The day I see some proof instead of a bunch of half-arsed conspiracy ideas,
I'll care.

Same goes for you bigfoot!

WoW brought "MMORPG" into the common household,
that type of revolution (Because 7million members is a revolution..)
is set in stone.

It's VERY unlikely that ANY game will EVER reach that amount.
Ever and ever, ofcourse it very much could, but still,
it'll be hard, and you sure shouldn't count on it.

As far as for EQ2,
forget it, not gonna happen

How this game to be?
Easy to learn, low reqs and THE biggest gaming name.
Sure sure "But EA makes the sports"

One word: Asia.

Diablo, Starcraft & Warcraft made Blizzard immortal, and WoW is their Excalibur,
uniting the Diablo players, Starcraft players and Warcraft players under one banner,
a 15dollar-a-month-banner.

I can't really see any game top that,
not in a long time...

It's, after all, more than 10 years of gathering the crowd..

Writer, miner, samesame....

And people animals.. Alligators, cats.. bats, all the same..

edit: ad OP, try a druid or a hunter, funfun.

Actually, I have an option for you:
EvE Online.

The most mature community there is..
and best of all, you just don't get away with a bad attitude.

A bit elitistic people but I recon from your post that you won't really have a problem with that.

It's infested with.. Classes!

Some people just have no clue...

MMOs cost..

ALOT.
Devs,
office(s)
Support (In many languages, and enough of them)
GMs
Servers, repairs and techies

To take the first layer,
those things alone cost more money than most mortals see in a lifetime, per MONTH.

To be perfectly honest, I must say that it is sad that SOE has chosen to not listen and just go their own way.
Heck I actually played SWG before JTL and that was great fun...

Makes one wonder why people still play it when they don't like it...

As soon as they solve pathing...
you can't jump off stairs durnit..

But yes, the PR campaign has given Ryzom a hefty boost, also the Second Life wannabe take on Ryzom might generate some interesting addicts

You sure got him there.

Great success?
Suppose Stalins regime was too.. according to SOME

Thhey took the sandbox aay

NOPE!

Mythic is still independent and according to them, EA has NO say whatsoever in the case of WAR,
so don't worry

Why it goes under DOS I dunno,
must be faulty information

Anarchy Online is a Sci-fi MMO in third person with lots and lots of humor and big guns.
A buckload of classes and soon enough mechs and stuff..
Check it out!

If it hadn't been for the low low low level cap I just might have played it.

But.. No... It's just not funny as us old skool RPGers are used to spending +6months on ONE char...

Yeah...
So could every other company in the world,
but hey, not everyone likes fantasy so, I guess they just don't care for your idea.

I believe it's down to hundreds now...
And most people are in Ground Zero which is a high level place..
Sadly not very many there either tho... But those who are there are nice and the community is sweet.

Umm, crafting is easy once you get the hang of what the heck you're doing, as in; when you get something worth crafting..
As with everything else in AA it's a matter of an hour or less.
No real need for it though to be honest.

First of all, no, not much added to be honest,
you still just dungeoncrawl with a few others.
Lot's of fun w eaons tho, but then again there always were..

Umm, I haven't SEEN any PvP so by assumption there shouldn't be any, no.

Annd, yes, it's the regular fee,
however, as for the X360 you don't have to pay for an Xbox Gold membership in order to play it.
Works just as well with the frre Silver membership.

Indeed, Blizzard are good at giving out extra Betas to people...

For reasons unknown, however we speculate that it is because you should bring a friend to play with..

Are you one of those who got more than one?
I'll gladly take it from you right away, feel free to message me and we'll work something out

I find the biggest issue with AA to be the gaming in itself..
Just to give an example, my left hand LOCKED after two hours of playing.
That just about sums up how much you actually move your hands.
Also, my right mouse-button feels abused..

On top of that the un-carish cars and awkward bikes doesn't help the case.

But yeah, I'll check back when I see the 'feel-patch' too,
it'll most likely be worth it by then

Because we all know that all other companies have to deal with a community as big as WoW..

Oh, wait..

Neocron 1, hands down.
