God all i ever hear on Gamespot forums is WOW this WOW that. It's like they know nothing other than WOW!
Bloody Console gamers just come to PC to play WOW and have no other mind than being told what to do level 1 - 60. They just remind me of the average ignorant person who belives theirs no world outside their own country.
Grrr just wanna punch them for ruining SWG.
"oh SWG is way too complex" - Yeah for a complete retard who plays WOW
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

SWG was the beginning of a slippery slope of over simplified games....

Just a reminder, and I know you guys have said this before. WoW targets a younger audience. Say it with me, "Younger Audience" ^.O.
Uh... who cares about Gamespot? But I do have to agree with you talking about an MMO with a lvl cap of 60 gets boring especially if practically everyone on there is 60. That's why I enjoy most free MMOs. A lot of them don't even have a lvl cap! And once again, I''m going to use Flyff as an example. When someone starts exceeding standards the gaming company throws in new items and stuff for players to cope with.
I will say one thing though. WoW is going to die just like EQ... (the first one of course)
Read: the vast majority of the gaming industry's target market. Its a sad state of affairs, I agree, but its only a symptom of a much greater problem. Next time you go out on the street and see some loud, obnoxious dimwhit in baggy clothes hiping and hoping along like the great bundle of arrogant idiocy he is, realize that that's the guy game devs are trying to appeal to. (sigh)

There are more 8-18 gamers than 19-100. Issue solved. Who would spend money making something for a minority? A sane person who gives a damn? Those dont exist anymore.

That's not fact, that's just myth. The average age of gamers is 27-29(weird huh). Over 40% of gamers are in their 20's.
Sure this article is a couple of years old but different studies conclude the same thing: Gamers are on average in their late twenties! game on!

WoW has nothing to do with SWG being ruined.
in fact, SWG NGE is NOTHING like WoW. the statement is rediculous.
saying people don't know about other MMO's is also quite funny.
I beleive the point is that SWG is beleived to have been ruined by people desiring a much simplier and easier to understand combat system. Scara is just pointing out that he beleives these people that prefer an easier system would be more suited to WoW and most likely played it. Whether the two games are simliar isn't really an issue, they aren't, but rather the point is that those people that clammored for a simplistic system and swayed the game's developers are the same that would play WoW. This also being because he believes that game to be very basic and straightforward.
It's a good day to beleive
Here are the results of surveying over 35.000 MMORPG players:
http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/gateway_demographics.html
Average age of respondents is 26. only 25% of the players are teenagers. Allmost the same results as the article I gave earlier.
Of course, we are talking about computer games and MMORPGs, not Video games(x-box, nintendo, whatever) where I am sure there is a huge overrepresentation of teenagers.
Until you provide better evidence, I trust "scientists" and "students" over your "common sense". At least some people are trying to map this stuff out rather than relying on "common sense"
Oh... you played WoW on 1 server for a couple months. Yeah, that definately makes you most qualified person to speak on what you thinkt he playerbase is like. I hear alot of people talking about the WoW playerbase being younger. Yet I only have to look at post like yours to tell. Who it is around here that really needs to 'grow up'.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
So wrong..

Judging from his post, Scara clearly think SWG was ruined because of WoW gamers. which is quite rediculous.
The fact is that no one can have a 100% accuracy in knowing the total build of the gamer community. But I would rather listen to students that researched it than some one going on "common sense" that doesn't exsist on this subject yet.
First off , the average age of MMOG players is 26-35, there are more kiddies playing consule games but that's fine, because adults don't waste their time with an inferior consule format, since PC is superior. It's better for adults if we don't share the same virutal space with kiddies. Let's just hope that MMOGs that are designed for both formats keep them on separate servers.
Now WoW may have a lot of younger players because they are attracted to the ease of the game, but WoW is introducing more gamers to the MMOG genre and many of them will outgrow WoW and seek something more challenging. That will help grow the MMOG playerbase and allow niche game developers to survive.

WoW has purdy colours and simple quests ... yay.
Who can have respect for a game that when someone kills you in PvP they don't get f'all, and you can be back in their face annoying them in 3 minutes.
However I like WoW being there, it means all the grinders and crybabies won't crowd the good games!

They are fanboys because they think its the best because they never had tried any other mmorpg or a pc game in this matter... The biggest evidence for me is that until now they still dont realize that their gGRAPHICS IS FULL OF SHYTE... lol pathetic ignorant fools

If you can tell me a better mmorpg then WoW, then I'd gladly hear it.
WoW is a good MMORPG but not my kind of MMORPG I loved early SWG and I hate WoW because it's success destroyed SWG. I dont blame WoW players or anything (but theres a lot more 12 year olds in WoW than most other MMOs). For those who dont belive that SWG was destroyed by WoW's success heres an example of SWG copying WoW.

This have nothing to do with WoW's player but WoW's sucess the problem is that companies like SOE dont realise that WoW's sucess is because of GREAT advertising before hand and a good game to base it on. WoW's graphics aint great theire extremly close to those of WC3 but I think its good graphics for the game it gives that feel I expected from it. Gameplaywise WoW aint that much easier than most other games the only place where WoW is extremly easy compared to other games is the crafting system.
Now if anyone belive that the changes in SWG are because of oppinions from anyone then thats all wrong SWG is changing because of WoW's success and SOE's greed.

Believe me. WoW did not destroy SWG.... SOE destroyed SWG. If I made potato chips... and invited 200 dogs to try them out. And then released "Chips with Livertaste!!"
Is it the dogs fault? or mine?
