That is what I said.

Sounds pretty interesting.  Definitely peeked my interest.  WOW graphics don't bother me, but as some others have mentioned, I also felt that SWG struck a nice balance in terms of graphical style.

But even if it had WOW graphics, imagine WOW with these game mechanics...to me it sounds good.  But I will believe it when I see it.

I play Wurm Online because of its feature set. Oom sounds like Wurm Light to me, which is just the kind of game I'm looking for. Wurm has taught me that there are other ways to create immersion without having to use realistic,or even good, graphics.  

Wurm doesn't have child-like graphics.

 

Again, we're not looking for amazing or realistic here. We just want something NOT for children. It has gotten old, and even when WoW first released people hated the "Time Machine" that was WoW's graphics.

What I'm saying is, I don't care what style the graphics are, as long as the game has the sandbox feature set I'm looking for and I still feel immersed.

Dunno, it sounds good, but graphically it looks like a ripoff of WoW. Again, graphics don't make a game good, but it also doesn't help it when they look like a child drew the game you're making with crayons.

 

Not looking for super realism either, but i always felt SWG was a good mix between how a game should look & realistic expectation.

 

I'll keep my eye on this one, but i won't expect much until I can touch it.

 

From what I read it sounds very good, then I looked at the screen shots, or I hope concept are and my heart sunk.  I don't care how good a game is if it looks like something from wow and is too cartoon looking well then it will not matter.  I would like to see moore screen shots because what I saw was enough to make me go uggg.

 

What is it about people that when they see something colorful, it's immediately "WoW graphics"? Are people's perceptions seriously that narrow and limited?

Has your only exposure to colorful, lively color palettes been WoW, and so that's the only thing you have to compare anything and everything to?

What is so "bad" about things being colorful?

Would you never travel to a place like in this picture because "zomg it has real life WoW graphics"?

GW2 has colorful, vibrant colors as well. Does that make it "WoW-like" and not worthy of being taken seriously? Apparently not with the love-fest around that game.

Frankly, I don't see WoW in these screenshots at all. Then again, I don't immediately think "WoW Graphics!", shut my mind and have an aneurism he moment I see anything that isn't entirely colored in muted shades of brown and green.

Frankly, the art style and color palettes remind me far more of Saga of Ryzom than WoW anyway.

In any case.. the game looks very cool, they have some very intriguing concepts and I'm very interested in checking it out!

Another duplicated post.

I'm editing. Not replying. Wow.

The only thing that worries me about this game is the combat. When he said FPS is being incorporated, I completely lost interest cause to me, that instantly means cheaters ala Darkfall Online. Doesn't matter if only one person cheats, the fact the possibility is there for people to cheat is enough to turn me away. It doesn't even have to be FPS anymore as people are now finding ways to cheat in just about any MMO, such as GW2 with the teleporting hack. People never cease to amaze me with their need to completely !@#% games up cause they can't play games as they were intended to be played.

Uh... I don't see what that has to do with FPS, lol. I think there have been people trying to cheat and hack MMOs since they were first invented.

Hats off to the guys.  A 'real' MMO won't be made by the big players as it just doesn't fit their model.  The first time an indie company makes a game that grabs a ton of subs/cash with a big sandbox type game, then big players may change course.

Yea...the graphics are kinda cartoony for me (still look professional) but I wouldn't care if the game had all these features. 

Question: Why is it that I see a massive percentage of MMO fans wanting this type of game but no company wants to touch it? Only other gamers who have the technical skills attempt to make it.  Really does my head in.

Absolutely an awesome gut shot to the major production companies out there who lose interest in what you want after they start receiving their money. I applaud Burning Dog for what looks like a combination of a little of what all gamers are looking for from a team who has an ear out to the public and respond to the cries from the masses. Im ready to jump on right now. 

I have given them my output throughout production and they havent dissapointed.

   That made me think about the ability to be a graffiti artist in a sandbox video game. Look out, ./"DesXonE"\.

I think this type of game has to be FTP personally for the following reasons:

- Needs a lot of players to make it work, even casual ones are good to keep the pop up.

- Easy to sell housing kits or whatever.  Not pay to win but if you want the best looking gear then pay for it.

- People will be so much more patient with the development.  If I pay a sub and the game is half baked I tend to leave in 2 weeks.

- Will attract a lot of players who have another main subbed MMO.  Will allow a lot of players to play and not feel like they need to choose between their established MMO/guild and the new one.

Only way in my book.

I dont agree, you dont need millions of peoples to feed a game. Casual crownd are a plague for this kind of game cause most of them want everything without taking the time to play and with no effort. So they will whine because  they cant have a house in the minutes.

- Easy to sell housing kits or whatever.  Not pay to win but if you want the best looking gear then pay for it.

Sell housing kit? And what about you take the time to craft these kits? We are talking about games here.. not buying barby house for youre kids.. geez.

- People will be so much more patient with the development.  If I pay a sub and the game is half baked I tend to leave in 2 weeks.

No one is patients even with F2P, most of these so called mmoRPG players, these days want everythings and fast.

You said it yourself '' If I pay a sub and the game is half baked I tend to leave in 2 weeks.

- Will attract a lot of players who have another main subbed MMO.  Will allow a lot of players to play and not feel like they need to choose between their established MMO/guild and the new one.

If this game offer me more liberty and challenge then other mmoRPG, then yes i will leave other sub game, cause they do not offer me much or i should say almost nothing these days.

Only way in my book.

Well in my book you're book is wrong. But we do not want the same thing do we?
