For me that sounds some biased vindictous fanboy or paid idiot is trying to trash talk c9.

I get the same feeling.

I have not played the game but Spunkify mentioned that C9s graphics were on par or maybe slightly better than that of Vindictus.

And from other videos I have seen of C9 the combat is just far more interesting than anything Vindictus ever offered.

Myy question would be.. Why would someone spend ~1000$ for a weak PC when they would get a real PC ( and much more powerful ) for 1000$? Its almost like they are trying to trick console gamers into thinking this thing is as powerful as a gaming PC.

Skyrim, as it exists now, cannot be turned into an MMORPG. It would have to be altered until almost all semblance between Skyrim and the Skyrim MMORPG are gone.

What? Of course not because the Elder Scrolls MMO would contain all of the lands and not just a small place built for a single player. 

Bethesda would likely NOT be the studio that would make the MMO so it doesnt really matter what Todd says.

A TES MMO will eventually happen.

Large Decline because I dont think the game will be able to hold the PvE players.

About time they added a Monk class..

EQ2 has always looked nice in screenshots.. another story in motion IMO.

I am currently playing EQ2 on AB while waiting on the Beastlord class to return and lets face it... 90% of the games population will be Beastlords for a long time. But that means more people to play with at lower levels.

Looking forward to more screenshots.

Its a bad idea both ways.. The players can be messed over if the game shuts down and the company can be messed over if so many of their players are lifetime. Look at LoTRO.. Thats a pretty large reason why they went F2P because they had so many lifetime players playing the game they just didnt have that monthly income anymore.

Its just bad..

I like both setups personally.

However I think the tough mobs should have a reason for being so.. I can see an Orc Compound of season warriors being a hard fought battle but a simple wolf or a bat?

Finally! The one thing I never did much of in EQ2 was dungeon diving.. I was on the surface 99% of the time.

Going to make use of this for sure.

First thing I would lower is draw distance.. I have found it to have the biggest hit in performance without much visual gain. With everything maxxed I get ~25+ fps depending on the area and with the draw distance lowered I get 40-80fps no matter where or whats going on ( except for the Temple of Life in NQ.. those particles kill my frames for some reason ).

Just a quick reminder. This is the same person that didn't want to press "h" for help, then complained about the lack of help less than 2 minutes later.

Also, could  you point out why this merits a second thread. From the two places I quoted a month ago, it doesn't seem like there is any notable change from the review as discussed a month ago.  Without any new information, this looks like a duplicate thread being used to rehash a negative review.

Uhh.. It isnt the same person. Omer did the first look videos and a completely different person wrote the review.

Get it straight.

AT&T has something similar that disallows their customers to take part in a class action lawuit and get this... the courts actually let it fly.

Stand back! Google Masters at work people.

Anyway.. Who the heck cares? I mean I dont remember seeing in any history books with health bars and negative numbers over people heads.

Take it for what games are.. Entertainment.

Dwarves are always welcome and the Warborn sound interesting.

Except that isnt true with EQ2.. Antonia Bayle has as many players as the f2p server does and you also have a handful of medium servers to choose from if you do not want a crowd.

The world of TES would make for a good MMO setting IMO.. The scale of the world is really being lost on SP games.

And there is still that game out there being made by Matt Firor and Zenimax.. Though that may be a Fallout MMO considering how all the whining going on about the license.

I believe the email and I am pretty sure future SOE MMO's (and most other companies) will include a hybrid payment model in them.

I'm currently playing EQ2 Extended, paying 15.00 a month for a gold membership and have forked over about 40.00 for SC cash that I haven't even spent yet.

A friend I met on line spent 60.00 at Walmart on SC cards and turned them in for the double SC weekend and got about 120.00 worth of SC which he spent on everything from the latest expansion to numerous housing/fluff items.

Fact is, there's many players out there willing to spend more than 15.00 a month on a MMORPG and Smed and the rest of the industry have made note of it.

Like it or not, almost every game will look to maximize their revenue with some sort of cash shop, some more benign than others, but in the end the traditional P2P model is on its last legs.

Uhh..Why not just play Live? You can still use the SC but arent restricted like you are with a gold membership.

I cant say I like it in the game but there will be many people that use it and probably some that will make a living off it.

All I need to know is that Rift has had a free trial going for a long time now.. They obviously didnt do as well as they thought they would. It also inflates the accounts created number which the article pointed out.My problem with Rift? The character classes are boring to play and the multi class system works against it IMO.

---

WoW had millions of subs and gave out free trials left and right. They were obviously doing just fine so the free trial thing isn't an indicator of anything except the company wants to give out free trials.

 

 

WoW did not have free trials early in its life like Rift has had.. With Rift it has been pretty much since release.

I also forgot to mention that I also think Rifts world design is utterly pathetic for such a large budget. ( and small )
