LOL...because I made this thread BEFORE that guy? maybe? Look at the times of creation for both threads.

here's a hanky for the egg.

Seriously though...if someone could find a video of it...post it!

holy crap...that was pretty freakin awesome. I wasn't really looking at the game all that much, but now I think I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on it.

If anyone can get a video of it...please post it.

EDIT: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-star-wars/49936

Let the nerdgasming commence

Thanks latinus!

Okay...they've got my interest...now let's see some game play. Races? Classes? Open world or instanced?

Lol...I love it when people use the excuse that other big AAA MMOs are coming soon and Funcom won't be able to compete with them...

what makes you think for a second that those MMOs won't end up like all the other post-WoW MMOs?

I love it... LOVE IT... how Funcom can turn everything into failure.

The first anniversary, such a great moment, the game survived and is getting better, let's repay the players for sticking with us, we've got some great lore, let's use it and create something memorable, let's...

HAVE THE PLAYERS GO FROM ONE WEBSITE TO ANOTHER AND SEARCH FOR KING'S SEALS

 

After such a successfull event only a fool wouldn't believe in Funcom' s ability to deliver an expansion.

Just after the Xbox360's version is released, of course.

Hey! Thanks for proving my point! Especially considering the anniversary event wasn't even MENTIONED in the OP.

I doubt they will be coming out with anything other then hype, so far they are still trying to fix the game for the way it should have been at release. They will hype promise and make excuess's and the magic fix is always in the next patch. Meanwhile they are putting out hype on there new game The Seceret World.

anyone who didnt stop playing after a few weeks after they hit 80 is a dumbass.

LOL, that is purely a matter of taste. I have played ALOT of mmos (more than 20), and i have a pretty high standard when it comes to mmos, and i have been playing my level 80 assassin for months.
And theres a shit load to do. EG. Pvp raid with your guild in kesh or more importantly sieges.

MY guild has a newly acquired keep (which we got from our arch nemisis (Covenant of Mor Di), and we have to defend it several times a week, and it is a BLAST to defend (it was also a blast trying to get one).

It takes a shit load of planing, to an extent which i have never seen.
We actually use a 3rd party program to plan out our defence (a program where admins can draw on a map etc. and it is all live streamed out to us). and we of cause use ventrillo ingame for communication.

What classes and players gets in the raid teams (each side can being 2 raid teams, and they are always full), and how they are grouped. Even what equipment and how the classes are specked have a say in what group and what task you get.
What each group, in each raids; primary, secondary and tertiary objectives are, is ALL planed out each time. Iv never seen so much strategy go in to it.

But it is when the siege its self start it is really starting to get interesting. EG Defending a breach in the 1st wall, while hearing updates from the other groups is just great. (3rd group "Catapult up SW, attemting to take it down", 6 and 7 group "We need backup" group 4 "alright coming from the NE" etc.)

These sieges is the most fun i have had in any computer game. I REALLY feel deeply involved in the battle.

Besides that i like to stalk/kill people in kesh alone as my assassin, but that is a matter of taste.

Theres also always mini-games and pve raids going on.

I would say Age of Conan has some of the best end game content of all the mmos i have seen.

This...This cannot be! Someone actually likes Age of Conan? I thought Funcom had a gun to the heads of every person subbing! You MUST be a schill! You must be working for Funcom!

hehe...how much you want to bet that someone dismisses you like that?

I love it...LOVE IT...how people can turn a simple question into a Funcom/AoC troll.

After patch 1.05 I think we might start seeing a shift towards the expansion. 1.05 will fix the last big problems with the game, so I think we'll start seeing them focus more on content, so my guess is we'll see the expansion in mid to late 2010, but so far they haven't mention anything more about the expansion.

Looks like you found some leaks from Blizzard's new MMO!

Pro-Tip: the minority always screams the loudest

I think there are a lot more mature people in WoW than there are immature ones.

funny how all the trolls come out of the woodwork when Funcom makes one mistake.

You're pushing it a little. We're not extreme at all, we just blend in the crowd. I often find people are surprised at how many roleplayers they are in their game whenever they decide to come out and speak up. Usually we just keep to our own fansites and roleplay guilds/groups however.

 

Whoa there. I never said roleplayers were extremists. I said they were an extreme minority. Roleplayers have followed the same pattern in most MMOs. They pick a server as the RP server, prove very active for a few months, begin to unite, dissipate, and then disappear into obscurity. Lionna.com (L2) and Landroval.org(LOTRO) are two great examples of that.

 

 

Yeah I understood what you meant by extremely small. I don't know about L2 never really played that game, LotrO when I was there, there was plenty of RP if a site died it may be because the community moved on to the Lorebook or other LotrO network sites, there was a few of them if I remember correctly.

Now you got me curious so I did a quick search and found many RP guilds on Landroval alive and well, the last RP event I found was this march the Moonlight Serenade. So again it's not because people don't roleplay in general chat anymore that it's not there. There's very good reasons why RP is no longer apparent.

Now I play EQ2 and WoW right now, and on Argent Dawn in WoW of ALL games I walked right smack into a circle of horde toons talking in character, I excused myself and went on my way.. :p Eq2 has their annual summer event coming up the Festival of Unity and I fully expect to participate and rp my ass off. :P

So while you may have to search around a bit roleplay is not that obscure.

