Howdy, Stranger!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

I cancelled my preorder today.

1. Ryzom is back up for free at the moment.

2. Fallout 3 comes out 3 weeks after WAR is released.

3. Darkfall beta will SUPPOSEDLY begin in October.

4. The Chronicles of Spellborn and Runes of Magic seem to be right around the corner.

 

I hope the people that play it do enjoy it, but after the preview weekend (along with the above-mentioned reasons) this game just wasn't for me.  Questing seemed too linear to the point where after I finished quests in a tier I felt like I would never ever return to that tier for anything (just like a 'level' or 'stage' in some console game).  Also, the end-game seems like it will be lacking (not in content, but in mechanics).  The point of the game is to beat the other realm by going through a series of pvp tiers, but after you win it just resets.  If your side loses, you haven't really lost anything, and if your side wins, maybe you got a couple cool items.  Anyway, the point of this post, I guess, is that for people who were on the fence about this game, there are other options on the horizon.

  • Cancelling anything for Darkfall Beta that has not actually started is a little on the silly side.

     

    Doing so for Ryzom seems like a perfectly fine idea although I did not really like the game.

    Good Luck and I hope you enjoy the upcoming games your waiting on!

    I also have my doubts on the end game content as you have to capture a city to see the jewel in this games crown and with Mark predicting a few months before that happens, I hope it will be well worth the wait.

    On another note, I had a blast with the open weekend and from being in beta the game only continues to get better. Also by the time people reach end-game, who knows what will be added in content.

    Have FUN

    I canceled mine as well.  I just couldn't convince myself to follow through after I've been enjoying my time much much more in FFXI and UO.  Nothing bad I can say about WAR - it has it strong points, it has its weak points just like any other MMO out there.

    Cancelled mine too.

    Why? you ask, because NDA is not lifted on this game and my experiences from beta were deleted because its against NDA, guess mythic don't like the truth being told.

    Good luck and have fun whichever game you are planning to play.

    Also, thank you for letting us know that you have cancelled your pre-order, this was a very important information for us who are hyped about Warhammer at the moment. We have to re-consider playing this game because you won't be there.

    I can understand Runes of Magic as that game is going to rock but Chronicles of Spellborn?  I was in closed beta for about a year....game sucks bad guys...It will be a huge disappoint to many.

     Im so happy that people cancel. Dont have to meet them ingame this way! happy!

    Single player games.. I dont really like them over an online game, where you can be social.

    I don't think linear is the right term.  But certainly it is tiered.  No seems of feels about it.  Mythic has made it quite plain the game is teired.

     

    The reason you were on the fence, is because you want some kind of "sandbox" game.  As evidenced by you liking Ryzom.

     

    I dunno I don't think you were really on the fence.  Seems like wishful thinking to me.  Mythic has made it pretty clear they are not making a world simulation game like Eve or Ryzom.

     

    I don't think WAR was ever a real option for you.

    Thank-god you people are cancelling, I want to be in a realm with fans, not naysayers. :)

    Oh man, thanks for that informative post about you cancelling! I'll be sure to find the biggest forum and post the next time I find a girl with a yeast infection, because everyone cares so much!

    I cancelled too.. the last reviews were disappointing and EA store was terrible.

    Also, giving money to Mark Jacobs.. it's hard, I don't like him at all

    But leaving a door open for possible good reviews after release.

    You cared enough to reply.  And make sure you wrap it up when you find that girl.

    I really could never understand why people post messages like this anyway?

    The only time I ever posted a message like this is when I was in SWG. I got to know alot of people in the

    SWG community and had to say bye to all my friends.

    But to say.. I cancelled my pre-order, take care...

    umm ok...

    lol what are you talking about. You NEVER had it preordered. Your whole entire forum existance and post history from post one was to criticise the game...literally all 240 some of your posts have been about the same EXACT THING. Don't fib. itll make your nose get larger.

     

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    You guys will really let reviews dictate you playing or not?



    I had my doubts, but after Preview Weekend, I can safely say I will play this game and enjoy it to the fullest. Don't knock the game until you try it...

    Can I have your stuff? I'll take all your codes if you don't mind pls.

     

     

    seriously no one gives a crap you cancelled for a game thats virtually been vaporware for over a year, a game that's not even an MMO (though I do plan to buy it myself for 'down time') and a shitty mmo that never really got off the ground in the first place.  As for the fourth one...who really cares whoopied doo.

  • acme22acme22 Member Posts: 97

     If I feel like some game might be really fun to me, I will try and judge it myself.

  • Major69er1Major69er1 Member UncommonPosts: 133

    I cancelled mine only because the game wasnt for me. But for Bored Vivid WoW lovers its right up there alley!! Enjoy just try not to over Hype this game it really isnt that good.

  • Cochran1Cochran1 Member Posts: 456

    If it was CE you cancelled you should have bought and sold could have possibly made some profit.
