    Haha!

    Clever marketing imo, getting those bored with the current content or just waiting for the new stuff to try a whole new game its clever.

    CO is not my kinda thing but good luck  to them =)

     This is a good idea.. I'm also writing a cooking guide for WoW players, so,  I may dethrone WoW with cooking...  I'm sure I'd have a better chance then champions doing it.

    Keep an eye out for WoW's 3.4 patch - with a complete superhero sidegame added.

    champions sucks.... i hated it. poorly optimized.. lag city... graphics arent really THAT great... combat isnt any faster than any other MMO... community is full of elitist pricks....

    seriously, champions will never gain more than 500K subs. it just wont happen. the game is very "unpopular" right now after the disaster that was the launch.

    500k? I'd be surpised if it got and maintained 150k subs.

    Please people, the guide was on Massively.com and targets the WoW players as its audience.

     

    CO targets WoW to de-throne.  hehe, funny. 

     

    While I cannot say that would not be CO's intention, I can say it will be a cold day in hell before CO trumps WoW.

    yeah... and surreal, cmon theres no way CO will rival with WoW. I like the game (CO) but I cant see it having much of a future in its current self, its simply too small and well.. lets just say I think it need a lot of work, with that said Im still planning on buying it once I get around to do so, its combat system is by far superior to every other mmo in regards to its fast pace, its active blocking and well.. I could go on but I couldnt give a damn

    i wouldnt be suprised if the game shuts down before it is a year old.... the launch was a total disaster, and the game just isnt fun.

    Another hater with a piss-poor prediction.  If you think this launch was a "total disaster" then you weren't around for the launches of AO, AoC, WoW (only cause the servers would die if a feather fell on them) just to name a few.  CO is not even close to the top 10 worst MMORPG launches.  Stop with the sensationalism and get with reality.

    Take your own advice. It wasn't feathers falling on WoW's servers.

    Whatever.  I was there during WoW's launch.  Blizz offered the option of world PvP and when people actually tried to have large faction vs. faction battles around Taren Mills and such, the servers would crash... and crash hard.  I have never had that problem with CO's server.  Never crashed... never been booted... nothing.  The server is very stable.  Also, the game is playable and I have not had one major issue yet.  Not like, oh... SWG and WoW's launches.

    The fact remains that Dameaus stating that "the launch was a total disaster" is blatantly false.  It's nothing but another hater-spouting BS.

    Right. What he said was false, but that does not excuse you doing the same thing. You fight lies with the truth, not more lies.

    I just made my own MMO and I pronounce its about to be the best MMO in this history of MMO's past and future!!!!

     

    As far as CO goes:

    Launch: Not that bad, relatively speaking.

    Game client: Relatively polished.

    Impact on the MMO world: Not that much over the long term.

     

  • LethalBurstLethalBurst Member UncommonPosts: 367

    Just an FYI... there are a LOT of people who have only played WoW who are now trying out different MMOs. CO is one of them.
