For those of you that are laying blanket claims that MMORPG gamers are "anti-social" you need to actually do your research. The evidence and scientific side of things paints a picture that completely contradicts what you are saying. Most gamers wi…
"Role Playing Game, do you even grasp the posibilitys of what those 3 words can mean and yet all you see is one definition that came to be at a time where there was no technology, or devs or knowhow and all the cool posibilitys we have now."
Well …
" OMG!! Intelectual MMORPGers, the world realy is coming to an end! Run and hide, run and hide!
But 1 question always arises when facing a pointless dilemma, is it better to be stupid and boring and not be aware of it, or smart and bor…
"the decade you wish would end is the one that started with UO and ended with WoW. i guess that is the direction you like, but i prefer the other one. i wish mmorpgs un-evolutioned back to UO. but what do i know! i am just a shortshighted and close …
"Don't reply to my post, don't even reply with a stupid comeback. Instead ponder on what is FACT which I listed among the many and ask these questions to yourself."
I looked for the facts in your post. There are none. You simply make a bunch of …

Lindorn, your analasys is as interesting as a trigonometry class friday afternoon.
I've given up trying to make everything I say appeal to those who aren't willing to put out a little effort to grasp a concept or…
Let me preface this by saying that I find the words of this author to be insightful and interesting on the regular, however I feel the need to point out several fallacies in many of the statements and arguments rendered.
"but the fact that this t…
What we all need is a sandbox MMORPG. I can guarantee you that won't be getting boring anytime soon. However there are few titles on the horizon that fit this description. Eve is a great game but has some flaws that for many are impossible to get…
Well that was precisely my point. A majority portion of MMORPG gamers have now played World of Wacraft as their first MMORPG. World of Warcraft was built upon the concepts that had embodied mainstream games like Everquest before it. So now we hav…
[quote]I don't think "niche" means it has to have a small playerbase; as I said in the article, if a "general", catch all MMO has 15% of the MMOer population, and a game that focuses on PVP has 90% of the PVPer population, I do believe those would b…
I'm sorry but the concepts described in Vajuras's blog are not "niche" concepts. I am so tired of people claiming these concepts are "niche" There are 170 thousand people playing Eve online that beg to differ with the person who ultimately posted …
And btw anyone who insinuates that because a lot of people play WoW (Im not including people who played WoW as their first game) that it must be the superior method of design might as well insinuate that a lonely prisoner in a dungeon really likes b…
Daffid are you insinuating that because stereotypes exist there are not folks out there that actually fit the description? If a flaming activist liberal accuses an independent of being a conservative a-hole because he is anti-abortion and continual…
Phenomenal post Owyn. Your insight really added to this thread. Everyone should take a good look at your post for a good description of the things we are experiencing in PvP and in gaming in general.
Tkobo, you are just "one of them" to me. Yo…
Again you keep making claims that have no evidence other than your own word. Using Eve as an example for anything you are saying right now is a very BAD idea as CCP is winning awards left and right and is attracting more players than ever.
Oh an…
Well you have to remember that in Shadowbane cities could be pretty easily sustained by "taxing" the native guild population in order to pay upkeep and whatnot. It really wasnt hard or time/resource extensive. I have to hand it to you you are very…
