Originally posted by Wizardry All Blizzard does is sequels and they are failing?We are up to FFXIV it is a failing franchise? It is, to my mind, a defendable proposition that an MMO sequel to an MMO is a bad idea. Certainly EQ2 did not pan out well. Neither Blizzard or Square-Enix have done this yet (FFXIV will be an MMO sequel to an MMO, but it's still two years in the future. We'll have to wait and see if it was a bad idea). Lineage II was a mixed success; it never hit the original Lineage's peak and currently, Lineage and Lineage II combined are below the peak figure of Lineage II.

Originally posted by altairzq lol I loved the last point. You could add: destroying one of the best 3D MMORPG ever, with expansions that set the bases for the start of the decline of the whole MMO genre (EQ) shamelessly using the lore of your game to sell pizza to your players (EQ2) QFT Wooooow I had ALMOST totally forgotten about this! I remember making up a sales pitch for this... "Does your character eat better than you do? Too busy LFG to reach for the phone? Now, you can do BOTH, easily online with EQ2's /FMFA (feed my fat ass) function to have a nice hot pizza delivered to your door!"f Does EQ2 still support this feature? "There is only one thing of which I am certain, and that's nothing is certain."

On a side note, does anyone remember the website "The Cackling Klaknak"? God I miss that website. "There is only one thing of which I am certain, and that's nothing is certain."

Originally posted by Ihmotepp I support this thread and the OP, HOWEVER, being able to order pizza online is a good thing. Now make it come with a 6 pack and we're on to something. Being able to order pizza online is a good thing. Being able to order it using a command inside the game... well for me it's something only a company of douchebags like SOE could do.
