So I have a table with 5 columns:
id, user_id, news_id, comment and date. Every time a user posts something on the news's comment area the data is inserted into this table.
Now I am trying to make a top poster function that will display the people with the mosts comments posted.
I would like to know how to order the result from this table based on how many times that user_id is present in the table.
For example:
1 - 134(user_id) -> 20 posts(that's how many times this user_id was found in the table.)
2 - 123 -> 19
3 - 168 -> 15
and so on.
Thanks in advance.

2013 Dakar Cliff Notes thread
View Single Post
love what you do
Joined: Aug 2005
Location: New Hampshah
Oddometer: 19,484
From Patricia, #150, Luis Belaustegui's wife! Thanks for the update! - Sandi
Life on the Dakar is a permanent challenge for Luis Belaustegui. The Argentinean biker started the Dakar for the third time with the smallest engine in the field: a KTM 150cc. Although his adventure came to a halt during the 13th stage last year, he has not yet seen the finishing ceremony. His road to Santiago has again been full of pitfalls this year. Already penalised by a top speed that is much lower than the speeds reached by the 450cc bikes, he is especially exposed to greater mechanical fragility on the more demanding stages of the rally. To reach Cordoba, at the end of this edition's longest stage, the University Professor from Missouri in the USA had to call upon all his resources: I'm exhausted, he sighed on finishing in last place on the special, 19 hours after having left the bivouac in Tucuman! Everything went well on the first part of the special, but after that, I jammed my engine. I spent between 5 and 6 hours repairing it. Seeing as I'm not a skilled mechanic, I took everything to bits and cleaned it, before putting it back together. And the bike worked. I was completely improvising, but in any case, my life is made up of improvisations. Relieved at having passed this test with success, Luis is not at all reassured for the rest of the rally: I've already changed the engine twice and I don't have a spare one. I don't know if it will go the distance. I'll have to talk with my mechanic to see if he can find me a solution, but I think he's going to hate me. Between Cordoba and La Rioja, the machine withstood the test and Luis was able to defend his last place in the general standings. However, the dunes of Fiambala will not be kind to his little machine
Nate in N.E.
Yes, I have a Dakar problem -- that there are 50 weeks of the year without Dakar!
They don't expect you to finish. That's why it's the Dakar. -- PPiA

I like team Srilanka not for any other reason other than that I'm an Srilanka myself and know the Srilanka players well.How about you?
England, old chap.
I prefer Verizon
India, solidarity with my programmers, now if they would explain the game to me.
England :) Pity we are gonna finish the series 1-1 tomorrow when South Africa wrap up the win.
Oh and you dont need MASSIVEEEEE Gloves to catch in Cricket ;)
Thats the strange thing with baseball that I sometimes dont get. Growing up watching & playing cricket I think nothing of catching a hard leather ball with bare hands. Since I have got into baseball (big time over the past 5 years) I dont really appreciate some of the catches that are on baseball tonight (webgems ?)
Yep some are great but some I feel would have been easier to catch than drop. I have never wore a glove so unsure how easy catching with them it actually is.
Here's another great catch on the boundary
Those catches were rediculous. I'm no expert, but the main difference in thos catches vs. "Web Gems" have to do with range and speed. Not trying to take away from cricket catches because they look to be as hard or harder than Baseball catches. The thing is that with a glove, baseball fans would expect the players to make those catches. Also, when you have a glove on, you can full out dive without worrying about your hand wrapping around the ball.
You can't really tell from those videos, but it would seem to me that baseball players hit the ball harder. Again, I have no idea and if someone has facts to prove/disprove that it wouldn't suprise me either way.
The diving catch in baseball is almost routine anymore and players seem to go to the ground way more often than is actually needed. That is what I enjoyed so much about those cricket catches. They didn't dive unless they absolutely had to. Thanks for sharing that video.
Which sports you like most?
I like cricket and football.
What about you?
I like Baseball, Football and Cricket so much. I also like Tennis and Basketball.
In Cricket, my favorite team is cricket team of Australia because it is No. 1 team in ODI cricket.
Well Radith I totally agree with you. Their playing style and team spirit are awesome. They managed to hold the world cup in 2006 under the captaincy of Arjuna Ranatunga. Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayewardana are my favorite cricketers from Sri Lankan cricket team.
Apart from Sri Lankan team my second choice goes to England. There my favorite player is Andrew Strauss.
I've mentioned before that there is a weekly pick-up cricket game at our local park on one of the baseball diamonds (that go empty from the end of June on). Looks like mostly Indians but I'm not very good at distinguishing nationalities.
On my walks, I've sometimes watched them play. Spirited play. There is one young lefty hurler that I think the Reds ought to look at.
There is also a pickup soccer game with the Hispanics that is awesome to watch.
American kids are in their basement playing video games.
Very cool video. How many hours would you have to watch to see a play like that?

