      I used to love PvP, that was before the leet, foul mouthed fools that populate PvP these days ruined the experience for thousands of people such as myself.

       

      Call PvE players carebears all you like, but for the most part we are the most mature of the two.


      I agree.

      I also enjoy PVP, but the mentality of the "typical" hardcore pvp player these days leaves a lot to be desired. Their bad attitute, immature actions and rude behavior makes it not an enjoyable experience.

      Of course everyone is excited for all the new MMO's coming out (myself included) but I know that everyone will still play shadowbane, because it truly is one of the greatest, most innovative MMO's ever made.

      And I know im not the only one out there who thinks the old school graphics, and unique MMO gameplay is much better then most MMO's these days.

      Shadowbane wont be a ghost town, you'll see :P


      Too late.

      It died years ago, and is only around now because it's free to play.

      Greatest game of all time? Not hardly.

      Do you enjoy it? Yes, probably. But the fact that people find it enjoyable, doesn't make it the greatest game of all time. Hardcore pvpers will always continue to play virtually anything, crappy or not, that has ffa pvp and corpse looting. It will always attract gamers who enjoy that, and that's fine. I say if you enjoy that style of play, then go for it and have a good time.

      But again. That's doesn't qualify it as the greatest game of all time. That's just silly.

      Just avoid the game

      Problem solved :)


      It would be nice to post alternatives instead of just hate. Alternatives as in games already released or soon to be released. Games that have months or years to be released are not an option for people looking to play an MMO now.

      What you have to understand is that SAM123 is a Darkfall fanboi, and is only here to troll, nothing more. For those of you that don't follow the Darkfall forums, you wouldn't have known that.

      Head over to the Darkfall forums, and you can read his words of wisdom in all their glory.

      Sam makes a living out of bashing AOC on every forum and site imaginable. And keep this in mind. he has NEVER played a minute of AOC. It's one thing to dislike a game that you've tried. It's another to endlessly bash a game you've NEVER even played.

      Tells you all you need to know about Sam123.

      what about another option:

      only if the devs decide to give us an opportunity to test this game like in a REAL open beta or trial periode. Their "open beta" (or however they like to call it) is not what i know how an open beta should work.

      this "open beta" is only available to fileplanet subscribers and also just for 50k people. besides the NDA are still active. for me its just another closed beta wih just some more people allowed to join. If Im not allowed to test a game, Im not buying it. I dont buy things if Im not aware of whats inside....

       

      Yes you do. You certainly have and will buy things in the future, you didn't have a chance to test, and some will be quite expensive.

      How much testing did you get to do with the new car you purchased? Maybe a 5 minute test drive? How about the home you live in? Did the seller let you live there to try it out?

      Silly examples, I know, but if you give it some thought you'll see that with most products you've purchased, you never really got to test before purchasing.

      Game companies want people to actually "test" and beta their product, not play for free.

      Anyway, I suggest you wait until AFTER a new game releases. Only then will you get enough info to help you decide.

      That's why open betas and trial periodes exist. It's not only to stress test the game server (in case of OB) but also a chance for me to test the game itself.

       

      Buying a car and having a 5 minute test drive would be more than i had testing aoc since there's no open beta at all...(except I'll pay, what i wont as i stated before). If'd buy a house the salesman would let me see the interior so I'd have seen in from inside *points at the highlighted sentence you quoted*

       and to quote you: "Anyway, I suggest you wait until AFTER a new game releases. Only then will you get enough info to help you decide."

      That's excatly what Im going to do, but so far there's no " real open beta" and i havent seen any trial periode offer from funcom. so if it stays like that i wont buy it. thats all i said in my first post and if you want to keep on arguing with me you should make a better case of it my friend....

      I don't disagree with you, and I used the "silly" examples to "emphasize" a point.

      But come on... We all play MMO's here. Very few of us are rookies. There's NO guarantees for anyone purchasing a video game, that he or she will find the game to be a mirror of their specific desires.

      I pre-ordered AOC. I have never played it, tested it nor was I interested in the PVP weekend. I've read up enough on the game to, at least, make a decision that it would suit my tastes. I've been wrong before. Thought the same way about POTBS. Played that title for about 3 weeks and didn't care for it. Like I said, no guarantees.

      Point is. If you're an experienced gamer, you will get a good "feel" for a title before you actually get a chance to play it. Trust your instincts, or wait until a free trial period opens up.

      There are NO perfect MMO's. They don't exist, nor will they ever.
