that's why it's a prediction...

I like to see this happen with EVE, I do believe their concept of a Sci fi MMO is a good one, but  allot players don't care about the way they have there server set up for pvp only. So if you don't mind please vote and take time to share  your thoughts

 

 

Thx

i would only support it if i can transfer pve ORE to a pvp server LOL

Basically, "hardcore" is gameplay that makes you stop for a moment and calculate your risks and rewards before you hit the action bar.

Every game does this, so RTS games are hardcore?

except for WoW PVP.  the only thing i calculate is how far the GY is in case i die.

It would make more sense to do a starcraft MMO since they already have sc2 due out soon so an MMO in couple years would be a logical next move. Alot of people are just playing WoW because pretty much every MMO released in the oast 2 years has been total shit.

 

Amen to that. One things for sure though, if they don't put in the same blood sweat and tears that they put in to WoW (7 years in development) then they wont meet the standards they've set. So I wouldn't be thinking 2 years away, more like 5 or 6 considereing that this only went in to development in March last year.

+ I'd expect them to do at least one more expansion after WotLK. It's a licence to print money. The problem is I'm ready for something new now lol.

they probably would use the WoW engine though so development actually could be cut down to 2 years.

This is the reply from Gamestop, Target and Walmart stores in my area.   I was talking to a friend at work about this game, so he wanted to give it a shot.   We went to 2 targets, a walmart and 2 gamestops, all were sold out of Age of Conan and we waiting for more copies to arrive. So..  the haters who dont play keep talking and more people keep buying the game an actually playing.    That is what the real public option is about.    I get full server login wait still at times on tyrannt server.  

Rofl, IMHO this is a very good game, of course it has some bugs, what game doesn't.  But again IMHO, this is going to be a huge game (already has one of the largest sub bases now), there is so much potential and the PvP is a blast.  It will all come down to if  Funcom can deliver with the patches like they said, and so far I have looked forward to their patches as opposed to other games where you would shutter at the thought...

 

Played: Eq,Eq2,SWG,EVE,WoW,SoR,VoC,AO,DAoC....

Playing:  AoC - LvL 49 Demo

 

uh what city arey ou from?  BB, target all have 20-30+ copies left here in des moines, ia

station pass option?!?!  sweet!!  i hope that is true.

that's a lie.  you can't get banned from the WoW forums, which is why so much garbage is on there.

i laughed :)

3 mil users more actually.  the expansion coming out is a big factor.  in 2 years you're going to see maybe 1-2 more expansions.

also i really think people are underestimating WoW subscribers cancelling to move to WAR.  i'm sure people will reply saying they will but i think (at least for 6 months or so) lots of WAR players will still keep their WoW active "just in case".

199.99 lifetime was what i did when it first came out.  it is pretty much a guild wars game to me now so i'll go back when i am done with other mmo's.  it is a great plan IMO.

Here is my prediction two years from now, Summer of 2010...

World of Warcraft: 9 Million
7 Million Asia
1 Million USA
1 Million Europe

Warhammer: 4 Million
2 Million USA
1 Million Europe
1 Million Asia

Other Predictions..

Age of Conan
300k total

Darkfall (yes it will be released)
200k total

That's right, I believe that by two years Warhammer will more active US subscribers than WoW. The writing is on the wall. I have been following message boards for many months now, and currently Warhammer has a buzz that AoC and others never had. The US market is dying for something new

Of the current 10 million WoW has, 7 million of them are the Asian market. The remaining USA and Europe market will be pulled away. I listed some other "notables", so please dont ask why I didn't include "X" game. I think the MMO market is starving for something new so that's why I feel Darkfall at 200k will be somewhat of a success. I didnt list LOTRO or Vanguard because I think their numbers will stay the same.

The main point here is, I think if Warhammer turns out to be everything that is promised, the US market will jump on it.

Thoughts?

sure, i'll play...

World of Warcraft: 12 Million
8 Million Asia
2 Million USA
2 Million Europe

Warhammer: 4.5 Million
1 Million USA
1.5 Million Europe
2 Million Asia

Other Predictions..

Age of Conan
200k total

Darkfall (yes it will be released)
75k total

i have a lvl 23 guardian and having fun.  the quests are nothing new though.  also the ganking is a huge problem on scourge server.  i can't go 5 min w/o someone killing which can get a little frustrating.

also isn't it dangerous to gank so much?  can't you group with these people?  i'm keeping names and would not hesitate to leave a raid or guild if i saw these people.

It's a rarity for me to actually be excited about an mmorpg. After being disappointed so many times in the last 2 years or so. I just have a feeling that WAR will be the one.

Anyone else checking their email every few hours hoping for a beta invitation? I've already preordered the CE, but open beta can't come quick enough. I've been so bored the last few days I have resorted to playing my old console games (NES, SNES, etc).

Am I the only one that thinks CE preorder people should be immediately invited to closed beta? =)

i am very excited and already pre-ordered for the CE.  what's funny is i hated DAoC so this is really strange.

CoV and CoH are the worst at re-rolling.  i probably made 20-30 villians before i stuck with one.  and i hardly ever re-roll.  i like to cap everything i make.

here is a huge list of free mmorpg's, maybe ask on their forums.

So they say they are removing the boring parts of a MMO like significant death penalties( great another sissy zerg game where there is no accountability for playing poorly), and they are bringing new desirable things to the forefront, guilds and raiding, to draw players away from WoW.

New? Focusing on guilds means focusing on raiding, and everyone is producing a quest driven MMOG these days. Raiding and quests are hardly innovative, that's what WoW is also about ultimately. It's the same boring crap.

they are removing the "boring parts" of the game.  what a concept they did there </sarcasm>

tough game to find.  don't think it exsists.  the sims was discontinued because it was all that and ppl got bored.  you are a minority and the sims online proved that.

second life is best option.  you don't like that so there is nothing and no one will build one like that because it can't get the population to pay for it.

maybe there is some type of korean f2p game out there that you can search for.

finally, should cut down on all the loot on the ground in the starting zones.
