  • Regarding the OP, I concur. Finally, we might get some perma-death action. P.S. - MMORPG.com, more RipperX videos, please. That guy is too much great.
  • Well I'm 34 now and I haven't played a MMORPG since 2008, when I re-joined EVE. I wish I never quit in the first place and I wish I never quit UO. Take a break from MMORPGs but keep the account you care most about, so that it's there when occasion…
  • I think we're chasing the dragon when we ask for that. But just to add to it: we'd need a game whose rules cannot be cynically exploited. I'd also love publishers to tone down their marketing. When I read press releases, it's like showing the movi…
  • I agree with the article. A subscription to a freemium mmorpg shouldn't involve prioritised customer support. Why? Because a game's customer support should already be good! That's just basic customer service! Plus, if a game is offering me prioriti…
  • There are young people today discovering MMORPGs who feel now as you felt all those years ago. Expect them to rattle these boards in discontent in 2011. Threads such as these have been made for as long as I've been a member of this website. And th…
  • Originally posted by Bagguns I know this should be posted on the actual EVE forums, but I've tried and its not working, i only have a trial account so that may be why. Anyways, my question: Whenever I warp to a asteroid belt to mine, I can never fin…

  • I want to add that this isn't GTA:Online. Mentioning GTA in the same breath as this game is a marketing tactic. Don't get sucked in. Judge the game on its merits, not on your love for GTA. I will see how it goes. The information so far released is…
  • Good article, Dana. When I was more passionate about MMORPGs (and devoted more time to playing them and thinking about them) I would've had something significant to contribute to the thoughts in your article. I noticed, however, that your article …
  • i'm also on a free trial. patching the game involved a 2gb download and lag has increased and there are some stability issues. I planned to subscribe but now I hesitate to do so. i used to play eve years ago and the past week has mostly been good. …
  • I didn't end up subscribing to Darkfall but the battles people are posting about are quite impressive. There aren't too many mmorpgs around who can boast of such large (mostly problem-free) battles so soon after launch. Open PvP is the main attra…
  • Darkfall will find its market and everyone else will find another game. The heated words will disappear. It's not a big deal. The interview was pretty typical for a mmorpg interview. Not much hard information. I still look forward to the game but t…
  • Actually, EVE was going to be released in europe first, north america second. When the news broke, the americans lost their minds. The whining on the forums was the worst I have seen on mmorpg forums. The behaviour was unbelievable. Quite a few peop…
  • What is wrong with MMORPGs today? Nothing. People have been making threads like this on this website since at least 2003. I used to be one of them. Years ago I made my peace and haven't played any MMORPG since. I am still waiting for a great game b…
  • I'll be keeping an eye on this. Thanks for the article.
  • Thank goodness it was only 10. I've never read such dull responses.
  • Yeah I finally read a few epic threads on the official forum. The best that players from Asia/Oceania can hope for is a U.S. server set to GMT +10. If I don't see any other games, I guess I'll still give AoC a fair go.
  • I found that Neocron's community sucked the proverbial. If you lost a battle, you were almost guaranteed to suffer a heavy barrage of abuse. The only thing worse than that was winning a battle. Some of them just couldn't take a loss. Also, the for…
  • Those kids don't exist yet but the first one could well be here in 2008. Thanks ZANGFEI, have a safe xmas and new year.
  • Started off with a zx spectrum but really didn't start buying games (thanks mum) until the Commodore 64. I used to save up my pocket money and I still regret to this day seeing a wall full of C64 games in the store and ending up buying Roy of the R…
  • I wouldn't say it's dying, but I'd say mmorpgs aren't 'progressing' as quickly as they used to. That might be because a few larger companies have spied the profits and put together games full of features taken from other profit-making games. That h…
