Massive under the wrong M. Now you've jinxed the entire MMO community -- suddenly WoW's player base will drop to 500k, and everyone else will get 50k, so WoW will be the only game to ever survive, and the dark ages will begin.

Sucks you're having problems. I have yet to have any latency issues. My only issues are with my computer, since it sucks.

I've been reading the AoC forums and haven't heard way too many people complain about latency issues... most of the stuff over there is about the Traders(auction house) and banks and stuff being bugged and not working, and the instancing.

Unfortunately, my main concern (while waiting for my pre-order box) is still valid.
It's about world being instanced. Now I read in another post 100 ppl per instance. I couldn't tell if they were referring to the -well known- by now 48v48 sieges instance or in every "zone" in the world.
I'd hate it if all the zones had 100 ppl max before new instance is created. I mean, imagine being a guild, having gathered 40-50 ppl to attack your enemy guild where they XP in order to revenge for something that happened earlier, only to find out they are in some instance of the zone that is max'ed out and you can't go in.............
Guild wars would be one....hell...of....a......problem.

groups will get instanced to the same place

Have you actually read my post?

 

My grp may zone in all together but if the enemies' instance is full (max'ed out) there is NO way we can enter their instance to attack them. That's my concern, hence I said, guild wars (fights between large grps) may be one hell of a problem, due to the instances and the limited population per instance.

Well, as they said, you can't just walk up to a guild's base and tear it down. You have to challenge them, and then wait for the specified time, gather up the troops and then do it. I am sure they have a system set up that zones you both into the area together, but with the 100 or whatever cap, I assume that means there also won't be any onlookers, or unexpected little problems that aren't related to either guild.

But then, if you were talking about just finding some random enemy guild members about and ripping through them, well... wouldn't think you'd need 40-50 people for that. ;)

I don't know, went pretty smooth for me. I pre-ordered from EBGames near me on May 9th or so , got the card with the serial for the war mammoth, set up my account and clicked to pay for early access. Got the email on May 12th, finished downloading May 13th. Installed and patched earlier today.

Glad they're giving you guys another chance to get in early.

I just finished installing and patching the game. All ready for the 17th. Woo!

In the last 3 years(!) only ONE new MMORPG passed the 1.2% marketshare and that was LOTRO.

Now LOTRO hangs in there at 0.9% marketshare. Oh BTW LOTRO is ALSO launched in China :))

ALL other newly launched MMORPG of the last 3 years have 0.5% marketshare (makes you think don't you?)

That's about 100K subs or less.

According to Lord British (maker of Tabula Rasa) the game needed 0.8% marketshare to break even. TR made this barrier the first 4 months after release, now it's also sunken under at 0.5%

And guess who has a 62.2% marketshare with PAID subscription (trials and expired aren' t even counted...)

Just look how far driven off MMORPG.COM has come from 90% of the MMORPG PLAYERS base.

Blizzard released some really goodies on their new WotLK expansion (like ridable tank/artillery and group siege artillery and Hero classes).

You won't fnd ANY information on MMORPG while IGN.COM has pages and pages full of it.

MMORPG.COM just lost about ANY real world feeling with the active players of MMO's.

Result of this politics?

Hype - failure- hype - failure- failure-failure on every new launched MMORPG since Wow in a never ending circle.

Makes you all think what 62.2% marketshare just means...

 

 

 

Ok im not saying WoW doesnt have 8 million subs.

 

But I think that mmorpg chart is a bunch of bull you know why?

 

CoH and LOTRO have almost the same amount of subs!?!!?!?!

 

Theres no way, ive played both games, at once at one point and every server i played on CoH was empty and Every lotro server was always full.

 

Sorry but i think you need more col hard facts then that, meaning REAL numbers and not a freakin pie chart.

 

I could make a site and put a pie chart on it, you know what id be?

 

A guy who made a site and put a freakin pie chart on it!

I think you should probably go back to CoX and check out that population again. There are people literally everywhere you go in that game at all times. Lots of people.

A possibility of a video within the year is as close to Darkfall as anyone will get.

There are other better games full of PvP coming out relatively soon such as Age of Conan, Chronicles of Spellborn, and Warhammer Online, that you should probably either go with GW as something quick to pass the time, and then switch to one of those while still being able to play GW now and then if you want, since there's no monthly fee, or just wait until they're released.

The grind in L2 is just not worth it. It's also outdated now and not fun. Though there will always be someone on here that will disagree with me.

It's almost kinda sad that I find this to be more entertaining than any other MMO out at the moment, hopefully until AoC anyway.

It's a pretty good game. There are a lot of mini-games, kart-racing, and golf (which I've yet to try out), which are all pretty fun, as well as player housing and pets (which you can have one of at a time) that roam around outside that you can teach tricks to help you in battle, though they take so frustratingly long to teach them to get better at the tricks, that I probably won't even bother.

The fights in the cog buildings are pretty fun, and the combat just anywhere is, for that matter, since you run into a cog and start a battle, and anyone can just join in, and it doesn't really matter.

It's like the only game out there where no one really minds if others help on their kills without their permission, no one's constantly harassing others, there's no trade chat going on with "WTS and WTB, etc." all the time, and everyone is either nice, or just ignores you.

Since the chat system is a speedchat that you just click and select sayings to talk, rather than actively typing everything out, because Disney doesn't want people cursing and yada, because, in all essence, it is a kids game. The only way you can type to each other, is if you add each other as a True Friend. I kinda prefer this kind of interaction though.

