Aion is better than wow, but thats just my opinion, but my opinion is what counts to me. Who cares what xfire says, or how many subs a game has. I know what i like and its not wow. Zorndorf is actually trying to convince people to like wow, he cant take it that someone may have a difference of opinion to him and to me thats childish. Zorn if you like wow so much go play it and stop wasting your energy on pointless threads like this one.

I totally agree but theres little point argueing with Zorndorf .This is a guy that i saw in one post say that the average age of a Warcraft player is 30 years old . He quotes xfire statistics like the were solid fact without realising the flaw in the arguement . If you disagree with some of what Blizzard do your instantly a WoWhater in his eyes . If anything its indicative of  the immature attitude  that puts me off the Warcraft community so much these days . Given the vast number of posts he places i dont think he can spend and awful lot of time actually playing WOW .

 

 

 

Simple.

30 year olds? I am not saying this. The Nielsen study buro says it:

http://www.wow.com/2009/04/09/nielsen-wow-is-most-played-core-game-by-25-54-females/

How you could argue against a social study with the fame of Nielsen is beyond me.

---------

Xfire proved in the past   their trends were always spot on.

If you take the EVE numbers of Xfire and the WOW number of Xfire - players that is - you arrive automatically at the fact that AoC hovers around 80K players and War  at 110 K at the moment.

And if you would doubt these figures: look at the present US server number of WAR: ... 6 servers (meaning they can host a MAXIMUM of 60K US players).

It is all there for the grabs.

Sorry you don't use the internet to watch the trends and industry.

And those are simple and easy to trace facts. Sorry if I don't give freeway to WOW hate in these pages.

I always counter with simple traceable facts and figures.

That's what bothers the WOW haters. Nothing else.

 

Seriously zorn change the damn record.

im in the university in Sweden. We got like 10 mbits down 5 mbit up for free. 5 years.. And free electricity and 2 months of free rent.

Well, to be honest, sweden simply owns denmark, in regards to internet, several years ago, when i worked in sweden we had a 25+ mbps connection,. in denmark a 25 mbps is actually  rather new, u can get 100 or more, but the standard is not even 25 yet... that must be why we fought you guys for 30 years in a row...because we knew sweden would get the better net lol ;)
edit: some spelling..probably still need some spelling correction, but who cares.

I think of vaginas more as USB ports.

 

you obviously dont know your way around a vagina then lol.

whatever blizzard do the fanbois will think its the greatest thing ever..blizzard will make micro transaction mainstream because all the wow fans will love it, I'm sure they will come out and say, "blizzards microtransactions are more polish than others"

Think about it like this:
If a game is similiar to WoW, it is guaranteed to have at least a few players who will feel home. If it is too different from MMORPG standards, players will be confused and run away.

So basically you are calling players stupid, well thats what developers think aswell.

Peaked my interest until i realised it was being hosted by ijji.

Ahhh Ijji home to a thousand trolls, A lot of anti europeans there so i think I'll pass on this one.

For anyone interested

 

USA , Mexico, Canada and the UK can play Ijji's version

Everyone else will have to wait for Webzens version.  And even though im from the UK im going to use a proxy to play the latter, that much american Self-richeous attitudes on Ijji make even me sick, i feel sorry for the few decent people there.

 

Edit: Looks like UK people are region blocked for now anyway. Cant say its a shame, maybe if enough of us contact webzen we can get UK added to their list of regions instead, i mean we are part of europe after all.

Self-richeous? Perhaps self-righteous. Listen to yourself, you're not making yourself look any better. You make europeans look bad.

You gotta admit a lot of Americans are self righteous, damn your governmnt is. One nation under god, land of the free and all that crazy stuff.

Mythic and EA

multi boxing is cheating..thats all i have to say on that.

The fact that some of you think that this is such a milestone shows how much ignorance floats on the internet.  The WCG has been on PPV on direct tv for at least 3 years now.  Plus MLG has a segment that is sponsored by espn top ten plays.

 

Besides, it probably wont last long, because the only thing more boring that watch golf, is watching someone else play a video game.  Some clips and motages are cool, but full matches with anouncers is really boring.

 

Also since most of you know the names Walshy, Ogre 1 and 2, Fatal1ty, as well as others shows how mainstream other video games have become.

they show hotdog eating competitions on espn too, so whats your point?

if you play wow like its a sport then you're a fucking loser.

Wow has broken down the barrier between professional sports and e sports, quite possibly the only game to ever acheive professional sports status. As far as wow dying , it would never die. There will never be another mmorpg that will dethrone wow. And so with this new news, i mean wow has come a long way too long. It has finally became super mainstream now thanks to the sports tv network. :p

Wow is not a sport its a video game.

Right  now Blizzard rules the MMO, RTS and the Action RPG genres. That isn't goign to chnage for teh ext 15 years I'm afarid.

Like the T-shirts said at this years E-3

If it isn't made by Blizzard I ain't  buying it.

 

blizzard havent released an action rpg or rts in years..so how the hell can they rule these genres. starcraft 2 or diablo 3 are not released yet.  this shows absolute blind fanboism on your part.

pity blizzard werent at E3, but atleast you got a t-shirt.

actually, despite Aion-pvp-fanboi'ism views, the Abyss is part of the major storyline, the rifts were just garbage added in later to allow the griefers a way to wave thier e-peens.

 

This isn't at all true.

 

And you know this how? Rifts seem custom made for griefing and ganking. Both of which are pandemic in many Korean and Chinese MMO's.

no one said you have to play the game, if you dont like it go elsewhere.

whats wrong with this game is the terrible tier system, its the worst design feature ive seen in any mmo. They will never get rid of the tier system, so this game will always be terrible. Plus they should of went with 3 factions,

Range classes have always had an advantage over melee, why you ask? well because they get off the first shot and therefore gain an advantage. So it makes no difference in flight because you still have to make up the distance to get within range.

Most of you pre-ordering were not even going to buy the game, you just wanted a freebe. This is just another example of the scum in mmorpg communities. You paid for it, now tough shit.

Wait, are you saying folks were actually surprised that the Sith was announced as a class? Like you weren't expecting to play it? I guess they will be equally surprised when Jedi is announced.

Sith warrior not just plain old sith..sith warrior is a class, I imagine there will be another type of sith class also.

Instead of thinning out player bases (like normal expansion packs do), it effectluvely regroups the orginal settings and - most important - players.

 

 

 

People that reroll dont have to do the previous expansion zones? and when it settles wont it leave Outlands and northrend  empty ish?

 

Nope. each zone gets new level requirements. it's a complete new package of Azeroth.

With this roll out, they can go do a dynamic history cycle not seen before in an MMO, without calling out #2, #3 etc;...

EQ2 was the classical way of "rebooting" EQ and ... not very succesful.

Blizzard does the re activision in a historic cycle in the game itself ... new graphs included

Seriously zorndrof, no matter what blizzard put in the expansion you would say its groundbreaking. Get off the Aion forums you fucking troll.

why the fuck is there a wow expansion thread in the Aion forum. Please delete this thread.
