• • De-Mystifying WOW, and why it wont be de-throned nonetheless

    - WOW was so bug-free and complete

    Thats not true. It is today very stable. But so are most other MMOs that still run. Even Vanguard is very stable now, even if the polish there seems to be not finished yet; for example, they currently fight against hitching.

    - WOW is easy and carebearish

    Thats true. OK I'm not in position to have it experienced myself, but I heard it from every being that has played WoW.

    Of course PvP is harder. But thats because you fight against humans. Thats not unique to WoW. And WoW raids arent better than raids in other games, for all I know. Quite on the contrary.

    - WOW is for kids only

    Its not for kids only - but it CAN BE PLAYED BY KIDS. Something thats much harder in other games.

    - WOW is playable by EVERY computer

    Thats true.

    - WOW has wiped out all non-fun elements

    Ok now thats very subjective. Again, I havent played the game myself, but from what I've heard, WoW contains faction grinds like any other MMO out there, and it contains an endless raiding endgame.

    - WOW offers something for all ranges of difficulty

    Nope. Definitely not. Thats a major complaint about the game.

    - WOW always has a new, higher toy to fight for

    Errm... I guess so. Because all MMOs have that - no ?

    But in fact, WOW doesnt deliver that much new - I heard they still have no housing, for example. So its all down to new dungeons and stuff again.

    - The WOW world is easy to get into

    Maybe. More importantly, it is beginner friendly, for all I heard about it.

     

    
    This is brilliant.  You've never played the game, yet you have an opinion about it, because of what you heard.

     

    Guess what - I heard you have 10 billion dollars and you're paying everyone who responds to this post 500k, so where's my check?

    Josh,

    Read this thread that I posted not long ago - I asked a similar question and got about 4 pages of pretty good response.

    Pharaoh and Cleopatra are GREAT games.  I love 'em.  Although, right now I'm playing Company of Heroes.

  • Personally, I like the idea of a wild west MMO.  If you're going to develop something, do something NEW.  Don't just re-hash the same old stuff that everyone has done or is doing.  This is one of the main reasons that I'm really looking forward to The Agency.

• • The next BIG MMO is....

  • There are a lot of good things going on over at CME with Stargate Worlds - the game is showing a lot of potential.  I have my fingers crossed.
