There may be communities, but one is gone. When the game is based around group based combat and you level like that 80% of the time a community builds around the leveling and reputations for players are very important. I have never seen that matter in an auto-match grouping experience game with most of your leveling done solo. You are just not playing with people enough to build any sort of community around that.. Not sure how that can be disputed.
Yea, I know plenty of people who will try pantheon. You won't??
The new EQ TLP servers show that there is in fact a demographic for this type game, whether it's large enough to sustain it remains to be seen......if it ever sees the light of day.
Multiplayer games have communities? Brilliant analysis.
Maybe you should stop looking at the leveling process of games these days. They are essentially tutorials anyway. Granted many of the games out there have shitty end games too, but for the people who like the end game, communities exist.
I'm just telling you that those specific types of communities exist out there. You just don't happen to like those games. There are a ton of survival games popping up every month with that type of experience.
Ok sure, I don't have any experience with that so...maybe??
I have no intention of being a part of Brad's little nut licker cult. I have a little thing called self restraint which gives me the super power of not buying something that looks about as appetizing as watching Two girls, one cup.
Who ever said that a shortened leveling experience was desired, the journey used to be the game.. now it is not.. that is part of the freakin problem. That is where RIFT failed for me, it was too short and they were cheap on content.
Im sure you're just so busy...busy posting here about how you have no time.. I don't really give a fuck about your gaming preference, why do you care so much about mine. Serious question?
You're saving us from ourselves. Got it. We have a nerd knight here!
If someone else will build a group based MMO, we would be on that thread. They don't exist anymore .... and yes, this title is the only one with a shred of hope to have such a gameplay. So, where else do we go ? This is not brad love or hate, its really the only hope at this point other than Vanguard EMU
I'd still acknowledge them for at least turning the project around. I'll support any game that tries to bring back my preferred play style. I don't define that as delusional, it's just my preference as a gamer.
I still think that a high fantasy survival game would be a great idea. Like Rust/DayZ in a Medieval setting, and instead of zombies, you have high fantasy creatures.
