To me, this is a perfect example of how our (Mine at least, the US) country is falling into the socialist mentality.

 

"We paid for a service or product, which currently lacks a feature they promised(not entirely on release) and now we want big government with its laws to protect us and attempt to get masses of money out of it."

 

This is absolutely pathetic, those in support of this are nothing but socialists who don't want to run their own lives, to be responsible for themselves and their decisions. Big deal, no DX10 YET. You want to drag our legal system into it? Big GovCo?

 

Please, I implore you, stop gaming. Go vote for Obama and hide in your homes, unemployed and collect my tax money to life off of. Let someone, everyone else take care of you.

See this is what happens when ppl start talking about politics in a gaming forum u see this idiots saying things they dont have a clue...

Yeah socialism is about living unemployed and sucking money outta big corporations O_O

If you sue someone that means all you care about is making money off of something stupid. That is the truth my friends. Yes i mean that in every single case you can come up with. If you get hit by someone all they should pay is the amount of damage that happen not 20thousand extra just because you are pissed. All sueing is is you want to waste some of your time going through the court system to earn some extra money you do not really need you selfish bastard. Pay for the damage and that is it. Funcom should pay you for the game price nothing more at the most. quite being babies about it, it is just a game after all.

Did he really said all that crap?

So what if some poisoned food makes me sick the Restaurant all they have to pay is for some medicines and a checkup? What kind of responsability is that...

Oh yeah i fall in some mall and break a leg because there wasnt a sign and all they pay is for the Doctor and the medicines? Who pays all the time ill be with a casket without being able to do thousands of things? that doesnt have a price...

Ok ive seen a couple of refrences that law-suits have been brought against Funcom for what was promised and what came out and was stated on there boxes. Any lawyers out there wanna give there opion.

 

no. You cannot sue a MMORPG. Right in their EULA it states they are not held liable for changes in their game and development.

You cannot sue a game for coming out broking or sucking. Any lawyer will laugh you right out of the door. Especially for $50 or $80.

An EULA doesnt protect any company against false advertising they could write God is Black in the EULA and that wont go over the law

Well there are also some projects that dont end like that...

It is too easy to call crappy an MMO from this side of the wall, when ur on the other side the developers side making even the smallest MMO may seem like a great sucess

Also there is this neverending trend of MMO makers always promising stuff they cant deliver, first they start all ambitious and then they start cutting anything that seems to difficult...

Look now at what they did to Warhammer from 6 cities to 2 cities, 4 classes less, etc etc

In Age Of Conan also they started all ambitious and the PvP is meaningless because there is nothing implemented about it

Btw, i was reading the last posts and there is this game called Fiesta Online wich yeah is the typical asian MMO with all the grinding and stuff

But it has 1 interesting feature, Kingdom Quests, they are like a raid it has a matchmaking system where at determinated hours the server opens like slots to do the quest and anybody can join, and it is great it is fun, it isnt something that feels like a job, a bunch of guys that doesnt know each other gotta beat this dungeon and kill the boss at the end..

And yeah it is pretty nice to see how ppl work together without knowing each and i also think thats how it should be

I'll give my reasons for completely not wanting to raid anymore in an MMO.

 

-It takes too much of my time.

-It sets a timetable on my playtime. (be on at XX.XX because that's when the raid starts)

-I can't do what I want in the game.

-People take the game much too serious.

-I don't like to use Vent.

-Too much drama.

-Playing becomes work, and I don't want that really.

 

Anyone else feel the same way?

 

 

 

I hate raid will always hate them and i refuse to play 5 hours in a row to kills some gay boss mob NO THANKS... i like to do whatever i want get up of my chair whenever i want...

And i want to have FUN...

Dont get me wrong i love grouping and killing a mob boss and all the teamwork, but in short periods like the instances in WoW not the 8 hours marathon raids...

And the worst part is the point of killing the boss and the fact that ppl does the same raid 10 times to get an item... LORD

I had the same problem is so freakind idiotic that a game comes with 30 days free and that they ask for a credit card before u use those 30 days

It maskes no freaking sense...

