How about we just hope for an amazing game instead of spreading all the doom and gloom?
A chance at a new middle earth MMO is better than no chance at all. If it's crap or not exactly what you want from the IP.. no biggie. We can just act like it never happened and move on.
No doubt...As for the f2p, it just depends on how they go about it....most f2ps arent bad at all but some are very bad so we shall see.
There are many things which made Lotro a great MMO, so I will just address the one that it seems we won't be getting here. A MMO you buy and then pay a subscription for, that was what gave Lotro the funding it needed to make a great game.
If you look at the best MMOs they all released as subscriptions or at least B2P. Sometime after that they may have gone full out F2P cash shop, but it is that initial period of building a MMO with good funding that does not rely on a gameplay altering cash shop that sets a solid base.
So I am going to put this out there, apart from graphics this will be an inferior game to Lotro.
Yeah that doesn't sound promising TBH. I'm getting really bad vibes from this whole project right now.
3) Brand new studio with zero track record. It takes time to get a team to gel properly. This is a pretty big ask for a studios first product.
If that's true, why are so many people foaming at the mouth for Pantheon?
Oh I dunno, maybe Brad McQuaid being there is blinding them? And frankly, Pantheon is very niche and other people can can hyped for whatever they want. But I'm not going to fall for the hype.
