They do have some ineteresting ideas here, however I think this will add to the time needed to balance the game. Anyways I just remembered this article I read a while back on MMORPG design that was fairly interesting.
I dont see anything in the preview that makes it seem like Everquest at all.
They talk about a lot of interesting ideas. Some they ought to be wary of exploits about. Some it will be insteresting to see if they can pull it off.
I think it was Griffon who said though that MMORPG''s have people in them. If they are planning 5000 people per server why do all the screenshots only have 2-3 people in them?
EQ2 has the same problem with empty screenshots but the movie calmed my fears as there were many scenes with 10+ people.

edit: The Giant Ice Golem thingie looks great! The nested series of floating islands is neat too!
Yup. The best thing abour Horizons is that they can add new content in real time, without brining the servers down. You could be running along a hill and all of a sudden, the hill grows or shrinks.
Think about what events they could do with floating Islands.
I used to follow this but after the whole bankruptcy thing and then emergency funding you wonder if the title lost content that would have normally made it or if the quality slipped some. I guess I need to watch the video sometime and see what all the fuss is about.
Bit of oxymoron there... as far as I can Galaxies is everything I hated in EQ and more... lots of pointless running, lots of pointless combat, Ooo blasting bunnies, skill level treadmill instead of level treadmill whoo. Lots down time, lots of having to go here, go there to get healed for this or that. All rather obnoxious IMO. Course I have not had the time or inclination to try and disprove any of my initial impressions after a couple days of trying to play.
Just for the record I''m still kind of excited about Horizons. Course they won''t let me to the beta so I can''t get enough information to go all jaded and cynical yet.
A couple things that worry me though, still no clipping in combat. Play and movement rates to glacially slow, that dragon is flapping and flapping and the land scape barely twitches forward

I applied a long time back when they where first taking beta accounts. There has been a trend lately (AC2, SB etc) to at some point simple dump all collected beta apps and then give beta accounts to all the Johnycomelately''s that show up and apply :p. I guess I should submit again.
I was just kidding... i had nothing to do at work, so I just posted anything that came to mind...

(Ref.: to the earlier post... about it being like EQ. You can disregard that comment for several reasons. One i have no base to make that statment, because as close i got to EQ was I bought it and it never worked for some dang reason. Two, like i said i was bored and I had to kill some time before i could pack to go home. Three, all of the above.)
I don''t think I should be allowed to respond.

I second the motion.
The thing about smart people is they seem like crazy people to dumb people -- Thing I saw on the Internet

It is nothing like Everquest.

The gaming press and forum trolls alike immediately assume if an MMORPG has swords and spells, it''s an Everquest knock-off.
I wish you guys would stop encouraging him.
