What is the title going to be? Pandering Online?

Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
Oh look, another hype page.
I'm even too skeptical to click 'I agree'.
You just know this game is going to focus so hard on being different, that they just end up being the same as all the other failed games that claimed to be different. To quote Lisa Simpson about tattoos : ' How rebellious of you, in a conformist way.'
I can already picture the 'Go back to WoW, hater' comments.
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 22, 2014 —J. Todd Coleman (creative director ofShadowbane, Wizard101 and Pirate101) and Gordon Walton (executive producer ofUltima Online, Star Wars: Galaxies, Star Wars: the Old Republic) join forces to create new independent online game studio ArtCraft Entertainment, Inc.

If I wanted to throw money at a game based on name recognition, I already have savior #164 I could throw my money at. Pantheon.
But I prefer to stick to game developers that don't try to get me frothing like a rabid dog with pandering buzzphrases and lets the game speak for itself.
Huh?
Can't hear you.
Candy Crush MMO.
Finally.
Those 2 guys are legit.
Anyone who played Shadowbane will be excited about this project. Those who didn't play SB in its heyday won't understand what they're missing anyway.
I know, right?!
No.
I loved Shadowbane, but still going to hate on the pandering buzz phrases. I have no trust in devs that do that.
dont care how legit you are when you sound like a car salesman or politician
It will be good as long as they don't kickstarter .
If they kick , it mean they can't keep what they say right now .
Philosophy of MMO Game Design
These are the Shadowbane masters - I cannot wait.
OP should totally make a list of each MMO savior, through #165. Rank 'em and such. You would get all kinds of...mockery, derision, and hatred on these lovely forums. You know, to boost the ego a bit.
Also, I signed up. Why the hell not, right?
Would not surprise me in the least,he sure seemed like he wanted to toss in the MOBA phrase.Look at W101 it went for an untapped market,these guys i somehow think it is not a "game they want to play" but a market share they feel is a good one to cash in on.
I personally think once you start advertising your game,you should give us something to go on ,they seemed extremely vague but as i said seemed set on mentioning MOBA for some reason,like seriously who starts talking about their game then goes into the MOBA talk,i have never seen that before.
It would also make sense to be a cheap concept that is easy to fund,a browser based game that can also play on the Tablets and Iphones.Now that i think about it,it will 99% be a market share idea way more so than the game "they want to play".
You know why,i am quite sure the game we really want to play a is a full 3d interactive concept where we make the players move with peripherals and not just keyboards and mice.Instead we are going to see a ton more MOBA spin offs and browser /iphones games because it fits the financial agenda of most developers.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Mission in life: Vanquish all MMORPG.com trolls - especially TESO, WOW and GW2 trolls.
Looks like here's one company who has been reading these forums and compiled a shortlist of buzzwords we like to hear. Unfortunately buzzwords make for a bad MMO, but I'm anxious to see what's actually coming out of this.
Also I believe the company is wrong about one thing in particular, I do not play to crush anything or anyone, I just want an enjoyable experience.
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
Would almost be worth it to see how much hate I would get.
I didn't sign up purely out of spite, yes I am petty like that.
I tend to not click on them as well. OP should put a little bit more information in his post about why we should be interested in clicking on it.

LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.

Really? Smedly involved in this one too?
