PvP guild wars get repetitive too, as anyone who has played DAOC longer than 6 months can tell you.

Summerbrake! welcome to the party!

Shadowbane sux because...  The up arrow key does not move you forward.

Shadowbane has many of the same problems  as EQ.  However, I like the interface.  You can peal the health bar right off the window and stick it to your screen, wow! that rocks!  It almost makes up for the fact that I don\'t have a move forward key!

If your listening, please take a look at the tutorial on shadowbanes interface there are a number of very nice features on it.  http://chronicle.ubi.com

EQ sux because...

You can not \"sit\" on those chairs.  

Oh, sure you might be able to find one that is far enough from a table to use the sit command.  But. your sitting with your legs folded on top of the chair!  How can a warrior wearing a full set of plate armor do that!

one reason why eq could never be as good as any other game:

GMs

I have a few words to describe GMs, but I don\'t think I should say them in the forum.  I will limit the words to symbols showing my anger:

@$(*@& @($*&@(*$&!!! Those @$@(*& @#$*ing @$(*&$!!!!!!!!

Im happy :)

Do you mean the presence of GMs in general, or purely \"EQ\'s GMs\"?

If all GMs bother you... why? Surely they can\'t all be bad. :)

Hummm, not sure what kind of problem Chrad had with the EQ GM\'s. He just said they made him mad, and did not explain.  I think he must have played on the Ralos Zek server.  Personally I have no complaints.  They have pulled me out of walls and floors very nicely.

ahh, I almost forgot...

EQ suxs because you have to pay to change servers!

If you are on one server and your freind is on another you have to pay 50 buck-a-zoids to transfer your character. Like they don\'t have enough money already!

I have, you never heard of Arx Fatalis? Has the same system, allthough there you can also choose between full-mouselook (no holding of buttons to look around) or the one you described.

I find that it works very good and would like to see such a system incorporated in PlaneShift aswell.


That would be lovely!  The system as it is now really sucks...

But, the game is FAR from finished.  :)

This is an EQ sucks forum... let me show you how it is done.

EQ suxs because your pets are dumber that a box of rocks.

I am hanging out in the bad section of Qenyos and we need one more for a good game of cards, so I conjure up a skelleton pet to fill the empty void.  The first thing he does is go and put his skeletal fist into the chest of my new friends chest and pull out his hart.  Now the other potential card player goes running out screaming for the guards! So I dispell the pet and pay the barkeep 500pp to back up my story that the skelleton just walked in off of the street.

The main thing I could not stand about EQ was that giant hole in the middle of NOWHERE. I was walking around one day, minding my own buisness when BOOM. I fall. My corpse stayed at the bottom of the hole while I respawned. I went to go and try and reclaim my crafted items when BOOM. I die again.

One more thing... the Sleeper. No matter how many people tried and kill that thing... it could not be done. I witnessed 2 huge guilds attacking the thing at once. They all died. Then, the thing zoned and started attacking nearby villeges and people (including me).

things i hated about eq included
1. their whole signature lose your body, lose your stuff attitude. This is an rpg! If your in a world where people look like lizards can you really assure me that this sword wouldnt stay with me when i die and go to the afterlife?

2. Paying.. why did i spend money on it? where did my time go? where did my money go? it ended up in the hands of non inspired money grubbing developers... Sadness...  ;(

as far as the sleeper goes maybe we should make a kind of spoof of it and make a cute little bunnie that rolls out 3000 points of damage or something? Hehe just a thought... :D

I propose:

Lets all agree that most RPGs, inclusive of but not exclusively EQ, suck for varied reasons and leave it at that.

Why waste good board space and time on such a sucky game. Personally I couldn\'t however care less seeing how you all are a bunch of morons. But this tendency of \" OOOH! \"game A\" sucks so lets discuss \"game A\" is getting onto my nerves.

Any consequent replies I suggest be given at the Cabal Guild or the Cabal war thread because otherwise we\'d soon have these fools here whining about spamming. IdiotsX(..............

Auran. No More.
