    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    @Elidroth perhaps you can give us some insight into how EQ handled the no-drop transfer hack, and what the policy on banning RMTers / hackers was?

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    I made around -7k on EQ. I was serverwide 1st bard for a while in a strong guild. I bought a top 10 serverwide SK and SHM from guildmates. These set me back about 1800 each. I boxed the trio for hundreds of hours and kept them max AA for many expansions, their gear got updated through guild...

    MTG: Arena

    Don't worry. Based on their previous games it is likely they will overbalance the F2P income at some point, and once the majority of players is sitting on a pile of gold, they'll cancel the game and launch MTGA: 2020

    MTG: Arena

    I guess me skipping on a game I've played for 20 years, not due to the core product but due to the marketing plan behind it summarizes the gaming industry pretty well. They know what game concepts work, they just don't find themselves generating enough revenue with a normal sales model.

    MTG: Arena

    No I meant magic 2015 and the other games in that series. MTGO has been around a long time, its always been pretty clunky with poor gfx. The magic and planeswalker series were visually far more attractive and were about standard. They all got canned. They have been making pretty games that...

    MTG: Arena

    Not convinced here, their last iteration of the game was solid, had all of standard, and ended up getting canned with a 2 week advance notice.

    MTG: Arena

    Is there any reason to believe this game won't be closed down at a random point in the future, like all the previous iterations?

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    Just turn your first dude into a marathon runner, by running across the map without any gear / burden. After he gets etheopian, throw a rock at some enemies and kite them to the nearest city, you are now rich.

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    With all its flaws, the original EQ was a far superior experience then all the later iterations. 5, 10, 15, 20 years of "working" on it all detracted from what made the original a great game. Things like letting every class bind without assistance, letting every class get a form of...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    In GTA they had all kinds of vehicles to sell, RDR only has horses. The range of weapons is also far smaller, as is what they can do with property and clothing without going overboard. RDR just isn't as good a setting to monetize.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Please don't think that car is anywhere remotely near a GT3's performance.

    Fallout 76

    For sure! The people investing 1500$ in a star citizen ship will get quality also! Its not like the video games industry has ponzi schemes all over. So who is with me for early alpha access on pantheon?

    AAA retribution (beginning of the end?)

    I doubt the blizzard brand will be around in 2021. They've lost a ton of goodwill with fans across various franchises, their top franchises are stale at best, and they have generated some really bad PR .. its just not worth keeping a brand around when it takes Activision a few days to design a...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I've posted before I think they are buying a large part of their own ships. They put up a $1200 ship, 5000 available, and buy 4000 themselves, to trigger whales to buy the last remaining 1k available, and since it "sold out at record speed" it creates the environment for the next whaletrap...

    Amazing how many people get salty over what people post in the politics thread, compared to what others have "achieved" irl. Guess most don't mind people putting a burden on society as much as having their political views opposed. Mental illness isn't an issue either, as long as it involves...

    Just Cause 4

    Monday you posted you wouldn't get it, because bad game. Sunday you post about how game is bad. What actually moved you to purchasing it? Steam reviews are negative also. Your post about it made me look into it and not buy it by default, despite enjoying previous versions, so thanks for that.

    I'd like to see you make a thread about a good game I don't know about. The mere suggestion seems to have slighted you. Also, television is doomed bro. I'll be checking my postal pigeons for updates in the euro politics thread now.

    I've used steam since it was in beta, and while I still remember how bad it was back then, they have always performed well since they launched. Their servers don't go down, download speeds have always been great, the client is easy to use and of course the amount of games they offer is...
