Latest Blog Entry - Generations
From my blog Watch your back. [Vexe]
I guess it kinda sucks, to be born in 1991. I was 6 when UO came out and would not be even remotely interested in computer games until 7 years later when City of Heroes came out. Which means, my experience in practically anything historical in games in minimal because of my ignorance in looking up information about anything before that time in 2004. I don't know about UO. I have never played UO. All I know is that I was 6, it was 2-D, and now; it was seemless. I've never played everquest. I just know that they made a kinda OK effort at making realistic-looking people for the time and created a 3-D environment for socialization. Oh, and there were dragons. And dungeons, apparently.
Pretty much everything I could write about persists to the present and near future. I have no knowledge of the past. So I am researching now, and I would love anything that you have to add. Stories, incidents, or whatever. I think I'll become an MMO scholar of sorts. Or a Guru, solving problems for others or something like that. But my ultimate goal is to make my posts more accurate, cause I just kinda realized my ignorance on the topic in which I'm trying to write about.
I can't make a general article, essay or blog if I don't have the general information. Not to mention, I've discovered having my ideas curb-stomped is not fun.
So, feel free to tell me what you will.

- Is PC gaming going away over time?
PC gaming, as un-mainstream as it is, will go down VERY slowly and while putting up a fight. I personally think it's going to become more popular in the next few years. PCs have many many more options and can sometimes run even better than consoles. Not to mention a lot of more innovative games are made on PCs than consoles. So in my opinion it (being the death of PC gaming) will either happen very slowly, or go in the opposite direction.

- Citadel of Sorcery: An Introduction to CoS: Part One
With five years of development, maybe this is possible. Maybe. There are a lot of things that I kinda doubt you can do at this point in our technological history.
The thing that bothers me, though, is that this sounds a lot like a good single player experience. If this is an MMO, what's the point to having all this stuff if friends, parties, guilds and the such are not included? Yeah, that's great that you can take control of a town and command it's forces, but why you? Why couldn't someone else do the same thing? Would you still be able to take control? You shouldn't, but it takes away from the fun if you can't at the same time. That's a problem. If every event is instanced just for you, that takes away from the fun of the multiplayer experience.
I'm interested to see where this turns up, though. Even if it doesn't succeed (and you guys honestly mean it when you say your engine can do all this stuff) then at the very least other companies can use the engine and improve on what you guys have. That's if you don't succeed, though. I'm saying you won't.
I'm interested to see where this game is going.
