They say we learn more from failure than success... but it is slightly humerous to talk about millions of boxes sold (TBC) and millions of subscribers (WoW Current) as a failure . Still, one of the reasons they stay on top is that they are constant…

I don't think it is a far stretch to say that most gamers are against bragging and general annoying behavior from others... but Competitive PvE goes well beyond that factor. Take a game like WoW where much of your end-game experience is done by gu…

Originally posted by Hexxeity I can honestly say I am not at all competitive in a PvE situation. It doesn't even make sense to me. I have a lot more respect for someone who is good at working with a group or who has good leadership skills t…

We are a competitive people... especially those of us who enjoy gaming. Perhaps the current PvE setup of MMO's is not conducive to true competition, but I don't see the answer as making players Less competitive. Instead game developers should str…

Well, I suppose my experience has been different than most. My PvP time has been mostly in Shadowbane and EVE... two small communities that provide both in-game and out-of-game consequences (out of game meaning reputation and such). The more free …

Darkfall probably has one of the oldest (talking RL age) crowds you are likely to find. This is especially true since many of those following the game have been doing so for 3-4 years now. The forums there used to be a place of great discussions a…

I think there are thousands of players with this same story... it was mine for the first year or so as well. I have just come back after a year off EVE and am starting to look for 0.0 corps to get involved in. I enjoy the stories from the big BOB …

This game actually sounds more and more interesting with every report. If the biggest low spot is that the in-game action takes away from your desire to read quest text... then I might actually consider that a good point. In most games I generall…

The link to Gama is broken. It wants to send you to www.mmorpg.com/www.gamasutra.com/ That site does not exist apparantly .

Hmmm... interesting ideas, but what is FAR more interesting to me is the production model here. Basically you are taking University resources and Free labor and creating what will be a very marketable game (or could be if they actually complete it.…

I second the request for actual information on these Devs and their games. It is often hard for people to find these Indie games... and that seems like something MMORPG could help with.

Part of me completely agrees with this OP, especially as I get older and things like jobs, kids, and families get more important. It is ironic, though, that I just got through writing a piece on how the current MMO crop fails to "Capture" me emotio…

Originally posted by mindspat Beta testing sign-ups don't mean squat in terms of potential success of a development project. Then there's an allusive 80% who want to be c001 and brag about being a "beta tester". What about the vocal minority wh…

One comment I have heard is that the player base is something like 50-100 active people? I don't know where that fits in your review, but it seems like it would be important info for people looking at the game.

I think Reklaw makes a very good point... this has much more to do with how Social a person is than how Casual. I don't care if you only play 3 hours a week... if you have been putting in 3 hours a week for the last year or two in a game like WoW a…

Heh... so don't allow Internet access because people lack the self-control to govern themselves? Well, it may be a valid point, but I don't think it will sway any dev teams. Personally I think this is a great issue. But, I see things like city/g…

I wonder what people expected when they bought VG? Those that are crying that it is unfinished and such... did you read nothing about it before you purchased it? Personally I don't find the game all that amazing. I grabbed a 10-day free trial an…

I would love to see every weekend be a double XP weekend. I just have to wonder how many people who are 30+ with families and jobs are crying about how fast the game moves... maybe they are out there, but personally I don't mind a 1 hour gaming se…

You seem to be using the cusomization in WoW as a strong point? I would agree if the point of the game were to be more different than other people of your same class. But, that is not the point of the game is it? The point of the game as defined …

Heh, lots of questions there... 1. Yes, it was double XP, and I moved from 17-21 with regular play. If you are not running in groups taking on 3-4+ dot mobs then you are not getting as good XP as you could. Don't know much about the world... th…
