There was a UO2 in development, long ago. EA killed it, claiming it would 'compete with UO'. But really it was a newly promoted exec wanting to make the company's bottom line look good in his first year.
The McFarlane prototype figures looked really good though. If you are waiting for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one. |

Originally posted by Tibernicus DAoC is a themepark, UO is a sandbox, that's the number one reason Mythic would never be able to develop a good UO game. Second, it's not the same Mythic, they are Bioware 2 now. Third, noone but Garriot should attempt an UO 2. And im not even sure i would want UO 2 developed by Garriot....

Originally posted by karmath The last line should be "Go fuck yourselves, EA." If there was anything good in SWTOR it was because of Mythic, not EA. Mythic was a company that had released about... 8 I think, successful online titles, DAoC being their most popular. They were on their way to making 2 more MMOS when EA bought them. Ever since EA has owned them, their games have been poor. Considering EVERY MMO EA gets involved with goes south... let's use our grade school critical thinking skills to discover the common element... |

Originally posted by kol56 I'd hardly call DAoC a themepark. Hell, the term "themepark" rarely applies to any game that isn't a WoW clone. Just because DAoC wasn't as sandboxy as UO doesn't mean it was a "themepark". Themepark implies being led by the nose and developer imparted safety. These things were not in DAoC. |

Originally posted by Tibernicus DAoC is a themepark MMO, just like EQ & Lineage 2. Just because they weren't a wow clone with streamlined linear questing doesn't mean they aren't themeparks. By your definition, GW2 is a sandbox.....
Btw im not calling DAoC casual, shallow and linear, that's what todays themeparks are, old themeparks had more freedom and depth, but they where still themeparks. "Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge." "The idea behind the tuxedo is the woman's point of view that men are all the same; so we might as well dress them that way.

Originally posted by kol56 Themeparks, by their very definitions, are about casual users, casual gameplay, simple mechanics, and keeping the users safe by never letting them off the rails. DAoC and EQ let players off the rails almost entirely right from the start. DAoC didn't even have a tutorial for 5 years. They were not themeparks. You can't say "old themeparks used to be different" because the term themepark itself is new, and was coined to described WoW and its clones in a more politically correct manner. And no, GW2 would not be a sandbox "by my definition" because GW2 is insanely casual. There's no death penalty, instancing, you can't possibly make a weak character (or really a unique one), instant travel times... |

This could be promising, but much like Ultima Forever, people will be screaming for this to fail before it even gets off the ground.

Originally posted by Tibernicus Um.... no. Wait, did you just said that EQ wasn't a themepark? There are casual and hardcore themeparks, just like there are casual and hardcore sandboxes, being casual doesn't have anything to do with being a themepark. "Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge." "The idea behind the tuxedo is the woman's point of view that men are all the same; so we might as well dress them that way.

Originally posted by kol56 Themeparks are safe. EQ was NOT a safe game. Themepark is a NEW term that refers to NEW games. EQ is an OLD game.
Please, just try to understand for even a second. |

Originally posted by rygard49 Yes, we apologize for having standards. No no, it's fine for big publishing companies to keep churning out garbage and sticking an air freshener on it. See... we didn't choose to have standards, we just made the mistake of playing MMOs back when they were still good and we foolishly assumed they'd stay that good. |

Originally posted by Tibernicus Umm... do you even know what THEMEPARK means? "Dogs are the leaders of the planet.

Originally posted by Tibernicus Safe, casual, new, that doesn't have anything to do with a game being a themepark or not, lol. "Dogs are the leaders of the planet.

The only thing mythic should be doing is down in the unemployment line.

Wait, let me guess. You are one of those people who uses words like "sandpark" or terms like "sandbox features". "Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge." "The idea behind the tuxedo is the woman's point of view that men are all the same; so we might as well dress them that way.
