  • He is so right on this matter - even on the 'role playing' servers, not THAT much role playing goes on anymore.  In EQ it is an easy place to get all the 'l33t' gear as the flagging os NODROP is removed; in WoW it is just anotehr server - BUT in both cases I have seen some truly GREAT role playing going on, In EQ we played in a great guild by the name 'The Fighting Chefs of Norrath' where in the early days we literaly adventured to gain ingredients to cook with, whether it was Guk ale or Wyrm steaks...  In WoW the Scarlet Brotherhood were truly awesome to behold, theirreligious fervour caused all manner of great arguments, but slowly it slipped into personal attacks at the players behind the game and at my last sight of them they were a shadow of their former sleves (I hope you made it back there).  On LotRO there is an enforced role play server that seems to be standingup well; but the race to be the first to the highest level will always take priority over the time to kick back and smoke some pipeweed or have a drink watching the sun go down over the bay while the pirates maneuver round the reef to try tp get into port and safety.

  • Just wacthed this on YouTube.  Great to see someone talking about their game in detail, showing what is actuallyhappening and how to use the game.  Certainly combat looks to be very intense and I loved his parting comment .. something like "Comabt is about going in hard into a group of enemies and doing as much damage as you can before you go down" - SUCH IS THE LIFE OF A BARBARIAN.

    Roll on May and when we can finally play AoC.

• • General: Gary Gygax Dies at Age 69

  • I was lucky enough to have played i one of his games at a UK GenCon a few years ago now.  To have met him was a great honour, to be invited to a game was awesome.

    Truly a loss to the gaming world, where would we be without him?

    Gary, keep on rolling those dice.
