And the thing about those people who are working on it for free is that they are delusional when they tell the people on these forums that their work on HJ is progressing into a commercially released MMO video game. I have no problem with the fact that people are still working on the Hero's...

I used to be a contributor on this website; a friend of the guy who created it. The goal was to create the premier source for HJ information on the internet. I guess in that regard we partially succeeded... I came back here after I went looking for information about Nvidia's "PhysX"...

It's just frustrating, that's all.. When Frosty first told me he'd be developing a site dedicated to an upcoming Simutronics release, I was a bit skeptical at their capability to produce (i.e: they were always an 'over promise, under deliver' company based on my past experiences with them.)...

My apologies for making the "100% complete" rock solid statement. The point I was getting at was that the HeroEngine was 100% complete enough to package up and license out to other companies for use in building their own games. If Simutronics is selling the HeroEngine off, Its probably hugely...

One important thing to consider: The Hero Engine *is already 100% complete.* It's in its release phase and has been since before E3. I've seen the version of the Hero Engine that the Simu off-site developers use for building HJ, the "HeroBlade," with my own eyes. When I was shown the interface...

Hello to all the regular posters and forum lurkers alike: The following is not meant to be directly negative or offensive toward those who hold continue to hold the concept of Hero's Journey in high regard. That said, I have, since being approached by Frosty to creatively control the...

It's been months since I've looked at, but those poll results are interesting. I don't see anyone disagreeing with with the thought that paying more $$ per month for an advantage over others who aren't willing to pay is total bullshit; at the same time, Hero's Journey is such a promising game...

Once the game is actually available, there will be plenty to talk about/do..and more users onboard too. Nobody should feel like they're obligated to explain why they're not active..once we've got stuff going on, then we'll get on your case :P

I still enjoy 40 man raiding in WoW, but I can definately understand why people hate it. 40 man stuff is fun, but we've got a solid core of like 10 people..anytime we do a 10-man run it's the most fun I have in the game.

Hey guys, check out the new feature article on the frontpage of the site. Hopefully it will offer a new perspective for people visiting the site for the first time. While the HH staff has been at work creating new ideas and improving the site; contributions from forum members are...

:( Unfortunately, there is no news regarding when beta will happen. From what I've been led to understand, the 'on-site' developers are making good progress lately..this is really all we can ask for - news that progress is being made and that beta is still on the way. Hopefully soon..

Very cool test. I wasn't surprised with the results: Advancement: 92% Mechanics: 30% Competition: 100% Overall Achievement: 95% Chat: 19% Relate: 9% Teamwork: 23% Overall Socialization: 9% Discovery: 29% Role Playing: 2% Customization: 54% Escapism: 2% Overall Immersion: 5%

Yeah sorry man, total coincidence here regarding the post content, heh...I missed your original post. Good stuff that we're thinking the same thing, though.

Awesome, another old school Gemstone player! I used to tear up Icemule inside and out back in those days as "Shadowpuck" :) It's also cool to see that Simu has 'got the ball rolling' with the customer relations department - I have aspirations of joining that team as more positions become...

Good points on how too much availability allows for scripting and abuse; one thing Simutronics is really good at is tracking down people who appear to be abusing their games. With Gemstone it was rather easy to create scripts that would play the game for you, but if you left it running while you...
