    I rarely find reveals revealing much anyway (Except you, when you reveal, you reveal)

    Still, I played PS1 for quite a number of years and enjoyed it a lot. So I'm hoping SoE does as good as a job as they did on the first one. (My only gripe, are the mechs.. those ruined the first one -_-)

    It was interesting at the time, but after seeing that the classes are called the same from GA, not to mention some of the weapons seem to bare some resemblance as well, I'm already starting to lose interest. I already play GA, don't need to play another =P

  10. Free to play vs. paying to play

    Everquest 2 also does this with their Freeport server (F2P with Microtransactions or a monthly fee) actually, them going this route with only it 'one' server is actually what killed the Monthly Subscription only servers (but, that's what the idiots get for whining that F2Pers will destroy the community, if anything, the F2P community is more well behaved than the live community actually.)

    Regardless, for EQ2 you also have that same model. You can play the game for free, with natural restrictions of course, and if you want to you can pay extra money for more characters, more classes and races to play and also using better spells and such.

  12. X Rebirth

    in PC Gaming & Technology

    They are using a completely new game engine. The Graphics might be Similar to X3TC but that's about it.

    There will be a new dynamic campaign, and it's probably going to be designed to run on dual or multi-core processors. There will be less CPU usage due to the new trading module, and perhaps the addition of "trade lanes", removing all the independent NPC traders roaming around in space.

    Game is expected to be released before 2012.

    I hope they balance the ships a little more. Being able to kill everything in an M7 is crazy.

    Actually, according to the video which is ingame footage the graphics appear to be a step up from X3TC. However, it does appear, based on translated interviews, that the ability to pilot multiple ships seems to have been removed from the game. You pilot one ship and one ship only. I am HOPING this is just a mistranslation, but I worry it isn't.

    And as for MP? I would LOVE for MP to be in this game, so that myself and several friends of mine could have fun building an empire but the thing is, I believe based on how massive the universe is that it would require a dedicated server (which I would most certainly jump at the chance of running off one of the servers I own)

  17. Line Of Defense Announced!

    Now I wanna know if those windows can be blown out, because I can just envision me sitting in one of those skyscrapers, sniper rifle in hand, eating a donut while waiting for some unsuspecting insurgent to get into my cross hairs :D

    Ooooooohhhhh... I am giddy with excitement if that is possible :D

  19. Questions from the FAQ

    THanks for the response. Doesn't look like this will be our cup of tea.

    At least wait for some gameplay trailers to come out. Then make your decision about whether or not this game will be your "cup of tea" :)

    Some people make decisions entirely off an FAQ, I personally don't find it right but that's just my opinion. That said, those of us who have been with 3000AD for years, know that this game will be a blast regardless of what was stated in the FAQ. Main reason that even though there are things I don't like that Derek is doing with this game, I'll still play it regardless (or at least I'm HOPING to play it, finances being what they are right now, I honestly don't know what the situation will be when LoD is released)

  21. Window minimize on dual monitor

    in Battlecruiser / Universal Combat (Legacy)

    Posted

    In my experience, even if you have a game in windowed mode, it'll still minimize sometimes depending on what programs are being activated or what the computer is doing. This happened quite often with three games I used to play (The X-series by Egosoft. Silent Hunter, by Ubisoft. And STO, by Cryptic)

    That said, I honestly can't give you any solutions on fixing this problem as I don't have dual monitors :(

    I meant do you personally have a goal of when you want to get started with private testing or closed testing? Not exactly a release date that we can hang you by if you miss it, but more or less just can we expect to see some life within a year?

    Famous Quote: It'll be ready when it's ready, and right now, it ain't ready :D

    As for a date, eh, have patience ;)

  25. Naval Units: Does This Include Submarines Too?

    in Line Of Defense

    Posted

    There may be one or two sub types in the game, since they are standard vehicles able to move in water. Since one of the regions is comprised mostly of water, this would work great.

    I think I'll say this now before any other hard-core sub-sim players do, how much indepth are you going to go with the subs there Derek? I'm thinking along the lines of stuff like Silent Hunter and such (only, naturally, more futuristic)
