Ghostcrawler's studio is officially announced now: https://www.polygon.com/23940126/world-of-warcraft-league-of-legends-greg-street-ghostcrawler-new-mmo I'll bet $100 right now they never ship a game, but I'm excited to see what ideas they share.

Looks vaguely like what Crowfall was originally pitched as, with the shard worlds.

I thought he was primarily a systems designer. I think he was just the most vocal of all the devs so people with not a ton of understanding of how dev teams divide up work just assumed he was responsible for whatever was making them mad at the moment.

Ghostcrawler left Riot, and all of the aforementioned things, to attempt the impossible... Good luck. I hope to see the concept art in 4 years.

WotLK is when class balance in raids started to settle down and every class had at least one viable spec it could bring to the table. Arena balance ended up becoming "whoever blows their offensive cool downs in sync first wins" which turned out to not be particularly balanced at all.

Raiding in WOTLK and Rift for the first year after launch were the two best manifestations of the tab target mmo formula

I'm on board with that, too. MoP is fantastic. Dragonflight is the first expansion since that sort of felt to me like MoP, one of the main reasons I think it's a v good expansion.

If you really think WotLK was the best you could go play it right now on the classic servers. It, uh ... you might change your mind.

It's probably the nostalgia talking, but I am really appreciating playing FFXI 75 cap on a private server. But there's something wrong with me for sure.

WotLK started our nice but devolved into a clusterfuck of gear score gatekeeping and meta build hell. But am I talking about vanilla or classic?

WoW's golden era being Vanilla to WotLK has nothing to do with what the game itself actually was, it's because during that time the game was basically a massive cultural phenomenon. People who'd never played a videogame in their lives would pick up WoW.

WOTLK also marked a turning point where you could be pretty casual and still get gear and dip your toes into raiding, ToC was super easy to pug where everything else took alot more effort to get randos together. The various endgame content activities were also fun.

I've always said that the best parts of the classic era were the bad players. They were everywhere, and you never knew what kind of person you could run into. My favorite example back from 2005 was when our offtank in UBRS didn't have a necklace equipped, and when asked why, they said there was no quest that gave necklaces....

Every MMO is better when nobody knows what they're doing. It's why FFXI is still pretty fun: you simply cannot play that game and know what the gently caress you're doing.

For anyone who isn't hanging out in their discord who might be interested, Monsters and Memories will have another stress test next weekend and a longer play test in December.quote:This month we will be holding a Stress Test on __**Saturday, November 11th, 2023 at 1:00 PM EST**__. We want to test our server stability and work out any kinks ahead of our upcoming, longer playtest this December. We hope to see you there! The expected window of play for this Stress Test will be 2-3 hours. I had fun during the last one once they brought enough hardware online to be able to move out of the starting zone. It is an unapologetic EQ1 tribute in case that's not obvious.

People on the subreddit have been comparing it to EQOA a lot, and EQOA was my favorite MMO ever. Apparently the gameplay, world, and progression are closer to EQOA than EQ and the graphics feel like they were almost definitely inspired by EQOA. Which is awesome, ps2 Everquest was a bigtime niche but I’ve been telling random passers by and uninterested girlfriends that now is the time to bring it back for years
