• F2P:  Is not doom.   People used to pay by the hour ($6/hour and up) to play text-based MMORPGs on services like Compuserve and GEnie.  Hell, they used to pay by the CPU cycle and connect hour.  So we moved past that to monthly sub fees, and from t…

  in Star Wars: The Old Republic: Free to Play This Fall Comment by No.6 August 2012
• Can't agree (with the editorial), sorry.   I saw and then played SWG, and while the wide-open sandbox (no Tattooine pun intended) game has some merits, it's long been discredited as a MMORPG method because:  if you give people freedom and anonym…

• Originally posted by Inktomi   Why can't they at least give a warning and try to rally. No, all they did was charge the same amount of money for the product that obviously didn't warrant it. If it was so bad why can't they make it free?   …

• Originally posted by Inktomi Why did this game fail and how come SOE just does this without any recourse for the community?     Well, as a beta MxOer, I'd have to sadly say that MxO failed because, just when the MMO world was getting accusto…

  in Did Turbine really drop the ball with DDO? Comment by No.6 October 2007
• The OP's comments are appropriate for his tastes. Yes, the combat is like other traditional MMOGs.  So it's similar to WoW, EQ2, EQ1, DAoC, and many other successful titles.  The OP prefers a different style, something very active.  Personally I t…
