Sony can lick my balls when it comes to games, however their TV's are still pretty spiffy. and their laptops arn't that bad either.

It was Originally Verant which was bought by Sony Pictures.

I don't have much faith in SoE anymore, especially after SWG. Ugh...

Would you consider it a great game.

Well, Sony did buy verant indeed, but the Verant crew doesn't exist anymore. Though a good chunk of their staff moved onto the creation of Vanguard (which looks fuckin amazing mind you).

I would :)

EQ and EQ2 are great games.
PlanetSide was quite successful.
SWG was successful..... but being a Star Wars game it would require a dev team fully aligned with the power of the force to actually make any good.
Infantry's quite fun :D
MxO.... I agree with Hamma, not quite sure what they were smoking with that one. Only thing I can think of was that they could get the license for a bargain price to make Matrix Online 2 or something....

So I'd say they do pretty well for themselves :)

And yes, Smedley was the President of Verant all those years ago. Probably still a few of the devs working on EQLive/EQ2, but yes I heard many of them went to make Vanguard.

Mistmoore (spelling?) evil. However you can be good if you like and we can still play together.

Would you consider it a great game.
In my opinion it is the best MMO on the market currently. So yes I would consider it a great game.

Vanguard looks interesting but I fear it will be a bit to hardcore for my tasts. I heard if you are a lumberjack the tree's actually have levels and if you try to chop a high level tree it kills you.

Anyone want to fill me in about Vanguard? Never really bother to follow the new titles as it usually means dissapointement.
Hamma

Dont really know much about it other than what I've heard from others. I do know its being developed by the former EQ devs and will be EQ on crack - aka hard core RPG action :brow:

PS: Hamma, you should add a superscript code so that posts like this will be more clever.

Ok, Lart, but I prefer to be a bastard and have a forum code for it so I can make stuff to the power of many things. :p

I consider EQ2 a great game. Im currently playing it. I love the variety of races, classes, and crafting systems you can choose. Only thing I dont understand is good and evil can play together :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
