    thanks for the reply btw.  My only real complaint with FF is the wait for a group.  As for LOTR the only other question is what this game will be after warhammer comes out.  I know they might be two totally different games...

     

    LotRO's audiance is quite a bit different from WAR and AoC.  PvP centric games are probably not going to put a huge dent in LotRO's subscribers.

    
     

    This is true. I don't think anyone goes to LOTRO for the pvp.

    It won't be affected.

    
     

    After AOC came out I didn't see much change in population at all. If anything I think it may have gone up. Warhammer will be the same thing with LOTRO. A few will leave but those will be replaced by people who return from trying WAR and will probably pick up some extras that were thinking about LOTRO.

    AOC and WAR are completely different styles from LOTRO.

    Their faith is sadly misplaced... Funcom is like the goverment, as long as they keep getting money, they have no real incentive to "do whats right." Take away their power (ie money), and they will suddenly wake up and smell the roses. "Oh I guess the players really werent happy with the slop we produced..."

     

    I wish we could take back mmos to game stores in the US. Ive got 4 Id love to have my money back from. >.>

    
     

    You can take back video games in the U.S. The stores just try to make it a real pain in the ass but if you get the BBB involved they sure change their tune.

    Hell, I even got a refund from a movie theatre because I thought a movie sucked and sat 3/4 of the way through it.

    We are pretty well safeguarded in the states if you get the proper people involved. Like I said though most stores and businesses try to make it a big hassle.

    GameStop/EB wont carry more than 5 copies of anything not WoW, and even then its getting hard to see copies of any PC games in the stores seeing as they have them limited to this tiny ass rack in the darkest corner of the shop.

    Target still has a few copies though, and I am even suprised Walmart would carry the game (though the 2 really close to me dont carry any PC games save for Deer Hunter...) due to the whole Mature rating.

    Its all pretty much the way the games are distributed. They will have different expectations for different regions, sometimes they figure wrong so areas get shorted while others have a glut.

    
     

    Haha, no shit about EB/Gamestop. I stopped even going into those 2 shitholes long ago. You wanna drop my PC games I'll just stop coming in jerkoffs.

• • Anyone care to make retention predictions?

  • I voted 25% because they have sold 1 million copies so far, last I heard. That would still give them 250,000 worldwide which sure ain't bad.

     

    Hope my math is right.
