Here are the results of surveying over 35.000 MMORPG players: http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/gateway_demographics.html Average age of respondents is 26. only 25% of the players are teenagers. Allmost the same results as the article I gave earli…

Well I was in the same position as you, I ended up buying it and I am enjoying it a lot. You only need the Kingdom of Sky expansion(bundled with EQ2), and it was not very expensive. Get a free month of playing too. I am only lvl 50 now but there i…

That's not fact, that's just myth. The average age of gamers is 27-29(weird huh). Over 40% of gamers are in their 20's. Sure this article is a couple of years old but different studies conclude the same thing: Gamers are on average in their late t…

A Beta is supposed to be play testing and bug finding, gameplay balance that sort of thing. Unfortunately the way it has turned out, betas are usually a way for people to find exploits that they do not report(so they can use them in retail), and for…

Well, actually Diablo is pretty crummy for PvP if you ask me. Try ShadowBane. It has completely open PvP once you are off newbie island, and you can build cities anywhere on the map, and RAZE those cities too

I feel exactly that way. The games have become stale and all follow a formula, with minor deviations being hailed as great innovations. And nobody is remotely interested in roleplay. Think how incredibly cool it could be if you rolled a troll and a…

It's a somewhat restricted university line. But it's still quite fast. And how on earth do you quote someone on this forum?

But does a trial account really need 8 gigs of updates to see newb island? I am just trying to pass time while waiting... I just think it's a weird way of welcoming people to the game. If I was to make a trial to get people to play my game, I would …

Yeah voodookhan, you are right. PvE is more than an aggro system. I just felt like Guildwars PvE was not very deep though. I think I'm gonna download the free trial of EQ2 and see how that goes. I have some fond memories from EQ1 with my troll 'sh…

Thanks for the replies guys! But this really shows how subjective things are. A lot of people say Guildwars PvE is good... I'm sorry, but I think GW has some of the worst PvE I have ever seen. For example, there is no taunt skill and no functionin…

I've played through Oblivion. Very fun game, but it gets a bit lonely in there. Besides, the game is totally imbalanced and poses no challenge because of things like 100% Chameleon, 100% Absorb, magic weakness stacking for exponential damage, etc, …

ShadowBane is one of those rare unique MMORPGS. -No, this game had ZERO quests. That's right. It's not about PvE. -Skill involved in completing the game? lol, there is no completing ShadowBane there is no main quest, there is nothing to complet…

There is a game like that....It's called ShadowBane. Try it out, it's free. It's one of the best MMORPGS I've played, because you can actually change the world, destroy cities and control resources. It's also completely free PvP after you leave newb…

Check out Saga of Ryzom. That's a pretty spaced out setting for a mmorpg

Guild Wars is a FUN game. But it's not a persistent world, and it's not really a MMORPG in the traditional sense. Everything is instanced, except cities. The way it works is that you play PvE to unlock skills, and you use those skills to create a ch…

Nice numbers example there Cryomatrix! The point is though, you don't have to charge $10 to play... You could easily charge $15-$20 if you are not competing directly with major titles. Then the whole profitability increases a lot. Of course, If you …

I'd like to see some data on how profitable botched mainstream games are. Like Horizons. AC2. I am pretty sure they can't be very profitable. As expected, the customers who could be playing these games are playing WoW instead, because it's simply be…

There's no reason why you couldn't cater to other segments than the mainstream segments. It's like saying you can't sell luxury cars until everyone has a cheap one. There are allways people whos desires differ from the mainstream. The PvP segment …
