oh woot 3 sandbox mmo in the top ten. Niiiiice. Congrats to CCP!

I really find hard to understand how EQ2 extended got only 7.1%. Objectivelly speaking, you have there the biggest, most varied, with more content, etc of all those in the list. I might give LOTRO a 2nd because quests are very well put, but being a somewhat fun game, it's such a simple mmo...

"Old Flight-Sim players" -_- we are the most sofisticated ones !! XD

 

Take a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSIGzDMJ-ik&hd=1

There is nothing like an Aratech 74-Z speeder bike :l

Perhaps it's a generation thing, but I find hard to "iconize" Old Republic stuff like I did with the Star Wars saga stuff (Skywalker family, Tie Fighter, X-Wing, At-At, Stormtroppers, etc.)

But I don't think planets in TOR will feature any kind of "empty" space to justify the needs of such a vehicle. Every step you make, there will be a quest or anything. Pitty new developers and audience that doesen't understand the value of any slight degree of realism in a virtual world.

Diving to #109 today!!!!one11!!

Rollercoaster XD

 

PD: only stable positions are like the first 40 or 30 ranks, the other ones have very similar hours played and thus can change greatly from day to day.

Yes it's a filter, thus the gaps. For the "all games" ranking list (click "rank" to sort it by):

 

http://www.xfire.com/games/

Xfire with the new launcher hadn't worked for a long time. It has been fixed past year but I guess lots of swg left it already and never returned. I think it's a great tool to promote a game so it would not be a waste of time to do some official sw channel and a promo campaign there, as many other mmos have done.

 

BTW since I've necro-bumped the xfire thread in soe forums, ranked has bumped too XD

Today is at #69. In a couple of days, from 104 to 69, not bad (absolute rank from a list of all games played). It could go down as easily tho...

 

Seriously, an official group is needed, or at least a semi official, senator sponsored group.

ok everything working now ^^

So me and a friend, both from Spain, can't log into SWG, also none of SOE website are reachable. DC Universe related perhaps?

I just resubbed and never I have seen so few jedi in my SWG history XD (I think part is because appearance clothes/armor)

I started a new toon in Farstar, so there is way more ppl than my old server Radiant.

EvE will launch Incarna and every developer and his mother will want to work for CCP XD

SOE said they are removing the free trial.

They want new players to play on eq2x, not live.

 Makes sense I suppose.  Although that's rather lame considering how much better the free trial is than the extended service since the trial had no restrictions whatsoever to it.

Then again I suppose they're banking on the extended server being more profitable to them.  Frankly, in its current condition I can see it steering more new players away from the game rather than to it.

Isn't the regular trial where you can only play in one tiny isle and 15 days? If it's, do you call that unrestricted? well, you can play all classes, races...but in a isle and for 15 days. Extended bronze gameplay is objectively milions light ahead of that.

Also, the refer a friend 15-day trial is still there for classic servers.

 

I agree in what it makes sense. Gradually move more and more servers to extended scheme.

Just started in EQ2 via the new extender service. I'm paying zero (bronze player) and the game itself is free and so far enjoying it a lot. Check guild named "Age of Bronze", it's bronze/silver players only so it's very suitable for those that atm don't want to pay subscriptions and need to overcome the restrictions collectively.

 

About restrictions, there are no restrictions in content. You have the full game minus the last expansion, so it's like 5-6 years worth of content for free (too much XD). Restrictions are oriented not towards content but toward races, classes, types of weapons, char slots, number of bags, etc.

 

PD: Wizardry, the lag was on all eq2 servers, not just extended. It's already fixed at least in the zone where I'm playing. Just temporary glitch somewhere.

Or better, try the error checking described here, much faster and I think even safer: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=15&topic_id=484813&#5395015

I think the gold subscription (14,9$) is more or less the same as the regular server, except you don't pay the cost of the game but to balance that, you have just four starter races, others being purchasable. If you already have bought the game, well, it's a loose ideed.

 

The platinum plan gives more than the regular server subscription, but also costs like 20$ more per year (tho they give you the last expansión for free and 500 points for the shop each month, so in the end I'm not sure).

 

I admit that, from bronze, silver, gold and platinum, the most debatable one is gold. The other ones I think they are pretty nice without any doubt.

 

Here is the matrix: http://everquest2.com/_themes/default/images/extended/membershipMatrix.jpg

 

In the end, there is a lot of choice and everybody should be grateful they give us so much for so little payment.

 Godl subscription is not the same primarily because of the limited  races. You could say platinum is the same but you wind up paying more for the same thing.

No no, check the table I've linked.

Platinum is definitelly more than live: it gives you 500 points each month, includes the latest expansion and 10 char slots (7 in live). You pay a little bit more of course, but because you're given more too.

 

Gold is almost like live, except less number of races (purchasable at 7.5$ per 3 races) but also the game and expansions are free (except latest expansion), tho in live you can subscribe for one year and pay less. So, in the end is quite similar for a new player. If you're an old live player then not so because you already paid for the game and expansions.

 

In the end, as I said, SOE just has given more choice and that ain't bad per se. Obviously, my thought is that if this scheme goes well they'll make more money because they'll have way more players (more money globaly, not more per player).

I still plan to make use of extended, but only as a something to do for free to kill time kinda thing.  I was planning on making a full time game experience, even knowing I might have to shell out some cash here and there.  But, what kills it for me however, is that you can literally (by their matrix) pay a 15 dollar sub fee like everyone else on the normal game servers and still not get all the bells and whistles.  I mean WTF?  Do they really think anyone in the gaming world, is dumb enough to pay the same price as someone else and still get shafted on options?

Too much complaining for a game that's giving 5-6 years worth of content/expansions for free. I can understand they have to put limits in other areas, it's not like they are giving the game 100% free, they need to eat everyday XD. I'm enjoying it btw, never played eq2 and I'm blown away by it's complexity and vastness, a bit sad the cluncky graphics engine.

Testing it right now again and enjoying it. Too many new things in those last months! Gonna take a look at that diplomatic system :)

 Half the episodes happen inside ships so it's a no brainer to have full interiors, both for socialization and roleplaying and "quests".

What STO have is story, where other mmo don't. You really need to read in STO, and remember a lot of things because storylines take lots of quests, one thing might appear at lvl 5 and then reappear and surprise you at lvl 20. and ifyou watched and remember series and films, the coolness factor increases a lot.

It's more like the experience you have in single player games where the story usually is the key element of the game.

I think SWTOR will take that same approach, putting the importance in the storyline.

I'm more for the sandbox style game, where players really write the story (eve is my fav mmo), but story as a center factor in mmo is really refreshing.
