Comments
I'll be playing. I don't expect to be playing a WoW killer though, I mean really.
Never give up and never surrender!
Depends on when they launch - too close to AoC and they will have trouble. They keep pushing back launch so who knows. The vids look nice, but PE has no MMO experience. SOE may gobble them up if they flub launch a buggy product.

I'll be playing at launch and I'll be fine if it only gets like 500k subs. I could care less what happens with WoW because IMO WoW is very mediorce and nothing special.
A MMORPG doesn't have to be a "WoW" killer to be successful - it merely has to be profitable and self-sustaining.
I think GnH will do fairly well, assuming they have a successful Open Beta phase of testing. I'd say 100-200k subs in the beginning.
500k subs is REALLY good for a MMO these days outside of WoW, I should hope so.
LOL any game will be fine with 500k subs. Sadly G&H is never going to have that many subs or anything close to it. Persistant are total amateurs and have no idea what they are doing. BETA is progressing so slowly if this game comes out this year it will be heavily bugged. I really don't see this one surviving at all, sorry.

ok, do you have any facts to back up that info? Also, who is "Persistant"? I thought the company was called Perpetual Entertainment.
They will be lucky if they get 25k people to play this game. If they charge a monthly fee it will be less than 25k. Maybe SOE's station access can keep this alive. Who knows.

Sorry but you are very misinformed,Beta is going very well and the whisper is open beta will begin near the end of the month with a realese date around the 25th of september.Also I guess "Persistant"are amatuers though I cant say as I have never heard of them.
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

Between 10k-40k after release.. 20k 6 months out... And 10k within 1 1/2 years. Dead after 3.
Seriously who even talks about this game other then on this forums and the game forums.. Haven't heard 1 rave review on any game site or from people that attended the past 2 E3's...
Not to mention it was suppose to be due out months ago. I guess they want to push there release back around the same time that AOC or WAR release... Thats a good idea right there boy!!
If it was me, I would be hiring new people, having people work overtime out the arse, etc just to get this game out within the next month. You know take advantage of the lack of anything worthwhile out right now... Instead of waiting for AOC, TR, WAR, etc to come out and make people say "Whats a GOD's and HERO's?"...

theres 2 I found without any problems,Though these are previews as it is hard for them to write a "rave review"for a game that isnt out yet.

Considering both WAR and AoC are PvP games and Gods and Heroes is a PvE game (which means they aren't in direct competition with each other) I don't think GnH will have any problem succeeding. You sorely underestimate the allure of PvE games. World of Warcraft is a PvE raiding game primarily and it has 9 million subscribers. And you're gonna sit here and tell me that all those PvE fans are going to ignore GnH? I doubt it. I think most PvE players, including active WoW subscribers, are sick to death of WoW and want something else.
If the game turns out good it won't need any promotion except word of mouth from fans. If it turns out bad put in the stockpile of trash MMOs.

ROFLMFAO!
Good retort, daylight01! When trolling, it is wise to avoid attempting to devour one's foot upon mistaking it for defenseless prey!
Okay rather thank make assumptions about the game based off the lint you found in your belly-button after last night's crack bender..why don't you get a beta key today and try the stress test this weekend?

they want to kick the crud out of their servers on Saturday...so have at it.
If you still hate it, it's probably because you've convinced yourself your gonna hate it anyway and nothing we/they say will change it so just cut the whining and find something else to obsess about.

P.E. total amateurs=definite failure...Square Enix's first MMO was FFXI, it was a success, Blizzards first mmo was WoW, it was a success. This game may indeed end up being a failure, but next time you put down a game, you might want to watch how you word it.
I am hopefully going to play at launch. From the info out it looks different enough and interesting to me. I really hope they pull off some things. As per a WoW killer, GnH looks very diff from WoW, so how/why would it kill it? I turffed WoW after I hit 57 back when the cap was 60. It just was not my type of game at the end game. For some I am sure its great fun, for me it seemed a bit like working at Initech and having to come in on my off hours. I really think the questing in GnH looks fun, the God stuff looks fun and innovative like the MP is in LOTRO. I really hope to get a chance to play it sometime soon.
And of course some part of me wants to play because I want to see how they handle this game because STO is coming, I want to see how good their chops are!
This is an extremely useful thread - I've already found 3 people to Block so I never have to hear from them again (hint: people who would likely name their firstborn "IhateSOE"). Don't forget your tinfoil hats whenever you post about how games you know nothing about will suck and fail!
GnH is a smaller title, so launch will be critical. If it launches to good reviews and word-of-mouth, it should do well. If it has initial problems, we'll probably never hear from it again.
GnH has the makings of a really good PvE game. The beta is going somewhat slowly, but the devs seem to want it to be ready and polished by release. Just because PE are a new dev team doesn't mean squat, all devs were new at one time. What matters is listening to the community and setting the goal of releasing a game with polished mechanics, few bugs and stability.
After you have a solid system in place you need to make sure the gameplay is fun, and so far, the game is fun. I may be biased because I love the whole Roman angle (I loved Rome - Total War). The PE devs and community managers communicate quite a lot, and I get the feel from them that they are ready to deliver, not to mention playing the game itself.
I will be subscribing absolutely, and finally leaving EQ2 having found a good PvE game that can match up.
On topic: I see this game holding steady at at least 100K subscribers.
On a side note: SOE_NO_THANX, whats the deal? I see deleted posts by this person in a bunch od SoE games. Geez, get over it!
Don't hate...appreciate!
500k subs is REALLY good for a MMO these days outside of WoW, I should hope so.
LoL,Yes, you could count the amount of western MMOs that actually got close to 500k one hand. If it breaks 150k, it will be going excellent by western market standards.
