hah. We had absolutely no plan back then ... but I guess you know how old those characters are hehe. That's why I left just before everyone packed up to chase the Montreal tax break. But if they have people like you on the team know, this baby should be in good hands. Let's hope they manage to release it some day.
Oh yeah! Had no idea you worked here man!
The outsourcing is a LOT better than it was 5 years ago.
You should come to Montreal!
The Girls are hot here.
:P
And yeah, it's not linear at all. HUGE open world. And yeah, the animations are being polished too.

That's the reason I'm not in Montreal I had a great time when I helped to train some of the guys in China. Really looking forward to the release (or a beta?)

I really like winding down and spending (some) of my free time immsersed in a beautiful virtual world and I feel its healthy for an artist to do such a thing to keep imagination and creative juices flowing, along with inspiration.
Right now I've been playing WoW a little bit, but the grind is just really not my deal, I liked games with more story based quests like Oblivion, Fallout, and Runescape (good times back in the day). I would have switched to Rift if the game wasn't horribly optimized, I can barely hold it up on low, but I can run crysis on high.
So does anyone play any right now that they'd like to suggest? Free or paid, preferably paid to avoid bad content or RW item shops.
Thanks
If you are looking for any mmo than there is one side scrollar beat em up that I play very often:
Yes, there is an item shop in EQ2 now. The free to play have different servers than the paying customers. and there isnt anything in the store that really gives ppl advantages. Its all cosmetics, and potions for xp and stuff. But no stats or anything. its really not a big deal. Its better than LOTROs shop. i think.
What makes it different than wow? graphics, classes (there are 24 classes), tradeskill system is better. housing system is amazing. thgouh, when i played wow, there wasnt a housing system. so i cant compare that. but the one in this game is amazing.
and with 300 "talent" points, there really isnt a cookie cutter spec. whcih is my main love.
Mentoring is fun. OP, but fun. It works as intended, but if a level 90 mentors down to a lvl 9, all his skills drop, but are still OP. but he then gets xp from killing lvl 9 mobs again. and the mentoree gets a bonus 10%
Looking for a free-to-play MMO, as I've never played an MMO before; downloaded Allod, thought the little gremlin dudes looked good, but the controls and camera are a disaster, and the three characters (and pet) bunch up too close together and the animation isn't even staggered, and as someone who has never played an MMO, I find the gameplay a little overwhelming I'll keep searching.
Been addicted to swtor beta. I had so many doubts, yet Bioware absolutely nailed it with this one. It can truly be the "kotor 3" single player experience people cry for, if you want it to be. Yet it also has the ability to be the ideal mmo experience. Fucking fantastic.
I was playin some of the swtor beta this weekend, seemed pretty good, the conversation cinematics do add a lot more than your standard MMO text window for getting quests. the gameplay is pretty much your standard MMO, kill this many enemies, go here and destroy this item etc, but still enjoyable if you like the MMO formula.
Ah I'm sure I tried to get that some time ago and it said it america only =/
I'd forgotten about this thread, I've been looking for something I could go on a little. I'm currently trying to get Allods but it seems most of their downloads are broken.
What I'm ideally looking for is something with lots of stats, making your own builds, low exp rates, and maybe not so much focus on quests. Quests are fine but I've played plenty of those, and it really does get tedious where every quest lasts 2mins and is just a massive wall of text telling me to talk to someone else down the road. I've also been looking for an mmo that is viewed from above, isometric of w/e. A lot of things I find that match these parameters have been shut down.
I would not get caught up in playing MMO's until after landing a job in the industry if that's the path you're looking to take. If game art is just a hobby you do for some fun, then have fun chasing the lootz!
To pull inspiration from MMO character design you don't need to spend all that time playing, most of that art is available outside of the game. Also most MMO player characters look like someone horked up a bowl of fruity pebbles all over a character thanks to the mish-mash of gear and weapons.
Yeah I get what you guys are saying, I should put more into art. I wasn't looking for inspiration or motivation from an MMO though, just something to go on for a bit after working or for a break.
Edit: Oops you guys were meaning the OP, nevermind.
This game got boring really fast you know? I was trying to make a Scythe Eve, but I kind of hate how I do the same thing over and over.
I did like the Dungeon fighters online tho. I still play it every now and than.
There are few other mmos that OP should check out. Such as;
APB Reloaded - all points bulletin reloaded
DFO - Dungeon Fighters Online
NFSW - Need For Speed World
LOL - League of Legends
WOW - World of warcraft
Champions online
DC Universe
Minecraft (Not mmo but it has been played massively with multiplayers online) =\
Vindictus is a good game, I think you should try it, but you will get bored of it really fast if you hate grinding and running the same instances over and over for levels.
When I get tired of studying whatever I am studying and doing in terms of 3d and or game programming learning. I step back and play one of these.
Even at level 30 Solomon could still mash my face in the pavement with ease
Bizzarro makes me look like cow shit
And that Egyptian god thing reigns undefeated with 2 or 3 people going at him
Then theres the back to back hundreds of pvp battles
And how hard it is to get your hands on tier ANYTHING armor
DCUO is awesome! wish i would have played it sooner

Its a little buggy to start the game from the website these days, so I use Control Panel to start it up:

But srsly, it's for kids but the combat is pretty unique if you're tired of face rolling 1-9 on your keyboard over and over again.
Odds are typical game crap theyll announce it and hype it up and make everyone wait for 3 more months just to get more launch sales.
