*HIC* What did you do while the servers were down? *HIC*Follow

I went out and got trashed... errr... ummmm.... I mean I studied with a small church group for an upcoming test, yeah, thats sounds about right. Anyways what did everyone else do while SOE's hampster fell alseep on the wheel? OMG this is bad, im gonna get so much crap for this one........ ugh, i think im gonna be sick......

Ugh, praying to the porcelain god, i feel like crap...

Im in the midst of trying WoW out and its been pretty good so far. Biggest one up so far it has on EQ2 is that it really feels like its a completed game that wasnt rushed to the shelves. If SoE keeps this **** up (or they have a server wipe for any reason) Im gone for good.

Hey Waste, do you really like WoW? I mean, there is so much that is new and good in EQ2, but they got so much so wrong imo - like boring fighting system (no tactical variety - all fights are the same). And now this crash....

Is combat interesting in WoW? Do pets taunt? Can you at least kite if yer a certain class? And is there any "innovation" or newness in encounters? Cuz there certainly isn't in EQ2.

You know, I heard rumors that if you could learn orc or gnoll you could tell which of your enemies was the "leader", and if you killed him the group would suffer. Would start fighting more stupidly. Other rumors like that. Having played some LDoNs in old eq - well, I got the idea that one new challenge might be to occasionally fight a group of mobs that used *player tactics and spells* back at ya - instead of the challenge being only to fight bigger and bigger mobs w/ more hps, nastier aoes, and more resists....

Or something really cool. I mean hey, I don't make the big $ as a game designer - they do. And they were supposed to think up at least something new and cool in the "adventure experience" department. Instead they took a step back and borrowed stuff from other games. Sad sad sad. Pretty graphics and npcs who talk in cartoon bubbles only get ya so far, Sony. You needed to do more than that.
