    • How many of you are sick of Orcs n Elves style mmos?

      Fantasy is a timeless genre and will always be popular.  While I am open to other settings, I see nothign wrong with Orcs and Elves in a fantasy environment.

      I might be tired of poorly done fantasy MMO's, but I think much of the gamer base is eager for a quality new fantasy MMO, because that's an unfilled niche at the moment.


       

      I would not call the fantasy MMO genre and niche :P. However the MMO market as an whole is looking for an quality new MMO, I doubt that poeple would then care if you looked like and elf, human or an robot.

      I was wondering how many feel the way I do and are sick and tired of seeing more fantasy based mmo's in development. Why can't devs develope other game styles like maybe ,Old West,A space mmo thats not Star Wars or Star Trek? They made a console game Mass Effect and its a damn good game with decent lore to boot. I think Game developers need to start being a little more creative the Orcs n Elves are being driven into the ground.


       

      Well Ithe problem is so many game with orcs and elves suck. Why would it matter that the skin of an AI-computer looks like an futeristic robot or an orc. Infact WoW could be transformed into an futeristic game by just changing the skins of the building/charaters (This would be a major operation, but it would be posible :P)

      Also if you look into it the majority of the mainstream MMO in development do not contain orcs and elves. Face of Mankind: Rebirt, Fallen Earth, Jumpgate, Huxley, Champions Online, and a few more. Also there are plenty game out now with do not have orcs and elves. Game like Pirates of the Burning Sea, Planetside, Wurm Online, Roma Victor, Second Life (You could make them though if you really want to :P), Star Wars Galaxies, Tubula Rasa, WWIIOnline, Eve Online.

      If I am not mistaken there is an western MMO (not sure if it is in the making or out already) and one non-SW and ST space MMO in the making and one is out already. It is however treu that the fantasy theme dominated the market, there is however plenty of choices to play something else.

      It is also imported to note that the MMO genre is maturing right now. It simply needs a couple of bold poeple willing to let it grow and make a couple of good MMO's. Devs enough willing to take this journey, investers however are not. Just look what happen to Wish, died becouse of the money. The game was less buggy in beta then most game released nowadays and it would have been an hit if it had finished.
