And Velious better launch with a fuckin' BFG. Proof is in the post!

Project M caused mayhem
One example is Project M, for Monster, a major initiative that made it all the way to the test servers. In fall of 2001, you could log into those servers and choose to be either your normal character or a monster – some kind of hostile creature that already existed in EverQuest.

Holy shit I remember this!
Thanks for the link, good times.

“In 2000, in the Scars of Velious*expansion, somebody put in a reference to the BFG from the Quake franchise,” Jonathan Caraker*said.
Fuck these guys, they aren't gamers at all.

"Players have been asking for us to bring it back forever. We have said no for 15 years.”
This, this right here is why this company doesn't deserve another penny of anyone's money ever again. They give no shits about what their customers want.

Project M was also the best idea ever put to test, they could of made their own dedicated server to it, hell, it would be it's own sub-genre of game. It only failed because they couldn't see past their noses and try to force every little tweak they make on every server across the board.

The only reason I even play p99 is because Velious is coming one day, and I want my BFG muthafugga!

Dear Nilbog,

The game’s original resist system gave low-level NPCs a tiny chance of doing something to high-level players. Not only did they take that out, but they also ended up taking charm spells off almost all NPCs as a result.

The morons don't even know the BFG was in Doom.... *sigh*

The Muffin Man? The Muffin Man.
Do you know the Muffin Man, he hits with an A-O-E.

Yes, Quake 2 and 3 have the BFG 10000, so? Its was still a throwback to DOOM.

I remember logging in to project M and acting like I was an npc, moving in random straight lines while watching a player until they were comfortable and fighting something else, then bee lining straight for them as soon as they were engaged.

Good times indeed.

Quake 2 and 3 have the BFG10k, because DooM (1, 2, & Final) had the BFG9000.

Everyone knows that (except the EQ people that were interviewed), but I felt just needed to be restated.
