Really ? I mean  what do you expect for free a top end mmo that you have to pay absolutely nothing for ? I don't think many people know what goes into running an mmo the servers alone cost a pretty penny to keep up and running not to mention programing and content updates to keep your current player base interested.

As a professional developer I agree with Drog 100%!

Well said!

I wonder when they'll start releasing monthly podcasts filled with blatant lies about features and content that will never be in the game.

They would need a man with no soul to do that, though.

What happend to Lord British?

 I guess he went all transgender on us.  Must be where the money is now or something.

I look forward to meeting mistresses Shamino and Iolo in game.

Signed up for beta, I think I will break with the tradition of many posters here and judge a game by actually......

Playing it..

I know, I know, I am going all radical and rebel here but I think it might work, hear me out.

See I could just jump on the Hate X mainstream publisher or Y revival or Z business model bandwagon (while of course reserving special love for who ever the darling flower child of the internet at the time is).  But instead, what I want to do is actually see if a product provides me with entertainment, if it does... I will provide its makers with cash, if it doesnt, I will look for some one else to give my money to.

What a novel idea.

Now back to the anti mainstream agenda.. ahh yes to the TESO forums to bash another game I have yet to see any gameplay footage of and have not yet played!!!!

Iirc, Richard Garriot owns the rights to that name, so they can't use it without forking over some dosh to him.

Recalls all of those mmorpg.com UO nostalgia articles in the recent past.

Eyes shift...growing look of cynical suspicion...naw, no way.

It is quite alright because I bet you that 99% of the people bashing this game when they have seen zero game footage of it or even a screenshot of it for that matter have already signed up for CB and are secretly going inside "I WANT TO TRY IT, I WANT TO TRY IT!"

what is the obsession with 'footage' about? quit fetishizing imagery and take a look at the mechanics. what folks are upset about is most certainly not the screenshot view. its the mechanics of both of the aforementioned games.

They would need Paul Barnett to do that, though.

^fixed.

The mechanics which have barely been discussed for one and have not been mentioned beyond a genre for the other.....?  This is what you are getting at yes?

Now I can play UO and run out of stamina. . and wait for a counter or pay. . and I can look at WoWish art where the guys forarm is a larger than his head!  So awesome. . Ultima IV is my favourite game ever (played on the C64) and I think this will put the final nail in Bioware's coffin (in my head).  

The first part was sarcastic.

I truly hope I am wrong about where this one is headed.

never buying a EA product again!

and this will probably just bring shame to the good ultima name...

*Sees word: Ultima*

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!

*sees word: Bioware*

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. 

Just give me UO F2P with old school 2D graphics damnit!

I'm not going to judge a game that hasn't even been released yet... besides Game of Thrones, which is going to be a crappy browser made by the crappiest browser game makers ever.

But i am!. EA is nothing but greed and crap. This game will be no different than any other game that they poop out to make a quick buck.

don't pay for it! don't sign up for beta! don't even waste your spit or piss on EA products, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT!.

It will of course have microtransactions and according to Barnett we're going to fork over cash to EA just because:

 

"The entire game can be completed for free, although it would take you a long time. You can play it and play it and play it and play it, and enjoy it and enjoy it and enjoy it and enjoy it, and ultimately what will happen is you'll love it so much you'll go, 'you know what? I'm going to give you guys some cash.'"

i think im gonna love it lol

<Face Palm>

It was bound to happen... Lets see if they screw it up as badly as they did Star Wars The Old Republic.
