Because hype is meaningless, and a good game will survive on its own merits?

Agreed.

Hype almost always leads to major let downs. Once a game comes out, all it needs is a little advertising and word of mouth.

Because the bad MMOs hype everyone into believing that thier MMO will be the best ever, spending all thier money on hype/promotion and not on the game itself.

Yea some games need hype good games more often speak for themselves. Also I think as development continues there will be a bit more buz behind TCoS. With every diary and vid released more interest seems to be gathered.

It's not necessarily that good or bad games are over or under hyped. I really think the company just goes "oh. . our game sucks. start the over-hyping drive!" or if they have a good game, they just sit there and laugh at everyone else.

Hype = customer expectation & loyalty = word of mouth = viral marketing = free PR.

I would think there's something wrong if the devs think TCOS doesn't need any of that.
