Why do so many people have issues with the Sorcerer/Wizard names, but for 34 years nobody took issue with the Jedi being called KNIGHTS?

Still can use it for defending against blaster fire.

Of course it's edited down, the video is already 11 minutes long. What kind of person is going to be lame enough to want to watch a 45 minute video of someone else playing a game? Who wants to watch them travel all the way from point A to B where nothing is going on?

@HokieKC I think it will actually be a good thing for them. They likely did the math and came to realize they didn't have many people buying that pass anymore. They also know they only really have EQ2 that has been semi successful for them (of their subscriptions games anyway) and their other games aren't really worth their subscription fees. So by making the pass that much cheaper, it should breathe some life into those other games. I know if I were a EQ2 player and saw that deal, I would pay the $5 extra for a chance to mess around in Planetside, Vanguard, or even DCUO.

That's pretty shocking, I always said their increase to $29.99 because they were adding Vanguard wasn't justified and that it should have been dropped right back down to $24.99 when they closed Matrix Online. But a drop to $19.99 is a phenomenal deal. If I actually liked any of their games, I would jump on that in a second.

In his interview with Gamasutra, Jack Emmert said the best example of what they're shooting for with Neverwinter, was Borderlands.

@Unshra

I wasn't the one that made the decision, the site did. They would have to start covering games like Borderlands and Diablo if they started covering co-op games like Neverwinter. This was from the article back from the games announcement:

"What you don't see here was Jack and I discussing that the game was not an MMO, and therefore not a good fit for our site. I said we'd cover it for today, but that would be the last of our big coverage of the title. He understood, and he also understood that we were interested because his company was founded on creating MMOs. It's a very interesting jump.. Usually this all happens the other way around, with an established developer jumping into MMOs.

Anyway, long story short: We covered the game for the announcement day as we had set up an interview with Cryptic in advance. This is the last you'll hear of the game.

Didn't Massively say a while back it wouldn't cover this game, since it's not going to be a MMO?

@bobfish Exactly, I don't get all of this "there's no gameplay videos for this game".

Hell there's one video out there (it's likely a beta leak) from 2 months ago that is, no exaggeration, 91 minutes long and pretty much watches the character go from level 5 through 10.

I'm sure it will do okay only on the PS3 for 30 whole days, before D514 is traded in so that PS3 gamer can get $15 knocked off their next shooter that will just come out 4-6 weeks later.
