The story better be good! Unlike Gene Roddenbury, George Lucas is still alive and well. So if the story isn't good, you better believe heads will roll. I suspect that's why STO failed so miserably, because poor Gene was not alive to keep and eye …

I've always had a dream, that one day, a company would be brave enough to make an MMO w/out any economy whatsoever. But alas, those gold farm/spammers would probably become "item spammers" selling/collecting items to re-sell them for live currency.…

You really didn't state why you think Rifts is a timesink... unless you're a beta tester and can't reveal too much due to the NDA. Which, if so, makes your thread rather a hollow argument. The way you write about it, gives the appearance that you'…
Hellgate was a good example of a hybridization of fps and mmorpg character progression. Was fast-paced, exciting boss battles, and addictive gear drops from head to toe that hardcore Diablo fans would have loved to collect. Though it wasn't succes…
It sounds like it will play like Hellgate and Borderlands... and not have that annoying auto lock that makes games less immersive and boring... well at least for me it does. I'll give it a try... and yeah I say it's a fantasy game... remember we do…
I just recently returned, out of sheer boredom and lack of Hellgate in NA region... it's okay, ,looks decent at 2560x1600 resolution... my one complaint is only crafting amulets... i want to craft weps/armor ect... is that possible? Maybe cuz i'm o…
Every game is more of the same since the atari 2600 days... sheesh... just give me my eye candy graphics and animations, and enough different types of loot to make even the most ardent loot Diablo loot wh0rez jealous, and maybe gameplay hybridizatio…
Maybe they'll change their minds by '11. I hope they include an alchy... I mean aren't magic-users one of the "standard" classes as a base for probably all fantasy-based MMO's?
Well I did enjoy the single-player game and will try the multi-player…
I'm glad this game is being ressurected from it's previous beta incarnation. This title as well as Torchlight 2, and Diablo 3 are amoung some of the future action-rpgs that I'm waiting for.
Though FSS' Hellgate London went under, thus eventually loosing the IP license to the Korean company Hanbitsoft; however, one thing FSS got right was the marraige between action-fps/1st-3rd person combat w/ the rpg character progression. You really…
Originally posted by Ozmodan Again, isn't this just another Diablo III wanna be? The original developers of this game are all at Runic games now, not sure how the new owners are going to do with this title. Just have to wait and see I guess.

I'm looking forward to this game as well but more because I was a big time Neocron 2 fan. If this is successful for Reakktor Media than hopefully they could bring out a sequal to Neocron.
Bring back Neocron!

Quite possibly it could be a factor why it seems that most mmo's are released a bit early. They're onl…
The ideal is novel, however, when you add to the equation human greed, then as the British like to say, "It all goes tits up!" Frankly, the same can be said about Democracy, Socialism, Communism. On paper there are some noble ideals behind all tho…
Originally posted by Kyleran I think it would make a better 3 sided MMORTS type game a la Planetside. It should be more focused around battle and combat, with resource gathering a 2ndary afterthought much like the single player game.
Yes, I c…
