Chronicles of Eleria is the top on the hype meter. We are in for some bullshit the next few years.

And it won't be a surprise when they complain that these different games are not like our current games!

Watch how fast your AAA devs copy the model. So I am not surprised CoE is top of the hype meter, it is new and refreshing and may or may not work but its certainly more interesting than what AAA guys are doing.
Finally, I agree that people generally dont know what they want and thats why games should not be made in forums or through metrics. Devs should follow their vision at all times, once you water things down for every well meaning advice giving know it all, you are left with an average game that does nothing well.
May be the innovation players want is for dev to stop making mmorpgs, and make other types of online games.

Exactly. It is easy for people to say they want something when they don't have to do the work to create that something nor are they required to keep playing something when it turns out to be not as fun as they guessed it would be. This is one of the reason game development by forum dwellers is a horrible idea. Heck we can't even agree on our "standard" terminology let along game mechanics.

"So, another ten years of stagnation would be good, right?"
actually I thought it was an ambitiously awesome Idea, until read their FAQ. They plan on allowing cash to in game currency transactions. This is bullshit in any game that has done it. They tout being all hardcore and work for what you get, but you could just buy your way to the best things with your wallet. Then they justify it saying everyone doesn't have the time. Newsflash, you aren't earning it by buying it with real money. So yes COE is BULLSHIT, and Soulbound is a bunch of liars and cheaters.
Caspian stated: "
2. The second reason for this system is to make it fair for people who have money. Yep. You heard that right. Typically people fall into two user groups - those with plenty of free time and little money, and those with plenty of money but not a lot of free time. Most MMOs today have been built with the former group in mind. Those with families, careers, limited internet access due to travel, etc... are often left feeling like they need to spend all of their in-game time farming gold.
A system of buying gold and using it to purchase training from other players allows those who want to enjoy the game, but don't have a lot of free time, a way to stay caught up and competitive. " WHAT THE HELL?

Today we have so many choices. If you want, you can even go retro and play games made today that look like they were made 10 years ago. Odd, but the choice is there. I wish this was the case when I was younger. I am getting old and will eventually be gaming less and less, but today I have so many games to choose from that I play them as often as I am able.
My advice, find some friends or join a clan or gaming group and play games with those people. This makes gaming so much more fun. It no longer becomes about the mechanics of the game or if this or that is in the game, it becomes about the fun times you have with your friends. There are times when I play a game that I am not really thrilled about but a few hours later I am so glad I did because of the fun I had with my friends. That is what gaming is all about. If you prefer to go it alone, then that is fine as well but just know that there is no such thing as the perfect game. If that is what you are looking for, then you will never be a happy gamer.
GAME ON!

Sounds like someone has been tinkering with the hype meter.
Also, there was an example of this RobinHood guy who buys in-game currency and starts an guild, only because he has gold and can do it. This is just like it would be in real life; people with money most often also has power and influence over those who are poor. If this game truly simulates a fantasy world (and i sure wish it does), having rich and poor characters makes even sense.
I'm not sure which i hate more in modern mmos - making everyone equal in terms of time and difficulty so that everyone has to play alongside with the lowest common denominator removing all challenge and purpose to play for others, or giving some players advantages for RL money. The former is more common atm, about 99.99% of MMOs goes to that category (that's how it seems to me). I wouldn't mind if some developer tried the latter for a change, especially if it even makes sense in some twisted way.
And that's what we have seen in games. Or, if there is any innovation, it comes with hefty trade-offs leaving us in the same state we were in as before.
Well, may things turn out well for the people of Chronicles of Elyria, even though I'll be giving the game a wide berth, along with all but two of the games that are currently on that list. (B&S and BDO) :chuffed:

Of course the moment that game's been out for two months, it'll get the ArcheAge and Wildstar treatment from them too.
