Gameplay > Graphics That is not to say that graphics don't matter. To me, there are old games that have better graphics than alot of the newer ones. When I say "Good graphics" I don't mean "Lots of pixels and polygons and its really shiny and r…

Originally posted by Rockgod99 These are games no? Created to entertain right? If the genre of mmorpg makes you unhappy then why do you stick around? From what I've seen people dislike the way the genre has evolved ( or de-evolved) over the years …

Originally posted by Creslin321 To the OP, I've read through most of this thread, and I've come to a certain conclusion, let me know if I am correct or off base... It seems like what you are getting at is that magic in MMORPGs is focuses so much…

If they did it would have to be primarily a PVP game. But it would be awesome, if they did it right, of course. However a part of me wants them to keep the Starcraft franchise in the realm of RTS.

Originally posted by Terranah I think in a fantasy world where there was magic, over time people through a process of natural selection would develop resistences or immunities to certain kinds of magics as a means of survival. We see examples of th…

Originally posted by Axehilt Originally posted by Balkon Required reagents, astrological alignments, runic words and all sorts would have an awesome lore and feeling behind it. And the gameplay would be awesome for more patient people who enjoy …

Originally posted by Axehilt It's irrelevant to the vast majority. These comments are made, of course, comparing WOW-like lore vs. this proposal's lore. Few would be interested in completely lore-less games with white square "characters" using ab…

Originally posted by Axehilt Basically what I'm saying is the fiction is irrelevant. It could be anything. It already is anything (WOW's spell elements are hardly the most indepth, nor do they need to be.) It's the gameplay players care about. …

This thread is full of common misconceptions. Maybe I didn't explain it well enough, because I assumed the majority of people that read this would be observant enough to understand what I'm saying and fill in the gaps. I'm going to clear up these …

Originally posted by Explorium Someone told me I was gay for playing a female character. I retorted with: At least I don't like looking at a male's backside the whole game! So, people (some people anyway), seem to not get why males play …

Well each to his/her own. Honestly it isn't just a "FPS" thing that I like in MMOs, but I also want skills to actually mean something. For example... In WoW, a level 30 mage. What do you see them casting? Fireball.. Fireball.. Fireball.. Or, maybe…

Originally posted by Explorium thumbs up if you think the original poster looks similar to a little fluffy race, in real life. Thats probably why he is so UMAD BRO? What makes you think I am mad?
