Is there something so wrong with having a more general MMO discussion thread? Where people share their ideas about MMOs, get some insight on the development process, and just throw in some random banter in between? Is there some other, more necessary thread that this is knocking off the front page?

And I've had a strange urge to play a Paladin recently, so I might see you on Malfurion (though I detest the idea of playing a Blood Elf :/).

So technically this place just needs like 4 threads? A WoW one, a Random one, maybe the latest 'OMGZ EQ LETS PLAY IT' incarnation and some batshit crazy Korean MMOs thread eh?

..We have more than that?

The real question: does this game have life-like boob jiggling physics?

I don't post much in these threads cause.. well.. I can go full retard just as fast as Ut did but here is the thing... we SHOULD want people like Curt posting here... if for no other reason than to get a REAL insider's take on how things are done and what they see...

Why do you guys give so much of a damn about why he wants to post instead of what he is posting? *shakes head* The people calling Curt out because of him posting here are as bad as the people sucking up to him because he's famous.. I mean really... why do you all care so much? Post in this thread or not... read it or not.. but damn at least contribute and stop fucking whining.

Now my contribution to the the discussion...

Since this is going to be a multi-product release will we be seeing the MMO or the other things first? Cause reading the lore of a game first always makes me more interested in an IP because I can go into the game and go: "WOOT! I remember reading about Dead Man's Canyon and the fight that big titty Sue and Sleazy McJohnson had there! AWESOME!" just like I did in LotRs. (yes I'm a nerd lol)

Edit

Oh and this:

Well thats a whole lot of nothing. You should have wrote....

We are making a new game. We can't tell you any information about it, but look forward to this game!!!!!!

I hate how the industry has been slowly moved to talking about games 3-4 years ahead of its release. Isnt it better advertising to try to push a game when the interest is at its peak? I am sure when diablo III finally does come out its purse is going to be a small % light because people interest peaked years back.

Gah, you'd think people would go to school and learn how to market a product...and then companies would pay them money to do it the most effective way!

Real question: Can I have a job?

Open a studio in Rhode Island, we need jobs here like whoa.

UnchainedAcolyte · 08-30-2009, 11:14 PM

I still think the thread is problematic. While I have no problem with Ngruk or anybody posting what they want to as long as it's MMO relevant, there's nothing to post regarding Copernicus for some time. Curt clearly said the thread was for his convenience, and he's even using it to form a WoW group (lulz). I appreciate him posting here, and would like him to continue, but I guarantee that if any "regular" MMOer created a thread like that in general MMO, it would get shawed on principle.

Let there be a dev area for threads like these.

That being said, put some serious crafting in Copernicus with SW:G type resources and experimental crafting. And a good meta-game like diplomacy or two.

DJk_zero · 08-30-2009, 11:27 PM

As long as he doesn't go all McQuaid on us and deliver a steaming pile of shit like VG, then I think most people could care less about a game that is still years off from beta, let alone release.

If you can't handle a seeing a thread then don't click on it, durrr.

This.

When I click New Posts, I tab out perhaps 5 or 6 threads from that list to read. The ones I don't click on don't inconvenience me in any way that matters.

Zehn - Vhex · 08-30-2009, 11:42 PM

Personally I look forward to Curt trying to find ways to bump this thread once we get bored of it without trying to make it look obvious. Maybe he'll ask for advice on how to gem out his warrior again like the last time the GMG thread dipped back to page four instead of using one of the other two warcraft threads. <3

If someone else made a thread and got it shawed like that it would be because they're someone else. I don't get why anyone gives a shit in a negative way when we can get actual devs posting here. I mean even if Brad comes and posts some batshit insane stuff, who gives a rat's ass? It's Brad fuckin-McQuaid, it's entertaining and it's certainly at least relevant and helps us understand how insane he is.

And I'd be interested depending on your definitions of 'weird times'. I'm on plenty with nothing to do.

The fact that he is posting here and taking stuff we say to heart is a good sign. He clearly plays MMOs and is interested in them as a player, not just as a person that wants to set up a gerbil cage and see how people react.

If nothing else, hopefully he will avoid the really big mistakes of vanguard, like thinking people want to be punished and thinking everyone plays on a topend system.
