You're not wrong, but this response in this particular thread seems to miss the larger point.

Would you rather have to "make friends" ... that you can trust to give your account information to, and then coordinate clicking a square that pops up on the screen, non-stop, for a week straight ... or would you rather just play a damn game, and wait your turn for a chance at the item while playing?

Or not get that item.

Dude, Loramin. Just straight up tell the large group of players down there to stop doing that, and to make way for OP and yourself. I mean, afterall you are doing all this FQ so surely you deserve a stone for it.

Just suggest Instances or splitting the server into like 3-4, because even with TEAL put back in there will be complaints of a group there.. only its not a week long but 3 days.

yeah, i forgot its all my fault.

Carry on with your FQ

Yeah, when a bunch of people are talking about changing a system to make it better for all players on a server, it's totally normal to attack one of them personally, or to attack "straw men" instead of their actual points (eg. you're the only person talking about instances in this whole thread).

Another solid contribution Blake.

My perfect MMO is a sci fi MMO like AO, but it has like a lot of instanced content with cool gear and stuff, but also has open world non instanced dungeons and raid content with superbosses that are going to rarely be killed by players. I kind of like both of those things together.

I don't make games though I play em [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I want an AO sequel more than an EQ sequel tbh ;D It was sort of the inbetween world of theme park and sandbox, and quests were still item based like EQ and not the weird question mark crap I hate

I want to completely reskin all of EQ classic into a Sci Fi theme. Like a combination of EQ and SWG. That is my perfect game. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

AO has instanced zones. I wasn't suggest instances, I was saying the Barbarian should because he holds no cards worth anything.. what else is he going to do.

And hard pass on instance mmorpgs. The lengths people go to and the mess of a game they make because they can't handle not getting a pixel. Reminds me of the twerpy kid on social media talking about "If I play a game then I deserve to get anything in it and see all of the content. I paid for it"

So far removed from anything interesting. Get your ticket for the pleasure cruise, dab the sunscreen on your nose and kick back.

SWG pre-overhaul was actually a pretty great game ... once they finished it. It was just too bad that it got released so incomplete, and wasn't finished fast enough, so most people left it early.

TBH the only MMO I've enjoyed as much as EQ was Vanguard.

If they'd had another year of development before being forced to release VG would've been a damned near perfect MMO.

Yup! Same with Vanguard. These companies don't realise that spending the extra time+money to release a complete game would've netted them far greater profits in the long run!

But shareholders don't understanding gamers enough to realize that. So many MMOs failed for the exact same reason, though, that you'd think someone would've caught the pattern there.....

I beta tested AO. It was a pretty awesome start to Funcom's string of failures.

(I really would love to see at least a spiritual sequel to AO.)

The Star Wars MMO was gorgeous, with fantastic stories, but was a bit too on-rails. Hutball was fantastic. No endgame content available by the time everyone max-leveled though.

Neverwinter was a swing and miss, despite player-built content. That D&D ruleset they used was overly-simplistic and shallow.

Secret World was such a cool concept with urban legends and cyber-punkish themes. But...Funcom again.
