"Vanilla WoW is like Chocolate Chip Cookies. It's so easy, and enjoyable, you always smile about it."
Not a good comparison at all....Ive been eating chocolate chip cookies since 3 years old...WoW lasted about a year or two......I got tired of WoW, never tired of chocolate chip cookies.
At its peak, in late 2010, Blizzard reported WoW having over 12 million active subscribers.
Those 12 million subscribers that kept WoW alive for 20 years would agree with me.
This user is a registered flex offender. Someone who is registered as being a flex offender is a person who feels the need to flex about everything they say. Always be the guy that paints the house in the dark. Lucidity can be forged with enough liquidity and pharmed for decades with enough compound interest that a reachable profit would never end.
I always laugh at people who pine away for the old school games where there was no mini map or quest markers, you had to group up to even level unless you picked one of a few classes that could solo, even finding quests involved knowing what to say to which NPC to even start it because there was no indication the NPC even offered a quest. By in large this is all rose colored glasses because when these people actually get an Indy game built like that the log in and say "oh wow this is complete shit". The game typically shuts down for lack of players. There's a reason we got to where we are with games, and it wasn't game companies just unilaterally deciding to ruin games. No the were just implementing the QOL features the players asked for.
That’s kind of BS isn’t it?
These games shut down because they aren’t finished or aren’t good.
Aren't good because why? Aren't good because the development team lacks the technical attitude to build an MMO that scales, or aren't good because once people are forced to take off the rose colored glasses and play the game they say they want to play on gaming forums they find out that those games were actually bad all along?
Ever go back and fire up EQ or DAoC? It's pretty painful even with all the QoL stuff they added. Those games would fail if they were released as brand new today.
The first one.
played Vanguard right up until they closed it so your “rose colored glasses comment rings hollow sir.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
