Well, I am mildly interested in hearing the progress on Jumpgate Evolution. The rest of that list? Meh... Warhammer 40K really looks like WoW reskinned in lore with rifles for wizards and chainsaw swords for warriors...
Your own site wants to know more about The Secret World, the only MMO I am dying to hear more info about.
You guys posted a "Let's hear your questions, dear readers..." request back in *APRIL* and have been stone silent since then... How about some follow through, people? You know, the hallmark of performance?

Originally posted by Raventree Every forum that talks about MMOs is full of complaints about everything being a WoW clone and there being no innovation. Well, we, as the overall gaming community are giving huge amounts of money to games like WoW and ignoring many other titles, so what conclusion should developers come to when making a new game? As much as I want something new and different just like everyone else, if I were making a new game I would come to the same conclusion.
Tru dat. WoW itself is a clone, yet blizzard have managed to make more appealing to wide audience. And it wasnt franchise that made it successful (though it helped a lot) - just take a look at warhammer online. Warhammer universe is very popular, yet it was a failure. So being a clone of a successful game doesnt guarantee it to become a successful. And as an average player, why would I pay to play some WoW clone, when I can pay to play WoW, a polished, "balanced" game with a huge world and a huge playerbase.
So where lies the borders of innovativeness, risk-free and revolution? Have to think more about this T_T
OH NOES! they said "we" in the article... "We" just have to include me! They lied!!!!!!
Chill out people...

You see people, there's a whole globe of men somewhere out there, and they all have opinions. Even more than that, most of the time those opinions differ.
And then theres miscommunication, trolls, turds...

Thank you mister obvious, now with this crucial information you have related we can all hopefully settle down have a deep breath, stop the venting event and start doing something pleasant and/or productive.
Hmm, I almost forgot it but "Elder Scrolls MMO", this one has been in the development oven some 6 years last I heard, and there was an accidental "cat out of the bag" a few months ago, which has since been squashed.
Not very creative, much more of an attempt of an Eve Clone. There are some difference, but not enough difference to warrant significant attention.
Actually, that game will not remotely be an EVE clone. EVE involves a living player-driven economy and massive player-driven combat in a huge universe.
Jumpgate Evolution will now apparently be a pew-pew combat game much like Black Prophecy. The big difference between those two now seems to be use of instancing.
For those wondering why games like tera, GW2 ect.. are not on the list, its because there is already information about these games out there.Sure we maybe want more, but I think he is trying to imply games with very little information out there.
Like so many said tho , I am very curious about World of Darkness, and it also be nice to see what Blizzards new MMO is about.
Guild Wars 2, World of Darkness, Warhammer 40k (of course) and uhm... GUILD WARS 2!

The entire staff is made of up of a bunch of unknowns, at least to me.
