So I've been away simply because I can't be ****ed with mission grind.... But then I got me a new shiny computer and after looking at all the naff games in Game I thought I would go for a MMORPG but then when I come to look at the so called font of wisdom in these matters all I find are paid for ads and nothing "live" updated !!! (Jezz people - get off your ass, scan for the paid for comments and revolt......) I give you as examples.......
Star Wars Galaxies - At time of writing (4th April 2012) still showing as online and charging $14.99 when it was killed on the 31st December 2011
Star Trek Online - Showing as available via Retail and TBA when it has moved to download and Free to Play / Store..
Star Trek: Infinite Space sowing as Q3 2011 - Hello..............
Star Wars : The Old Republic as TBA..................
Lego Uninverse: - Shown as TBA cost - I hear NFD ?????????
Does anyone still edit this site or is it moved to being just a adware posting ????
Jeez guys - I know the format is dead but really.....................................................................................

Your poll doesn't give enough choices, sorry. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

Apologies that it doesn't give the none of the above vote ( I forgot to add that)
What other options would you like to see?
My concern was that I didn't dilute the voting streams... |

Originally posted by just1opinion I agree. It doesn't offer enough choices to be a valid poll worthy of "Focus Group" status, thus, we will not be able to fund your thread with more advertising dollars. |

Hey guys, Just popping in to tell you that you can refer all Game List information to Jim Moreno. He's culling through the list from A-Z and adding new games as we get them. Please be patient, as it's not exactly a super-quick undertaking when the list is 600+ titles now. Jimmoreno at MMORPG dot com Thanks! |

As previously stated - I am concerned over splitting the vote - I had hoped to be present a simple choice (But I accept the error of not giving a "None of the Above" option) I maybe a little out of touch after not really visting the site for so long but any advice on how to present polls in future would be gratfully recieved to make sure I am in line with current thinking |

now I wonder if the hype score is working as intended lol, also over 600 MMOs listed, probably you can get rid of 50% of those games no one play |

Originally posted by BillMurphy It is understandable but quite a lot of games have information that is not-valid for years. + some of them are really quite big titles (either past or still present) so yeah. Just when game actuall release or change it business model or reveal it's business model or reveal it's release date ,etc - when someone is writing news about it maybe he could just check game info as well and write a note to person responsibile?
Your internal organisation is your business and you surely know better and growing game's list not making this easier ,but really quality of those very basic information took a nose dive quite a long time ago. Many years ago when I was not registered I would refer to mmorpg's as a source often in my posts in other fourms or just when I was looking info myself. Not anymore - cause you're just soo out of date or sometimes even wrong :/ |

Originally posted by GeezerGamer I can assure you that the actions of forum moderators and/or our Community Manager has absolutely nothing to do with who is buying or not buying advertising with MMORPG.com. I exclusively handle all ad sales for this website and no one else on this team has a clue about who we sell ads to aside from when they see banners on the site. What this is more about is a while back we decided to try and improve our reputation of being the website where everyone came to trash on games. It just made our forums have this dark negative cloud hanging over them and it drove away fans of games that came here to interact with fellow players of a particular game - what we had instead what a bunch of angry players hijacking topics and filling up the forums with hate posts. This is just not a very welcoming enviornment for new users or people that actually like the game everyone is trashing on. In the nearly 10 years I have operated this website I have never ONCE had an advertiser or game company request that I have our site moderated in their favor. I have had a few shady game publishers (I won't mention names) hint that they would buy advertising if we gave a "favorable review" and I showed every one of them the door. We run this site in that way and we have very strict barriers in place to prevent the Editorial team from having any clue as to what is happening on the business side of the site. While all you have is my word, you might want to consider that we have had probably 100+ people that have come and gone from this team as Editors, Community Managers, writers, etc and never once has any of them said we ran anything other than an ethical operation. If we did not, I assure you that it would not be a secret kept for long. Happy Easter! - MMORPG.COM Staff - |

Originally posted by Breezeycouk It's privately owned, so 'Free Speech' really doesn't apply here. Also, if you look at any other page other than the GameList, you can see that the site is very current, with many up to the minute interviews and reviews. Stop by the home page and check out the featured items - there are some great recent articles about Gw2, TERA and World of Darkness. Also check out the videos, as they have some stuff from this weekend's PAX East already posted. Cheers!
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Originally posted by Breezeycouk Free speech applies only in a public place. When you are using this website you are in a private space. I encourage you to walk into your neighborhood McDonalds and start spouting off political views, hold up signs, etc and see how long until they escort you off their private property. While we are bound to uphold your civil rights (like allowing people of all ethnic backgrounds, etc) we do not have to grant you freedom of speech...no more that I have freedom of speech at your dining table. - MMORPG.COM Staff - |

Originally posted by Admin I always found this angle amusing. You have free speech but not in private property. So seeing as in countries like US where private corporations own almost everything then there is no real free speech is there? Free speech should be absolute, either you have it or you dont. Either you can tell your mind or you cant. |
