I just had a dream that HJ came out. I have no idea what prompted it because honestly I hadn't thought about it for I don't know how many months. So I decided to take a look at the forums for nostalgia's sake. Then I saw that you posted a comment yesterday, Jaraeth. It's amazing how after...

better than 3, not as good as 2

This game uses Hero Engine. I have very high expectations for this game, just from what I've seen so far (with the exception of maybe the graphics which I will at least still be happy with just from looking at the screenshots). The one thing I thought that could really kill HJ would be for a...

I have to admit when I first read these posts I was very sad. I don't think that Valendros is spouting lies about these layoffs, which means at best there are going to be major delays in the game's release. But on the other hand, I would go so far as to say that HJ is about as dead as it ever...

The idea is that these sorts of things will grant you general experience, therefore you don't have to do them if you don't want to, but if you get tired of hunting, you can go do something else and not have to feel like you are wasting your time, because you can be gaining experience while doing...

I was looking at the new Quillmore screenshots that were recently posted on the HJ official website, and I couldn't help but wonder if such a cool looking town would end up being completely empty, like many of the towns of Everquest (and of many games I haven't played, I'm sure). There are a...

Interesting science fact: keeping the refrigerator door open for too long actually increases the temperature of the room, thanks to our friend Mr. Entropy. B-)

I like the idea of stances in combat. In Dragonrealms, there are three basic stances, (evasion, parry, and shield) and you are allowed to allocate a total of 180% among the three stances. So you could for example set evasion at 100 and parry at 80, meaning that you'd be defending with 100% of...

The ideal PRC (ranger) class in my mind would be one whose DPS with the bow was on par with that of a rogue (somewhat higher than a tank, but less than a caster), and who is also somewhat capable of handling one's self in melee combat. I think that the best way to handle the melee combat...

I remember when I was a real low level playing Everquest, I would occasionally get lost in Greater Faydark, having wandered a little too far from the elf town Kelethin. If you stayed close to the town, the mobs were relatively low level, and there was no sound in the background, but if you...

Though I should add that in Dragonrealms, you hardly ever port anywhere, and almost all traveling is done on foot and can take quite a while, yet it seems to work. I think this has to do with what Pin said about the game not requiring you to go back and forth across the world. Though you may...

It seems like game developers were planning on having it be like this at some point, though when I read the descriptions of certain classes' special abilities, it seemed to me like some classes got really nice abilities while others pretty much got the shaft. IMHO, porting would be the best...

I agree that at higher levels, players should be able to gain access to places with greater ease. When you've been playing a game for months, the sense of exploration gets kind of old. However, I too remember the days in EQ when porting was a rare means of travel, and I must confess that I...

My opinion on the matter is that there should be portals only in major cities, and that you can only use them if you first make the hike and/or complete some small quest that allows you to use the portal of another city. I also think that the trek between cities should be a dangerous journey...

I like! :D