Yes. Erections are a perfectly normal function of the male body, especially in guys who are going through puberty.
An erection is a hardening of the penis that occurs when sponge-like tissue inside the penis fills up with blood. Usually, an erection causes the penis to enlarge and stand away from the body.
Erections can go away on their own or after ejaculation, the release of semen through the urethra, the small hole at the tip of the penis.
Sometimes guys ejaculate at night while sleeping (these are called nocturnal emissions or wet dreams). Guys may have several erections and arousal periods while in the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep, the type of sleep in which most dreams occur.
Although many erections are caused by sexual arousal, such as watching a sexy television show or fantasizing, many erections seem to happen for no particular reason.
So if you've had an erection in an odd or embarrassing situation — like right in the middle of a really boring history lesson — there's no reason to worry that something is wrong with you. Your body is just acting naturally for a guy your age.
Because each guy is different, it's impossible to say what's a "normal" number of erections. Some guys experience many erections each day, whereas others may not experience any.
Hormones fluctuate with age, sexual maturity, level of activity, and even the amount of sleep a guy gets. Unless your erections are causing you discomfort or pain, don't worry about how many you get.
If you're concerned, talk to your doctor, who can answer your questions and probably put your mind at ease.
Because erections usually aren't controllable, there's not much you can do to avoid getting them. Unless the penis is stimulated enough to ejaculate, time is the only thing that will help them go away.
As your hormones settle down and you advance through puberty, the frequency of unexpected erections and wet dreams should decrease.

MAN OF STEEL - Grading & Discussion

Re: MAN OF STEEL - Grading & Discussion
I gave it a B-, and it's only that high because of how strong the first part of the movie was. I loved the actors, Cavill was better than what I was expecting, Crowe and Costner were great, pretty much acting wise everyone was great. The story was good, I love the different take and angle of the story. It's an A+, until we get to the action.
I love big dumb action in movies sometimes. Heck, for the last part of the Avengers I had a big stupid grin on my face as our heroes did battle. That is a long action sequence done right. However, it's been downhill from there for me. IM3, ST ID, big "epic" action sequences that left me wishing it would be over after 10 minutes. This is the problem with Man of Steel. I kept waiting for the big epic battle, the Avengers moment if you will. What I saw was one long punch fest, bouncing from one to the next. I was bored, and I was waiting for it to be over. Action for the sake of action doesn't do it for me in movies. If only they could have spent a bit more time on the ending and cut down on the pointless action sequence it might have been a more solid movie in my opinion. They only thing saving this movie from being a C- in my book is the great opening and the successful re-imagining of it.

Change RGB color output signal
I connected a new VGA cable on my monitor and obviously the RGB signal pins are different from the orignal cable I had before. For example: a totally blue background results in a red display background color now :-(
And I don't want to modifiy the cable if I haven't to do so... :-)
Would it be possible to change the RGB signal output in the XFree or NVIDIA drivers? Is it possible to map e.g. the red output signal to the blue signal?
best regards,
Alex T.
Why not fix the broken cable?
It is supposed to be connected the right way.

