Housing. The one in SWG is the nest. the best

A lot of people like playing as a healer. It will loose a good bunch of playerbase.

Yeah 16,000 more box sales.

Classes.

Lineage 2 has Orcs as playable race but they dont look like the typical orc.

I'm not a trek fan but the more I look at it, the more I like the game.

Housing. Ultima style, in the world, wherever you want it to be.

I'm not interested in WoW but I want to say grats on a job nicely done, it's a lot of information WoW fans will be gratefull for.

I wanna see the picture of the girl without censorship.

A Darkfall fan admits that they are using twitter with a big circle of friends to make sure that Darkfall gets tons of clicks every day. If even 30% of the Darkfall players clicked it once per day they would probably get enough to get the n1 spot each day.

MMORPG.com should do something, or that list means nothing, perhaps they should just remove it if they can't.

I don't see the problem, anyone can do the same with any other game. It's an hype-meter, it's there to be used.

From the game list here in this site:

Point for cryptic, thats hearing your fanbase.

Nice article I did enjoy it a lot, thanks.

The photo related to the article is really nasty, you know, the one in the home page. Can you please consider changing it?, thanks!!.

I tried 90% of those...

Sorry but the PVP system in WOW for example is head and shoulders above the competition. Why ?

Because the control and responsiveness of your avatars in WOW is FAR better and more fluid than in any other mmorpg I played.

I hate a game where you can't control your avatar in a fluid and responsive way. Most of the OFF line adventure games suck even in this aspect of a game.

And ... that's the BASIC element of PvP isn't it: ---- > NOT fighting your controls, but fighting the other person.

I am not surprised WOW is the ONLY mmorpg with a representation on E sports Broadcast channel. ESPN.

But this extreme example of polish shines in every way the game is made. Itemisation, class designs, quest designs, the extreme polish of Raid content.

You are being VERY naieve if you think you can compete with 5% of the development resources.

That's why intelligent people play WOW. I only PAY for the best developped resources.

-----

I still want to play the usual amateurish competition now and then (like the upcoming ST), but I don't expect ANYTHING worthwile that could compete with a Blizzard product.

I am too intelligent to expect otherwise. 

 

What if players dislike a fantasy setting? Raids? Set classes? 

What if we like FFA pvp with item loss? What about territory control?

Wow offers none of that.

Yet I'm not intelligent because I choose not to play a certain video game? A video game that offers everything but the features I enjoy during my free time?

 

 

 

 

I am not saying you are not intelligent when you don't play WOW or a Fantasy based game.
 

I am saying that IF you are playing WOW, you are intelligent enough to understand what's making the difference between a game in which Blizzard invested over 200 million dollars over the last 5 years....

and a game that tries to do something with 1-5% of that amount.

Be it itemisation, high level content, smooth and responsive gameplay in various forms of  PVE/PVE, options.

I pay a subscription for the game that offers me a 200 million dollar investment worth of gameplay.

IF you think you can find that in games with low cost budgets, you simply lack intelligence.

THAT is my answer to the OP: to WOW or not to WOW....

In my opinion, I pay a subscription to play a game I enjoy, no matter how many money the developer invested on it. But is up to you. I had a lot of fun playing games that with your reasoning are out of the question, but go on, it's up to you.

 After 6 months of looking for good mmo's to play after leaving world of warcraft. Im starting to get the wow itch again so why should i go back when i have applied for both STO and TOR beta's. To start paying again for wow then if i like sto or tor drop it to play one of them full time seems like a waste to me.

If you want to play a game dont join the betas. You will be leveling your character and it will be wiped, then you will already know a lot of the game and you will spoil yourself throught the content. My recomendation, if you want to play wow, go play wow.

Aventurine really needs to think ahead more.  They should have known about this free character transfers when NA-1 was launched.  If this information was provided when the NA server came out, it would have prevented some nerd rage, including mine, and may have kept some of their customers.  Of course, if they did not know the details of the character transfers, they should have stated just that.  "We are still working out the details and will provide more information as soon as we know ourselves."  How is that bad for business?  Keeping their customers in the dark affects these mmo's more negatively than doing them any good. 
 

Free character transfers were announced in it's moment, when Na-1 was released.

What's the difference in playing a skinny girl if you are actually fat, and playing a girl if you are a guy?

There's a certain segment of the MMORPG players, I tend to think they are really young, that get somehow offended if players do not pick a character that is the same as their real life gender.

I think it's because those younger players want to flirt in the game with the opposite gender, and it embarasses them to find out they are flirting with someone that is their same gender.

But does that mean you have to play a character that actually looks like you, or just the same gender?

What if you play a hot skinny female, but you are really a very fat and not very attractive female? Does that NOT offend these same players to flirt with a fat girl, and I'm talking like 300 lbs plus, that has a cute skinny avatar?

Or, what about if you are say, over 60? Does it not offend these players to flirt with what looks like a 16 year old girl avatar, but really the woman behind the keyboard is old enough to be your Grandma and has no teeth?

Or, lets' go the other way. You are flirting with waht looks like  a hot 21 year old woman, but the girl behind the keyboard turns out to be 12, making you a pedophile. That's ok, you don't mind being a pedophile, but god forbid you flirt with the same sex because that would be so wrong? I'd rather you flirted with the same sex than that you were a pedophile, That seems MUCH MUCH worse to me, but you don't see threads where people go, YOU MUST PLAY A CHARACTER YOUR REAL AGE! only that you must play your real sex.

I mean, if you insist that guys have to play guys, and girls have to play girls, then why do these other scenarios not bother you? You really don't mind flirting with 12 year olds as long as they are the opposite sex? That is truly disgusting.

 And if you say, YES I MIND THAT! then to be the same, we'd need 12 year old looking characters for the 12 year olds to play, just like you want the men to play male characters and the women to play female characters.

From long time ago I really dont care about what people think about me when I play female characters. I like playing a female character because they look hot. It's nice to look at their back side while playing. When people ask I say Im a guy and I really dont care what people think, I like what I do, it's enought.

In my opinion people telling you that this is wrong is really the people that have a problem in their own minds. But Im noone to tell them this, its their own choice to feel that way too.

Another WoW ruined everything.

You know those old mmorpgs where you had to level for years and spend days to organize your raids? These games still exist. Final Fantasy XI and Lineage 2, except now you probably wrote them off as grindfests because you aren't blinded by nostalgia.

Thats it. Couldnt say it better.

It was a good mmorpg, you could solo it all the way up.
