Re: EverCrack
Yeah I remember you. I used to play a ranger mainly so read those boards primarily. But always played with a friend who was a shaman, and he was lazy, so I had to read the shaman boards myself and teach him how to play. I read all the boards a bit. I've always been much more interested in game development and philosophy issues than the specifics of any game. It's been interesting to examine some of the recent train wrecks that have been produced to see where they went wrong. Strangely enough the answer seems to always have a lot to do with selling out for short term $$, in some form or another. The best is when the devs give into letting gamers have imediate gratification so that they themselves can have immediate financial gratification instead of a solid and longstanding title. Ah, America..sigh.

Re: EverCrack
Yup. Whatever class has the most members is the most likely to be heard and rewarded.
MMORPG's sometimes seem like little more than a race to convince the devs to overpower your class/race first so you can whomp over everybody else. And maybe cause design issues so serious that they won't be able to fix them and bring you down to earth for years. The communities can be pretty ridiculous. They're bad in RTS's too sometimes, but not to the same extent. MMORPG players often seem like they'd be happy to completely destroy everyone else's experience, even if it winds up screwing them over in the long run, too. The politics that can build up in these games is absurd.

Re: EverCrack
Hehe, I play on and off for 5 years and only got to like 62. Started hardcore then really slow down and became a casual player who only wanted to do tradeskills because of that damn Shawl quest. Never even got the shawl. I had everything ready to do the walk. Just couldnt find people at the times I played to do it.

Re: EverCrack
The shawl was a cruel beast. Some tradeskills were a gigantic pain. I remember back in the day when the ingredients were purposedly spread out over the world and the containers and components were unstackable so you'd have to spend the maximum possible time to advance a trade. (shudder)

Re: Anybody still playing WOW?
Check out some of the screenshots for Earth 2160.
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...;mode=previews Click on the picks to blow 'em up bigger. This is some beautiful looking stuff. I'm intrigued. Unfortunately, I doubtless don't have the system to run it. No idea what the gameplay is like, but damn, those machines look great.