It's funny how a game with such limiting social barriers actually has the greatest social interaction I've seen to date, with the exception of DAoC.

It was made for kids, and the cartoony atmosphere isn't for everyone, but the game is very populated, the mini-games and such are fun, and the combat is unique and, well, also quite fun.

Doesn't look like the game world is all that big though, but I'll have to get back to you on that. Also, fi you're older and think you'd wanna play it, be prepared to be insulted by others for it.

I just started playing yesterday, and I've already had someone say, "Are you gay or something?" lol

Also, I think the devs have a good sense of humor that the older players might pick up on, but the younger probably woudln't even think about. Your house is called an Estate, and your pet is called a Doodle. A hint comes up during a loading screen that says something along the lines:

"To heal quickly after battle, go to your Estate and play with your Doodle."

I laughed. Hard.

lol that is the stupidest thing. They actually gave names to these characters and then have you give them another name? Wow, I couldn't wait to run into another Sid every 2 minutes. Way to make them characters on their own so as to completely eliminate the character customization portion of the game.

It may be slightly more fun than other crap 2D anime games, but "slightly more fun" when compared to "not fun at all" isn't exactly what I'd call a major success in the genre.

Not that these games will ever stop being developed as long as kids, adults, and predators who either can't afford, are too cheap, or wanna get as close to children as possible without it being illegal, respectively, are around and playing them.

If it ever even comes out. It was originally supposed to be released in 2006, but there hasn't really been any news since then. Though I did watch something on youtube that said Q4 2007, but still, it didn't happen.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if they were sued or something by Nintendo for copying Zelda: Wind Waker graphics, or at least warned, then they stopped development or something.

It's not available yet.

The mature rating has very little to do with the awesome, rocking tits, as it does with the gore, I believe. Go watch Developer Diary 3 I think it was on youtube -- might have been 4 -- what other game can brutally get eaten by monsters, or kick someone down and stab them slowly, hearing the penetration of their flesh as they scream?

My experience with raids in WoW:

I may like raids if I ever had anything but bad experiences with them. Maybe if I got into a guild that wasn't full of pricks, and played for fun, it might've been alright. But when you're in a guild that the leader of the guild is yelling at the beginning of the dungeon, and is saying things like, "Guys, I am really REALLY starting to get pissed off!" and yada before we even really do anything. Oh, and god forbid asking a question or saying even one word, 'cause they'll tell you to just shut up and listen to what they're saying.

THis was also Molten Core back before BC, and after all this crap, came the most monotonous few hours of my life with no rewards. About three more days of this and I was done.

Now I just don't really have the time to get people together and raid for hours. Unfortunately that's where all the good content goes, and all the solo/5-man stuff is total shit by comparison.

Even when I first started playing the game, I'd get to 12-15 within the first day - day and a half without enough noticing. I don't understand how it could be difficult. Some quests are harder to find/do than others, but honestly, that doesn't kick in until you're at least out of the starter area for the most part. Except for maybe Princess the pig, or the Collector ones in Elwynn.

First off, go to your class trainer in Goldshire, 'cause if you still only have Heroic Strike, you probably haven't done so yet. Which means you're missing out on lots of skills like Hamstring, Charge, even an improved version of Heroic Strike, etc.

After that, it's basically up to learning how to find your way around, and honestly, no one can help you with that. Sure you can go to Thottbot.com and get everything pointed out to you. But you wouldn't be someone who gives up and takes the easy way out, would ya?

EDIT: Also, if you find you're too slow, maybe you should try being something else. If you're a Hunter or Shaman, you get different speed abilities at level 20. Shaman turns into Ghost Wolf for 40% increased speed, Hunter gets Aspect of the Cheetah for 30% increased speed, though you get dazed if hit by a mob. Also, Druid, though it takes longer, gets a Cheetah form with 40% increased speed at level 30.  Though you'd be getting a mount at 40 anyway (60% increased speed), if you have the money.

I'd like one too if someone doesn't mind: griggins@gmail.com, or just PM me here.

I see you are racist I hope you are not all the same in neocron, one off the first Millionaires in gaming vas woman from china what you’re problem?

That we make money from games, that make us smart or you dumb?

I don’t need to play game that asks me for credit card to try it for free!

I pay Eve every month almost 50$ but I was able to TRY IT FOR FREE not CC asked!

And no you don’t need me good because I won’t jump in your scamming trap!

Oh the post I wrote they are all facts what the problem I just speak the TRUTH not mine truth I always back it up with facts?

Oh because you did read all mine post I doubt it you say I make 1k month in fact I make more but you can point that I lost 8k in 3 years in entropia I guess you forgot that J

I like to play games yes and what is wrong if you can make money from it? I did not make those games and I did not decide how the economy works in them!

Next time when you post something do it both ways I understand you defend your game but for fact I don’t know if the game is good and I never told ppl that it was not I just pointed TRUTH ABOUT FREE TRIAL if you like them to changed write to the support I didn’t make that rules !

I bet you that 80% off ppl that will go on free trial won’t do it because off credit card!

Now they know at least I helped them (saved the time) so they don’t download game if they don’t want to register credit card!

Many free trials have you register your credit card, though more and more companies are steering away from it, or just going F2P in general. They do that so that they know you actually have one, and they can bill you if you don't cancel your account at the end of the free trial. It's basically up to you whether or not you feel comfortable with remembering to cancel your account if you don't wish to continue playing.

Looks like a waste of 7 years.
