Post by: Luc777 on April 21, 2007, 01:53:23 am: well I've been on and off with planeshift for a while, tryed tons of other mmorpgs(for mac, and there isnt much)
I just tryed Everquest and its isnt very noob-friendly, I mean I looked everywhere and couldnt find one person to help me
all the NPCs were saying what do you want to be marked on your tombstone. :@#\ I played WoW for 2 weeks but then all my friends were talking about it all the time... stupid addicts so I quit that.. and just wanted to say, I'm back to Planeshift!

Why would you want to? Someone can have a valid complaint about NPC interactions without NPC interactions being all bad.

This is an example of communication flaw: you can't understand what the NPCs mean.

Planeshift doesn't have this problem, as most NPC dialogs I saw are quite understandable, the problem is actually the opposite: to make the NPCs understand you(specially when doing quests). I cannot assess as I don't do quests much, but from some reports it seems it has been partly fixed and is somewhat better than before. Still needs some improvement though, that perhaps only an overhaul would do.

Anyway, in most MMOGs, NPC conversations are always considered as secondary or even tertiary to PK, Grinding and overall "1337ness"