How does a person run for local office? Which procedures must be followed? Our topic this week comes from the League of Women Voters: Running for Local Office -- a workshop. Join host John Pearce and guests, including Ken Mohr.
(Original air-date: 02/12/2015)
Host John Pearce welcomes Rabbi Seth Phillips to the microphone. Rabbi Seth tells of his many experiences as a US Navy Chaplain, serving Marines in Okinawa, plus three trips to Iraq to support troops there. What is the future of religion? Rabbi Seth tackles this question and many others.
(Original air-date 9/25/2014)
In recognition of the United Nations' International Day of Peace (September 21), our guest is Monica Willard, a Lehigh Valley resident, who is the United Nations Representative for the United Religions Initiative. Host John Pearce explores how this annual Day of Peace began and evolved, and how it is being celebrated including the "Peace Wave around the world."
(Original air-date 9/11/2014)
Host Alan Jennings welcomes Easton Mayor Salvatore Panto, Jr. to Lehigh Valley Discourse.
Sal Panto's name is almost synonymous with "mayor" in the city of Easton between his stint in the 1980's and his current term. He is a booster of the city while being one of the most outspoken advocates for regionalism, even when the benefits for the city are not so apparent.
Host Alan Jennings speaks with longtime Bethlehem city council member Bob Donchez just three months into his term as mayor talking about his plans for his mayoral term and the city's health and vitality.
Alan Jennings will also be speaking with Tom Perez, Secretary of US Dept. of Labor, talking about long-term unemployment benefits.
U.S. Representative Charlie Dent has catapulted to the national political stage because he has tried to bring some moderation to his caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. The so-called Tea Party conservatives' strident rhetoric and extremist tactics such as forcing a government shut-down placed many Republican Members of Congress at risk of losing the off-year elections in 2014. Congressman Dent is Alan Jennings' guest on Lehigh Valley Discourse. (Original air-date February 13, 2014).
Originally published on Wed February 12, 2014 7:57 am
The special election was held after Democratic Mayor Bob Filner resigned. He was accused by multiple women of sexual harassment.
Host Alan Jennings speaks with PA Rep. Ryan Mackenzie and Mike Schlossberg about finishing their rookie years as legislators. These two talented, smart, hard-working twenty-somethings are rare among partisans these days: they get along, they work together, and they want to get something accomplished. The conversation includes such topics as a reflection on their first year in office, their assessment of Pennsylvania politics and their peers in the legislature, some prognostication on the session ahead, including the 2014 elections, and much more. (Original air-date January 9, 2014).
After turkey and football, it's time to talk politics! Hosts John Pearce and Ray Schwab welcome Dr. Jack Treadway, Professor Emeritus, Kutztown University to the program to talk about trends in local and state politics, and analyzes the climate of both. Join us Thanksgiving evening to learn more. (Original air date November 28, 2013.)
Hosted by Pamela Varkony, the program begins with Pennsylvania's Lt. Gov. Jim Crawley. He calls into the program to discuss the changes associated with the transportation bill. Here is a map of highways and bridges that will see improvements, as referenced in the program. Lt. Gov. Crawley discusses other issues facing our state.

Canonical Demos Physical Awareness Prototype in Ubuntu
Prototype uses webcam to sense user activity and trigger appropriate reactions.
Over at Canonical's design blog, Christian Giordano introduced an early prototype for a user-aware framework that tracks a user's movements and responds by triggering different actions.
The blog details a few examples such as having the computer initiate full-screen mode when a user leans back in their chair. Canonical also toyed with a parallax technique that shifted the desktop's reference point depending on where the user was positioned in relationship to it.
It's one thing to try and describe these processes and another to demonstrate them. Check out the video: http://vimeo.com/14959854
No word on when or even if this prototype will make it to a future version of Ubuntu, but with this, along with the uTouch framework Canonical released a few weeks ago, the company seems to be extremely interested in new ways to interact with a PC.

i.e., the few thousand tickets available could have theoretically been sold out in seconds. The Moscone Center West would not even have the capacity for 25K+ Google employees, let alone the 10's of thousands of developers/students who would like to attend. My only point here is that there's a lot of demand and very little supply, so there's going to be a lot of disappointed people. I don't think a better registration system, programming challenges, doubling capacity, a lottery, etc will do much to placate everyone who wants a ticket. Perhaps the only sensible way to reduce demand would to be double, triple, or quadruple the price.

