After I finished there following a link at N3rfed I’m still reading the Fires of Heaven forum<\/a>. I like them because they are becoming the waterthread of the poor. It’s not like you find valuable and interesting commentary but it works nicely as a “catch all” message board. Plus they are able, sometimes, to summarize a concept with a single line of text. This is an example:<\/p>\n

Within its style and genre of graphics, EQ2 simply sucks. I don’t care what people think of WoW, EQ2’s graphics are simply like the product of a child working with expensive tools.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which is even better and more direct that the quote I saved from Haemish long ago:<\/p>\n

If your 3d artists are mediocre, as these guys are, if they cannot imbue the art with a sense of style, the models will be bland suckage. Numbers (i.e. math and high-level abstract technical shit) is not pretty.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Because there are possible and viable solutions to that problem that would give a nice push to the whole genre. Luckily I have also a concrete example this time: Eve-Online.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
