Wow. I managed to get all my crew finally :)

They're pretty rare though, so far I've gotten one per day ever day, and no more. But I think that's just how the probability works out.

Those are only lv80, not 85.

That's.. odd.. mac book pro should support openGL easily.

I'm really hoping it's RFD-esque as well :)

Yea I hate that too. Shouldn't even be an issue but blegh.

Software mode *is* useless.. Though a few very old laptops might have issues without it... upgrade :P

I think they'd have to be if they're under lvl5 :) Anyways, I dunno if gilded altar would work, but it really should!!!

That looks fun!!!

It depends on whether the gilded altar is considered p2p assuming that f2p get access to the house at all.. That would be a huge boost for F2P though... Albeit requires borrowing a P2P house..

It's only lvl5 anyways.. that's practically nothing... Nice to have new areas though, and yea I'm glad they are removing the trial thingy cause all it did was allow bots 2 weeks to get going and screw things up.

I'm excited for combat changes, because I really disliked the lack of dual wield abilities for mage/range, and also disliked that mage and range had so few abilities in general. I'm still wishing drygore wasn't so expensive, but oh well. Seems like a solid month considering that next week will also have the quest :) Run energy changes is nice, but not really necessary that much. I like that it will automatically go back to running though :)

Saw the pricing coming from a mile off. Much better to give it for just membership cost and then see how many people continue to play. Once they know this, they can easily decide to up price if it's not profitable.

I would love the ability to move around rooms, and more exact placement rather than hotspots.

Aren't there double story missions too? Or are those included in the Quinn and Hyu-Ji?

Not necessarily. There were a lot of one-off events which shaped the economy we have now that probably won't happen in 07. a) rares b) gp things like statues, climbing boots, other updates which added tons of gp into game c) Bonus weekends, which royally screwed up prices of items over a long period of time due to change in how demand works d) ge, changed merchanting forever. e) other new rare and highly expensive items which don't exist in 07 that are hard to obtain so the cost is exhorbitant. None of these things mean the economy won't have the same ISSUES as the current game (xp potential of items) but it won't be identical or even all that similar.

Am I seriously the only one who couldn't stop thinking "LORD OF THE RINGS!" during that sequence? The entire thing felt like a copypasta of the intro for lord of the rings opening, at least in terms of music, voice over and sound and style, and even a few of the lines felt that way. I am so mad quest was delayed but I like video :D

Lol, but this way it works for everyone.

They did add the statues but those are just glorified free xp. I wouldn't mind seeing more ways especially in quests that could use it. And just more things to do in general that get stuck with crafting like those shortcuts/hidey hole things (did those require construction I can't remember?) It could be pretty cool but it's used so few places. Maybe like a town which you can help reconstruct (they sort of had stuff like that but a lot of it never really stayed live content) And ofcourse the house needs to be updated so that it's not crap and useless. Practically all the cool things construction brought to the table have been replaced except a very very few. Gilded alter is the most prominent one still remaining. Obviously storage for pets/items is nice... And all the teleports were cool till they added new ways to use it. And it also would be cool as a meeting place but... it has its own issues. The interface to edit it is also crap can't fix mistakes or move items etc. It all feels very static. Would be cool to add rooms for like.. herblore could have a place to craft high lvl potions that you have to mix in your house and give just like the regular untrables but better.. Could have food that can't be cooked except in house, could have other bank-like skills be done in a hotspot in the house. And.. really they could add a bank chest. It wouldn't' break the game anymore I don't think.. as long as you couldn't use it to build stuff (aka, don't allow flatpacking, but I don't know ideal way to prevent this and can't use it in build mode.

Summoning doesn't really need a general overhaul (in that it should function roughly the same) but most invididual summons should be updated and the overall AI plus use in combat should be made a lot more streamlined and automatic. Now that we can use them anywhere, we shouldn't have to micromanage them to get any dps out of them. Also, the scrolls and other stuff need to be fixed.

They actually said it wasn't against the rules just that you risk someone not coming through on the deal. They have no checks in place so it's risky. Using a gold SITE is against the rules but player to player trading would not be.

Just an FYI, they still have Pest Control.

You all have no idea whether the 2007 servers delayed the quest or whether it simply wasn't ready yet. Granted they didn't release the video about it yet, and that is somewhat annoying but... really don't have to get so distressed about it..

Yoko, it's very possible that the quest simply wasn't ready yet. That stuff happens all the time in software development, especially in a setting where they have to give word of what's coming well before its ready.

A lot of things will be different though due to potentially fewer bots (not cost effective to pay more, no F2P) Ofcourse this may not stay that way. Also low supply for items will leave a lot of things up for grabs early. I do think sticking to one high efficiency goal is best, but it may not be obvious what is high efficiency due to changes in demand (lots of stuff is taken for granted but won't be in the game in surplus supply for a long time.
