• • Hype-level, time to remove it?

    okay so i took a peek at the Most voted games at the frontpage and saw 2 games - Shadow of Legend and Godswar Online with high ratings, i took a look at the hyping there.. needless to say many ppl already saw the false hyping at Shadow of Legend but also at Godswar Online when u look at the last 10 ppl with comments (excluding me) they all have created accounts since 12 march 2008 and have a post count of 0, 1 or hell maybe even a staggering 2 posts at these boards.

    i would suggest to remove hyping, not completely, but just block it at certain games (if this is possible) where companies/fanboys create high hypes to attract some players, its just sad and unwanted

    I have seen what you are saying, but I don't think you can block hyping on certain games becasue then you get into a judgement call which might hurt the innocent. Let say a game is coming out and someone posts that every one who is looking forward to that game should come to MMORPG, create a login and hype it. Is there really anything wrong with that?

    What MMORPG should do is raise how many post you have before you can hype and also look a little closer for people that create multiple logins. Hell in order to hype or review you must have a rating of 100, I think it is 100,  and you get your rating up just by being logged into the site so it isn't hard to get to where you can leave a hype.

• • Why do people want MMOs to fail or close?

  • So is the reason people don't just dislike a game but hate and want it to fail is because of the frustration over the poor state of the industry? How will a game failing make the situation better? Instead won't a game failing  put it into the heads of devs "better not do what they did, just make a copy of WoW to be safe"?

• • Why do people want MMOs to fail or close?

  • I have been reading a number of threads on this site and I am amazed by the number of people that posted that not only will they not play game 'X', they want to see game 'X' fail, the servers closed and the devs run out of town on a rail. Why have people who don't like a game taken it to the next level? Why do they want to see the game removed from the world?

    I can understand why SWG and UO vets are disgruntled, the game changed into something very different and all the time and effort you put into it was shot to hell.

    But what about other games? Some newer games have had abysmal launches, and I can see why people would be reluctant to return to them. I can also understand why these people would have nothing nice to say about a game they paid for that did not follow thru on the hype. But what is behind the desire to have it totally shut down even though others may like playing it? You played a game for a few months maybe a year, it didn't live of to your expectations so now you want it closed down?

    I just don't understand.
