Clash of Clans showed that wargames could be popular on mobile. Lords Mobile then made a big leap forward and showed that people could take wargames on mobile very seriously. Rise of Kingdoms was released about six months ago and is a solid iteration on Lords Mobile that, imo, is clearly...

1. Cap the number of actions each person can make per day. (Low time commitment.) 2. Competitive, strategic, slow-paced, team-oriented game. 3. Servers that end.

I mostly watch highlight videos and for a while it infuriated me that Saab never roleplayed or said anything interesting or funny. Now I find it hilarious. I look forward to the scenes where he interacts with great RPers and despite having so much material to work with he performs like the dud...

I've always felt the Wild West was a good setting for a permadeath MMO given that so much of the game would likely be economy based and it would be reasonable to set up wills and family trees to mitigate the pain of dying. Additionally, a Wild West game would naturally include town centers and...

Proxy laughing wildly when she does "hilarious" things like fall off a roof is the Twitch equivalent to "The Big Bang Theory" having to put a laugh track behind all their jokes to cover up the fact that so many of them are duds.

I don't know anything about the game outside of Cohh's two videos. All the questions and developer comments have been focused on the leveling process. No mention of endgame raiding at all. That is totally fine with me but I'm wondering if the modern MMO player is amenable to a long leveling...

Nope.

I meet new people through games all the time... The vast majority of people I know through gaming for 15+ years have moved on with their lives and aren't about to jump hardcore into a new niche MMO. If your clique does then, as a_skeleton_02 said earlier, your experience is the exception to the...

It's a nebulous connection, admittedly. I would argue that a streamer breaks RP every time they're in the middle of an in-game conversation and goes silent to give shoutouts to new subscribers or give OOC commentary on what's happening. As such, Proxy is not in a position to call someone out...

Though I will say this after watching the Proxy "fuck off" clip again. It is an unfair situation when streamers can break character whenever they want and make OOC comments to their audience, but non-streamers have to stay in character the whole time. Proxy broke character in game to call him...

I'm sure there is some truth in what that admin wrote but I can't possibly believe that the quality of RP on these servers would be better without streamers. Having an audience is where the incentive to do quality RP comes from (for most people). If I owned the server I would remove that admin...

I found a good old-timey clip from geeFamous, from three months ago. A very good police chase starts around 30:00: The game done changed, yo. They were putting bullets into police vehicles back in the day and running away with impunity. It made sense back then because the cops rolled DEEP...

It's an easy but frustrating diagnosis. I know from experience that I will always settle for MOBAs or other short-term games when the other option is a long-term game based mostly on grinding that isn't very rewarding and offers a much worse combat experience. That doesn't mean the idea of...

I agree with you. Timmac/Proxy/Waffles are all pretty boring compared to a number of less popular streamers. They have picked boring characters. Then again, I don't understand Twitch viewership's decisions most of the time. Why is JoshOG one of the most popular CS:GO streamers? Why is summit one...

If the game's supporters are admitting that it's an MMO-Lite then that validates uniqueuser's case that it's not a meaningful sandbox, doesn't it? Is a shallow, grindy sandbox worth playing? I watched an Albion stream on Twitch for two minutes (and stayed at a Holiday Inn last night) and the...