 

EQ2(AB), like UO(Europa/Catskills), has a pretty decent RP community , but the other MMOs... I mean, you pointed it out perfectly when you said that there's only been one RP community event in three months on the player-designated RP server.

How many roleplayers do you feel there are in each MMO? A hundred? Four hundred, maybe?

Go to the servers Moon Guard and Wyrmrest Accord in WoW, then come here and tell me RP is dying off.

Roleplayers don't make "U HAPPY NAO?!? I QUITAZOR!!!!" threads.

no, but I still see "I quit threads" from RPers.

mostly "Well, you really don't care about the RP aspect of your game, so see ya I suppose."

Completely false man. Everyone has imagination, everyone in this world can come up with something unique. I agree that it doesn't always apply to make a story about your character and become your character, au contraire, not everyone can act. That's a major difference.

Roleplayers community are very un-inviting for the mass. People have to attain a certain standard for them and that's simply... sad. It's basic inter-personnal rejection and sorry but you actually seem like one of them.

 

Earlier, I mentioned about my 9 year old clan. Well, some of our guys started with us when they were 13 or 12... little kids. However, when we met them, they were cool and while they did say odd jokes, they enjoyed being with us. Now these guys are adults and extremely good players. They have become our little brothers and even today, some of them are really happy to have met us when they were young. Us 25+ at the time, accepted them and took care of them and worked on a friendship. Today, we're a hardcore PVP guild in MMOs and a competitive clan in FPS.

That's probably why after all these years, many people decided to threat Roleplayers as lower classes.

 

 

 

 

There are elitist people everywhere, not just in the RP community. I think the biggest problem with RPers (and sometimes I'm even guilty of this) is not having very much patience with beginners. If you break lore, you'll probably end up on a few RPer's ignore list. I began RPing in WoW, so I've seen sluts, vampires, lycans, sons of arthas, kings of lands unknown, the guy who single-handedly took over Silvermoon...oh yes, I've seen it all, but this is exactly what people are afraid will happen to their game. They don't want the world to be filled with things that obviously break the lore.

there just isn't much patience anymore. PvEers, PvPers, RPers...they all suffer from a lack of patience when dealing with almost anything in a game anymore.

My advice to fellow RPers: Kindly explain to the person how their character is breaking lore. If they throw a hissy fit...well there's a /ignore command for a reason.

Please Note: KINDLY!

If they did sort of a relaunch I would certainly play for a while. I've always been interested in Vanguard and even trialed it a little, but I need a nice RP community to keep me going :)

In AoC, the developers keep telling us that features for RPers on not high on the list...guess what?

 

WE...DON'T...NEED...FEATURES!

 

They are nice an helpful, but really all we need are empty towns and taverns and castles. Places that we can fight for (an empty castle would be really cool). WE TAKE THE PLACE OF NPCs! We don't need player housing and or being able to play instruments...are they nice? Definitely. Do we need them to RP? No. We just need space. Lots of space...and aren't MMOs supposed to be worlds? I'd say worlds are pretty big. So Mr. Developer, if you could manage to give us an empty town and a few empty castles here and there...I think you'll find that we can be quite an asset to your game. We are the ones that will continue to play through imbalanced classes. We are the ones that will keep up our sub even if the next raid is two months off. We are your stability. JUST GIVE US SPACE!!!

 

and to those who STILL think that RPers use "thees" and "thous"...go to your game's RP server and watch a little bit. I think your eyes will be opened. I'll admit I'm a newer RPer. I have been at it for about a year now, but in all that time I've never seen someone say "thee" or "thou".

 

I see where you are going with this, but I don't totally agree.  The developers need to give us the tools, or "props" if you will, to role play with.   It's hard to role play a tavern if there is no way to dispense drinks, or no musical instruments to play.  While I agree that we need more areas to use for role playing, I also believe we need the tools to make it immersive. While I still consider LOTRO to be a theme park wow clone, the little things they had in there such as playing music or smoking your pipeweed really add a lot to the immersion of the game world.  Games need to focus more on these little details.

O no, I totally agree. It helps a lot, but the real basics that will keep role players mostly happy is places to bring their ideas to fruition.

Those little details are certainly important, but not necessarily NEEDED. I certainly agree with you.

I'd say LotRO and AoC are both pretty good bets for RP.

I would say WoW, but I'd probably be eaten alive and then shat on a Night Elf's face.

You know, my first thought was to write up a long post explaining to those who don't understand exactly what RP is and isn't, but then when the anger subsided...I realized that I don't really care about what lolwut'ers think anymore. They continue to use the cliche that all RPers use "Thee" and "Thou". They continue to look upon RPers as nerds in their mom's basement. I can explain RP until I'm blue in the face, but when all is said and done you won't care. You just want a group of people to pick on so that you feel better about yourself. I don't know what make people feel the need to put down RPers and frankly I'm not sure I want to know, because it's probably something very personal and emotional for those people.

My advice to you: look at is from my shoes. Do a little research on what RPing really is. And I want you to think to yourself...what would the world be if there weren't people like us. People with creativity in acting and writing and story telling. What would the world be without us geeks?

Does Vanguard have a RPing community? Just a little curious...always like to keep an eye open for a good RPing community :)
