Great interview. I used to play/test the game but gave it up for reasons. After reading this interview though I may end up going back to the game. it was well worth it at one stage and it looks like it might be again :) |

I've played on and off several times, and from the looks of things I'll be coming back again. I can't wait to see how that "tactical gameplay" works out, it's been my biggest complaint thus far.
Can't Wait |

But planetside is a good example of a game which doesn't have a system like that. But has better FPS fast paced action then FoM.
WWII Online is probably the best example for a really detailed system of how to kill something.....but really buggy. Have to put something up! |

Every time I read about this game I get excited about the cool stuff that is possible in it. Then I remember how lost i felt the first time I tried to play it. :0 Still this game sounds great. It would be great if the graphics could get a nice overhaul at some point, I remember them being kind of lackluster. Anyway thanks for the good questions and responses. :)
 It is pathos we lack, and this lack of pathos makes the worlds we explore quite stale. http://www.mmorpg.com/blogs/Antioche |

Truthfully, we need games like that. It caters to a type of player that is quickly turned off by hand-holding games like World of Warcraft. The types of players that like the hard-core sandbox model are the same types who stick to a game forever, and who are the most happy to help the new player who feels lost. I think it has been beautifully proven by the likes of SOE and what they did to Star Wars Galaxies that a game's veteran players are the real force behind bringing in the new players, not the advertising. A game's satisfied player base is how it survives and grows. I'm still wandering, looking for a new home since SWG was butchered at the beginning of last year. I think FoM has potential to be it after Milestone 2 is published, and I'll give a look-see then. If it turns out to be what I'm looking for, I will definitely be bringing people with me. |

All in All though...when I spent my time playing/testing the game before it went P2P, I just didn't think it was solid enough for their to be a growing base of players who actually would PAY for the game.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVED IT! It works in such an innovative way and the faction oriented gameplay added a solid role playing element to the game that a lot of others don't provide. Still, it was clear to me that it was NOT worth paying monthly for a game that continuously was buggy...and after reading this interview...I feel the slow start is because of this. Then again...maybe I just really really enjoy FREE things  |

Too bad game imo. Ojom is slacking too much. I can't even subscribe an account ,lol gg. And lol community sucks ass. Too many hackers aswell. Flying around, using aimbots. They need a lot of GM to get this shit working ,but ofc they never will.

Originally posted by SilencerCap I suspect that you are one of the 'hackers' you are talking about... but you do have a good point. The publisher (OJOM) has prevented any real action against hackers. In thier effort to avoid problems, they have caused more by not allowing the GM's to take hard and fast action against those that cheat. This means that all the players suffer, while waiting for action to be taken. It does eventually happen, but often only after a the cheaters cause problems in the game. |
