That's one archaic way of handling skys. Terrain looks good though.

I can see what you mean based on the texures and the lighting/reflection, but the architecture style just seems.. bland. It immediatly remidned me of Darkness Falls in Camelot.

you are way behind xarp on that, you better resort to drastic methods of catching up, that he hasn't tried yet.
good luck on coming up with something.

I don't think it's a race, as long as I have enough leverage to blackmail them into giving me beta it's all good.

in terms of character development and creation, the ORIGINAL asheron's call was a great game.
unfortunately character graphics were rather lame, and the terrain got rather repetitive.
additionally, hunting outdoors got a bit boring, and it was difficult to remain social in game.
while AC's monarchy system was cool, they needed a guild chat like channel to give people something to do. i really think that, more than anything, was the game's down fall.

I'm not trying to get into EQ2's beta.
Infact, the only beta I'll care about at all is Vanguard. It's all about loving your product. The dev's LOVE what they work on, and it shows.
They're excited about what they're building. That also shows. It's going to make for one hell of a game, and I say that whole heartedly with absolutly nothing to back it up.
But I believe it. That's why I want Vanguard beta. To be one of the first...

wow xarp, I have never seen someone so....i dont know.....stupid?
You are talking about the people who made and then ruined everquest, as if they have gone through some holy cleansing process that wiped everything bad they ever did away.
Open your eyes man, vanguard isn't about love, it's about them trying to one up sony, because they are convinced that sony are the ones who f****d up eq, when it was really their own actions that ruined it.
These people are so caught up in themselves that they are oblivious to the fact that they are the ones responsible for the majority of the things in eq that everyone hated.
Just look at how they talk, how they think. this feature will make the game great, this neat little nick nack will make the game awesome. Putting this in will be really nice. It's exactly like every dev post ever from eq, but with no limitations on the engine yet.
If anything, vanguard will be everquest overhauled and moved into a new tech era.....
Come to think of it, it'll be the perfect game for you.....and everyone else who plays eq because they like the actual game...excluding the people who still play to be with their online friends.
Vanguard will not come anywhere near to being the next big rpg...it'll be lucky to get as big as daoc.

Hah that's b******t.
It's not about loving your product, it's about being good at what you do.

They also managed to disregard the obvious fact that 80% of EQs success was being the first of its kind, the other 20% was the idea of keeping people addicted to the virtual c**k.
Coincidently neither of these things have anything to do with the skills of the developement team!

toss on the fact that your target customer base are people hooked to their current chars, but looking for something that can pull them away from it.
Those people aren't going out looking for anything other than a fun game to keep their interest.
.from what i've seen, vanguard is washed over eq....nobody wants to play that..
except for xarp

Vanguard will be worth checking out. Keep in mind its probably 12 months out from beta testing even, when you look at screenshots, etc.
People still play EQ because of the gameplay and social aspects, not because of the graphics. It's still the biggest success story in the market.
