Voyage Century

Looks like the asians figured out how the MMORPG.com rating works and wrote a macro

that would explain it... its just went up one more point when i chose to type this...

Listen,..I'm asian, and even I am like,.wtf,..where'd these stupid wal-mart, send in 5 proofs of purchase, cereal box top, free-ware, enslaved intern exploited(hoping for an EA buyout), cheap nickel & dime you cash shop games come from and get so high on the ratings board?!

  I visit MMORPG everyday as I always like to keep up on these things, but man,..I sure hope the above poster is wrong and there isn't an easy macro way to alter ratings.

ok,.rant over,..back to work : p

I am too still trying to figure out how it gets almost rated BETER then GW ....

Screw Guild Wars. It isn't even a real mmorpg! haha.

GO VOYAGE CENTURY! GO ASIANS! .. I have to say I am amazed with their passion. :) Good job, Asians.

I mean don't get me wrong it is a fun game and I played it for a while. It was just missing something for stickyness.

But when a company pays people to go to popular sites and do an all out forum/rating blitz it really turns folks off.

I remember Dark and Light did this and the backlash was tremendous.

It is as if people from outside North American  (and I am generalizing again sorry) thinks gamers from NA are too stupid to connect the dots of an army of day-old raters/forum posters padding ratings and making obvious "marketing" comments in forums.

huh? ratings? I dont even look at them that much, generally i try the games myself, to see if i like them or not.

for me Voyage centery is good, it has a decent system, the problem is lack of intuitive play. plus things seem alittle stiff, I mean the boat combat I think is one of the best out there. Long before PotC and pirates of the burning sea was even out. Its just the game overall has something missing, I think its the lack of believeablity.

I think thats the reason I'm not 100% sure tho.

I gave this game a good score also ... Do not know why you keep complaining.

ok i really like this game but GW is a lot better and i agree with lustrias about the rating almost getting as high as GW

and styx, GW is one of the top rated and most played mmorpg in the world and you say its not a real mmorp game??? DO YOU KNOW WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!?!?

They're just refering to how it isn't a real MMO. See, a lot of people don't consider "massive multiplayer" to be massive number of people playing a game at the same time, but to actually mean a massive number of people playing a game at the same time together. For instance, a massive number of people could play Halo3 (or whatever), but doing so in groups of 5 or 10 people means it isn't a MMO. Granted, the counter-arguement is that a "massive" number of people play GW at the same time together in the cities, but the haters don't think that standing around in a city counts as "playing", since there's virtually nothing to do there that's any fun.
