Well, now you are just getting into philosophical semantics :) (Is that redundant?). Semantics aside, it is very difficult to play a really good villain. Moreso than the hero. You will really have to wait and see what kind of support (such as internal faction PVP, or quest-ruining tactics...

Well, though it probably doesn't translate perfectly since we are talking about two different genres (those being text and graphic), Simutronics does allow its players to take the role of the "bad guy" from time to time. Since they keep focusing on Roleplaying in many of their Dev journals and...

I would play regardless of the crafting option. Crafting never really appealed to me, but it doesn't really hurt me either...so I don't really care if it is implemented or not.

RP server for me, but I would hope that there would be some PVP oulet on said RP server. Sometimes interactions become violent. :)

Roleplay: My primary motivation for any of my characters is to play my character as I created it and evolve it through the interactions with other characters. I hope HJ will focus on this aspect of their game, because MMORPG's have been missing the "RPG" part of the name since the beginning...

I really enjoyed playing with the folks in Gemstone, but after on and off for a near decade. I'm ready to try something different for a little while (almost everyone always goes back, and I probably will one day :) ) I've never played DR, myself, but I hear good things from lots of folks...

I've actually been contemplating trying Dragon Realms. It'll give me an excuse to go ahead a re-juvenate my play.net account in advance of HJ. Not too mention give me something to do between now and then.

Certainly a fine idea. Not being anything close to a designer, I'm not sure how easy such a thing would be to implement. Needless to say, something of a bounty hunting system might be fun...even if you have to bring a rogue (I don't mean class here) character that had been causing trouble in...

I'll join this game. Not terribly original on my part, but its something. Human "It wasn't me, it was the One-armed Man!" The Legend of Old Boltarm the Pirate Old Boltarm the Pirate. In an age past Old Boltarm, a gear-smith pirate, used to roam the sea-lanes preying upon anyone that he...

Not me. Death to Numbers! :) I don't need anything to "con" a "mob". Except maybe trial and error...or hear-say from other characters. And any new character I create, will still have to go through the same trial and error process with the 'mobs". No meta-gaming for me.

Well, one of the taglines I keep seeing is that this is a "different sort of game", " a change from the status quo". So, why not some different odd critters. Who knows, maybe they will replace the old standards in your mind, so that when you play another game you'll be saying, "Where the hell...

Alot of folks are probably waiting for more of the Elanthian Lore to come out before really setting up guilds, clans, or what have you. Not to mention waiting for some of the information on how guilds will function in the world of Hero's Journey. I haven't really come up with a character...

Well, I've seen it work in other games. And there were no "damaging socioeconomic ramifications". I always found it enjoyable to restock said "bench, barrel" etc with healing herbs, food, for all to use as needed. And there was always interaction regardless. It was actually something I...

From the Simutronics forums, etc when I still had an account with them.

Yeah, I'm very aware of the difference....but I'm sort of hoping with this release the line between the two will blur a little. :)
