shameless bump for a thread that deserves to be on top of the stack

The game is dead. it's never coming back, time to close the door on the oven, turn the temp up to cremate, and scatter the ashes in Garriott's  wheaties

Nice going Dick, next time try harder and suck less

-=A=-

it wasn't worth the asking price for the sub - esp as it was basically pay-to-beta

After level 30 you had nothing else to do but kill the same mobs over and over again till level cap

no end-game content

skill tree was so sparse as to be barren

crafting was a joke

swingeing balancing and rebalancing of the only fun classes in  the game

released far too early

garriott blaming the beta-testers who told him and the devs that this would fail if released when and how it was

only a single quest chain for all classes

over-hypped and under-delivered

too many fanboiz

I could go on, but those are the main points

Then join us TR vets, and you TR newbies in starting our NCSoft boycott. 95% of the people I know who played TR are cancelling all their NC subs.

So that means about 12 people will be boycotting NCSoft over the mess that was TR

I'll bet they are shivering in their boots for fear that the lost revenue will bankrupt the company

Hitting its stride?

wtf is that man smoking? It staggered out of beta, limped along with nothing more than vapourware and false promises for a year, then had life support pulled to let it die the ignoble death everyone bar the most rabid fanboiz predicted.

If Dick had paid attention to what was going on with the game that had his name splashed all over it, instead of having his head firmly jammed up his nethers in his race into space, then perhaps TR wouldn't have failed so epically. But no, mr. space tourist was too busy throwing pyjama parties and riding vomit comets to notice how badly TR was sucking.

Perhaps next time, when the beta testers tell the devs that the game they are working on needs more time, more content, and a lot more polish, they'll listen

yeah, right

Please try a different search query

What did I say, a year and a half ago, when this was pushed out the gate broken and unfinished?

I said it would never reach its 2nd birthday, and I was right

Have that all you Garriot fanboiz, perhaps next time the devs will actually listen to the people telling them their product needs for more loving, and less time listening to the fanboiz blowing warm fuzzy smoke up their nethers

I love being vindicated

TR failed because it was released too early, too empty, and cost too much on a regular basis

it simply wasn't worth the ongoing subscription cost

if they cut the monthly fees in half people would go back, though they'd only stay till they'd levelled all alts to 50 and had nothing else to do

I like the idea of releaseing the code to the community - and open source version of TR woul end up rocking

quelle surprise

perhaps if they had actually listened to people other thanthe rabid fanbois during beta and kept it in the oven for another 6 months (at least), it wouldn't have failed

gotta say this to all the fanbois crying into their pillows

I TOLD YOU SO!!!

God I hope not - that would be unutterably tragic

My serious suggestion - bring out the equivalent of Sony's station pass already.

If they had one of these I would subscribe and play T.R & COH. I could justify it as my kids would get to play multiple games.

As they dont I am not currently playing any NCSoft games.

THIS!!!

if they have announced that this will be available around christmas - expect it to arrive sometime in the third/fourth quarter 2009, and be incredibly watered down to insignifigance

I've seen too much empty vapour to believe this will happen in any timely manner

too much vapour, not enough content

pretty much sums it up in a nutshell

vapourware

I'll not believe a damned thing coming out of the dev team until it's actually live on the production servers

their track record on delivering promised additions/improvements/content has been dire

-=A=-

the trial is as short as it is because in 3 days you can get all the way up to Mires if you push it

after that, you find the holes and limitations in the game

What went wrong? That's easy - they listened to the fanbois, and only the fanbois. If they'd actually listened to the people who were vocally pointing out the game's shortcomings and acted on them, then TR would be an incredibly better game.

They didn't, it isn't, too bad

-=A=-

TR was rolled out 6 months too soon, too empty, and with the devs only listening to the rabid fanbois instead of the people telling hem it was far too early. Of the promises that came down the line this time last year? only a select few have been delivered, and most have ben dropped as they no longer have the dev staff to do anything but fix bugs and f*ck with classes that don't need the love.

It's truly sad that a game so flush with potential, turned into such a lame duck

I don't see it making it's second b'day tbh

Face it, TR has failed to even get close t othe shadow of its full potential, the devs are clueless, garriot a space-cowby, and the game a hollow shell full of vapour and broken promises.

To the fanbois still playing, good for you, enjoy it while you can

To the rest of us, C'mon Stargate!

was in beta, was in live, am in EU - have yet to see anything like that

perhaps they are only trolling for disenfranchised fanbois
