Most of your posts are very logical and matter-of-fact...scientific perhaps? I sometimes feel like one of the rare holdouts for what World of Warcraft could be, even though Blizzard has more subscribers than ever. <br /><br />A part of me longs for the connection you seem to have with your Everquest characters. But I do not want to play a game that appears to be nearing its end. SOE acts like a dying dog in need of a mercy killing...but no one wants to pull the trigger.<br /><br />Hope you have as much fun as possible while you still can.houndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461545986646322317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-71659041240270875902011-04-04T13:33:07.883-04:002011-04-04T13:33:07.883-04:00I was depressed by the news because I was really l...I was depressed by the news because I was really looking forward to the Agency. It got delayed several times, I can't help but wonder if there was some central element that just wasn't "coming together." <br /><br />I also think you may be right about this being a death knell for MMOs on consoles. It will depend on whether Square-Enix chooses to bring their latest FF disaster to the PS3 as they planned (I'm not holding my breath), and whether Planetside next is intended for consoles as well as PC (not that I am aware of, but it seems like a logical fit). <br /><br />There is also a chance that Free Realms will do well enough on the PS3 to get SOE to give console MMOs a second look. Clone Wars hit's pretty much the exact same demographic, there's no reason they couldn't port it. However, I seriously doubt a large percentage of PS3 owners are tweens, so I don't really expect FR to do very well there.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-15769817023052582252011-04-01T20:18:01.994-04:002011-04-01T20:18:01.994-04:00@Stabs: Those sound like things that you do.

Wasn't planned I fell so in love with Rift I wanted more than just being another face in the crowd.<br /><br />- being very talkative in chat channels, partly because of the first point if I'm in there recruiting I'm likely to talk to people.<br /><br />- being very useful. I get a lot of requests to come and help people. It's usually healing but I can tank and dps too.<br /><br />- being a member of a friendly and competent server community.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-15324289857499792342011-04-01T12:16:25.983-04:002011-04-01T12:16:25.983-04:00Geez, now you're making me miss EQ2 and want t...Geez, now you're making me miss EQ2 and want to re-sub right now!<br /><br />But I'm not gonna. Still a lot I want to do in Rift 1st. <a href="http://nomadicgamer.com/2011/04/01/rift-the-warrior-nerf/" rel="nofollow">Finally found a warrior spec I like last night</a> so that will keep me busy for a bit. Still have 5 levels to go on my cleric, and I love my mage but have been neglecting her in favor of the cleric lately. . . .

I have less stories and less of an identity from every MMORPG I've ever played combined than from either one of those games.<br /><br />Ferrel has an identity and SOE is the truest to that. That is why I really wish I could enjoy EQ2 more than I do. I just haven't lately and that makes me sad.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy it though! I only wish that team the best. We'll be there in Telara if you want to come back!Ferrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533610055473304965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-63455191561173359282011-03-31T23:03:01.202-04:002011-03-31T23:03:01.202-04:00No, no, a minstrel is a stealther who can use the ...No, no, a minstrel is a stealther who can use the power of different instruments to run faster with a burst on the drums, or mesmerise foes with the flute.
