Forum explosion!

Well if last week was unusually slow, at least we have a ton of new posts by the devs on the official forums this week. I still cant help but feel that we're in the calm before the storm though and that big news is on the horizon. It was rumored on the official forums back during Fanguard that Beta 1 might hit around the first part of September...

In any case we have alot of new posts to talk about this morning. First off lets start with the PAX coverage that came in over the weekend. Cobalt Katze one of the PAX attendees had this to say about the game.

In general, I was pleased with the combat shown. Though still at a low level, it looks reactive and pleasing enough to keep someone interested. The sorcerer UI in particular looks quite interesting. In contrast to a warrior's linear stance selection, a sorcerer gets a magical elemental wheel of sorts that lets them manage their elemental stances. At level 4, only Water and Fire were filled in at the North and West positions respectively, but there were blank spots for the other 2 base elements at East and South, as well as the complex elements at NW, SE, etc. It's much more pleasing and arcane than a simple list or line of icons. I also got to see behind the scenes of a psionicist, perhaps still under revision in the UI department. Their class-specific window had a bar with various brightly-colored sections marked off to indicate what was taken up by maintained spells and whatnot. It could probably use a bit lighter of a palette and better blended with the rest of the UI as opposed to a bright solid color.
The full post can be found here. Great writeup CK.

Next Silky Venom has published an interview with Aaron Lewis, owner of the Guild Portal establishment. In the article Lady Sirse and Aaron discuss the battle against IGE and their new partnership with each other.

Finally Genda over at Vanguard Crafters has posted an article about the future of MMO gaming and why it may not be all that we are hoping it to be. Genda makes the observation that the market is maturing and changing and its unlikely the good ole days many of us remember so fondly from Ultima Online and Everquest will ever return. Enjoy the rest of the article.

Todays forum debrief is pretty huge as Brad went on a posting spree this weekend. Please be sure to click the read more link below to see the full debrief in all its massive glory.
