Small Changes can get us more Action, more Customization, a Trading-Card-Mechanic, or a few more interactive Objects in the World. But they can't fundamentally change the Concept of any big MMORPG ever released: An elaborate Way to pimp your Avatar and show off. I think that is Core to why...

I know, it's likely dead, and this Day isn't exactly one to celebrate either. But someone at Simutronics is probably lighting a Candle and shedding a single Tear. ...i've stopped visiting every single Day, but i do am still hoping.

No i didn't. At first i thought it was a Morrowind-for-Oblivion Mod. If i shouldn't be doing other Things, i'd try that for myself. Although the Knowledge of the Time i took to set up Oblivion with hundredfiftyish Mods makes for quite a Barrier... Perhaps i should give it a try when my next...

I have to admit that somehow i like to hear this. This Confirmation is better than to walk through the Dark. ...but anyway, i'll be here till the Tombstone is set.

Yes they are - but they don't have to. All you really need are Triggers and Controlloops to shape NPC-Behavior, and an IA like every Strategygame has, to do the global Planning. There doesn't have to be a Human behind every little Change in the World - you only need one to set it all up (and to...

I don't think there's a Problem with respawning Mobs. Everybody's used to it anyway. Sure i'd like it better if they came from destructible Lairs, inconspicously bred, migrated into the Gameworld, could be herded, ... Funny, i think Instances are the only Place where you definitely can't...

I, too, agree with that. It's very nice to see that i'm not the only one asking for Purpose in MMOs and a World that's actually in Character. There's so much to be gained in so many Ways, so much that would honestly be new in the Genre. I can't help but curse the Success of WoW. Curse you...

If there was any Communication at Stake, i'd be concerned about losing it because of you. As it is, i'll just stick to enjoying your Pestering.

I don't want to list the Games in any particular Order, because they're all very different, have some great Aspects, but are flawed in others. Plus, i never quite know how to figure out a Favourite - is it by total Time spent ? Total Fun had ? Most memorable Experience ? Greatest Wish to play...

Strange. I still visit both this Forum and the official Site every single Day, and half a Year ago that kind of News would have made me all jumpy. But now... now i'm just thinking "Oh well, we'll see."

Oh. Pity. On the Plusside, since the Picture is old, the Chances are higher that they've got Clothsimulation by now... or will by Release.

Sweet. The first "Screenshot" in almost half a Year. And more interesting than most, because of the technical Capabilities (and Weakness) it allows to assume. Thank you. ...Youtube says "The Video is not available in your Country", and i can't select USA as my Country. Yuck.

Wait, you probably can't talk about it anyway, but... ...you're actively working on the Game, and Communication with Simu boils down to one Mail a Month ?!

Re: Making People group without them realising it I conjecture that one would have to step away from traitional Means of Grouping. Do away with Invitations, static Groups, a fixed Groupsize, ... - just keep the Experience of beeing alongside Others who have the same Goal. So, imagine a...

The whole Point is that a "Group or Die" Type of Plan isn't going to help your Targetgroup. Players who enjoy Grouping will likely flock to "your" Game, because of the somehow enhanced Groupgameplay - but Soloers aren't even going to give it a try, because all they'll hear will be "Soloing...
