Arena.nets new game revealed

[Mithrandir]

It's good because it implies you won't have to fight with another group for spawn. Who likes sharing anyway  (that was ironic). I had sometimes wish that would happen in DaoC when you try to fight in Mithra's Tomb at peak hour.

I don't know. I've never played a MMOG where I've had trouble finding stuff to kill... Granted, I wasn't always getting xp at the "optimum level", but the fun in MMOGs should be in the journey, not necessarily in just all the high-level raids.

Then again, maybe I'm just wierd.

And Mithra? Come on now, how long were you in there for? 4 lvls max? :) Plus, that dungeon has all sorts of stuff to whack on. Though I suppose I can understand the Legionnaire room getting... umm... crowded... during prime.

I suppose I'm gonna have to grumble to myself and chaulk this one up in the "I-Don't-Like-It-But-Can't-Really-Explain-Why" column ;)

But the problem I see with it is that, when you are in a good group and there is too much people around, you usually explore and try to find another camp of monsters to kill. Anyway, that's what I did when I had nothing to hunt. Instanciating zones might limit exploration for some.

Exactly. I'm not sure if you're famailiar with Hib DAoC, but prety much 45+ everyone levels at the exact same spot: Fins in CF. People will just sit down by the camp, on lists for multiple hours, and just sit there waiting for a spot to open up.

These people become so accustomed to just one way and place of exping that it becomes their only way of exping. Some of the most fun I ever had in DAoC was a ragtag group of Fin-list wannabees jetting around CF smashing whatever was in the way. In fact, I imagine 99% of Hibbies don't even know about the forest scorpion, gorbochend, formorian (well, parthelonian now), granny, etc. camps just within that zone.

But... whatever. I suppose there can also be something said for letting people play the game however they want to.
