them are bad then I might.

I havent played warhammer beta, havent been that interested and still am not at all interested in warhammer. But I seriously doubt it could be worse then Age Of Conan in any regard. It might be but they would have to actually TRY to make it worse then Age of Conan is now.

soe would make a bad situation worse.

Well played FunCom.  You create the Gem system, you know its wrong and was wrong from the beginning.  You don't want to tweak nor fix it, because you know your players have invested 100s of gold to get the gems they wanted because they were stackable, everyone knew that was a bad idea from day 1.

So what do you do?  Create a Dup'ing problem (that has never shown up) to allow you to STOP the gem problem, and since you have sold it as not your fault, you can now correct it RIGHT.

Wow, such a great plan... well... that is if no one caught it.

FYI- I no longer play AOC, I could care less about AOC, I have nothing against AOC.

I just call it like I see it. 

1.  Everyone knew gem stacking was wrong, FunCom did nothing

2.  It became a HUGE problem that they new if they tried to nurf it themself it would be a disaster.

3.  So create a dupe problem, now they can fix it and blame it on that..

Very Kewl ... I am impressed.

 

Courious how long this post will be up before its removed.. oh well.. just wanted the truth out there...
