    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The problem is that the WOW-team is right now "the biggest in the history of wow". I guess they cant get any smaller if they want to have *any* chance at all to make enough content to not loose more subbers. Compare that to the Hearthstone/HotS-teams, how big are those? 10% the size of WOW-team...

    So for large ships, SW area and NE area are connected only through Terra. I wonder if that is by design?

    EQ Never

    There is a new interview over at MMORPG.com with Dave Georgeson, one question was about progress/state of EQ-Next. What will we get in the end, if they release at all?

    Having played EVE for years (and being in a lot of low/0.0 corps/alliances) i can tell you that if a ship exists that needs 50 people to fly effectively it will be done. As long as the ship is really good for what it was designed (really good at mining / very good to have in a battle) there will...

    EQ Never

    http://massivelyop.com/2015/10/12/da...ly-struggling/ Not much positive news from SOE/Daybreak this year, i wonder why they were bought at all. I dont see them making any money with their mediocre games. Better to just close shop and be done with it. So much time has passed, nobody cares for...

    Star Citizen "zones" are instances of up to 48-64 players right? So next to a busy planet you will have a LOT of instances, out in empty space only one for any given place. It will be interesting to see how they will do the "matchmaking", if it will be any good at all... I guess they havent a...

    I can already see the forum discussion: "I am totally against shortcuts because that would be 100% against the vision as handed down by Chris Roberts. You dont like it, you are not worthy enough to even play this"

    If they really need SQ42 to be a "commercial success" to finish the development of Star Citizen MMO then they are in deep trouble... I just went over to the pledge site an looked up the numbers. They have 988k backers, and every one of them has already paid for SQ42? Thats probably 75%+ of their...

    I didnt pay too much attention on this, but is the game after the new expansion still STAR WARS? All this "big baddies are invading and destroying everything and you are the last hero" - stuff sound like a cheap scifi-fanfic story... Sure, old content is still like it was before, but the new...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I guess they are almost beta-ready regarding the content itself (zones/dungeons/raids/quests/etc). Game-systems on the other hand will probably change quite a bit until release, especially class changes. I dont see them making large changes to the artifact system they have presented now. The...

    Blizz needed a good beating. They had *too much* success. They thought they could get away with everything. Lets see what they announce tomorrow. Even further casualization or are they trying to bring back at least a little bit of the "old WoW xpac feel".

    Camelot Unchained MMO

    Its not the programmer alone. The released pics and videos frome the alpha build seem really bare bones (essentially a test client for performance optimization only, no real finished classes, no fleshed out graphics, no gameplay systems at all beyond basic movement and combat). No way they could...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    If we do not see substantial info with beta announcement (including real gameplay videos) of EQ:N by then end of 2015, i dont think we will get a playable game at all. The minecraft/voxel-hype is over, nobody really cares for that stuff any more. Thy should have stayed with the forgelight...

    I know it will most likely not happen there, but Gamescom is just 2 weeks away, so maybe .... Edit: If i were Blizzard, i would drop the name and some artwork of the new expansion at gamescom. Add a funny description like "Prepare yourself, you will be tested like never before!". Make the...

    Same here. I hate "welfare epix". I hated it when my garrison followers got me purples for 2 clicks. Bah. Stopped playing shortly after that... Really good gear (=purple) should be very rare. No purples in garrisons. No purples from normal quests. Also make greens and blues drop less. Casual...

    So, early access started, no problem so far, game runs smooth and looks quite good. Fun game for casual play. Regarding classes, you start with 3 classes (Pala/Cryomancer/Lightbinder) and can unlock the other 10 classes in your ascension atlas. You can switch unlocked classes out of combat, so...

    A lot of people (like millions) start to treat WoW expansions as stand alone games it seems. Buy it, play 2-3 month, leave. Maybe sub again for one month to defeat the big boss from the final patch. Wait for expansion. Repeat. The die-hard/lazy fans wont leave whatever Blizz does. Blizz is ok...

    There simply has to be a point when their momentum isnt enough any more to stop the downward spiral. With patch 6.2 and no new expansion announced that point cant be far... But if you look at the success of Hearthstone/HoTS, they maybe dont care for WoW any more. Cancelling Titan and announcing...
