• • Regarding vehicles....

  • I remember running in a group of 20 to the Tusken Fort from Mos Espa....Congo line fashion.  Was one of the best times I had.

    There's something to be said for the introduction of vehicles (and the vehicle bug that followed - certainly f'd up the major cities) and how it removed that frontier feeling.  That being said, I didn't start to miss the one hour trek to the Tusken Fort.

    Interesting to make some comparrisons:

     

     

    SOE, 136 edits

    Blizzard 41 edits: http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/name2ip.php?orgname=blizzard&location=

    NCsoft Zero edits: http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/name2ip.php?orgname=NCsoft&location=

    CCP 30 edits: http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/name2ip.php?orgname=Ccp%20Games%20Hq

    Mythic 16 edits: http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/name2ip.php?orgname=Mythic%20Entertainment

     

    Interesting reading, spot the insecure mmo developer.

     

    Awesome summary man - I think this makes a few great points.

     

    SOE -  a company that doesn't really have a noteworthy hit (any longer) in the MMO industry makes 136 edits. 

    Blizzard - a company that has the pinnacle MMO hit to the tune of 10 million players, only making 41 edits.  I think its fair to say with their playerbase, one would expect a bit more fooling around with public articles about their company/game.   Had they had 136 edits, I'd say all is well, but its clearly not.

    I'm not really a Wiki person, but I hope those who are will keep the fight going.

    I don't believe it. If this were the end they'd at least still allow us to buy year subscriptions

    Que? 

    Jedi is what killed the game - period.  Had SOE not made Jedi an option, the game would be more alive than it currently is, but I doubt it would be a "success," especially when compared to WoW. 

    
    I know you feel deeply about this but try and express yourself calmly.

     

    Jedi did not kill the game - certainly not for me and my guild. In fact, it was one of the cleverest mechanisms to keep not only myself but I believe many others too involved and enjoying the game.

    What killed the game was not the jedi - but people screaming 'Jedi are killing the game' on the forums because they didn't have the time or the inclination to grind or manage a Jedi themselves. People like you perhaps?

    Heh, the inevitable "its your fault, not SOE's" post.  You were late!

    Look, its my personal opinion that Jedi ruined the game.  Continuity aside, it just ruins the game to have such a large percentage of your playerbase want to be one class.  It just doesn't work in MMO land.  That is my opinion (and others I'm guessing), which I believe to be fact. 

    Even though I happily admit to being one of the people who voiced my dissent on the boards about the Holocron path SOE chose, I had never, ever, wanted to have a Jedi for myself.  Ever.  My fun was in crafting, and being one of the better Armorsmiths on my server.  That, I enjoyed.  Swinging a lightsaber much like an unhealthy population of most servers did not seem like fun.

    Sorry about the multiple posts, just catching up here on an interesting topic.
