Chris has the right of it. The subscription model is dead, and the evidence keeps stacking up higher and higher. Still doesn't mean it won't work for the outliers (WoW, FFXIV), but in order to truly do well with a sub, a company needs either million…
Playing through Underworld right now and, imo, the game still really holds up for being 23 years old. As long as the story, layout, and puzzles isn't the same (too fresh in the mind), I'll definitely be playing this, too.
A trilogy?! Sweet. Not going to say the first was the best written book ever, but this is an MMO book, not high literature. It serves it's purpose well.
I'm going to match the sentiment of others here. Marvel Heroes really is the most improved MMO out there, and so this award doesn't come as a huge surprise. When it first released it was a cash grab at best. Now I'm hard pressed to find someone who …
Originally posted by Aeander Eesh, the bracket setups are going to create quite a few sad scenarios. Like with GW2 and ARR, they're both worthy titles and it's sad to see either knock out the other this early.
I agree. It should've at least been …
New Britannia, is that what the land is going to be called? If so, how much flak from EA do you think you're going to get, considering they are the rights holders? How much of previous Ultimas will there be in SotA?
Excellent. Then a follow up: SotA is going to be releasing different "episodes". Are these episodes, then, going to be structured akin to Guild Wars 1 style? Where each "episode" can be played independently of each other, but having multiple episode…
Okay. Combat. From watching videos and reading a few posts, combat appears to be almost like a card-game, if you will. Where a group of abilities flash on the screen and you pick which abilities to perform. I'm guessing that, say, if you specialize …
I keep seeing articles about SotA on Massively and now an AMA on here. Exactly how "MMO-like" is SotA going to be? A game that you can play completely offline and single player, is it going to be more on the single player side or on the MMO side?
This thread amuses me... it forwards the "nerds play MMOs" stereotype (especially the "why is it called FOOTball when they use their HANDS?!" thinking they've pointed out some fundamental flaw that nobody has noticed up until now). On top of that, t…
To those who believe, no proof is necessary. To those who don't believe, no proof is possible.
Well written. I, like you, have come back to try Cataclysm... is it as completely changed as everyone keeps telling me? No, not really... but its s…
'Ha!' to all those defending WoW like they were insulted personally. I remember all the horrific lag and server downtime when WoW first launched. When the huge lag spikes hit, the servers were down, or the game was just simply unplayable, I just pla…
I'll bet Under. December, I believe, is going to be too late, but I don't think you're that off. 1, this game is going to get numbers and doesn't matter when it releases, but it will want to come in Before everyone starts making their holiday purcha…
Originally posted by Ambrose99 Any Beta invites available? Any?
Wow. I posted this at 10:30, but didn't check my e-mail. At 8:50 I got a Beta invite from NVIDIA. You might have a good shot to get an invite if you sign up for NVIDIA's n…
Nice article. Rock on. It was an interesting year, and definitely a year of the "free". I agree with most posting... Free is such a misnomer that it really should be called something else. In reality, they are more transaction based, pay-as-you-go g…
Originally posted by Brialyn It definitely looks like Mesmer..but I thought that I read somewhere that the last four professions weren't going to be something we saw in GW? Oh well, maybe I'm getting myself confused with something else I read. Mes…
Hey. I don't know if anybody posted this or not, but yes, they did ramp down the storyline quests, at least for Vol 1. They made them all soloable. Outside of Volume 1, or even if it lasts the whole way through Vol 1, I'm not positive, but yes they …
