| Biography | Been working in the gaming industry as a game designer since 1990. Started with pen & paper, then moved to board games, to end up on video gaming since the early 2000. I''ve worked with the biggest name and company in the business, and decided to become an independant developper in 2006. A few projects should come to fruition before 2010. Namely, on the XBLA but also, on the PC. My focus is on persistent world and multiplayer games only, as i''m not inspired at all to work on single player games. |

WoW is by no means the best MMORPG out there. Just has the most subs.
But really it doesn't make sense, it's got 10 mill subs, millions more than any other game, and it's ranked at some 20th or so?
Cause its a commercial game. Britney Spears surely has more fallowers, but is her music really better then that of "The Doors" or I dunno "Metallica"?
Bad example though because they both sells more then Britney world wide :P
I prefer to compare WoW to junk food such as McDonald, vs another game that makes you use your brain called "whatever fine cuisine restaurant". They are both popular for the same reasons: They are accessible. (One for the price, the other for the incredibly dumb down gameplay)
Now if you would log on a gastronomy website, it's pretty obvious that McDonald wouldn't be in the top 1000 best restaurant in the world for obvious reasons. Like it or not, people on MMORPG.com has more gaming culture then your average WoW numb nuts.
Pretty simple now to understand why WoW as 10 millions subscriber. It must be the same percentile of people eating McDo 3 times a week or more.
Yeah: Most people are cancelling their account to the mini-game called Age of Conan.

I dont see why it matters to people if this company is dristributing th game or not, so what?!
Its someone, shit i can make better looking CD's on my computer than alot of people, you dont need a huge name like SoE behind your game for it to go well, in fact judging soe's track record i think this is a smart move,

Shit, I can also build myself an ice shanty and call myself a global fisherman, I import and export mackerel but in reality I sit in my damn ice shanty twiddling my thumbs.
Without a named publisher that has been in the gaming industry they are taking a huge risk. When the game releases in a poor ass state it will be even worst and well in the end then the publisher didn't even matter. If they have a good product and a bad publisher that's like throwing your money down a shit hole that already has too much shit in it.
They is selfpublishing in Europe, didnt you know that? And on a smooth well polished release with all features in like Tasos told us some months ago it will be jackpot for Aventurine. The money will come pouring in. =)
I heard its rumours about Ubisoft or Codemasters as publishers in North America, big enough for you? =)
Nope, nope, nope it's not. Tasos would also give you a burger tell you it was a whopper and when you bit in it, it was filled with shit. He'd also lay a deuce in your urinal because he is such a douchebag. No money is rolling into Aventurine, the small as crew that actually believes this shit is going to shine a big frickin light in the sky and solve the riddle of life, oh and point out where the fountain of youth is while jacking you off smoothly, is a very small number.
It's ok though Aragon, Tasos still loves you and always will. He thinks of you when he plays his ipod filled with Katy Perry and hums to his favorite song "I kissed a girl".
lol... I gotta say it's the most polite and respectful way i could adress to anyone still believing in that uber piece of worthless vaporware trash called Darkfall.
Thank you for finding the words, but most importantly: For having the guts to write them out loud in a forum where you get banned for saying "poop".
There, i said it. Which means i probably won't be able to post under this account for a few weeks ![]()
I for one think that this is an awesome and very refreshing idea. I had wish the Final Fantasy MMO would had been like that. (Like it was supposed to be you know... Like the 10 FF before it)
More convenient for a PvE environment for sure, but i really like the idea and will definitely try it providing it's not a bug fest.
Wonder how the crafting system will pan out in such a game though. For me, good crafting and player base economy are a must.
Exellent point Pappy.
As an independant developper myself who has worked for the big guys in this industry for the past 15 years, i can tell you right now that i'm not trying to hit that moving target anymore: I just produce the ideas i truly believe into, and hopefully it will inspire the players to play it.
Trying to hit the moving target like you say, is basically like a dog running after it's tails. When christopher colombus decided that earth wasn't flat, he had a vision and never gave up until he realized it. I do the same with my games, because i want to be a leading force, not a dog running after my tail.
Besides: If you wait for the gaming community to tell you where to go, you will live eternally on a flat world...

How do you feel about advertising inside games?
