What EverQuest Did Right That Other MMOs Ignored

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:53:34 EST

The world of MMOs has flourished since the days when we played EverQuest, in large part to the behemoth that is World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft became so huge since its launch, that even today MMOs use some of its elements in their game. But what happened to EverQuest? It seems like games have left EQ in the past instead of learning from what used to be the MMORPG.

Now that our time in Norrath (EverQuest) has ended, we find ourselves uneasy with the world around us. Come with us as we try to uncover the one lingering thought that has been all on our minds. Laugh, cry, sing, and rejoice, as we put our thinking caps on to uncover What EverQuest Did Right That Other MMO's Ignored.

Highlights:

EverQuest, what have we here?
We talk about what EverQuest did Right
We also talk about what EverQuest did Wrong
What did we find? Listen to find out!

Extra Curricular Activities

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 21:07:07 EST

Halloween is on the way and so is our holiday spirit. We have years of history of playing through Holiday Events together. Now that we don't all play the same game, we talk about how important we think these events play a part in our MMO lives. With our special guest BigEvil, we discuss how we each feel about a number of topics, including what we all think about PvP, and how we all view the many tradeskills that have enveloped our MMO games. Come with us on our journey as we laugh, cry, and fight our way through our MMORPG lives.

Highlights:

What do you think about Holiday Events guys?
PvP? You know you wanna
Tradeskilling our way to the problem
Gath finally doesn't have a sports event during the podcast
How many times do we really say PvE and PvP?

Combat Conflict

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:07:17 EST

Episode 2 - Combat Conflict jumps right back into the fight, literally. We talk about everything combat and how each of the games we play handles them. The brothers, Faeran and Drybones, learn a bit more about their play styles, while Gathilas, their cousin, escapes to a baseball game and completely misses the podcast recording. Luckily our friend Karen from Journeys With Jaye was able to stop by and help us continue our fight, while bringing her unique perspective to the table. The debate continues, as we head down a path I like to call, The Fight for our MMORPG Lives.

Highlights:

Group vs. Solo - How it is balanced in the games we play.
How much do people actually need you?
How does your game allow you to interact with mobs?
Drybones likes a good Tank and Spank (20:30).

Factional Family

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EST

In the first Episode of Saturday Night Factional Fight we introduce the cast and give you a quick overview of our MMORPG history. We then move on to pose the question of why we can't seem to play MMORPG's together, even though it seems we all have the same intentions. This begins our adventure down the long and winding road of discoveries, let downs, and hope. Welcome to the fight of our MMORPG Lives.

Highlights:

Why we play only one MMORPG at a time.
What we think about the Death Penalty.
How we feel about Fluff in our games.
What kind of Alternate Advance system floats our boat.
