• • How many former STAR WARS GALAXIES developers now work at BiOWARE?

  • I agree with most of what you write and I think that the list you wrote down is keys to make it a successful game.

    12) Best items and components needed by crafters come from PVE and RAIDING.

    I don't want components needed by crafters to come from raiding. Raiding is fun but when it is a must and you need to do it a bunch of times every week to stay in a guild, then suddenly it is not fun anymore and this is one of the reasons I quit WOW and most of my friends with me. I loved it the first 100 times, after that it grew old.

    My dream is to have a huge planet system and that you could get some of the components just by exploring. Maybe you and a friend decide to explore a planet and with a little luck you will find a place where you find resources. Next week, perhaps it is somewhere else. Random spawning points in a huge world, but still within some limitations of course. You wont find polarbear poo in a djungle for an example. Spawning points sometimes guarded by NPCs and sometimes not. To me this would be a great thing because that way we won't get 1 billion sites on internet telling us exactly where to go to get that and that component.

    And those places could be a reason for guilds to fight eachother if  two have found them at the same time. I want a game where you could travel around alone exploring and have some success in crafting instead of having to join a huge guild and raid three times a week or buy components from those guild for ridicolous prices.

    It opens up so many opportunities. Let say you're a crafter and have found one of those places. In a huge world not many will find the same place perhaps in a week. He knows this place is guarded by something that he can't beat by himself, so he has to buy help. I would love a system like this. A system where you can get money for helping out a stranger to get his components. A system where you can get help if you are in a guild without having to pay or pay for some help if you like to play alone most of the time.

    Well lot of thoughs and in bad english I know. :)

• • Will I be dead before I see another great mmorpg with a nice community?

  • I am playing LOTRO over at Laurelin (roleplaying server) in europe and have to say that the people from level 1-50 were just incredible nice. People gave helpful answers if someone asked for help, people didn't sneak up and stole resources when you got into a fight when you were about to mine etc etc...

    Then I started to play PvMP and I am having a blast, but geeeeeeeeez, the people in there are probably the worst I have ever met. Not all of course, because there are probably more kind people than the other way around, but the annoying people are the one that you hear.

    Suddenly you're the worst human on earth for playing a hunter, burglar or loremaster? Why? Well, they consider burglar and loremasters to be easy mode and hunters are ALL leechers of renown (pvp-points) because they just stand in the back and "pew pew".

    New people in there often get called names? Why? Well, because they will in the next patch update so that you're able to buy rewards at different ranks, so all new players are only playing because they want those rewards, not because they like it, sigh.

    If you get stars around your portrait for not getting killed very often, well then you're a coward, so the best thing to do is to suicide ten times or something to get rid of those stars.

    And since freeps can have creeps on the same server, you'll hear constant whining about how the freeps are overpowered and how bad we are. One freep got attacked by three creeps when a hunter saw this he helped of course. Guess what, for 20 minutes you had to hear about how stupid the "huntard" was for helping when it was a duel.

    I enjoy the pvp a lot and I have to have the OOC-channel open to be able to give and get intel, but most of the people in there are the worst kind of elitists I have ever met and I have played most of the games out there. I can't believe the community that were so incredible while I leveled turned into what it is in Ettenmoors (pvp-zone).

    So, if you asked me 3-4 months ago I would say LOTRO without doubt and if you dont like PvMP then I still would. I doubt other LOTRO servers have the same problem, so of all the games I've played I would recommend LOTRO, but stay away from European Laurelin if you like PvP and don't want grey hair for reading the OOC-channel. :)
