I dont think that is truem if you´re talking about the biz as a whole. I have read many a piece from the higher ups in games development, and while they rarely reach out directly to the community,...

No you cant.
You cannot spend TP directly ingame, you have to go through the badly designed and functioning store first. That alone puts a lot of prospective buyers off. The main motivation behind...

Certainly not, but the case is a bit more difficult because we´re having an ongoing "business relationship" here.
A more proper example would be your favourite barber that you went to for 7 years...

Christopher Tolkien has no say about Turbines license.

History of World Mobs

In The Lord of the Rings Online and other MMOs, world mobs have been a pretty constant thing. Generally they serve as rare mobs or spoilers that you need to stay far away...

I dont know how you can say that considering the simple fact that people (the ones who are in for the gameplay, not solely for the journey) have played 85 levels (times number of characters)...

Actually, the (reverse) conspiracist is you, because you take the words said and apply a different meaning to them. At no point did Sapiences´ response touch on the subject of the license.

Also,...

And I think you give carte blanche to "coders" to not deliver the demanded result on time and in budget.

There will always be points of friction between production, development and financials. In...

Thats because its a "new" and exciting concept, the last good space combat and trade game appeared more than a decade ago, many of the people that grew up during the golden era of space combat are...

And yet you do admit to being an OCD-like rule jockey later. The nice wording you choose is not so relevant as your intention. One can have a sweet and inoocent demeanor and still boss people around...

An Angmar upgrade wouldnt and cant include a general mob level upgrade, DJ.

The thing about Angmar is, its the perfect candidate for a revamp because it has incredible potential AND weaknesses to...

"Gewisse Ähnlichkeit" ist gut. Marschall Schukow war quasi DER "Moderator" Deutschlands für die Sowjets. Er war Hauptbefehlshaber der Schlacht um Berlin, war Hauptzeichner der Urkunde zur...

And I think you may have not realized that the Author doesnt question the design decision for HD itself at all. He questions Turbines tendency to introduce new things and then abandoning them for the...

Its an instance finder. Big difference to a proper group finder anyway. LotrO has had a group finding panel for a long time, but that needs a doctorate to use.

No surprise there. Some of the most unreasonable opponents (vs. those argueing with a reasoned opinion) against the Euro introduction in my country were the people that, depending on their age and...

The difference between Blizzard (and many other established developers) and Turbine is that Blizz knows what their major feature set is going to be like, one month short of launch. Sorry Khafar, but,...

The question is about big battle instances. JWBarry counts three of the five instances twice (5+3=8), because they offer additional 3/6/12 man gameplay in addition to the solo mode.


Yet that is...

I count five, not eight. Extra tasks dont make an extra instance, but I´m open to be convinced otherwise if, oh if HD delivers.

Whats worse, we continue the six-man dearth. Sad, cheap and totally...

While i dont claim to be in the know, there are enough existing examples to go against this argument.

In Volume II, you can play soloized versions of Nala-Dum and Lumul-Nar. For big Battles, they...

It is not part of the general definition of sci-fi that events and the science have to be accurate. Sci Fi and Fantasy are just opposite ends of the same setting, whose point is to create a...

The auction house prices on commonly available items are usually the prices they DONT sell at. Meaning, those are the leftovers that noone wants to buy.

If you have a certain threshold for...

The old community site and all the data it spew out suffered a controlled flight into terrain. The new forum got reduced to the bare minimum, and does not hold any kind of ingame information anymore....

There has been frequent and varied demand for changes with the whole trait-, skill and combat system.

Just a few:
Lack of character growth after lvls 50/65.
Lack of trait system growth after...

Wrong. There is a myriad of places between the "pure" F2P status and the lifer that has it all.
There are lots of people that regularly pay, but do NOT own all the QPs and expacs.

The change in...

Nicely singled out.

One would have thought Turbine might have learned by now that the best way to deliver bad news is being straightforward and honest about it. Not only when players ask, and...
