  • Considering how many games SOE ist running at the moment (Planetside,SWG,EQ,EQ2,PotBS,MxO,Vanguard..) and the ones they have in development (Agency,Free Realms,...) and the ones they are going to buy along the way... don't see it happening.

    I am  pretty sure that what they are still looking for is something to compete with WOW. With EQ2 they were a bit unlucky - the franchise was not popular enough amongts non-MMO gamers, it was somewhat buggy and unfinished at release etc... I could imagine that their next big project will be something either with a very popular franchise or a new approach to the genre alltogether. Probably the former....

• • Has anyone thought of making a "300" online MMORPG?

  • ...the story would be what, exactly? That movie is about one battle...

    Classes....? Soldier, Soldier, Soldier and Soldier?

    There is no way to translate such a shallow plot into a MMO - let alone the RPG part.

  • I'd go with WOW.

    Not because it's the greatest game ever to grace the internet, but because it is quite easy to get into. If you want to interest her into MMOs at all, you should not pick a game with a steep learning curve, or she will give up very quickly. There is a reason why this game is so damn successful.

• • Day 2, mas questions =P

  • 
    
    1. Are there class specific quests or something? Or like character class upgrades? Or is it , just hit 50 and get some gear then pvp..
    1) Epic Quests - these are class specific quests that are given to you by your trainer, I think it was the one in the capital of the respective realm. They start at around 7 or something and end at 45 with the epic armor, which is a class specific set with reasonably good stats and a unique look.

    2) Champion levels, also see above. Not only give you a class specific, unique-looking weapon, but also allow you to further specialize your character by learning abilities from other classes. So a melee class would be able to learn a bit of magic, for example. Nothing too powerful, but useful in battle.

    
    2. Is it possible to respec later on? I have been spending my points in 2h / Valor , if I decide later on to switch my playstyle can I respec?

    That's a good spec for Champs in RVR - all in 2h, Rest in valor and whatever is left in Parry - if I remember correctly. Sword/Shield Champs are very rare, for many reasons - but mostly because they Def-Tank role is better filled with a Hero (more hit points, among other things).
    
    3. Is there anything important that I should know about or not to forget to do?
    
    4. How should I spend my realm skills?

    Hm... purge (allows you to free yourself from mezzes and stuns), aug. str (increases your damage and chance of hitting your oponent)... mayyyyybe determination, but I am not sure if Champs do that these days. Deter reduces the duration of negative effects. As a hybrid tank you will not fully benefit from that - Full tanks have a base determination that, combined with a high spec in determination, can make them practically immune towards most forms of crowd control (melee stuns excluded). Also, it only makes sense if you can spec it to maybe 4 - and that is really expensive. Maybe something for lvl 50 RVR, not battlegrounds. 
    
    Thanks for the help!

• • Question of Restarting

  • I think you can download the game client from the Mythic (or GOA, if you are an EU player) - also, if you still got the discs, you only need to install the latest version(expansion), since it includes the all the content that came before it (including the base game)
