Comparison?

Vyeth

I know.. F2P's are all "grindfests, with crappy UI's, graphics and a young demographic that ruin the community aspect, and cheaters/hackers/botters/goldsellers and all the other web convicts and inmates.."

But I could help but to read up on the RvR in this game and try to get some comparisons.. Good and bad points... Sorta like the Lineage 2 comparison (although some people say "There is no comparison, (insert favorite game here) is the best ever!")

F2P RvR?

That game is still in beta...why should we compare them?   Maybe they're fans of Mythic's work or ex Mythic employees or maybe they enjoyed DAoC or other games that had similiar RvR features.  No one's ever claimed RvR is 100 percent new and unique just that Mythic Pioneered it and made it what it is.  If there had never been DAoC we might not of seen Shadowbane or any other game that even remotely takes ideas from it.  

Welcome to reality.. Game developers play games..they see X Feature and like it...they build game around or with X Feature because they like X Feature so much. Welcome to game developer innovation 101.

Yes they have...

But that's besides the point.. Even though it is Open Beta, I am NOT talking about comparing cleanliness and polish.. I am talking about RvR..

I would like to change the subject like many of you will, but I would rather stick to the topic.. Yes, DAoC was a great RvR concept, but that is not the comparison we are making here..

4Story's RvR concept vs. Warhammers RvR concept.. Mythic pioneered the term, correct. But it leads me to say why is War not in the same vein as DAoC? But that's another discussion, so I digress..