George Strait and Garth Brooks: America's Favorite Country Musicians
An annual poll has confirmed what many people already knew: King George Strait and Garth Brooks are America's favorite country stars.
An annual poll has confirmed what many people already knew: King George Strait and Garth Brooks are America's favorite country stars.
Two of the most impressive names in all of country music have risen to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. King George Strait and Mr. Garth Brooks were called out by several of their peers, and they both made good on the dare.
George Strait may have hung up his touring hat, but his live show can live on forever in a soon-to-be released live album. On Sept. 16, Strait will unleash 'The Cowboy Rides Away: Live From AT&T Stadium,' a 20-track live album recorded at his very last concert.
George Strait's final concert in Dallas, Texas broke records and barriers as the cowboy said one last goodbye to his loyal fans.
Carrie Underwood is responsible for some of the top music videos of all time, but she lands only one on this list of the Top 10. Same for Brad Paisley and Taylor Swift, two others who consistently assemble very entertaining clips to back their biggest hits. So ... who's No. 1?
George Strait may have already made his last stop on the Cowboy Rides Away Tour, but the record breaking hasn't stopped. Strait's final concert in Arlington, Texas broke not just attendance records -- the singer has also topped an even bigger ticket sales record!
George Strait is known for timeless country music, and his always-present black cowboy hat. At his final Cowboy Rides Away Tour stop, the singer tossed his hat into the audience, and one lucky man caught it -- and he plans on keeping it.
Balloons and confetti rained on the fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday night as George Strait played his final song, and walked off the stage
forever for now. The Cowboy Rides Away ended with an all-star version of the track from 'Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind.'
The set list for George Strait's final concert in Arlington, Texas was big. The show shattered records and the singer proved his presence in country music will not easily be forgotten, or ever replaced.
George Strait's final show in Arlington, Texas was big, in fact it was the biggest ever. Strait's the Cowboy Rides Away Tour finale broke an indoor concert attendance record for North America.

Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Las Dalias
Steve says: 9 months
Liked the hotel very much
" Accommodation, food , drink and service were all very good . The bar could have had more staff serving at times . Main issue was shortage of sunbeds. Unless you were prepared to join the stampede at 9am you could not get a bed until 4pm . There should be enough to accommodate all guests. "Rating: 8,0

i will definately return
"the iberostar is a very friendly hotel with good food and a good location very clean my only advice to improve the standard of the hotel would be to close pool bar at 11pm because the noise is very loud echoing all round the hotel rooms,,,,maybe customers could move indoors and still enjoy themselves "Rating: 8,0

"Brilliant holiday & all the staff do a wonderful job, both day & night. Food excellent choice. The only issue I had was the floor machine wizzing passed my door @ 7.30am, although I did love room 108 as it was straight onto the pool.

Mao and senior author John Holmes, PhD, associate professor of Medical Informatics in Epidemiology, suggest that their findings reveal that mining social media discussions about health issues may provide novel insights about patient perceptions of drug side effects and their potential impact on adherence to recommended therapies.
"On the internet, patients come together from a broad swath of geographic areas, from many racial and socioeconomic backgrounds and from treatment in different types of clinical settings," Holmes says. "This range of perspectives would be difficult to capture in a typical clinical trial or survey, and may provide valuable data to guide health care providers seeking new ways to engage with patients and help them make decisions that will improve their health and provide them with a good quality of life."

Big Brother rebels Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's steamy sex 'caught on camera'
- From: Daily Mail
- January 15, 2013
CELEBRITY Big Brother rebels Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt reportedly enjoyed an x-rated sex session in front of the cameras.
Saturday night's incident, which according to The Daily Star newspaper took place in their basement boudoir, was allegedly so steamy that TV bosses have ruled the scenes inappropriate for broadcast.
The American stars, who found fame on the US reality show The Hills, couldn't keep their hands off each other as they spent another night apart from the rest of the housemates following their fiery return to the main house on Friday.
But the all-seeing cameras caught all the red-hot action take by breathless take.
Despite the excitement, bosses decided it was too saucy to air.
And it seems every detail of the married pair's passions were caught on tape as their public sex session played out.
Excitable Spencer, 29, whispered, 'I love you so much. Its getting hot in here'. Heidi, 26, then appeared to slip out of the bedroom, after which she returned with a wad of tissues.
Once the passion had subsided, the pair then allegedly collapsed into a heap and fell asleep.
The rowdy romp forms part of a string of accusations by the other housemates that they are in a sham relationship just for the show.
The pair, dubbed "Speidi" were surprised to learn last week that the others thought their marriage a joke.
Meanwhile, Neighbours star Ryan Moloney, 33, was doubtful as to whether the couple had even kissed after they refused to take part in a challenge where they had to lock lips.
In an explosive argument on Friday evening's live show, Spencer shouted: "You mocked our relationship."
"Would you rather have us making out in front of you'?
"We're not kissing because we're respectful of everyone who doesn't have a husband or girlfriend in this show."

