I'd kill for a decent MMO that takes its inspiration from Everquest or Ragnarok Online and kicks your sorry behind if you try to solo your way through it.

Pantheon is actually being developed by some of the original Everquest team; it is very similar to EQ in a lot of ways, with a strong emphasis on teamwork. ETA for publicly playable build is 'later this year', but they already have some videos up of in-house play sessions and it seems to be coming along nicely.

Looks interesting, thanks.
Going to watch this one, maybe getting a founders when they're a bit further along.

I'm currently playing lot of Neverwinter again, mostly because there is hardly anything else that is worth playing. It also has the most fun caster class since the Mesmer in Guild Wars, which helps to keep me interested. The amount of crowd control a good ice mage can dish out is insane, and I've alwayws loved a good CC based class.

IMO MMORPGs became kinda stale a decade or so, when most of them morphed either into glorified single player RPGs with a mediocre multiplayer tacked on top of them or into PvP playgrounds with nothing else to them. There just doesn't seem to be much middle ground any more, even worse is that pretty much every MMO I've played recently actually punishes you in one way or another for playing it like it is a multiplayer game outside of dedicated multiplayer zones (e.g. dungeons or special group quests).
I'd kill for a decent MMO that takes its inspiration from Everquest or Ragnarok Online and kicks your sorry behind if you try to solo your way through it. Tree of Savior was a good try and got the gameplay itself mostly right, but unfortunately the international branch of IMC is one of the most incompetent and greedy bunch of imbeciles I've ever seen in control of an MMO, and I've seen quite a few.

I'm currently waiting for few games, not much hope in the near future in my opinion.
Chronicles of Elyria is my personal favoite upcoming MMO, but its release is still a long way off. Its a bastard child of an aRPG with a very parkour~y movement style, Lands of Lords or Crusader Kings style politics system and some survival elements thrown in for good measure.

Star Citizen shouldn't need much introduction to anybody with an internet connection and a pulse. Spaceship MMO, a mix of EVE and old Freelancer.

And thats about it.

Playing Mercy, trying to fly to our Pharah to give her a damage boost. She ults and gets sniped immediately, half a heatbeat later I accidently end up getting nanoboosted.
So I did what every Mercy would do when nano'd in the middle of the enemy team, I started pewpewing. Ended up killing Reaper and Zenyatta with my gun and cherry tapping their Orisa with a punch, then finished with a tripple rez.
Was PotG to everyones lulz and surprise, tried to save the replay and ended up getting the bug when the replay only shows a wall and no sound (screw you Blizz).

Bought this a few hours ago and holy fapping circus the german voice acting is horrible. I've seriously watched goofy anime fandubs that sounded less horrible then this mess.

It also feels reeeeeeally "beta".
I've seen shadows jump all over the place, disappearing and reappearing at random. Geometry errors on models, for example Coras lips vanished behind her teeth once or twice during conversations, making her look like Skeletors ugly cousin. Speaking of ugly, why does every second human look like they had a bulldog in their ancestry?
Missing effects happened quite often. In the tutorial I've managed to set myself on fire several times just by walking over empty ground, so either there were missing fire effects or Sara Ryder is the most hardcore the-floor-is-lava player ever.
Guards on watch are sitting around in cover with their weapons drawn, though it is funny to see the guards in the command center covering behind consoles confusedly waving their guns around like they're expecting ninjas to burst out of the wall panels.

Was that whole thing cobbled together by Biowares drunk B-team?

Vice Kingdom also needs to be founded on a different continent then its parent kingdom/empire.
That condition is missung from the help page now, but it was there this morning.

Maybe it will always count as a "connected" vassal for its suzerain in the future, so island kingdoms will be able to become empires.

EDIT:
The "colony" condition is still there, it is hidden in the small summary box under the condition checkboxes now.
It used to be among the checkboxes.


EDIT2:
Well, you guys know what this means.
We need to subdue all the other island nations now, and place them under the ethernal guidance of the Imperial Peoples Democratic Peoples Republic of the Zaldoristan People.

Well-played, parody account.

It is the Democratic Poe's Republic of Korea, it makes no difference if it is a parody account or a real one. they sound the same anyways. 

(if you expand poes law to every extreme, not just religion.)

Dorfs are not used to diplomacy beyond "hit with hammer until it either agrees or forgets what everything was about".

Is there any other requirement to gain new settlers besides capacity?
I've been "green" for 5 days and have not gotten any new settlers. By now the game is owing me 6 or 7 more units (Unit capacity is 336 higher then useage).
