Thanks for the numbers... do you have a spreadsheet I can use in Excel? I do not play WoW, I just bought Excel and now move numbers around their cells...
Anyway, what's it like to play as a hunter through the story of World of Warcraft? How do your…
Ah, yes. Wanting to go back to the first MMO you played. I know that feeling. My first MMO experience was with Asheron's Call 2. As far as MMOs go, some say it was a terrible game. But I had a great time, until they shut it down.
It had plenty of …

Kudos man, this is the best and most well-comprehensive description of MMO-(or general gaming)-burnout. Well done!

Thanks for the good review and the helpful responses. Currently playing AoC (sorry! ), but I think I'll give DDO another go once I have had enough of Conan or Funcom shuts it down...
Fact is: Funcom is in trouble because AoC didn't turn out to be the cash cow they expected it to be. Gamers are pretty harsh and if they don't like a game, they stop playing it. Quite simple, really. And if they stop playing it, the money stops comi…
Well, I'm no fan of mr Godager, but I'm not sure if putting someone new in charge of AoC is really going to help. I'm enjoying my stay in AoC, but even I can see the glaring problems facing the new guy.
I wish him good luck!

I'm still having fun with AoC, but it is clear that Funcom needs to seriously change things in this game. I haven't reached level 80 yet (only 43 at the moment) and though there are a lot of good things to say about this game, there are also many ba…
I have always wondered why so many people try to skip as much content and reach the highest possible level. And then moan and b***h about how little content there is...
Ah well, this is just another diversion. And a fun one, I always enjoyed these…
Perhaps it's not just the number of subscriptions that makes or breaks a game. Perhaps companies need to take into account the amount of money and effort (costs) it takes to keep a game alive.
The Devs always said that making something for AC was …
As always a good reply by Thorongil
Indeed, why would they want to make a game to 'beat' WoW? Turbine just wants to make money, not beat Blizzard. If they can pull that off and make some happy customers (especially the ones that lost faith after …
I certainly hope that the naming policy will be more strictly enforced than in WoW. LOTRO to me seems like an average MMORPG with a few nice twists (monster play, LOTR atmosphere, original quests), if they screw up the naming thing, that will be one…
I really loved AC2 and miss it a lot. Including the bugs and the lag. I'd stop playing WoW straight away if I could play AC2 again. So saying it's like AC2 won't put me off. But I realize I'm a minority...
It would be nice if you could do some things solo. There are always times where you don't have much time to play or you just want to solo a bit. But IMO a MMO should have a lot of multiplayer content. Multiplayer being anything from 2 to n players. …
Even though lore is pretty important in games, it sometimes cannot be avoided to change it a bit. That being sad, it's obvious that some companies ( *cough* Blizzard *cough* ) are doing it a bit too much, as has been mentioned in previous posts.

I surely hope there will be some 'mature content' in this game, it's part of the Conan saga. Scantly dressed women wielding swords is what one expects in this game. I always chuckle at the people who think sex is scary and wrong and violence is okay…
