Re: Our Generation
Another long term player -- I go back to the 1970's!!
I never played EQ1 but have had a great time playing Helbreath, AC2, Horizons, less fun playing EQ2 and WoW.
Odd is it not that the best games were financial disasters!! They failed or are failing due to bugs and mismanagement not design.
What was their strength?
They encouraged and enabled Guilds and none specialised groups. Simply put I could and did play with all the 150 members of my guild. regardless of level and class. We helped each other, guild crafters equiped guild members. High level players grouped with new players. We had time to go swimming, have parties, sit and watch the sun go down.... playing was fun.
In WoW and EQ2 you are graded by level and class. I was appalled at wasting a whole nights play LFG. My guild which had benn formed in AC2 moved en mass from Horizons, disintigrated and moved on to WoW.
I cling to Brads announcement that Telon is a game world which will be a place to live rather than a game zone.
