Nayh.. you had to actually play that to get the "Wrong Realm" idea, and that also took into account that you actually played D&D in that realm. No.. Turbine just took a license that should have been MMO gold and made a piss-poor game with it. Almost as bad as $OE taking Star Wars and killing it. |

Polls like the one here at MMORPG.com might have something to do with the ratio of Fantasy to Sci-Fi games as well:

You're just looking at it from a different perspective... You're right ofcourse that the D&D name alone is worth gold, but... Personally i know i made the choice to ignore it completly cause of the 'wrong realm', in fact, i dont know anyone at all that plays D&D:online. I know alot of people who are D&D fans and also play MMO's, after it was clear that this was not Forgotten Realms nobody seemed to even be interested anymore... And if anyone of them was, the crap you describe they made out of it exactly wouldn't make things better... (I know one guy who tried it out, he didnt like it, but he didnt know anything about D&D anyway :P ...) If you ask me, D&D is making a huge mistake by slowly killing off the old established Realms for the sake of one that's just a blend of the others... |

Yes, but Polls arent really all that reliable ;) Most people dont really know what they might like or might not like, they just go with what they feel most secure with... What those polls tell me is rather that fantasy games are more likely to be sheit because companies are more likely to do a poor job on a fantasy game cause fantasy is what's most people hypotheticly feel secure with. :P |
