• • Stop it,with the WoW will die,WoW killer etc.

  • Most pilots in EVE are alt accounts doing the tedious mining / courier work or just sitting docked while skilling up, inflating the concurrent user numbers as well.  No wonder people think EVE is more mature, with all of those alt accounts being so silent.  Must seem like a library.

    But when you meet someone who is actually alive, do things really appear more mature? Jita isn't really a very mature, certainly no better than Barrens chat.  Some alliances are idiots, a lot of the Merc corps for example.  Don't even get me started on Goons... and have you EVE players even read the profiles of pirates in EVE?  

    So EVE has more than it's share of "kiddies" for you pretentious types to pretend to feel superior over, without having to resort to flaming the millions playing WoW.  In space, noone can hear Chuck Norris jokes, because everyones on an alt account.

    That being said, EVE online has very nice and friendly help channels.  You can find nice and friendly people in WoW though, you just need to join a decent guild - like EVE, you need a decent corp to really experience that game.

    I find EVE to be no more mature than WoW, and I play both.  People are people.  Spaceships and lasers are not more mature than swords and sorcery.

  • Imagine if Blizzard included beer and strippers with their expansion pack - real beer, and real strippers.  Haters would still post something like:

    *Yawn*, beer.  I've drunken it before, it's nothing new.   And strippers?  I can watch porn on the internet anyway.   

    No matter what Blizzard do, no matter how good the new expansion pack, there is no pleasing these people.  They are in a perpetual state of self-destructive vicious circle of awaiting new MMORPG releases only to have them vomit into their faces before falling into the gutter of MMORPG street, later to be run over by Horde riding Kodo mounts screaming at the top of the lungs "oh my god this is so much fun, I hear they're including beer and stripper in the next x-pack".

    To sum up: people will always whine, especially when theres an opportunity to bitch about WoW.

    This is just my opinion, don't hate me for it.  I don't have a crystal ball or anything.  Maybe one of these games will take the MMORPG scene by storm.  Who cares!  I've got some pedestrians to run over and bitches to have warm coffee with.  You lot in the meantime, have the following waiting for you:

    Achievement Unlocked:  Disillusioned fan-boy - Waited 2 years for an MMORPG only to be disappointed.

    Muahaha :P  I'm only being half-serious here.

    While I agree I cant hate you for yor opinion,I have to ask you have been waiting for a MMo for 2 years but wont give a MMo a chance this close to launch?

     

    I am sorry but dont you think the reason you have been waiting 2 years is that you havent given a game a chance or indeed MMo game's arent for you?

    I haven't been waiting 2 years for an MMORPG.  Well, I did get kinda hyped up about Vanguard, perhaps I'm suffering from some post-Vanguard-stress disorder, but I'm kinda happy with MMOs as they are now.  I don't understand why so many people are desperately hoping that the genre is suddenly going to change dramatically.  If you don't enjoy MMORPGs, why bother wishing the next one will be one you like.  Perhaps the game you originally liked hasn't been killed by it's evil developers, perhaps you're just tired of the genre and need to move on?

    I'm not talking to you, specifically, rather everyone who thinks MMORPGs are in a state of ruin atm and are hoping the next game will be the holy grail.  You can't have the holy grail, cos it's sitting on my mantlepiece right now, granting me eternal life, and you don't know where I live.

  • EQ is a game where it can often feel like work just to progress.  This makes the rewards seemingly more pleasant at the end of it.  They do come, but most players nowadays give up too easily.  You can blame WoW if you want, but even when EQ was new people were complaining about the grind.  It's just how the game is.
