No, it's just under three months away.

Which is why EQ1 has ten million subscribers and WoW has somewhere less than 1% of that amount, right? No, wait, cross that out and reverse it. Hint: You areobjectivelywrong and also arguing your position from asubjectivebasis (i.e. you are claiming your opinion as fact while reality...

Yeah, because making a genre more widely accessible to all is a sure-fire route to oblivion while making it esoteric and obscure is a guaranteed success. Do you evenreadwhat you're typing?

Hurrah, only seven more months of nostalgic morons before they can start frothing at the mouth and ranting about how SOE 'betrayed' them for making EQN actually playable by non-autists.

This coming generation is going to be interesting to watch, anyway.Relativelycommon hardware plus ridiculous one-user DRM means that if developers can't stop going bankrupt then it's not the consoles or the consumers that are the problem.

Whedon will probably get epVIII

It's Blizzard, remember? Atbestit'll launch six months after the film premi?res.

If I were a Star Trek captain, my first orders would be "Fuck being a sitting duck, we're moving to the battle bridge"

If you were ever wondering aboutthat themeused in trailers...

SOE already realised the magmower change was retarded and rolled it back. Also: 4gb patch? Really?

AAA games are destroying the (console) gaming industry. Look at the amount of money one costs to develop, and then look at the typical income if you'renotmaking CODBLOPS 46: Army Recruitment Edition.

No, it had endless "Go kill 500 of these mobs so you can level up and sell the crap that drops to buy gear from a farmer" non-quests.

How many peopleactuallylost in EQ, though? I'm not talking "Whoops, I didn't get a res better grind XP for a while"-style temporary setbacks by the way; I'm talking about the whole "You could LOSE YOUR CORPSE AND ALL YOUR GEAR" thing that some people love to hype up.

The last time a game studio fames for its cgi cutscenes made an animated film it a) was terrible and b) bankrupted the studio. Meanwhile live-action fantasy has never been more popular or profitable. In short, you're dumb.

You spelt "One-Punch Man" (and/or "Assassination Classroom") wrong, fyi.

There we go.

When the crime rates dropped, you mean?

Badly-thought-out game design does not a sandbox make. EQ didn't have 'emergent game play elements' (read: exploits and bugs) because of some grand desire to let the players run free and wild, it had them because nobody at Verant had any design plans more complex than "Copy SojournerMUD, put it...

You forgot WAR. And AoC. And Vanguard. And so on.

Rated BGs give the titles now. It's yet another carrot to get people to play them because Blizzard doesn't want to acknowledge that normal BGs are run by two types of people - people running around in a zerg, and people ganking those who got left behind by the zerg - who have no interest...

No shit EA aren't going to go around bragging about how Bioware conned them into pissing nearly quarter of a billion fucking dollars away on SWTOR. Are you stupid or something? Or what?

AoE looting, and praise Jesus for them stealing it.

Well, maybe if you had a national health service....

If I were describing a $200,000,000 Star Wars MMO that went free-to-play within a year due to subscription collapse, 'successful' wouldn'texactlybe the word I'd use.

That was good.

Prediction: Rep gain is a turn-in from a boss drop, the turn-in item is supplied by the LFR loot-roller.

Psst. We've had this argument before in this thread. The tl;dr version is that SOE is making the game to make money so they're going to aim it at the widest market possible so you lose, good day sir.

Is it an oud? OUD

Blizzardislooking for a new lead dev for D3....

Nobody gives a shit except sperglords, fyi

Remind me to quote this right back at you the next time you start cheerleading shitty_MMO_that_isn't_WoW_82374823478923

Best version of Moonlight Sonata:

Look at how wrong and stupid you are.

Don't make me post the "USA still uses retarded measurements" image macro.

So, judging from the reporting of it I've seen over here, "OBUMMERS GONNA GET YER GUNZ" turned out to beyet morepantswetting and crying wolf from the usual suspects then?

Because if they were to make a niche game as designed by this thread, the budget - by necessity - would betiny, and therefore so would the dev team. Now how would you like to spend $15/m on a game which has worse graphics, poorer balance and less content than the next half-dozen free-to-play MMOs?

The even weirder thing is...it's not 1999 any more!. Sony may have been happy to spend X tens of millions back then and get a game which bounced along between 300K~500K in a marketplace withessentiallyno competition (UO was too PvP-happy, AC was too weird and looked like rancid donkey scrotum)...
