As a long-loong time gamer I can see the point Josher is making, and it's a good one.
I disagree with other posters that dumbing things down means making it easy to get 'raid level l00t' doing other tasks. Not all of us have the time/energy/inter…
There is also the conspiracy theory...erm....theory...
A certain game did extremely well in the MMO market, and it was thanks to it's timing, it's history in games (1, 2, 3 AND expansions) that not only did alot of people join, but they stayed - p…
As excited as Bioware are, and I can say they have a good right to be, they aren't really selling things very well with the people they are putting up on the videos.
The first guy on the video seemed...well....smug and full of cr*p to me. He was …
One thing I do like is how much the story cutscenes and regular interruptions will make a game that may be exciting and engaging for game-players, yet a pain in the backside for RMTs and the like...
...after all, it's going to be a bit hard to try…

So you are upset because blizzard and microsoft make money by only doing the minimum? Sorry to tell you this but the entire business world is about this, do only what you have to do to get money you are looking for.

Blizzard's Warcraft series was a concept ripped off, like so many RTS's. However, they were GOOD rip-offs that had some great fun times associated with them. The RTS market was still relatively weak back then. Warcraft 1 and 2 were pretty good, a…

That's the feeling I got.
It all looks great but how is this a MMO and not a multi-player video game?…
You'll find the extra enhancement slots REALLY make the difference on the powers you have already though. 3 slots per level in between power-gaining levels after level 32 means the powers you have become that much more effective.
So 3 slots at 33…

Blizzard's numbers are impressive, but I'd have to say that no company is ever too big to lie, and I would say it is very naive to believe so. Microsoft said Windows Vista was …

NCsoft is actually a game publisher but they do have some in-house development of games but most of their business has to do with publishing games than making them. But the point is the same, it can be good for PS3 i…

Are people still questioning Blizzard's numbers after all this time? Hasn't the fact its been in the top 5 selling PC games since release proof enough? They also explain quite clearly how they get their numbers. If …
I think this is possibly the problem.
Combat in most currently in-development MMOs and running MMOs may be pretty much the same, but I don't HAVE to play any MMO. I expect something better and more interesting for my money.
When I was 7 I used …
I'm not getting into any pro-WoW anti-WoW / pro-WAR anti-WAR arguments, I'm just going to express my thoughts, as an avid and extremely experienced gamer, on watching that video.
At first I honestly thought I was watching a video recording of WoW …
Just to cover the statements you've made:
All servers in CoX are the same in respect to PvP and PvE. There are PvP zones for general combat with different styles of zone-wide entertainment, from doing missions to affect players' defence or damage…

Much of the world lives by capitalism. If enough people are willing to buy your product then you can make money out of it. If you feel a product is too expensive to 'rent' then you aren't forced to pay for it, just don't 'rent' it.

The steadily declining originality in MMOs is a real shame.
I've actually come up with a whole new game which has the same VERY basic premise, but then takes the game to a whole new level. I've planned out missions, quests, layouts, mythologies, …