Early April, 2007, in the town of Lala, Lanao del Norte, the Philippines.
Rice harvesting in the provence of Lanao del Norte, the Philippines, begins with soaking rice seeds in water for about two days. The seeds begin to sprout, and the seedllings are transplanted into the field by hand. The plants are allowed to grow, and after 105 days, according to my father-in-law, the rice is ready to harvest.
When the rice is ripe, it must be harvested. This is done by hand, using a scythe. The carabao, the national animal of the Philippines, is used to plow the fields. The rice stalks left over after harvesting will be used to feed them.
The harvested rice plants are carried manually from the field after cutting and brought to a machine that automatically separates the rice.
Portable machines to separate the rice from the stalks, such as the one above, are stationed at various places along the main road, making them accessible to neighboring farms during harvest time.
The local harvest is placed in bags, and goes to market.
A common scene is the setting out of some of the unmilled rice to dry for the next planting. In the background is a rice milling truck that makes the rounds to the rice farms.
Rice is milled on the spot at each farm, and then sealed in large bags. The rice grains are somewhat uneven after milling, unlike your store-bought rice, in which each grain seems almost exactly the same size.
My wife, Junalyn, takes my right hand, while my brother-in-law, Banie, takes my left, as we stroll down the road between rice farms in the town of Lala, Lanao del Norte, Philippines. In the background, from left to right, are Junalyn's cousins JR, Danny Boy, and Ainee.
We stop to play with a calf during our tour of the rice farms.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Susquehanna Smallmouth
By Robb Nicewonger
The River is certainly wide enough to fish 2,3, or even 4 across.
Chesapeke Bay. The best bass water lies between Sunbury and Middletown, PA especially near the infamous Three Mile Island, which is now "trophy smallmouth habitat". This is considered by many to be the best smallmouth fishery east of the Mississippi. The Susquehanna is full of rock ledges and big boulders, providing ideal habitat for the bass. Most fish are 8-12 inches with a good catch being 15 inches, but the river does hold plenty of bigger fish. Besides snallmouth, the river holds plenty of walleyes, muskies, rockbass, bluegill, catfish, and carp--all are able to be pursued on the fly. I grew up fishing the Susquehanna and its tributaries the Juniata and Little Juniata Rivers and wanted to share some of my favorite flies for these areas.
|More flies below.
This is my brother's brother-in-law, Slim, with one of the smaller bronzebacks from the River. What these little guys lack in size, the make up in sheer numbers and agressive hits.
Most guides recommend a 7 or 8 weight rod, but I have had few problems with a 5 or 6 weight. A floating line is fine for dries and poppers, but a sinking line is a must if you want to get the flies down to the big fish holding in the deeper lies.
The primary forage includes crayfish, hellgrammites, river shiners, juvenile bass, madtoms, sculpins, and chubs. One of the biggest annual events on the river is the white fly hatch, which occurs in mid July through August. This snowstorm-like hatch brings smallmouth, trout, carp, and even catfish to the surface in a feeding frenzy.
Many famous fly tyers have come up with excellent smallmouth patterns--all of which have a proven track record. Flies from tyers such as Bob Clouser, Dave Whitlock, Harry Murray, and Ed Shenk are all excellent choices. I just want to offer some of my favorites from these tyers and others that have been successful for me. I did not include any surface patterns on the list. Basically any type of popper or deer hair bug will work. The best colors are white, yellow, "natural" and black. Usually, sliders or bugs that don't make a loud pop are more effective. Muddlers, marabou muddlers, and the Morris Foam Divers will all be in my box for next year, as well as some cork sliders. In general, larger flies will result in a larger catch. I tie the majority of my flies in sizes from 2-6 inches
T he rest of the flies are listed below. Click on the small piucture or the name to see the full pattern description and materials list.

Gotta love the smallie fight like mad and eager to take a fly top water or deep. Love to see good articles on such a noble fish,try fishing a small variation of a whistler all olive works for me or white if bait fish are present. Keep up the good articles coming. Love to read them.

With all due respect Bill..It has become an exercise in futility to waste the time and effort to reseach, and post videos and articles from reputable sources, to make a point, so that somebody can walk down memory lane, and sling mud at you, when they havent got anything of substance to debunk your arguement
Some ppl here arent interested in the truth, never were..And to that end, they cant even tell the truth about the mud they are slinging at you
It becomes difficult for me as a new member to participate once the discussion is focused on what a poster posted on another board or even last month on this board.
It's a lot easier to allow each thread to stand on its own and, if necessary, post the same link as a reference as was posted in another discussion rather than simply referring to the other discussion and calling folks names.
The personal attacks are pointless and the drama is a poor replacement for personal interaction in real life.

