The way I see it, the game is still in the works. It's slated for beta sometime at the end of this year, and a release middle of next. The word is out there, and there's a very good community forming. In a way, not over publicizing every oodle of information about HJ is a good thing. God...

I'm very happy with my HP NX9600 3.6ghz P4 - 2gb Memory 128mb ATI X600 Mobility GPU 2 Monitors are a must for world building ;)

I used to play a long time ago, when there were no auto/semi-auto paintball guns. everything was pump action and auto trigger. The accuracy wasnt too great (because most people were pumping while they fired), so you had to be really sneaky and get up pretty close. Ah, those were the days. A...

I wish that I could answer questions on the crafting system in Hero's Journey, because crafting is also very important to me. However, Crafting is still one of those things that is "coming soon to a public announcement". What I can say is information found in various interviews. First off...

I think something that is being missed about Quests/Instances, it's not all about the uber loots....it's about the storyline. Remember, Hero's Journey tailors the adventure on the character's storyline, so that if you make 2 different characters, you won't have the same exact experience...

I usually don't get involved in political discussions, because, well...usually they just break down into a heated name calling match. But, I'm going to throw out a few things to think about and chew on. Take what you will from them. Basically, if you look at the situation nowadays, the US and...

I'll be there...but only virtually. ;)

I'd like to take a sentence or two to clear up and set straight any misconceptions about what Instance means in HJ. From all the information that Simutronics has released in their Dev Chats, and Interviews, Instances are Quest areas created for a party to enter and perform a quest. There has...

Personally, I'd like Selected or Consensual PVP, where you have to make the decission to go PVP active (like flagging in WoW). But that's not an option in the poll.

You really need an "All of the Above" option added to your poll. ;)

I will make sure that you are suitably challenged >;) Just don't come whimpering to me when the mobs act all really smart and scary. ;) *Mob approaches player* Mob: "I think you dropped something." Player: "Dropped what?" *Mob beats player violently with a stick* *Mob hands player his...

Instead of having badges or medals....why not have a story? I mean, wouldnt it be better to sit down for 5 minutes to tell someone (or a group of people) how you snuck into the Cave of Doom, tricked a Ralnak by using a rock and shadows to scare it away, then stole the Diamond of...

By far the best graphics engine for a game: Project Offset

Oblivion is really quite nice. I've been playing the past couple days, and have a level 8 Kahjit Acrobat, with a house in Leywiin (no cheats used either ;p ) The game is really nice and definitely brings back all the good memories of Daggerfall...just alot prettier. Bethesda did an...

Hmm...what do I do for fun? Well, that's easy, develop for Hero's Journey....think up neat nasty tricks to kil.....errr, entertain the players, fend off attacks from Suwari-hating GM's (we sabotaged their Suwaripult Project last week! huzzah!). Also, I play a lil bit of World of Warcraft...
