Bugs are one thing, but I don't understand these CTDs. That is just basic programming 101. Any half decent error handling scheme can prevent this. If even these basic rules are not followed I start to wonder how the code looks like and if there is a…

This is great news! It shows they actually listen to their beta testers. Way to go Funcom. Now let me in the beta already.

If you want to have fun, buy EQ2. However Vanguard is a much better investment. You can pick it up at bargain basement price now. But in 20 years it will be a valued collector's item. Contending for the title of Worst Game of all time, just after E.…

Don't hold your breath. This would require a lot of physics. So I don't think we'll see this anytime soon in mmos. 1vs1 would be no problem I guess but you also have to take into account big raids and mass pvp.

I'm totally surpised by this. I thought LOTRO was a huge success with more than a million boxes sold. I even remember an interview with the CEO after release saying "we'll call you when we reach 5 million subscribers" or something. For a great game …

Oh Vanguard had an extensive beta program too, but they didn't listen to the beta testers.

Games with long (>3 months) mass beta programs: WoW, LoTR, WAR Games with short (<1 month) betas: DDO, Auto Assault, Archlord Anyone see a pattern here? You just need a big beta program to make a great game. Besides I'm dying to try out my…

That video looks pretty good. But I share the OP's concern. They really should start a big beta program now. It's the only way to iron out the bugs and ensure a smooth release. People have a lot of choice nowadays and most won't put up with a buggy…

LOL I never understood the fascination for The Vision. Any marketing guy can write a nebulous vision doc which mostly consists of bigger better more of everything existing mmos offer. There's a big difference between having visions and designing a …

I'll never play a SOE game again, especially if it's 'free'. I tried Mxo 'free' trial and got billed for the game and a station pass. SWG, EQ2, MxO, Vanguard... Fool me four times... I think i learned my lesson now.

Go easy on the prozac, Brad.

I don't know why you say RK1 is dying. There are 13k players >201 on RK1 vs 10k on RK2 according to auno.

Thanks for the links. The game and gameplay looks very good. But I'm a bit worried about the number of bugs and defects we saw. I mean if you played lotr beta six months before release it was nearly bug free. Still looking forward to play it and im …

I hope they're not biting off more than they can chew. Funcom is a small company and they don't exactly have a good track record for smooth releases. Nearly every game/expansion they launched had serious problems at first. The more they hype or mark…

I wonder... They almost had 6 extra months now... I think VG was doomed from the start. If you only have half the budget of the competition (EQ2/Wow/Lotro) and you try to make a game that is more than twice as large, you're going to have to cut some…

It's a good move, but they only need 4 servers for the entire population... that puts it in the ranks of Anarchy Online and MxO... aka c games.

Don't rush Funcom. If previous games are anything to go by there will be plenty of bugs even if they take their time. If they rush it, it will be a disaster.
-
Even if there is a free trial, I don't think many ppl will want to download/patch a 5GB game. I'd rather pick up a copy of the retail version for $20 or so.

Meh. I don't know what lovecraftian means but it all sounds too dark and somber for my taste.
