"I think that the project will be successful and effectively eliminate the old servers."

Thousands of lv 50's deleted. Not going to fuckin happen. People are still going to play those for the newer content. I'll go back. but I've never left either.

Alot of people left when they started adding stuff like master levels and artifacts to the game. They lost the biggest chunk of players after Spellcrafting.

Now that they are going back to the old layout without all the uber shit players are coming back to one of the best games of all time.

It make sme sick though that Archery is not a "casting" type of class. By that I mean it doesn magic style of damg instead of melee. WHO THE FUCK CAN RESIST AN ARROW TO THE HEAD!.

No. Just because T1 and T2 are more expensive people think they are  better. That is simply not the case.

Cable is better for general use and gaming plus its a HELL of a lot cheaper. Cable has a higher capability for Download speed(maxing 6Mbits). But the upload speed is generally set at 512Mbits as the standard.  Averaging $35-$40

T1 and T2 are VASTLY more expensive. The download speeds are slower then what Cable can get T1 being 1.5Mbits. BUT their download speed and upload speed are equal. Putting the amount of information transfered out a better set up for multiple computers over a network sharing one connection. Averaging  $300-500

Try getting 6+ computers lanned to one connection an KEEP the high speed of cable. It just isn't going to happen unless your routed through a general hub to divert information and streamline the process so you don't bog down your line.

T3 is not even considerable. Yea its equal DL and UL speeds comparable to cable but it cost ~$1000-$3000. This option is best saved for corporate buildings or multi junction office buildings where multiple companies pitch in for a large internet access point.

a T2 is NOT very good. T's are for networking and uploading to a main hub. When it comes down to download and upload speeds on a single computer playing a game DL speeds of CABLE woop ass.

and it is a MORPG. Since everything is instant.

I think its funny. Vets get a free trial for the day AFTER the merge. giving us 1 day to play together. But its almost 7:00 PST and they are three hours later for launch. I hate SOE.

Well no Maxis takes the RPG to the next level which is simulation. That is a completely different tier of gameplay.  Role playing game is a VERY broad term. Originally choose your own adventure books where the only Role Playing Game. Its only evolved into several different genres.

ActionRPG aka Diablo, titans quest, dynasty warriors, and to an extent NWN1. Foregoing some of the more extreme forms of RPG for a run and gun style of combat. Multiple classes, multiple skill trees per class, stats, Level, XP.  Its an RPG.

TurnBased RPG: Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, FFIX.  This is the classic RPG style. We all grew up with NES, SNES, Genesis, and Playstation.

MMORPG "the king of all": There is a reason I say the king of all. MMORPGS are a very tight kind of game. If you don't have one feature its no longer a RPG its a plain old MMO.

Not only od you have to have the standard, Multiple classes, multiple skill trees per class, stats, Level, XP,

but you also HAVE to have PVP. Yea You have to have it else it can NOT by a true MMORPG. If your not able to kill other players and are limited to PVE your are playing an mmodungeon crawler. There is one exception and even they changed and added PVP after a bit.  DDO. Origonally PVE only they added several ways to kill your fellow player. To duel IS a key feature in MMO's Combat between realms if an even better one. Now I am not a PVPer. I can do it but It doesn't get my rocks off. But I will defend a REAL MMORPG has PVP or RVR in SOME form.

But finally what sets an RPG apart is it is LIMITED. The only thing keeping NWN1 from being a D&D simulation game is that it is limited in what you ca do.  If you don't limit the gameplay in any aspect your start to turn it into a simulation.

Its really not the game itself that makes an RPG. Its the mechanics that are used to excute the game correctally.

Hey I'm a vet back from Alpha. I played for a while and then they added BFR's. And now that they nuked them so that is you break armor they are done its fairbly balanced. Yea Vanu's weapons still suck. TR has all the good players. And Ncs.... well I guess they still have shotguns. But the new vehicles are fun. Wasps have paper armor but if you can get close and a lock planes are toast.
