Game List Contents

loramil1

Like perhaps many new and occassional posters, I arrived here looking for a new game, having gotten a bit bored with my current one. I really like the idea of having a convenient game list, that includes genre and ratings. There are, however, 2 fields I'd really like to see. One is an indication of price, and whether there's any kind of free trial period, or other way to try before one buys.

The other is a bit harder to explain - it's an indication of style, but of a particular type. Some games have highly specialized characters, and most character types need to group with other players; it's also not possible to experience the whole game without creating several characters. (World of Warcraft is a well-known example of this type.) In others, a single character can potentially learn everything, given a suficiently obsessed player, and it's possible to experience the whole game with a single character. These games may have significant interaction among players, and co-operation may be very important, but a solo adventuring strategy is normal. (Runescape is an example of this type.)

Actually, while I'm wishing for the moon, there's a third thing I always check when evaluating games I might want to play - the balance between PvP and PvE. I realize some games support both styles, sometimes even on different servers, so it might be hard to come up with a one-word summary - but I'd still like to see some indication.

Actually, we do read these forums. I read them on a semi-daily basis. When I can, I even respond to them.

Everything that people suggest is taken into consideration, sometimes they great ideas that are possible to implement right away. For example, people came in here a while back asking for a Stargate Worlds Forum, we obliged very quickly after.

Some ideas and suggestions, I will admit, we decide for one reason or another are not something that we are going to do, for a number of reasons.

A good deal of them though, go into our pool of resources for when we are ready to make large-scale changes. These will be brought in as time and effort allow.

There are changes coming up in the next little while here at MMORPG.com. Keep your eyes out, and don't lose faith. Our administrators and Mods are very diligent about reading and listening to our members.
