EQNext in the gutter?

Angry joe is fine. I have a hard time believing his enthusiasm. I think Total Biscut is ok...but he kinda sucks at actually playing the games.

i'll second the motion that vanguard ended up pretty good. i started playing it around a year and a 1/2 or so before it shut down and had an incredible time. joined a great guild, got my epics and killed almost all of the raid content in the game. the lack of content at the end killed it for me but the time i spent going from a lvl 1 bard in rags to being in full raid gear was some of the best time i ever had in an mmo. the faction grind for the end game armor was fucking balls though but it felt awesome once you completed it.

Is there an article somewhere that talks about EQ:Next's recent development issues or is this just grapevine stuff.

well of course they are developing a brand, of course they have agendas. They are popular to the tweens and teens of this current era. But they do offer good criticism of games. Like I said its up to you to extract good information from anything now a days, there isnt any honest opinion out there.

never purchase non-Nintendo console exclusives

Bloodborne.

But yeah this is generally true.

I only half way agree with this. Yes VG was a great game built on a bad foundation. However, the last year/year and a half of VG was nearly as bad as the first. Tons of lag. Tons of bugs that resurfaced. Zero cares from the staff. The sweet spot for VG was at about year 3-4. That was a glorious MMO. The last year would have been a total waste of time if not for the players that stayed. VG had the best community in any MMO I have played yet. Period.
