• • Will the fate of TCoS be the same as Age of Conan?

  • Plenty of people will be playing this in the West.Once it is released I think the interest in it will increase very rapidly, for a lot of people it is still under the radar. I'll check it out.

• • Huxley Koren beta experience

  • I admit it...I have not read your blog entry yet! I will check it out later today. For all I know you might have arrived at a different conclusion, but perhaps not?I just wanted to share what I experienced.

     

    I've played the Korean beta and made some videos. It's not at all like EQ2 or WOW. Erase all of that thinking from your mind. It's like Unreal Tournament 3 with some PvE type mobs thrown in. There is PvP too, obviously. It is a graphically beautiful game (beta) with a trace of potential. Overall, I think it is safe to say that it is a fairly mediocre game with pleasing eye candy.

    PvP combat = bunny hopping a ton. You just jump or crouch. Don't expect to use any kind of realistic tactics, it is more of an arcade shooter than a tactical shooter. Not that anyone expected it to be SWAT 5 but it's very simplistic in that regard.

    I am one of those people who have been tracking this for several years. I bet that  99% of those who are looking forward to this game are going to find something that is completely different than what they've built up in their mind.

    I was not all worked up over it, I just didn't think it would be Unreal Tournament 3 badly disguised as an MMO.

• • Beta sweepstakes... 100 or 500??

  • "From Sept 10, 2008 to Sept 19, 2008 @ 9PM EST we will be accepting entries into a random drawing where we will give away 500 beta access slots for Stargate Worlds!"

    2 inches away on same page...

    "We will be selecting all 100 winning tickets and contacting each one by e-mail as well as MMORPG.COM private mail. "

    Definitely odd. I like MMORPG and CME but it's just weird to have 100 and then 500 in the same breath.

    Tabula Rasa is going to be a dud.  Good concept but just didn't "wow" me when I was in the beta.  Not to mention the tutorial is rather weak and that may have turned off some new players.

    Though their other games are still doing quite well.  Lineage 2 is one the biggest games in asia, City of Heroes/Villains still has a strong playerbase (slightly swelled sub numbers this year), Dungeon Runners and Exsteel are free-to-play games.   Hard to say how Guild Wars is doing since there aren't any sub numbers to go by, since there aren't and sub fees.  The last expansion pack sold well I read so I'll assume that game is doing fine too.

    So TR is a dud, it happens.  No company can be perfect with every game they make.  Heck, Blizzard scrapped Starcraft Ghost and the adventure game Warcraft Lord of the Clans too.

     

    I really disliked TR in the beta. I went back a few months ago and it was great. I had a good time. It doesn't have the staying power , imo, to warrant months of play, but I feel strongly that it is one of the best games on the market. If you haven't played since beta, you haven't played it. Jump in, give it a few days, and you'll find yourself getting pulled in. In a good way. And this is coming from someone who loathed it !
