Originally posted by Loktofeit He does have a point, however slight it may be. Think about it for a second. When you buy the box and plunk down a sub fee, you are likely to stick it out for no other reason than to "get your moneys' worth" ( unless the game is just total shit ). Whereas with a FTP game, if it sucks you just uninstall and leave, no investment, no "incentive" to "stick it out" a bit. So when it comes to making a "bad" game, a FTP is more likely to take a nosedive faster. And while the P2P game can stave off annihilation at least temporarily by dropping to F2P status, the F2P has nowhere to go but bye-bye. EA CEO John Riccitiello's on future microtransactions: "When you are six hours into playing Battlefield and you run out of ammo in your clip, and we ask you for a dollar to reload, you're really not very price sensitive at that point in time...We're not gouging, but we're charging." |

Never heard of it. But as I stated on the COH, the MMO pool needs some chlorine.

It was an OK game, but the story-based content ran out quickly. Trolling people in PVP was hella fun.... But got old after awhile.

I played Black Prophecy early on. It had a ton of bugs. I put it away until they patched it and it played well enough for me to start leveling. I just didn't connect with the game. I should have, I really liked freelancer, but it was way too instanced for me.
At some point a game will get it right. EVE with dogfighting. |

It isn't a surprise this is happening & I will be very interested to find out how the GAMIGO Company is going to continue to run the game. Well what looks to be a new version of the game. http://nexusconflict.gamigo.com/en/ Is it a case of the News or Announcement From GAMIGO not coming through yet? OR have GAMIGO teamed up with someone to take on the development of BP? It wouldn't be the first time a Hosting company has expanded into Development & they many well be able to make it work. It does however seem strange if the developer of the game has gone bust that a CB of the game is about to open. I think the restrictions the game had like players really needing to have low pings, a lot of lag, lack of content, regional restrictions were just to much for the market to accept. I think we will see this sort of thing start happening more & more frequently before it gets any better as people are just not willing to pour bundles of cash into MMO's any more as the risks are just way to high. CCP the developers & Hosts of the EVE Online & DUST514 franchises have come very close to having the same sort of situation recently also, & may end up in the same boat still if DUST514 doesn't do as well as they are hoping. Time will tell & as they have as good as stopped developing the Vampire MMO they were developing I think it won't be long.

Such a shame, it had the 1 thing that was missing from EVE, actual control over the ships ...
Sadly it's never gonna happen in EVE, the few hardcore fundamentalists prevent EVE from becoming a truely amazing game that could please all sorts of players .. |

Originally posted by ZebraFinch It would not please all sorts of players because it would not please many of current EVE players. There is no unversal system that "will please all sorts of players". People like diffrent things. I will not even start about what would mean twitch combat in massive EVE battles apart of that it would totally not work. |

Originally posted by fenistil Even with EVE's super cluster hardware, they have problems with major fleet battles. The commercial technology just doesn't exist for such things right now. I'm always amazed that things work as well as they do. |
