"For those fans already loyal to an SOE game or two, there is a ton of new content coming out for all your favorite existing SOE products: Everquest, Everquest II, Star Wars Galaxies, and Vanguard Saga of Heroes have all got something on the horizon. "
Did they say exactly what the new content would be for those games, or was that the extent of the statement? "If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike" |

I find it funny they dont mention star wars galaxies the game they killed and tryed to turn into WOW lol. How SOE is still in business is seriously byond me.Theyve been given unbelievable opportunities with 2 franchises and have done nothing but destroy them.

The exception is that you can say mean things about games provided you back it up with reasons. Thank you, The Staff |

Well, good graphics are not everything for a game, especially when it is SOE MMO that we are talking about.

I remember when SOE was so popular each title had its own fan faire. Sad indeed.

Compare this with Smed's interview and SOE doesn't seem to want to talk much about MMORPGs. Each title got about as much mention as SnoopDogg's cell phone games....
I still say take EQII, EQI and VG and pull it's brightest talent. Use the funds from those people still playing those games and finance EQIII and make dang sure that when it goes into open beta that it is polished and awesome and they could redeem themselves. |

As long as Smedley is there, SOE will be an also ran. Worst executive in gaming corp, bar none. Nothing worse than a clueless suit who thinks he knows it all.

Originally posted by NGESUCKS along with what you said, and what sony said in the article... Sony: Sony hopes to make gaming what gaming should be, not what many MMOs have become, which is a second job. Easier learning curves, quick-play games and the upcoming Sony Launcher are all geared toward fostering a more interactive gaming community. wow...yea...sure...ummm...ok....and what about SWG which had one of the greatest community's...ever(i have personally never played it back in the day but know how awsome it was). O and what about the PS3 which sucks balls and has no good games....o, but it has good graphix...and...umm..well....o yea! Home...w00 friggen h000. I want to spend RL money to buy furniture for my Virtual life. way to care more about bringing people together than taking there money.... |

On a major website for very knowledgeable and experienced MMORPG gamers, they've got the gall to even waste the space to post this swill of an editorial/article? Yikes! Wonder how much went into the coffers at mmorpg.com to get that $OE logo posted so prominently on the front page? I was afraid to login tonite seeing that thing! I know. Equal time for all MMO publishers. Fine. Just don't expect many folks on THIS site to buy into $OE's brave new world of watered down, simplistic gaming. -- Xix |

Originally posted by Joshua69 Easy learning curves and quick play games eh? Honestly this sounds more like the games I'd buy for a console not ones that id pay 15 a month to play also on that Gods & Heroes game- "There is currently a 6 person squad cap. This means that each player can train and control up to five of their own NPCs. This type of gameplay allows for more effective gaming, you can roll a healer, have 2 ranged DPS and 2 melee types, and voila, instant group. It's a great change of pace from waiting around looking for a healer or tank before tackling a mob." well... yeah  Fun Factor is what makes or breaks a game, if its not fun just play something else. |

Sony has only helped destroy this genre. Hell, remember EQ pre-Luclin? Yep. No Nexus meant bigger world. Then Plane of Knowledge? Go figure. Their making their games for 'everybody', but 'everybody' can be different. Think of it this way - you shoot for the moon, you'll land among stars, right? Think again. Stars are farther away - therefore you'll just fall into the infinite. That's what SOE is doing - trying to please everyone and failing to please anyone all at the same time. I LOVED this genre, it was an escape from morons and jerks who reminded me of how cruel people can be. Now those same morons and jerks are being invited to join an online sensation that I have literally been a part of since the first generation of MMO's. Oh well. John Smedley has done to MMO's what Todd Howard did to RPG's... I hope Big Bethy and SOE team-up, then they'll make a first-person roleplaying action sports musclehead car theft game. LIKE zOMG /CR3AM* *The star symbolizes my utter hatred for all things related to dumbing down games to make them less complex and easier for even the biggest of stuckup newbs to learn... |

a company who destroyed one of the greatest games in the world, pre-cu star wars galaxies is claiming that they know what the players want and how games should be... I'm lost of words, to be honest... Sony, you destroyed your brand I won't even buy a sony battery in a shop, not to mention a mmorpg with the SOE brand on it.. SOE and NGE-Star Wars Galalaxies: |

but what keeps me smiling inside is: SOE tried to compete with World of Warcraft by copying it and releasing the NGE. now imagine how the managers (John Smedley) must feel after they lost 95 % of the community, although the plan was to maximize the 250.000 they had.. I would have loved to see they're faces after they realised what a mess they had done and that nowhere they reached the goal they actually had :) SOE and NGE-Star Wars Galalaxies: |
