LOL !
Why, if this game isn't worth mentioning, do I have a background now, at the very moment I am writing this, which advertise for the game ?
Why, if this game isn't worth our time, do I get all those smaller ads on mmorpg.com on other occa…

Here I was under the impression these old ideas of gouping up was slowly dying. Guilds have never been a "user" dictated feature of a game. It was and is always been a marketing idea being said to be "asked" for.
Finite games ?
Most non-video games always have an end. At which point the winner and the loser are declared. Game companies don't like that idea.
Because "real" end(ing)games make the player stop playing. And they don't like players to stop play…

The problem is not to be negative, but to be negative just for the sake of it or without argument or reason.
Too many forum writers are positiv or negative without an argument. If there is a reason to complain, you are allowed, you are bound, you n…
Cant you see why we keep on beating the dead donkey ?
Because BW promised us TOR and we remembered the awful good game.
BW promised us a MMO with new features. And we remembered WoW.
And alot of people willing to forgive and forget and wanted to …
LOL !
I was there in 2008 on BW's forum. I have read all the statements that this could not go wrong because it was Bioware. I was there on the server stress tests in Beta and downloaded the heavy 20 Gig game ... and then when time came Bioware tol…
It has been noted, already for years now, that a simplified view of "a gamer" is erronuous and only purposes the viewers point. Even "gamers" tend to make differences, as Pokket noted, within their own "group": hardcore/casual, mature/kid etc. . Re…
Speaking of whacking dead horses...
It would be great if everybody would use the same name for the same idea, or at least know what they are talking about.
Immersion ? Sandbox game ? Endgame ?
A MMO does not have an "endgame", that is for sin…
hmm ... We should wonder how making games became big business ? Maybe there are some lessons to be draw from the past ?
Now this business is spread across the World. Are there any laws worlwide enforceable ? And will protective laws not shift a …

I am not sure if I am quite with you on the faux NPC. You want to make every character playercontrolled, but if he is logged out, it will stil perform tasks ? Alot depends of what it does as task or what you let it do.

What we call "a game" consist of different things.
Games susch as WoW, Rift, SWTOR, ... all are client/server systems. Meaning the server controls the input of the client and sends the necessary data to a from the client.
