Thread: Holo you're a NOOB
He admitted the Dev team got it wrong, my respect for him went up after that.
Also he has had a hand in making my 2 favorite MMOGs, UO and SWG.
Yep, I don't like level based games. ![]()
saying he had a hand in making UO isnt realy a compliment is it??
from what i hear the only 2 succefull MMPORPG's are EQ and DAoC
Is this coming from a person that only played those? ![]()
I hated EQ. It made me physically ill. UO kept me going for years, and completely went to **edit** when Raph left.
Raph did lose a couple notches with me on this rifleman blunder. I cant believe they didnt even look at it before they unnerfed it and I still dont agree that it should have been altered at all. So a rifleman can totally whale on one thing... so? After that first shot its all over if whatever you are shooting at closes with you.

Umm UO was the first MMORPG that was a major hit if I remember correctly, sure it had problems but to this day it was one of the most fun games I've ever played.
If I remember correctlyUO was EAs biggest profit making PC game until The Sims came along.
I played UO on and off for 4 years, and as the other poster said,the changesgot worse after Holo left.
While I may agree that the development team as a whole has been on the bumbling side, you can't fault Raph for it. Christ, the guys posts more here than the damned community coordinator! Go look at devtracker. He has more than half the posts on there, and he was the creative LEAD! And now he just got a promotion and posts MORE.
Nice try, but credit goes where it's due, and Raph is due quite a bit of credit.
