That would be a pretty kick ass quest!

If Furor ends up as a quest designer, that'd be a good thing. He has alot of experience with MMOs, and knows how to push stuff to the limit. He knows what people want for content.
I know little of EQ, but isn't he almost an unabashed power-gamer? Thats really not the personality I would like making my quests.
I think Adell or Needra would be just as good choices as well as Stynkfyst, xblade Orchid cusint
I imagine anyone who ever played for a few years and made it to the top would have jsut as good ideas.

Yep, he is a powergamer. He isn't the only quest designer out there though, heh. For all we know, they have him designing the very high end quests, if they even have him designing anything at all.
I'm pretty darn sure that most of the "asshole" we see out of Furor is just a show. If Bliz hired him, and he does a good job, I don't give a flying fuck who he is. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 04-20-2004 at 09:40 AM.

I can say with good certainty that Blizzard would not allow him to act like he used to when he was operating the FoH website. Blizzard is a business, and they simply wouldn't allow one of their employees to mouth off to anyone publically and stay employed.
So whether or not he's an asshole doesn't really matter, as long as he designs good quests
They want to have quests which appeal to the powergamer too, right?
Basically, I don't mind too much. I'm sure if the quests are absolutely awful, they won't get through.

Yeah imagine if companies accidently hired people who were assholes in a game. God. Anarchy, I tell you. Anarchy.
ps the secret message is you shouldn't base your opinion of a company on a quest designer they hired (WHO KNOWS maybe he's qualified (That'd simply blow my mind))

I'm not telling anyone else how to base their opinion. It's more like I'm wondering who read Furor's childish ranting and thought "hey, let's hire HIM!"
From a PR perspective, qualified or not, it still looks bad to a lot of people.
Unless, of course, you just log onto Veeshan and ask stupid shit like, 'hi i hve a lvl 12 war and i was wondering what is bettr tarhnished short swrd or bronze'

Furor is one of the nicest people I've ever spoken to in EQ. His chest thumping and loudness on his webpage and his boards is usually just to get Sony's attention and rile up the other players. He's actually very polite when you speak to him.Unless, of course, you just log onto Veeshan and ask stupid shit like, 'hi i hve a lvl 12 war and i was wondering what is bettr tarhnished short swrd or bronze'
/agree
Nirrudn I'm sorry but you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Yes he is abrasive on his webpage but who really cares? Perhaps he is just venting for all the shit he dealt with in EQ.
Like Falaanla said, he is simply one of, if not THE most experienced MMORPG players out there. If you bothered to read past all the profanity you might see that his ability to analyze the game and provide solutions is superb... and remember that the outspoken are almost always the loudest... maybe he was trying to get some of his ideas heard...? (this is rhetorical)

nahh if he got hired it was with the express hope that he would convince the FoH people and any other clout he may have to change from EQ1-2 to WoW

According the the rumour mill (which this is all based off of...) he simply applied for a job and was choosen as the best among the lot. Perhaps you might realise that
A) FoH has all ready stated that they are mostly moving to WoW
B) Blizzard doesn't NEED a measly 100 or so accounts, and I HIGHLY doubt they would use a marketing technique like this
C) MAYBE, just MAYBE he has excellent insight and experience in the MMORPG field, and MAYBE that was the reason he might have been hired?
For all the credit everyone gives Blizzard (deservedly I think..) you really give them no credit...
I can soooo picture that as some crazy fanboy(s) writing that on the blizzard web site for weeks to come.
If Blizzard believes his experience and and effort will bring value to this game, then I have no problem with it at all. If you can make a game better by using peoples experience, than maybe thats the right way to go.
I dunno, thats how I feel it should go.

its more than this 100 you state as well he gets up and says HEY IM FURVOR and WoW is great much better than EQ, everyone who hears this and knows who he is in the EQ community starts to question wither EQ2 is worth the wait or if EQ is worth playing and gives WoW a second thought.
Its simular to having a celb on your team they arnt as good as the regular players but htey are a great DRAW.
rember when Micheal was playing for hte white sox? he wasnt any good (in comparision to other legue players) but they let him do it becuse people came to see him play.

You're aware that a statement like that is basically standard practice in app info for high-end raid guilds right?
Honestly, i think having a Furor quest would be awsome. I think Blizzard is trying to make the game fun for both casual and power gamers. This is something that i find to be very, very cool.

im pretty sure other peolpe have managed to say the same thing with more diplomatic terms.
if you ask me and no one will, I always though as Furvor as Somthor at the right place and time

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Furor has been telling everyone how great WoW is and how much EQ sucks for a long, long, time.

Just like how he was DAoC's #1 fanboy back around its release, said he was quitting EQ for it, made a big stink about it; and then EQ community left for Camelot in mass exodus.
Oh wait, no they didn't...
Mythic even hired two popular community figures, and they still ended up as mostly an "also ran". It's not a major PR move for Blizzard to have hired Furor, since, in the end, it doesn't really matter to anyone except Furor.

Ummm... since when does PLAYING MMOs make you a good writer? You need a creative mind. Furor is the kind of guy who stays up day and night grinding xp with 7021971597.7 guildmates and raiding for keys. If he writes quests its gonna be high-end and higher, anything else is too n00b for his tastes. This is kind of funny considering hes going to start out on WoW like every other n00b.. "Hi I r level 2 and I was wondering if I could have some shinies," or maybe something a little more like "IM FUROR YOU BITCH GIMME MONEY NOW," cuz of his massively swelled head. Anyway, To write you need a creative mind. I dont know, maybe he's got it, maybe he doesnt. All I know is that he is an ass on his boards, the vast majority of EQ players who know of him hate him, he has a massive ego and hes gonna push for powergaming, which isnt what everybody wants.
Check this out. It's very enlightening.