You mean you're getting pm's about this bullshit?

She's too busy telling me how her sidekicks are 'schooling' me, when the facts don't support that hogwash.
So...what's worse?
The pages of bullshit discussion, with no facts to back anything up, or the mudslinging that takes place as a result?
Minty is great for post count here. I guess the question is, do you value the perception of a busy community, more than the perception of a quality discussion?

[Column] EverQuest Next: On Removing Pillars of the Everquest Community
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
There are reasons why these things are happening to most of all of the major game studios. Look around at what has been happening to the gaming industry. It is dying as we speak and why? 98% failure rate for the most part, I may be off a tad, but what does it matter really?
I am myself an EQ 1999 beta player and it looks like the innovation that EQ (before SOE) and World of Warcraft brought to the industry are not being replaced by new studios that are passionate about what they do and not driven entirely by publishers. Those days are over it looks unless somebody takes a chance for once in their life and starts their own business and goes back to running a real gaming studio! Yes I know there are some kickstarter games and new hopefuls that will probably disappoint when they finally release like most games. I am talking about Innovation here and it is innovation that made EQ and WoW what they were and we are missing that.
I wonder sometimes if this is connected to politics or the economy or the new generation of kids these days. Why is it that the 90's were so great but today sucks? Think long and hard about that.

What they do here will carry over to EQN as far as the world environment and how you interact with it.

I bet he is leaving because he doesn't like direction of Blizzard anymore. Who does? Isn't it interesting all this seemed to change after the Activision-Blizzard merger? They are just profiteers working for Wallstreet and Blizzard didn't see this shit coming. Lots of gamers have dropped their respect for them like never before and are in search of another leader of the industry!

