Wow was not polished when it came out, and was down alooooot for fixes. I dont understand why people can't wait abit before bashing new games. It will need to be tested with mass loggings and all before they get it right. Even WoW went through that.
Because WoW said sorry and did charge your for the time it was down unlike other games...
Also WoW didn't destory MMORPGs lazy short sighted devs that tried to copy WoW's success by making WoW 2.0 did.
I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.
--OK I'll be fair, WoW got a bunch of people easily swayed by shiny marketing into MMORPGs.
--When you resubscribe to SWG, an 18 yearold Stripper finds Jesus, gives up stripping, and moves with a rolex reverend to Hawaii. --In MMORPG's l007 is the opiate of the masses. --The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence! --CCP could cut off an Eve player's fun bits, and that player would say that it was good CCP did that.
If not for WoW, 'sub of 500k' will be considered gigantic and people will laugh at you if you say 'I play MMOs'.
people started laughing at MMO players because of WoW.......
Thats BS mate Ever Quest did that not Wow . Back in the days when you say you play Ever Quest people automatically think your a 'nerd' (nothing wrong being a nerd but yeah
Just like how people laugh at Dungeon and Dragon players back in the days
back when EQ was the top MMO (im not an EQ fan btw), the difference in subs between EQ and the next MMOs like DAOC, AC, UO etc.. was minimal, EQ had something like 30% more subs than daoc. WoW has something like 900% the subs of SWTOR.
so theres no massive drive on WOW to improve as it just hasn't got any competition.
so there is a tendancy for publishers to drop mmos and stop supporting them if they don't get anywhere near "wow numbers"
so there is pressure to make every mmo a wow clone.
