Hey SOE why don't you just offer people Station Cash for new players so they can buy things to make them competitive right away?
By the way to any and all people thinking of trying or going back to EQ2...Sony is packed with liars and cheats who just want your money. They give a damn wether you enjoy your gaming experience. Bring your credit card along so you can pay twice for teh same content..
I fail to understand why these big companies do not relaunch some of these titles. Make an expansion called EQ2.5 that adds a lot of content for new players like a new class (beastmaster) and new lower level zones and perhaps performance and graphic inhancements. Spend some marketing bucks and relaunch.
Just my 2 cents worth.
That made me giggle. I thought it was more like a "Recruit a Future Enemy" program. If I had friends with any kind of sense that loved MMORPGs, I certainly wouldn't after a significant amount of time spent being affected by the above mentioned liars and cheats. Don't forget the mediocre programmers and first class stalkers. (Still feel like spreading that guy's legal business around, SOE?)
Since I don't have any friends, let alone those who have any kind of sense and like MMORPGs, the good people of the world are safe from this attempt at entrapment by the liars, cheats, mediocre programmers, and first class stalkers. Oh that, and I sold my Station account to chinese bots.
Sony is really getting desperate. Since they introduced RMT into EQ2 long time players have been leaving.
Smedley has to the most clueless CEO in the business, he makes the EA goof balls look like geniuses.
Smed actually had the nerve to EMAIL me himself and ask me why I was quiting over the Station Cash fiasco. For me the station cash wasn't so much the issue. it was the blantant LIES he told us 2 years before where he swore RMT would never come to EQ2 live servers. He then tried to cover himself by saying that was meant for player to player RMT only. He had 2 years to correct his so called mistake....
I called BULL$HIT on him and dropped my 2 SA accounts. I had played SOE games for 11 years prior to that. I totalled up all of teh money I had spent on software, hardware upgrades, subscriptions and trips to fan faires and figured I had spent around $16,000.00 (yes that's sixteen thousand) to play SOE games. And then Smed lies....? WTF loyalty doesn't count for anything with this guy. He asked me what he could do to keep me as a customer. I told him to keep his word and not to bring RMT to EQ2...of course that fell on deaf ears...SO I now play LOTRO. Turbine says RMT won't be coming to LOTRO. If they do, I will go play something else. Eventually there will enough MMO players who hate RMT that some company will make a first class MMO without it.
Smed lied, EQ2 died..
First, it is Bolderdash!!! That is the game..
Next, what is RMT? Is it cash for in game items or gold?
Last, I just finished up a 10 free trial and LoTrO is a pretty good game for those that want unending quests...
RMT is Real Money Transaction. yes, buying in game coin is one form, another type of RMT and the one we are speaking about here is basically a web page created by the game developers themselves (this time it's SOE) who will sell you in game items for real money. In this case you buy "Station Cash" or points that are used to buy in game items right from the game. It starts out with small items that really don't affect your abilities in the game, but eventually people will stop buying that crap so more intrusive items need to be sold. Armor, weapons, potions, mounts, housing all that give you an advantage in game over other players..It's exactly the same os buying in game coin from some Chinese gold seller, except this is sanctioned by the developers themselves to try to bolster profitablilty of the game. In this case EQ2 is failing and losing market share to other games so they did it to try to squeeze a little more coin from the game before it dies...a lot of veteran players, entire guilds, left the game because they were used and lied to.
many people will tell you that RMT is the future of all games. This isn't true. A lot of players won't play an RMT game. There will always be games without RMT for these people...