[Column] Neverwinter: Is Neverwinter Really an MMO?
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
It is very simple! If the game has thousands of people playing together at the same time then it is a MMO! Period!!!! MMORPG is something different, and Neverwinter is just a bad version of previous RPG games and that is all. The problem we have today is that nobody is sticking to the traditional RPG masterpieces that have preceeded the terrible games of today!
Medieval Traditional MMORPG... Where did they go?
MMORPG Game Concepts « Developers Corner
We need to get back to the Ultima Online, EQ 1 Original and Dark Age of Camelot platform again! We have evolved into a genre of MMO that is not traditional to where it started. We have evolved into an arcade action oriented MMO that should be on a console! Why are we doing this? The MMO community doesn't want that! Even if they did, they wouldn't last 3 months in that game! What a idiotic strategy that is!
World of Warcraft is - without a doubt and regardless of any opinion about it - the most successful financially and by the ideas and technological innovation that came from it. We can take some ideas from that, but not all of it.
There are 2 types of MMORPGs that I loved from the past and that was Ultima Online with full pvp and a skill system and EQ 1 which really was a skill and leveling system but was mostly a PVE game.
This i my list of favorite ideas from these ancient legendary games.
Ultima Online:
1. Skill System
2. Housing with merchants
3. Medieval Setting
3. Open PVP system, but I would suggest a seperate server for the ones that don't want that.
4. Spell Books! (Spell names were original names)
1. Skill System
2. PVE - We could run through a dungeon and loot what ever dropped and sell it on the market. That is how we gained what we wanted. There were people that camped named NPCs for certain drops, but if we wanted something and we didn't want to camp the spot we would buy it. Although I do believe that you should earn what you get too so there should be staged trials for the end of every 10 levels and end-game gear that will take a good team working together to achieve like a WOW Heroic instance zone with a level requirement.
Mobs would also attack you in unlimited numbers!!!! This is important, because it adds to the difficulty and makes you think about what you are doing instead of running in like a moron without thinking. World of Warcraft even got me doing that which I learned later I had fallen into that dumbed down system.
Bring back the trains! It is part of the dungeon! If you are in their territory and they see you they should attack you! Period!
3. Leveling Progression - The leveling in this game took a long time and skills wouldn't not increase until you level. When you leveled it was slow so you could find other people at the same level as you because of the amount of time it took to level. The faster they level the more further apart people are in their levels and they can't find groups.
4. Race & Class system (I am kind of open to the Archtype classes, but I would start the game out with all the classes so you don't have room for more classes in future expansions)
5. Spell Books - I want to bring back the same form of Spell naming schemes that UO and EQ had)
6. PVE Character models were creative and had character at least starting with the orginal some later in other expansions were creative but a lot was bad too.
7. Pets - I loved the pets in this game, because they had good character models. I think we should use the EQ2 leveling system for those pets though, it wasn't fun to level up past the pets.
8. Open Dungeons - I know that frustrated some people, but the dungeons in EQ1 and EQ2 were deep and not short so not everybody was a lot of room for a lot of people and there are lots of dungeons with enough room for everybody.
9. AA Abilities - This I think needs to stay for end game. I would rather grind this out than gear grind or instance grind any day.
10. Currency - This is the biggest problem of any MMO and debate about this could go on, but I really think that a character bound currency is the only way around the gold farmers that sell their gold for real money. That really would ruin and not integrate with the rest of my favorite parts of these games though. It really makes me mad they ruin our games. I guess I would have to be open to bound currency with vendors that take that money especially for the top end gear. I think Blizzard got that right, but what it became was a gear grind. I'm sure all of the MMO titans like SOE and Blizzard struggle with this all the time so I would leave that part up to the experts.
Another way to deal with gold farmers is to make the RPG a single player. How much of the MMO could we bring into a Single Player game? It may be too much of a project for just a single player. It is important for people to realize that making an MMO is not easy at all and the monthly service for these game are paying for the infrastructure and the size of the game that is being made. It takes a long time and is difficult to be successful so please you have to give praise to any organization that makes a game of this scope or any game that puts the player and the game first.
1. LFG finder is constant you don't have to get out of a queue or anything you can just leave it going until you find somebody or they find you.
2. Crafting was really interesting in this game, it was like a class of its own and they leveled with the characters and could switch between their crafting and player progression levels.
3. Mentoring system which would allow higher level characters to group up with lower level characters and bring AA experience to the higher level characters. I think the damage should be severely penalized though because it is too helpful in EQ2 with high teir'd spells being scaled down. If it was as good as the top teir spell of the current level then that would be fine I guess. I can't remember if that was how it was in EQ2 or not, but it seemed like it was always too much damage and carried the whole group.
World of Warcraft:
1. Group and Raid Instances - I struggle to decide if this should stay sometimes.
2. Battlegrounds - Only on a PVP server or PVP game. I really would like to go back to a PVE only game to be honest. The PVP really ruins the PVE.
3. >>>NOT<<< the Quest Grinding system that it became. I do want quests because it gives you something to do, but I don't want it to be the only choice or best choice for progression or that is all everybody will do and it will be a big quest grinding fest like WoW is today.
4. Dueling - This just adds some fun to the game.
5. Group and Raid Loot Rolling system - I think the Loot Rolling system is required for any game going forward accept for the ones who like the full looting no rules kind of games.
6. Combat and the tactics were Superb! This is what converted me immediately and EQ was out the window as far as the combat. I have to say that the Ability and Spell ranks really sux though, I hate it. It is even worse now too because you can't even go to a merchant to buy new abilities anymore!
7. The Engine - WoW had a VERY good engine and it performed very well. I hated the collision system though, but it was still a very fluid system and you could always count on it to do what you expected out of it which was important for PVP.
All of these points that I have listed are what I liked about previous games may be different for others and I know that somebody will just look for anything they can find that is wrong, but I don't care. We may not be able to use all of these things together in one game, but the Ultima Online and EQ1&2 ideas are a lot of lost ideas that nobody is building off of anymore it seems except some low budget sandbox games. I am very supportive of sandbox games though I must stress that.
If anybody has anymore to add that I forgot let me know. I know this is quiet a bit of information, but I wanted to get as much as I could out there just to lend my support for the great successes of previous games.
My favorite upcoming games:
1. Shroud of the Avatar - Yes i'm a founder. If you haven't signed up yet for this, go sign up, this is the original Producer and Designer of Ultima Online!
2. Elite: Dangerous - I missed the founder stage unfortunately. This is the original creator of the 80's Sci-Fi game that was ground breaking called Elite!
3. Star Citizen - I'm waiting to see if this large scope is achievable before I sign up, but I am sure I will before it launches. Chris Roberts worked for Origin that created the massively popular game Wing Commander and Wing Commander: Privateer (his brother was the producer of that as well).
4. Everquest Next & Landmark - I don't know how this is going to turn out really, I don't think anybody does except testers. We will just have to wait and see.
5. Project Titan - This may be an epic game, but I hope it isn't a dumbed down arcade game for dummies. On the bright side this usually means they are building an engine which could be very promising because they are putting a lot of effort into it.

