ArenaNet sold out, now GW is just a huge item grind.

Ah, but that billing model was a leap-of-faith risk from the git-go.

Eve has more subs than ever, and is still growing.

Making it more like WoW just wouldn't make it WoW. It'd gamble thier bigger-than-ever, and still growing subscriber-base  on a longshot bet that they could turn Eve - of all things - into a better WoW than WoW (has to be better, 'cause everyone who wants to play WoW isn't sitting around waiting for something like WoW. They have WoW).

So I still think you're safe.

theyre trying to determine the quality of mmorpgs, not determine which is more popular.

honestly im just worried ccp will cave-in and hunt profits instead of following thier dreams, ending up like so many other games on the market which are basically just clones of each other.




Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. Making a WoW clone means you have to compete with WoW. That's way more risky than staying the course, doing their own thing.

'Specially since that's working for them just fine.

My mmorpg Blog ;)



Nice blog.

Btw, You can make that a proper link in your sig (like my name down there) by changing your sig to something like this:

[URL=http://gameloading.blogspot.com/]My mmorpg Blog[/URL]

Without all the funky colors, I mean. Just did that to show the different pieces of it.

WoW: Better reviews then EVE

WoW: more awards then EVE
WoW: MUCH more players then EVE
WoW: Only western mmorpg that is doing good in asia. I'm sure you know the poorly performance of EVE china.

all point out that WoW is a better game then EVE, yet these so called "readers choice" awards keep pointing to EVE. in fact, even the most loyal EVE fans said they would be very surprised if EVE would be nominated for "best PVE". But EVE got nominated for best PVE, "Beating" titles that are fully BASED on PVE, such as Everquest 2 and Final Fantasy XI.

I will let you think about that one for a while.


There's no question WoW is more popular than Eve. As you point out, it's even pretty obvious which games deliver what, which ones don't, and so it's absurd to use a survey to determine the popularity of things already known. I mean, why even offer the obviously not choices, right?

But this also doesn't serve "better vs. worse" comparisons. Eve's old 4-hour tutorial, complicated complexity, and brutal PvP penalties would turn off most WoW fans. But neither can they be labeled as bad, when those are the very sorts of things that Eve fans like about their game. And why should they care if WoW players don't enjoy the things they like about Eve, anyway, eh?

Clearly, the survey isn't useful to determine popularity nor to measure quality. There must another purpose being served...
 

Maybe it's just a team vs. team game itself. Not WoW vs. Eve but WoW players vs Eve players (et al). :)

Jeff Freeman no longer is employed by SOE.

Though I am worried by what MMO he will infect next...


Don't fret. I have more experience now than I did when I started. I'm bound to have learned something over the years.

Lol, yep and not only that there is more to come... but this was predicted after the said producers called the NGE a "mistake" and Mr. Smedley wished he had not done it.

Freeman went into defensive mode after all the crap he has caught since the NGE... BUT of course people still think this is all ok....well some do.

So lets do a count, Raph, Freeman, soon to be more will be "let go" --- as if this is a suprise.

I feel sorry for these people based on the fact they had to actually support the NGE while employed by SOE -- you will now see some more things said like Raph did about it.

You can count on it.


Nah, no conspiracy afoot there.

I'm still not going to bash the NGE, though. That would be hypocritical of me on the one hand, unprofessional on the other. Plus just mean to former-coworkers and friends at SOE for no good reason.

I am sorry for how insensitive I was with the 'shenanigans' blogpost. Not that my saying sorry is going to take-back hurt-feelings that caused.

Various suggestions as to what I ought to do have popped up from time to time - like becoming a hobo, or burning in hell - but I'm not real fond of either of those options.

ZMOG!!! someone posted on the forums about casting a vote and we one! i call HAX!

and it was "Actually the READERS CHOICE awards. you know, mmorpg.com's readers choice awards,"

not EVE-online.com's awards(moved that last part because it makes no damn sense) yay eve won the readers choice award as opposed to winning it's own award! call the hounds!

or are you trying to say the readers choice awards won and not eve? do you even know at this point?

It's really not an uncommon thing for a developer to send its fans out to vote in a thing like this. It's free advertising for them, and generally whomever is hosting the poll wants those eyeballs checking out the site. Maybe some will stay.  I'm cynical enough to think that's the whole reason for doing it most of the time.

Eve's like most everything in so much as some people love it and some people don't.

It's unlike anything else in the manner it has started-slow and grown steadily over time. Everyone else shoots straight up, peaks, and glides back toward a sequel. That's a pretty ineat trick.

Regarding the original post in this thread, sometimes I get to feeling that WoW and Second Life are the only MMOs journalists can name, so they do, in the same sentence. Just  one to three times a week, and without a hint of realization that those things are unlike one another by a lot.
