CoX for me. There's a whole bunch of good ideas that aren't being emulated because the game wasn't a gigantic hit. A shame.

TR is a WoW Clone in a sense. It shares the basic tenets of all DIKUs, with an exponential XP grind, skills gained automatically and unlocked through spec, levels, quests and so on. All of this is apparent in their convention demos. The thing most…

Ya know, EQ2 isn't the biggest world, but it is pretty expansive and certainly has a lot to see. Might be worth checking out. Vanguard has come a ways since launch, and at least in the early levels doesn't completely suck. Most of the angst is ass…

Not to beat a dead horse, but there are a lot of different games out there. They're just not wrapped in western Fantasy Elves and Magic. The major AAA CD/DVD-ROM installed part of this genre is what it is because we are an easily understood audie…

If you define "social game" the way John Smedley did when implying they were dead, you're basically saying "grinds with undefined endgames and housing" are dead. I pretty much agree with that. Nobody's going to make another UO nor pre-NGE SWG. But…

WoW had 500,000 for just the Stress Test periods. And I don't recall LoTRO getting 1,000,000 for their beta. They had a lot, but I can't find any link that talks about numbers, nor do I recall it appearing on the beta boards. Also, food for though…

I consider Diablo 2 an almost-MMO. The only thing it lacks is a public-space persistent environment where players could see each other at random. The chat room front end almost was this though. So close. But heck, it worked for them. I'd play Diab…

I suspect RG hasn't really kept up with the niche titles, like Eve or ATiTD, or the new-UI games like Neocron and whatnot. That's fine. There's only so much keeping-up you can do when you're, like, building games for a living and whatnot. How aware …

Originally posted by voodoochile UPDATE: I just looked them up, and they are as absurd as I expected. How can any self-respecting gamer list Habbo Hotel, Maple Story and Club Penguin on their list of awesome games? I thought Maple Story was bad, …

Nothing on the short-term horizon is going to kill WoW. But this is largely based on scope of awareness. This is because there's stuff already clocking WoW handily, they just don't appeal to the people wondering about "WoW Killers". It's kinda lik…

SWG is considerably different from when you last played. However, it is still very playable. Your Image Designer no longer exists as it did, being rolled up into a new class. But it is worth checking out if you loved the game previously. Just expect…

It depends on when you beta'd it. Early beta was sorta bland and boring. Late beta was much more immersive and interesting. Tweaks and ambient music can do that Still not as "exciting" as playing WoW, but definitely a solid and well-constructed g…

The same can be said of WoW and EQ2 as well. All three (including LoTRO) are fine games with short and long/ongoing quest arcs. The challenge is you gotta care, and quite a few do not. If you're looking for story in a fantasy setting, LoTRO would …