What i'm getting from what I have seen so far is that Everquest Next is going to be ditching a lot of their old loyal fans on this new release in favor of the new crowd. So for the people that played EQ1 and EQ2 that are looking for the next Everquest, they might be in for a surprise when they see that it isn't going to be hardcore like it was in EQ1.
I wonder about the depth of the game and the interface that has yet to be revealed because that is very important! I would love to see the depth of EQ1 in the next game and I have a feeling it isn't going to be. This game is going to be for a console/PC crowd. That is real important to see here, because you know want to grab as much of that market as they can too.
This is all why I am a devoted Paradox Interactive fan! Europe Universalis IV and Rome 2: Total War will do fine for me. You won't see Strategy games go the way of the console (at least the good ones) you know that! :) I think what we are seeing is a transformation of Games to the Console and it is going to try to take the MMO players with it! This is what is really going on behind all of the sales!

They took that to a new level so now we have to see if EQ can take that to the next level or just build on that and bring us EQ Next with all of the great innovative ideas Blizzard has brought and leave out the recent bad ones!
Oh wait I forgot, if a game was to use some of the great innovative ideas of Blizzard then it would be a WoW-Clone!!!!! So I guess we should just through out all of the great ideas Blizzard had or kill off the MMO industry because nobody can use those ideas right?

1. Don't forget that it was the characters in the game that made the game fun. If your characters are stupid looking like the new asian and pokemon like characters coming out!!!! you have to be kidding me! It was the characters that made it great, but it looks like Blizzard is going down that suicidal slope now too so it is really just over for them. I guess trying to appeal to asians now so I guess I won't be buying games from them anymore.
2. Titan 2016? LOL are you kidding me? They have been working on that since 2008! That is 8 years of development! I seriously don't think anybody is going to care about it for quiet some time and may grow old in their boots before it is released including me! I hope it is going to be amazing for that amount of time! They do their own engines in-house though and that is a HUGE plus though.
3. PVP performed very well and was very precise in its mechanics when fighting somebody that made it very enjoyable because it wasn't a piece of crap when interacting with other players on the map.
4. It takes a certain kind of team of game designers and developers with certain personalities and that appeal to the culture (better be American culture or i'm out) of the current time that it is being made to make what Blizzard made in 2003, but i wonder where they are these days. Is Titan going to be that good? I wonder...
There is plenty of opportunity for somebody else to take the title back like EQN, but we will see if they can even pull that off. They did okay with Planetside 2 and they have some income now to provide EQN development, but still it remains to be seen how it is done. The engine is doing pretty good so I would say they have their own engine room smoothly for PVP already with Planetside 2.

I find it ridiculous that we can't even get a good screenshot or a video of EQN! What is so important about needing to cover everything up? I guess they are nowhere near release then or it is just going to be another flop, they just don't want you to know about it yet!
Should singleplayer games go the same approach as freemiums?

Yeah, we could just ruin the whole gaming industry... all for the need to turn everything inside the game into a casino. I think I am going to start buying Paradox games from now on I guess. RIP American Gaming industry!

General Discussion « Elder Scrolls Online
What is your idea of a "WoW Clone"? You know that WoW innovated new things so of course people will use those ideas in their new games. I know some of the ideas are not what I would want in a new game, but there was a lot of new innovative ideas they brought to the table like it or not! Just because they use this idea doesn't make it a "WoW Clone"!
If you people don't like anything that WoW did then I can understand, but that is rediculous! Even the Everquest elites played WoW and people that are actually in the technical field know that WoW was the greatest acheivement in MMO technically. I could care less about some jackoff that doesn't know shit about technology.

Governor Jerry Brown has signed into California law a measure that will require universities that receive more than $10 million in media revenue related to athletics to cover insurance deductibles and pay health care premiums for low-income athletics, and to give academic scholarships to students who lose their athletic scholarships after becoming injured while playing their sport, the Associated Press reported. The legislation also requires universities to pay future medical costs for on-the-field injuries. The four universities covered by the law are Stanford University, and the Universities of California at Berkeley, California at Los Angeles and Southern California. San Diego State University may eventually cross the $10 million threshold and become covered as well. Stanford objected to the bill, saying that it was unfair to only impose the requirements on some colleges and universities.
