Congrats Daax, that's nothing to scoff at. I hope you like Ft Gordon better than I did. The army folks there didn't really take kindly to us Air Force guys. Not the army really.. I should say, but the civilians who worked for them. Maybe they're rude to Army guys too, I dunno. What I do...

You're fighting your computer, or the server you're playing on, rather than the monster you're currently at melee with? More times than I can count, I've had to blame lag, be it server lag or graphical (local) lag, with my character's lack of prowess in combat. While I'm sure HJ won't be...

Progress Quest Anyway, with the expanse that Elanthia is (or at least what I have known it to be) I think that travel should be facilitated in places, through say a boat, gondola, barge, etc. If the scenery isn't drab, and where I'm trying to get to isn't impossible alone, I'm good with...

My coworkers got me good. I come in and check my e-mail to find that I've got orders to Iraq... right in the middle of leave I was taking for a 2nd honeymoon with my wife (the cabin is already completely paid for, so that'd be 900 bucks I never would get back). On top of that, it would have also...

I see your point, but with GM approval on character creation the few anomalies where dictionary words are still somehow RP can and will be addressed. I just think this is one of the few things EQ1 did right.

I guess I do agree with Dune Walker in the sense that there should be a HJ:TF server, as well as an RP server. I also think, that both servers should be RP. Still, without any GM intervention which comes with The Fallen, RP would have to be community enforced. The self-policing in DR was...

All of you are completely right, we need an MMORPG revolution to make things like they were, and I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. Too many folks are in the game trying to ruin it for it to be like it was.

A graphical MMORPG with no ruleset is doomed to fail without a good community. Pinnelipe and the rest of you are all right, and that's entirely why. With the state of graphical MMORPGs and the people that play them today (as referenced in another topic where the oldschool MMO-ers are losing...

I agree with Gate wholeheartedly. WoW isn't a great game, it's just the 90% of the games out there right now are pretty crappy, and WoW is the least crappy, at least according to the majority of MMORPG addicts out there. A lot of folks migrated to WoW not because they wanted to play it, but...

Ahh, good old DR vigilante justice. I've a couple stories myself, but I lack the patience to tell you all about them. That is one thing I liked a lot about Dragonrealms though, a ranger can start the game with nothing, pick up someone's trash longbow they carved, and pick up a longsword or...

I'm kinda hoping HJ will be hardcore, I hate mindless games. I like planning my character, and planning for situations, as well as having plans in case those fail. That being said, I hate raids. Boring. Oh god the tedium. Gear should be attainable, good gear, without raids. Without camping...

I never liked the idea of a levelcap, personally. That's why I played dragonrealms. It didn't even matter what level you were, just how skilled you were. Attributes were important, but trumped by how skilled you were in... whatever you were trying to do. If there is a level cap in...

Congratulations to you! I'm sure you're well on your way to doing great things for HJ and the followers of Simu.

I definately think I'd be a bit disappointed if HJ moved away from this whole concept, and piggybacking on what Dune Walker said, I can see this whole "return to town thing" will be less of an "annoyance" and more like... whew, ok I'm tired of grinding, time to reap my spoils back in town...

2 days from now you'll wonder why you did it, but 8 weeks from now you'll understand. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do well. I did it (air force wise anyway), and though I don't know you, I have faith you'll succeed. Bear with it, soldier!
