• • Decline of Communities and Worlds

  • I suspect it being equal parts us just being old farts and the post 2003 deluge of theme park  silliness.

    I've yet to see a title harness the challenge of UO, EQ1, AC & DAOC minus the timesinks. First company that achieves this will have a gold mine on their hands. I hoped Vanguard would be the one but allas I'm still waiting.

    Perhaps it's time to face facts today's games are built to compete with WOW which is a flawed strategy.

    Blizz has made their money so try some ideas of your own.

• • Hardest boss encountered in an MMORPG?

  • While I left EQ1 in disgust via GOD (Gates of Discord) Planes of Power holds a special place for me

    Pick of any of the four Elemental Boss encountered (Rathe Council, Xeogany, Sol Ro, Povar) needed for Plane of Time access. You actually had to have skill AND knowledge of your class to beat  these encounters my friends.

    What sticks out most to me though is the pre-elemental boss RZTW (Rallos Zek The Warlord) encounter. That oldie but goodie required splitting you're raid force in half. You had to trust your captains to lead effectively. Nuff said

    *Sniffle* aww...the good ole days.

    Oh wait... IF WoW were that great then how come a troll like you trolling this thread instead of playing WoW like a troll?.

    I do not believe in troll..

     

    Thanks for making me spit water all over my keyboard bub.

    WOW was fun in it's day but many of us are waiting for something new. That's no slight against WOW it's just old and dated. *Sigh* kinda like my beloved EQ1.

    *Psst* I don't believe in Troll either..

    That's the truth.

    Gameplay all the way, how can anyone vote different?

    The only non-gameplay thing that really makes a difference IMO is the sound/music.

     

    Because it's 2008 and there's no excuse for a title not having BOTH Gameplay & Bleeding edge Graphics....PERIOD. If your dev team can't accomplish both do us all a favor and quit the game. Hell you can license a good graphics engine.

    No excuses.
