NFTs arent necessarily the future of gaming, just a current trend to try and make money.
Imo NFTs are the future of MMOs, people just cant see it yet. Imo real money trading in mmos should be allowed and NFTs is the perfect way for companies of those MMOs to get a % cut of those transactions...i cant wait to see first AAA mmo with NFT RMTrading.
Yes. We are so blind that we are really unable to see how they transform games into jobs and pretend everything is ok, it is for the players and not for their cut........... so they say............
It is just an awesome idea..... So, when you lose progress, you actually lose money which makes gamers a lot happier for sure.
Cannot wait.
Please shoot me first.
Calm down buddy take a breath, if you dont like something dont try to ruin it for others, who said you can lose any progress? ur just finding imaginary things to bitch about. Transform games into Jobs lol, even tho it is not allowed real money trading is being done right now in every single mmo you can imagine, just coz its not allowed doesnt mean its not happening, maybe think about what ur writing before posting it...
We all know these arguments and this rhetoric. You just don't get mine. Whatever, enjoy your NFTs..........
To go back on topic, there is EVE and Albion. Unfortunately for me, the space thing is not for me, and I don't like albion's DA even if I have to admit they do have interesting game mechanics.........
BDO could have been it, but they gutted this part a long time ago..

Wise men talk because they have something to say, fools talk because they have to say something.
Want me to explain why ur the latter? let me know.
I just don't think sandbox games are very wanted within the MMO genre. It's a niche genre and survival games kind of cover a lot of what people that would be interested want to have in a game so most people I know that would even attempt to play a modern sandbox game are already playing something like Ark, Rust, or Minecraft. Every time someone attempts a sandbox game it either goes belly up quick, or ends up like Wurm or Eve with such a high wall to climb for entry that you just can't get new players.
I thought Mortal Online 2 would be okay for a while but it's so undercooked that unless it still exists in a couple years (which knowing Henrik it might) it wont ever have a chance due to lack of content / things to do.
Alright Mr "you know nothing". I'm sure most of us have seen your talking points many times before. It's just boring to hear the same lines every time the subject comes up.

My talking points lol, sorry im not into political ideologies i use my own brain rather then spout someone elses ideas, and the reason why you proved the point of that saying, is that you had no real reason to reply the conversation you had no part of, yet you did and so like i said you proved that you are the latter of the saying.

So your afraid to repute my beliefs? why so scared of what i might say? just ask...you know the magic word.
While a bit long and takes quite a while to get through this video sums up everything wrong about crypto/ NFTs.
Again you prove my point, instead of using ur own brain about crypto you listen to someone on the web, why do you do that? coz you know nothing about crypto or crypto coding. A knife can be used for both slicing a bread and killing a person, crypto coding can indeed be used for wrong doings like rug pulls and such, what i am talking about is using it for companies to have easy percentage of all transactions of their game (if the company chooses to allow real money trading). And since you dont know anything about it, let me educate you, you can set up and change your own Crypto in some many diferent ways it basicly has limitless in both potencial and aplication, all you have to do is think of new ways to add to it, YOU KNOW ADD FEW LINES OF CODE...

Everyone has to listen to someone on the internet when it comes to crypto/ NFTS, the trick is to distinguish which ones are probably lying to you.

Also, number one crypto bro tactic is calling everyone else ignorant and only "they" know the truth.....

Where did i tell anyone to do anything? Its actually the oposite, im telling em to stop telling people not to want or like something just coz they dont like it.
When I look around at the players playing multiplayer online games in 2022 I'm not sure I want anything whatsoever to do with player-driven anything.
For me it begs the question, has the audience changed, or have I changed?
Things were very different when I started playing games like UO, and I'd like to believe that the audience has changed, back then they were newer concepts, people didn't quite know what they were, or what they could be. These days, people seem to know everything, and that makes the perception very different.
Of course who knows, maybe we were the same then, and I'm wearing rose colored glasses, think that it was a different era, with players who approached things differently than today.

Oh, then what was that about trying to make a point?
Hiding behind opinions now seems hardly feasible after you took it upon yourself to address other's opinions. What is your purpose in sharing your opinion and making any "point", if not to be presenting an argument?
Nice job jumping assumptions there too. Must be quite skilled painting boogeymen at this point.

I think the audience expanded and where once we had a self-selected crowd of RPG hobbyists playing it's now everyone.
There have always been cheaters, exploiters and scammers in MMOs but it just seems to me like the percentages are much higher now. I mean... the New World developers deserve a lot of criticism for releasing a game that was so easily exploitable but it took a massive number of players to use the many exploits ruining territory control and the economy.
It drove vast quantities of honest players away when they saw they could not play the game seriously and compete against the cheaters.

2) Took it upon myself to adress other's opinions where? (again didnt quote me) 3) My opinion was allways about a game in the future (that will allow RMT with use of Crypto coding)
4) I have no time to dig out what u ment by "argument you have seen so many times" if you want to present clear rebutal of what i said maybe u should dig it out since u mentioned it? (again didnt quote it)
5) Memory is a good thing if you are correct, i would suggest you forget this one, since you keep forgeting to quote me, keep forgeting to make sense, keep forgeting to present one good argument in any sense of this topic and discusion.

That's a really good point.
When it was hobbyists, I suspect I had more in common with most players, these days I feel like I have less in common with the population, and that's okay, just makes it harder for me to relate, or I simply don't enjoy some items that they do, and vice versa.
I enjoyed NW for 600+ hours, but it's definitely not something I see myself ever going to back to, and that's odd, because other MMO's I've taken long vacations from, but I've gone back many times. I laugh that it took NW for me to really appreciate ESO. The combat, finally going back to the roots, putting aside my preconceived notion that a class had a role, rather than looking at skills fill roles took 4-5 trips back? I had a single 50 from ESO launch, got as far as 22 CP (and since you played, you realize how long that takes, lol, 20 minutes? If that?) Since going back, I've got 11 50's, with a a few more coming, and just cruised past 700 CP. So why did it take a classless game for me to go back to my roots and make me appreciate ESO?
To the point though, I think the cheaters were a big thing, seeing games become E-Sports another, and the rise of the hard core raiding guilds. (I know they existed in EQ, but I feel like we saw more and more of them.) Different attitudes, different elitism, and the hobbyist felt like they were second fiddle.
Either or....maybe that's all a part of the sandbox generally going away, harder to monetize, and the loss/abandonment of come casual ideals.

The combat, finally going back to the roots, putting aside my preconceived notion that a class had a role, rather than looking at skills fill roles took 4-5 trips back? I had a single 50 from ESO launch, got as far as 22 CP (and since you played, you realize how long that takes, lol, 20 minutes? If that?) Since going back, I've got 11 50's, with a a few more coming, and just cruised past 700 CP. So why did it take a classless game for me to go back to my roots and make me appreciate ESO?
To the point though, I think the cheaters were a big thing, seeing games become E-Sports another, and the rise of the hard core raiding guilds. (I know they existed in EQ, but I feel like we saw more and more of them.) Different attitudes, different elitism, and the hobbyist felt like they were second fiddle.
Either or....maybe that's all a part of the sandbox generally going away, harder to monetize, and the loss/abandonment of come casual ideals.
