    First off, age does not mean maturity. Only idiot would believe that.
    The majority of people who play that game are OLD HARDCORE DDO fans.
    They are between the ages of 27 and 55. They've been playing DnD back
    when it was just a board game. Notice that really old people and young
    people don't play the game much. That speaks volume of how crappy this
    game is doing because middle-age people don't make up the market. Young
    people do.

    And you have the worst comunity ever, WoW and GW

    Btw EVE players medium age is 29, and it is doing well.

    I dont like games for 10-16 croud

    That's only because EVE is too complicated for the general public. I found most people that play EVE, have post-secondary edu, or are long time certified professionals, or simply have a fettish for stats and complexity.

    Community for EVE is one of the best around, if they aren't pirates that is. ;)

    WoW
    and GW have a bad community because the GM have a hard time modding
    playing behavior because they have over a million players. Numbers,
    which DDO will never have. EvE is not up in the millions so they are
    easy to mod.



    The games weren't made for 10 to 16, they play mainly because WoW and
    GW are fun. DDO does not have a fun factor that's why most kids avoid
    this game other than that fact, they don't play DnD board game in real
    life. (Not to mention the gameplay is repetitive) I've said this
    before, but DnD is on the decline because no players can't get into the
    old game and DnD fans insist the dice roll and rules have to be put
    into the games.

    To be totally fair here maturity can be associated with age, most of the time, the others are exceptions to the rule.



    Also a DnD fan means they once actually met other people in person to play. While having played an MMO doesn't neccesarely mean the player has actual human contact (as many hardcore mmoers don't)

    MxO also has a fairly mature crowd, and that was the game with the heaviest RP I have seen.

    Isn't the MxO population pretty low. I mean the price of the online game dropped fast at my store. Small community are the maturist because the last thing a small community wants to do is tell new people to piss off. DDO found out the hardway, you can't act like a fanboy towards people without making people leave. That's exactly what happened when DDO first came out.

    MxO always had a mature crowd, I was surprised when I tried out the game, subscribed for 2 months only for the community. RL caught up with me after the summer brake, so I had no time, but I were to choose a community to bring along to the next mmo I'd be willing to try out.



    MxO is also the first game that sony did any good to ...

    In all honesty, I've never played MxO. And EQ1 also had a mature community in the beginning as did Ultimate Online, but that has long since changed.



    Also EQ1 I think was sony first game they made and did good with before the Matrix Online.

    They did good, I agree, but as it grew they gave in, and ruined a few stuff ...



    SWG was done good as well... but time spent talking about that wreck, is time wasted :(
  • CaptainRPGCaptainRPG Member Posts: 794
    Everytime, I think of SWG, I laugh to myself as I remember hearing about the subscribers/whiners being sent into space. LOL!
  • random11random11 Member UncommonPosts: 765
    You know, I dare say that game was ahead of it's time at some point. Now all I can say is : kill it, and perhaps make a new SW mmo, but set in distant times for flexibility... this shall never happen however ...
