So after reviewing the forums, and noticing how a lot of players are looking for a solid MMO to get into, I'm offering a solution. I noticed some of you were trying to pick a game to get into as a community but it was a mess. I would like to offer a helping hand in trying once more to recruit and gather potential players for the quest of the perfect game. It will not be easy, and many of you will not survive, but for the ones that manage to journey on, it will be worth it.
Let's take a quick look on some MMORPGs that have been mentioned and recap.
EQ- Great solid game. Graphics outdated, not a big deal. Gameplay and community make up for this. Progression server added, sounds great. Only concern is EQ2 came out and it turns me off thinking the sequal relates to EQ1 as if the world was gone.
EQ2- So=so. Graphics are good but it just feels repitive. Don't get me wrong, it's fun for a while, just isn't refreshing. I love the guild hall idea.
Rift- Play it and try to tell me it doesn't give flashbacks of WoW. I spent 50 dollars on it, and it's fun but I quit WoW for a reason, why would I want to play it again.
AC- Never played, looks similar to EQ.
Vanguard- I wish, only problem is no one wants it. Its a shame, it has potential. Player housing, guild halls?, huge area, graphics, boats, etc. I'd be interested.
FFXI- I use to play for years, fun, but looking for something new.
Shadowbane- Loved the idea, too bad we couldn't combine games, eh?
My own opinion, I say no to any MMOFPS like Darkfall, although good idea with guild cities. I also don't like sci-fi games. I'm more about fantasy, No to asian style games, not me.
No to the following: Perfect World, Any superhero game, D&DO, LOTRO, WoW
If we don't pick a game as a community I will personally start to create the next MMORPG. Created from the hearts and minds of you, the community not from the pocketbooks from suits. Games should be made for the player not for the creator.
Time to fix this genre.
Comments
If you're gonna create an MMO with a bunch of features everyone wants, then just make sure you actually have the money to do it and also don't release an unfinished or completely unrealized product, like the following games did:
Mortal Online
Darkfall
Xsyon
Earthrise
Vanguard
Fallen Earth
Perpetuum (I know its just EVE but still)
Warhammer
Aion
Also, if people like your game, don't change it so much. Don't need to list the game that did that.