Thank god i used a friends credit card without any problem i was getting pretty mad and i was going to return the game

No way in hell im going to spend 30$ extra without knowing if i may like or not the game and then i would have 3 months

You guys are missing the real change in the direction of mmorpgs, and thats it going from PvE focused games to PvP focused games. Developers are noticing that in order to give a long lasting meaning to the game they need something that keeps changing and that is pvp
New era = PvP

There isnt a succesfull PvP mmorpg out... if one of those games manages to do it well it is going to be a huge hit... it is going to be like counter strike in online Fps...

I hope my e6400 2gb ddr2800 and 8800GTS runs it in high

LOTRO won't last long, in my opinion. Not because its a crappy game (Its great, actually), but because games like Conan and W.A.R. are on the horizon. A lot of people see LOTRO as a timesink till then.

2 cents from this guy .

 

P.S.: What exactly do sales have to do with anything?

Gee, you don't get it do you?  Your perfect MMO would be perfect alright only you and a few select others would be playing it.

Ever think what permanent death would do to the support group.  Constant petitions about how such and such game glitch killed them or they lost connection....etc.   It be a support nightmare to say the least.

What you left you off your little treatise, is that MMO's cost money to make, and must have a certain level of playerbase to support it.

What you propose would have neither.  Next time think a bit before you write something so ignorant.

Actually you should really think before posting ;) makeing yourself look like a fool.

Where is he wrong , any MMORPG that enforces perma death for ALL players IS going to have a very small, and like as not very unprofitable player base. Just because someone does not have your viewpoint does not make them wrong or misguided.

Both sides are merely opinions. Personally, I believe perma death when implemented correctly could allow for a better nextgen game with more immerrsion, danger, and social connotations.

The problem is with the current crop and design of EQ clones scattering the landscape, permadeath isn't appropriate. In a better designed game with a more intricate world, it'd not only be appropriate, it'd allow for a far deeper and more indepth gameplay than the current treadmills populated by stats mongers where the term death has absolutely no meaning or relevance at all.

Permadeath will come and it'll be the nextgen of game. I'm sorry, the instance based static respawn design limits MMOs. It in no way enables them as so many think.

Granado espada is just another wow clone with a new theme... god lord asian games suck so much... is like they have a factory of mmorpgs cloning..

And the worst thing is that asians buy those mmorpgs... god lord...

I guess they just dont know anything better

WoW is crap... LOTRO isnt anything special just another boring grinding mmorpg but it is good for passing time im playing it...

Hoping to try monster play lol thats the only feature i like

I think we will be able to see something like that in the future...

There is too many problems still about PvP centered games

One of the main things is performance we saw what happened in Shadowbane...

Another thing is how difficult is to make such an open game

And the worst element is PEOPLE yeah.. ppl in games tend to act like retards and in most open games they tend to ruin the whole experience...

But yeah i like all the ideas and i want to see a game where ppl can form guild, towns, even a new country !! i want to see a game where politics play a role a game with rebels, nations, bandits, etc a game where u can build whatever the heck u want to build...

I hope one day we can see a huge project like that

Wow so many stupid ppl why post if u are not going to add anything? stupid posts like "It sicks nobody is going to buy it" brainless....

Well i like the idea of permadeath but i dont see it implemented in todays mmorpgs they gotta change almost everything, and i dont see it like something viable in a game thats purely focused in combat

I see something like that possible in a MMORPG that triest to imitate life like u start as a kid u grow up, get a job, depending in the timeline maybe u train as a warrior or as a crafter

I have seen 1 or 2 mmorpgs that had this idea but they just didnt make it, that kind of revolution can only be done by a big company with a big budget...

I like the idea just not in todays mmorpgs archtype....

Another thing u gotta consider is the human fact in mmorpgs u can make a great game with all those ideas but if the ppl playing it is inmature they are going to ruin the whole thing trust me
