There would be 2 types. The Mom and pop diners and Mc'Donalds.

 

You have the small mom a pops. A small little cafe with a homey feel. Diffrent little tid bits of history about the place. You get to know the owners very well and if you like the food you can come back talk with the locals and have a wonderful time nearly spending all time eating there.

 

Then you have Mc'Donalds. There everywhere on every corner. You drive in the drive trew talking to the box "Can I take your order" you know what happens, (Say what you want, Pay..get the food, Eat and leave) . Feel sick after eating.But sometimes you get addicted, And you become fat().

            

 

I have no idea why i'm making this thread....Ok...discuss.

    WoW is McDonald's!!

     

    Cheap.  Tastes bad.  But the masses can afford it and are addicted to it.

    EVE is a mom and pop MMO, but not a normal one sicne it's slightly more agressive in it's nature. It's the mom and pop ammo shop :)

    Because other MMO's are more expensive then WoW , right?

  • DragenSoulDragenSoul Member Posts: 86

    Just to add. SWG would be a mom and pop when it was first built, But they thought they would make more money tearing to down and making McDonalds.

     

     

    Happy meal anyone?...They have lightsaber toy's inside

    WoW doesnt taste bad its the highest rated MMO in history, if it had 9 million subs but realy low review scores, no awards etc then yes its a Mac'D but it has 9 million subs, the highest rated MMO ever and awards coming out their ass.

    So WoW is nothing like Mac'D it has millions of customer and the highest food reviews in history.

    If MMO's were restraunts, you'd have to escort a butcher to a field and help kill 10 cows. You'd then have to carry the carcasses back to the butcher shop and help carve the meat. Upon completion you get 500 EXP, +2 fame and a free burger.

     

  • TengwarTengwar Member Posts: 20

    Y'know, its funny, I was just having a thought like this earlier in thinking that WoW is like the McMMO.

     

    Its great, tastes good!, bad for you. and your mind.

    EVE is a biker bar...

     

    EQ2 is fine dining good food, refined environment and high production values  

     

    CoH/CoV is a diner.  Simple, unpretentious

     

    EQ1 is a snobbish stogy old country club

     

    GW is a hotdog stand outside a sporting event - fun partisan unpretentious but competitive

      As you throw out phrases as "QFT" to that post, let me point out a few things.

    1: World of Warcraft is NOT any cheaper then other MMO's. Its 15$ a month, just like the vast majority of MMO's.

    2: It tastes bad, but the masses are addicted to it, makes a whole lot of sense. I personally have never met anyone who was addicted to food that tastes bad.

    Lineage 2 would be the dining room in prisons. You have to watch your back or you may get shanked lol. FFA!!!!!

    BTW its only cuz of the setting i consider that game one of my fav so it would be along a casual restaurant status in my book.

    EvE would be somewhat similar in the low sec part, while the high sec would be the childrens pen. Still dangerous but at least you can bring the kids in lol.

    Disagree...

    A hotdog stand outside a sporting event is rather expensive. I say GW is more like White Castle.

    Lets see;

     

    1. Mac'donalds serves Millions - WoW serves millions
    2. Mac'donalds is cheap - WoW is just as expensive as other MMO's
    3. Mac'donalds wont win awards for its food - WoW has won awards for its MMO
    4. Mac'donalds is far from the best if you ask food critics - WoW is the best MMO is ask game critics

    So you see WoW only shares Numbers of customer with Mac'D and nothing else.. and trust me all MMO's would want to share numbers with Mac'D. I win.

    Come on GL you really expect a logical comment from the WoW haters?  Most of them haven't even played WoW, but swear it's the worse game they've ever played.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    Very true. I have to admit that I was once a WoW hater and never played it. I was a HUGE Final Fantasy fan so I rooted for FFXI, but then realized just how slow it was compared to WoW when I actually played WoW. And yes, this once-a-upon-a-time WoW hater has turned into a WoW lover - as you can see in my sig.

    It's no so much that as it is unaccepting people.  I absolutely hate Eve-Online, but you know what?  I'm happy for the people that play and enjoy it.  I even recommend it to people that ask for good sci-fi MMORPG's.  Everyone should have a game they enjoy, and if someone else is playing something you don't.  Why make such a fuss over it?  As a gamer you should be happy to see a fellow gamer playing something they like.

    I think the simularity with McDonalds is the brandname and its huge international success.
    Another comparison could be a Mars Bar. Everyone knows the name, everyone eats them. But it isn't everyone's type of chocolate, and you could probably find more tasteful chocolate elsewhere.

    No doubt Blizzard/WoW is the Mcdonalds of MMOGs. They serve the most players, the masses who lack good taste. The game is not challenging/healthy  for you, it's a dummied down, unrealistic floating icons over NPCs, lack of significant death penalty, anyone can easily be a master craftsman, flawed no risk /reward PvP of a game.

    SOE and their station pass gamelist would be the all you can eat buffet restaurant. The concept fools gullible people into thinking they are getting their monies worth, but the quality of the games/food  is below par, some make you downright sick, and you realistically end up playing as often as you would in a regular choose one quality MMOG situation.

    Sigil/Vanguard  would be that hole in the wall ethnic restaurant that the health department closed for uncleanliness and poor quality gaming.
