If you had been able to see SWG in its full glory (yes I found the game to be glorious in the beginning) then I think you would appreciate the time they put into making it what I consider to be the greatest crafting system I have ever seen.<br /><br />Materials were not only of varying quality, but they were truly multidimensional (figuratively) parts of the crafting machine. There was not simply

Atlantica Online has an interesting crafting system. There are tons of crafting skills, and anyone can pick up any of them.<BR/><BR/>You level them up by crafting items, but levels aren't gained automatically, they have to be "trained" by a skill master or, and here's a good twist, by another player who is sufficiently ahead of you in crafting skill. They gain experience for training lower

Just to gauge a response anonymously, how would people feel about getting a bunch of old NA/RG members together and opening up a new forum/site... just wondering..<BR/><BR/>The problem with NA/RG is not with the moderators/users/most admins. It's because the highest level people no longer contribute to the site(e.g Redbot)

While unrealistic, the "wait 10 seconds for my uber-complicated crafting thingy to be made" process never really bothered me. <BR/><BR/>What does bother me is that 90% of everything I ever crafted was completely worthless to anyone and everyone, and was vendor'd a few seconds after I was done making it. It's a tough balancing act, though. Make crafted items too desirable, and people won't have

Hi Iso/Ixo. Been a longtime reader of NA and glad to see you on your own. Your site could use a little sprucing, but that's unimportant as long as the content is good (which it is so far!).<BR/><BR/>A thing about using items that don't belong to the class (mage not being able to wear plate, etc). I always thought it would be a good idea to let all classes wear whatever type of armor, but make it

As a longtime reader of NA.com, I've loved your replies to other posters, and then when you started posting regularly. I lost touch of the site for about a half year, and just came back to it two weeks ago, now I saw you left there. I'm just glad you left a forwarding address so to speak. <BR/><BR/>Bookmarked.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great writing, and please include more articles on Japan.<BR/><BR/

I've never really been a tradeskill person. It took ring enchants to force me to finally level enchanting up in WoW, I still don't have a tradeskill past rank 10 in Warhammer. So my opinion on trade skills is basically that they are worthless time sinks that shouldn't effect the game unless they themselves ARE the game. <BR/>I know why companies put them in their games. We all have our

i never did check out star wars past the very very beginning. In the first 5 minutes of play, as a Level Nothing Nobody, I was already being personally escorted by Han Solo and Chewbacca to the Millennium Falcon for a daring escape, and my eyes rolled so violently i had a seizure and collapsed on the keyboard.<BR/><BR/>SWG has always been mentioned as having a superior crafting system, and Tobold

Glad to see you're still writing Iso. Been a long time reader of NA, although I never posted.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, in regards to this topic, did you ever play Star Wars Galaxies? Your post made me think back to the crafting in that. It was one of the things that I think really stood out in the game before it went to shit. Everything felt so much more involved and worthwhile in it. I wasn't a
