Itzena posted:The whole "EQ had no spoilers" thing is just nostalgia clouding memories though - sure, Allakhazam wasn't up at launch but EQStratics and three or four other websites whose names I've forgotten (EQLore?) were, and so were a bunch of message boards happily spoiling the poo poo out of everything they could find. Even though those things existed they weren't really useful for people like me and my brother when we had 56k at the time. Once in a while I remember looking at like pictures with short descriptions on the front page of some sites and marveling at whatever higher level content recently completed but that was about it. For my own personal experience we were young and our computer time was limited and surfing through websites at the time was a chore and would eat up valuable time actually playing EQ. I personally didn't care about being the best or completely understanding every part of the game I enjoyed the adventure and interactions I had at the time and learned from other people. But those are things that relied on youthful enthusiasm and personal limitations placed by technology, two things you can't really recapture.

Googling though, Star Citizen gonna Star Citizen lmao Star Citizen dev in 2020 posted:“I imagine we will implement VR in stages, e.g. for a first step just being able to view ships in the hangar or using it in a cockpit,” Silvan adds. “But a full VR implementation similar to Half Life Alyx is a whole different story. I can’t and won’t make any promises but my personal goal is to have something similar to Alyx but with a visible full body and IK. I was never a fan of just seeing your hands in VR.”

Hispanic! At The Disco posted:It was pretty normal to have a stack of printed maps from EQAtlas. Also the case for the original Zelda on NES, not uncommon to have a stack of personal graphs. But for modern games that's pretty unheard of, you'd just google for it rather than making your own. Applies to MMOs and normal games too. :/

I still think about a possible starcraft mmo. Too late for that now because blizzard sucks, but it would've made for an interesting DAoC-like or planetside ripoff.

I really liked Tabula Rasa. EQ chat though, there was a big epic Shaman questline that I remember having to figure out via ingame clues and at one point i killed a mob that was supposed to drop something and it didn't so I just petitioned a GM in game. They show up and I explain and they just give the the item like "I don't know how this quests works but if this is what is supposed to drop here you go."

I was briefly a guide and we did a GM event where we terrorized noobs in Oasis, illusioned as alligators. I ran away from the players who almost killed me, zoned into north ro and my true form as a naked human was revealed

Basically, any fad that ops up in the world of Video games and Star Citizen will latch onto it, hoping to pump more money out of the whales.

My favorite Tabula Rasa story is how NCSoft waited for Richard Garriot to literally go into space, and then they fired him at that moment because it turned out he was stealing money from them.

How dare you speak that way about our Lord British! Also I totally forgot Tabula Rasa was even a thing even though I played it. NCSoft sure made a wide and weird array of mmos... who here played Auto Assault besides me? There's another game I totally forgot about until literally this moment. e: As I posted this I received an email from Amazon about New World being delayed until August 31, 2021 – no surprise there.

There's another game I totally forgot about until literally this moment. When you have Lineage money you can afford to have several offerings. I bought Auto Assault for $5 at Best Buy...several months after it shut down. I think there were a couple other truly dead MMOs/Online game for sale as well. At least AA had a soundtrack CD included and it was fairly decent?

More to the point there was a lawsuit (and then an unsuccessful appeal by NCSoft) and NCSoft was indeed found guilty of mishandling kicking Garriott out and had to give him $28 millions, with some of which he proceeded to take revenge upon the world by creating the company that'd eventually make Shroud of the Avatar.

The people behind the failed garbage fire Legends of Aria are making a new MMO! A viking themed survival game. Right on the back of the very successful early access viking survival game Valheim.

Looks like FFXIV is doing another free login campaign where you can play for 4 days for free starting today. Guess it’s time to hop back in since no other MMO is good.
