I can imagine you are a stubborn person in real life. Stop calling yourself an mmo player, because you are not. I love Chinese food, but I never had an eggroll in my life is what you are basically saying. Yes you are wannabe Chinese food lover.

You played WoW before you played The Realm Online, sad.  You are a wanna-be MMO player.

Love ccp- but this?...Leave it to Funcom=TSW rules! nothing else will impress me.

they should of focused on making a 'walking eve-online'  with all factions=unfortunately PS3 highjacked it.

 

Lord I hope this is a poor attempt at trolling.

The game is uninspired at best. I heard the same is true about the TV show.

Game is entertaining, show is great.  Problem is because it's actually a good show it will be cancelled and replaced by re-runs of Dr. WhoGivesAShit.

This is a niche MMO, the rules were laid out, and the vision was shared.

 

But this got really popular really fast, and just looking at this forum alone you can see the influx of post wow era mmoers, who just started playing mmos after 2010  because their Xbox was getting old...are just complaining up a storm about this and that..

I want fast travel,

I want an action house,

I want dungeon finders, loot drops,  tokens and quest, solo story lines,  pretty much everyting that the kids who play assasins creed and black ops want. Tons of shallow scripted content and anti community systems that dont belong in MMOS.

 

It is soo easy to see how the devs that just want to sell copies can get sucked into this casual player crap. Becasue it just staggers me the amount of people who want an MMO to be just a socially shallow crapshoot.

 

MJ is a G*d damn savior..  Stick to your guns sir.

My first online game was a modification of the core code of CircleMUD.  My first graphical MMO was "The Realm Online".

I want a system of economical trade.

I want a system of teleportation.

I want a system of group finding.

Because the first MMO's ever created had them, and it is what we expect.

How do MMO designers have jobs at this point. really how do these people have jobs.

It's one thing to take the casual solo quest grind gameplay of WoW, it's another to use it in every MMO and call your MMO innovative. Just call it WoW-clone 326.

If I see one more  kill bugs 0/6 quest in a game, or give this letter to Gandalf 0/1 quest , I am going to punch a designer in the face.

Then we can call WoW the EQ Clone 231... and that one the UO Clone 994.. OH OH THEN THAT ONE THE REALM CLONE 2345!!!

People that consider WoW the benchmark make any point they may have had invalid.

I solo'd all the way to max and completed the entire storyline without needing to enter a dungeon... after trying a few dungeons I couldn't be bothered to log back in.

You can definately experience all non-dungeon content on your own time... so considering there is not monthly I say give main story a run through, heck, you already paid for it anyways.

I think it's a good thing. You know people who help fund a project are going to actually care about how it turns out, and give the best feedback and bug reporting. Rather than inviting random people who sign up for every alpha/beta test they can.

DAoC was ok I suppose.. not really... actually...  I bought my way in because I have disposible income and I was bored.

So, your theory is pretty much shot there.

You rail against this game, but keep or used to keep Playboy mags in your closet?

I am the husband to a wonderful wife and a father to the most amazing daughter ever. I too agree that the objectifcation of women is in bad taste at a minimum.

But....untill I hear you decry SI and their swimsuit issue, or Playboy, or the GoDaddy.com adds, the claims you make against this or any other game that contains scantily clad women, are lip service paid to the cause. For shame. I say again For shame.

I like most all of what you have to say Bill Murphy, but I lean on a leg of integruity, either stand against all objectification, of hush up.

I all understood was: "Look at me, I'm one of those sensitive men, everyone pay attention to me!  Are you looking?  LOOK AT ME! I AM EVOLVED!  PLEASE GOD PAY ATTENTION TO ME!"

But on topic... regardless of the jiggly bits being all jiggly, the game looks incredibly vapid.

Best news since I heard that Star Citizen will also have permadeath :D

Could it be.. do games get hardcore again? MMOs no longer catering to carebears? Too good to be true.

Name me one permadeath game that has came out and succeeded? How many of these too good to be true permadeath games are you currently playing?

I have no qualms with pvp open world and full loot but permadeath is stupid.

Every arcade shooter. In arcade shooters when you die you lose all powerups. You have to get them again and again every time you die. And in MMORPGs, Realm of the Mad God.

LOL, that's funny.

Oh... you're serious... hrm.

Yes, the original version is buy to play.  Then, they release an expansion, which you have to purchase.  Much like when you purchase the first part of a 3 part series, you don't get all three just because you bought the first one.

Christ the sense of entitlement around here is astounding.

If lawmakers really understood gaming and how mmos work instead of being old stuffbags, they'd probably pass a law to force release of server code X years after cancellation.   Just like copyrights can expire for dead artists.

 

 

I agree, I'm going to go demand the rights for every television show that was cancelled that I enjoyed now... surely they won't laugh at my asinine request, after all, I paid my monthly subscription to my cable provider.  I am ENTITLED to be given ownership!
