Call it generic *asian* mythology if any please


And although the game is sub based out in the Asian market, it *does not* mean that it will automatically be sub based over here. Yes, there is a strong chance of that happening, however until it launches, never say never.

I was just going by what the *English* Blade and Soul website was stating in terms of sub fee.

Hyung-tae Kim, who worked on several games in the past as an artist (Magna Carta series, War of Genesis: Tempest, War of Genesis III and War of Genesis III: Part 2)

Aren't you assuming that it is going to be sub based? Even on the official website, they state that they still haven't decided if it is going to be F2P/Hybrid/Sub based...

Well, it *was* just a general mass mail out. I got the email on an NCsoft master account that *doesn't* have City of Heroes attached to it.

I think you are reading into it a little bit too much here, although I can see where you are coming from.

Side note: I don't have the option to flick my lineage 2/Aion accounts over *yet* (actually, to be honest, i wont be able to flick my Aion account over anyway, as i am on an EU account).

Why didn't Guild Wars flick over? I don't know, why don't you ask the Arena.net guys?

Why wasnt City of Heroes flicking over? I don't know, why dont you ask the Paragon Studio guys...

I remember seeing the "transfer the account" page for the past few months though.

Correction: You do still need to find the "correct" NPC to do repairs in WoW, they are *mainly* the weapon/armour/reagent vendors. The others will *not* repair your stuff.

Same here, although i am tempted to go and get my old hami outfit made up again (green and purple stripes, with a bullseye on the chest)

Is that it? I have 92 free tailor sessions on one character....

On the PC?

Needs a feck load of tweaking to be able to get it to run well. On my PC, I was suffering a lot of jitter. Looked good, but played badly in my mind

At least with the games with an inventory, even if your bags *are* full, you are not denied from getting "the uber weapon of pwnage". Yes, you have to mess around, choose what to drop, but you are not *denied* the drop.

In City of Heroes, you just never know what you missed out on due to full bags (which i suppose is a bonus).

Plus side to WoW recently... AoE looting (yeah I know, small things small minds... but it is a QOL improvement)

Looks like we had similar plans. Soon after the close of beta (or the launch of the retail client), i already had a GLM file extractor that would just rip all the files out of their containers.

It was a good way to get the music files (and also "name that tune" for the ones that were not titled.. >.>). Oh, and the base announcements, some of them were *very* funny

Not necessarily, i have been flicking from premium to VIP on the forums for the past few months... it seems to stay for a few hours and then forgets that you were actually premium.

I got pissed off with Temple of The Eternal Night D&D Game. Played it for 100+ hours, got up to a point which would crash the game and computer.

There were no patches that fixed that problem.

Solution:

Restart the game.

No worries... Hell, I knew that I should have spent more time talking to players at the meet over the weekend!

To be honest, it is always a hard one though to get right, I know people that dislike *one* fantasy MMO, but love another, even if the 1st one has everything that the 2nd one does... *shakes head*

This is why I am always willing to help out and point people in a direction or two!

That sounds similar to what happened to me.

However, i was a about 1/2 IO slotted, some SO (all red), the rest *blank* Fire/Psi dom.


We managed to get the MoLRSF on the 1st attempt

To be fair, one of the Guild Wars 2 fan-sites was compromised, and as some people out there have the *really nice* habit of reusing the same email address and password combination for several sites/games out there, some of them got compromised that way.

Me, although i use the same email address for several sites, i also have a unique password (and also in some cases an authenticator if needed) to help improve my security.

*shrugs* If said person is dumb and used the same password across *related* sites, with the same email address, and the fan site gets compromised... then i would *immediately* change the password to my game account (as well as to the fan site account).

The same thing happened with one of the Aion fansites out there (AionSource i believe) soon after the release of Aion in the western market.

tl;dr, some of the "hacks" *are* down the player stupidity for using the same email account *and* password across different websites AND their game account.

Well Unearthed managed to get a refund to his card earlier on...

Define grind though...

Some of the CoX badges are a definite grind to get, and i know people who would constantly AFK away nights or *weeks* in lava pools whilst on holiday to get the damage received badges.

I think for GW2 it is more annoying in that people *wanted* to hit the level cap as fast as they could, and if they could get at least *some* progress whilst being at work then they would do it. To be honest, this "must get to cap as fast as possible" mentality is something that i always ignore, and if people complain about a lack of stuff to do at the cap 2 weeks into an MMO that has just launched... i will tell them to "slow down and smell the roses". People are more competative today, and even in "non pvp mmo's" you still see people burning to the cap in just a few days.

*shrugs* Personally, in any MMO, I would have it so that no matter what you would be logged out automatically between 30 and 60 minutes of no movement.

Course, that is easy enough to get around if you just have a macro set up on your keyboard (autohotkey if you don't have a fancy keyboard) to hit forward and back every couple of minutes to "keep the connection alive".

I *believe* that Borderlands was originally developed as one... there are enough trappings around that hint that it was being done as one originally.

I was just going through the MMO's out there... not all the ones in that list have died either... some are still in development.

It was a follow on phrasing that i screwed up on. But yes, in general most of the Sci-Fi orientated MMO's seem to not do as well as Fantasy ones, quite possibly because they are the "sci fi" version of a fantasy game, and something doesnt just transfer over between the two.

I was more trying to put across that there were still quite a few Sci-FI games in development (or had been developed). Hell, i hadnt even hit the mech games, the generic FPS's with online servers and so on.

It is hard for when someone says "i dont want fantasy, i want Sci-fi" I try to find out what it is that they want from it.

Is it a change of setting, with the same combat system and progression as City of Heroes? Is it change all of the above?

There are so many things that need to be taken into consideration to find the correct game.

To be honest, fantasy is fairly easy to slip into, because so much of it can be "generic" and transferable. And I am just referring to books here.

Side note: The combat setting for TERA puts me off it, i am not a *huge* FPS fan, and i am picky of the ones that i like. Borderlands i can cope with because it has a nice sense of humour behind it, and the targeting was floaty enough for *me* to like.

Expand that please a bit more.... TO's were usable by anyone... however DO's and SO's were *not* usable by everyone.

Before the market came along, i spent more time vendoring the stuff that i could not use or just destroying them (thanks for limited storage guys!)

Have you tried Planetside? Borderlands (ok, granted not an MMORPG, but you can quite easily get friends in to play with you in your game world). Tabula Rasa was another (with a 3rd person target locking system).

There was also Earthrise, Matrix Online, Anarchy Online, Eve Online, Star Trek, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Wars Galaxies, Defiance (due to be released soonish i hear), Global Agenda, Tribes...

Why have they died? What would they need to have changed so that they could stay afloat?

People say that SW:TOR is "WoW in space" especially concerning the combat. However to break out of that combat style, you are then looking at 3rd/1st person combat system.

Which works for *some* MMORPG's, but not necessarily for others. And with Science Fiction tending towards a lot of ranged combat (guns, guns and more guns... ooh look a sword), it would work.

Planetside, Tribes, Global Agenda. What needs changing from THOSE games to make the game that you are looking for?

There is also Firefall in development (which reminds me of Tabula Rasa to be honest)

Anne McCaffrey would like to have a word with you then (well she would if she was still alive )

She classified her books as science fiction, but when you start reading them, they are definitely fantasy.

However, once you read enough of the books, you discover that it is actually science fiction.

Thank you Anne for a marvelous 40 years of writing.
