The writing in WAR was/is excellent, the quest text, the personalities of the NPCs, the tome of knowlege. I don't know if it compares to Roth nor can I say that it left me "thirstsing for more" but I enjoyed it and could have enjoyed it even more if…
This game is different from your typical Asian F2P. It has some genuine tongue-in-cheek humor. You can get a good taste of it from the trailer on the web site. I mean, one of their slogans is "Enjoy the outdoors!" If you think that's silly, and you …

What is wrong with you guys? Its a teaser trailer, first off, so the title of this post is misleading. Second, its basically telling us what the game is going to have, and the d…
I played it in the closed beta and found it worth my time. It has all the trappings of an MMO except you're a ship. WASD movement and abilities on a hotbar. Lots of different things to loot when you defeat an enemy. I saw a number of creative touch…
I ragequit WAR because of the excessive cc. The last straw was when I got rooted, then knocked back, and when I landed I was still rooted. I immediately logged off and deleted the game from my hard drive.
But...I think about returning. Maybe I…
You guys are being too harsh. I found the site a bit refreshing, in that it wasn't another over-done big-sword pseudo-action F2P Asian MMO. This one is clearly going for a comic tone, and it was doing a good job at it. If you didn't laugh at the Fly…
Why is Sony calling this an MMO? I ask because I haven't been following the game. It sounds like it will be a Global Agenda-style MMO.
Also, what's with Alan Smithee? Is the writer disowning his preview??

Several people have referred to this game as a FPS. It's not, it's third person. I had a key to the city, I tried the game, and discovered that I'm not that good at third person shooters. Or at least this version of one. Even tho almost all MMOs are…
I think he's misusing the word "story". Towards the end he calls what he's talking about "shared experiences". THIS is what he's talking about. When Bioware talks about story I get the sense they really are talking about story, in other words, there…
The press release says "Players will ... participate in LOTRO’s award-winning epic story up to level 50 for free."
But the level cap is 65. Is this a typo or will you need to pay to level higher? Is that how it's done in DDO?
I once complained about it in WOW and got a canned response that said it wasn't illegal. However, if I remember correctly, the player needs to be sending commands to each character. They can't have it set up where they issue one command and that com…
A "group" isn't very massive. It's 3-6 people, or 10-20, but even 20 doesn't qualify as massive. I don't know why people who push the "massively"="massively" argument always wind up talking about groups. Group content doesn't promote community, COM…
"The last place that the game had its problems right from the beginning was with its economy. Mythic was so extreme on getting rid of gold farmers that did not realize it made their economy pointless for the player. Jeff explained that commerce betw…
Dofus was my first MMO and I played it pretty intensely for a few months. It's like a cross between anime and Alice in Wonderland. After playing other MMOs, I can look back at Dofus and realize how solidly and creatively it is put together. The econ…
I sense an error in your thinking, and perhaps Nightbringe1 is getting at it when he says that you are part of the problem. Here you are with only a few hours to play and because of that you feel compelled to maximize your game time, and you start s…
