• This model can only be beneficial to the players.  You pay for the box, like a single player game.   And like a single player game, they have to make it entertaining enough to make you buy more contentexpansionsequel. If they don't , they fail to …

  in Buy-To-Play, a Fatal Flaw? Comment by sfallmann March 2012
• I can see people playing it.  I can't see it getting a huge playerbase although, it may be as successful as LOTRO. Rifts is polished, has a twist to customizing your characters abilities, and has invasions which give another gameplay option. I t…

• I think Asheron's Call had something like that.

  in Any other MMOs with mob levelling? Comment by sfallmann October 2010
• I like the simplicity.  There's no question what the stat will do for your character and  how important it will be to you.  Plus - you can change them.   The only difference between the GW1 and these stats are the generic nature of the names.  I…

• I don't think you quite understand how events work. Some things will never reset until the players undo them. A fortress taken over by monsters?  Stays that way until it's taken back.  If on a particular server no one ever decides to take it bac…

• Originally posted by Karbonoid Originally posted by sfallmann Why would you prefer a sub model over buying a box?  That doesn't ensure quality of depth of content. If GW2 has as much quality content as other games with a sub, it's a maj…

• Why bother Cyphers?  It's easier to just ignore. I find it funny that it's "untolerable" and pretentious for a game company to hype their product.  No one ever hypes what they are trying to sell by promoting their product as the next great thing a…

  in What is so innovative about dynamic events? Comment by sfallmann September 2010
• Here's the difference in simple terms - A dynamic event is dynamic while a public quest is static.   Dynamic Events Not on a timer; triggers vary; seems to contain some randomization on when they happen Number of players needed for an even…
