I stopped coming because the mmo gaming experiences no longer justified the time expenditure. It used to be you got lost in the world and the social aspect of mmos. I suppose it was always about money but it didn't feel like it. You paid for the …
Hey guys, been awhile since I posted around here, but I sort of agree with the sentiment of the OP. While many 'mmo' are being released, none have sparked the interest or passion in me that I once had for the genre.
Some of the old games are sti…
The reason I made the switch from fps to mmo years ago was because my hands couldn't handle the constant clicking. I wouldn't recommend it the constant click click click when you are spending 4 to 6 hours or more at the keyboard. And how many of u…
I've had some really positive, amazing experiences in mmos, and by the same token I'm met some real jerks. The most interesting players to me tend to be the older ones, 30 to 65. Less BS all around. Of course I've met some really cool young play…
I started doing some gathering and crafting and quickly ran out of lp. That forced me to take a time out and step away from the computer and do some things around the house. If it was a workday I would probably just leave the game open to accrue m…
I should add one thing I noticed is it doesn't seem like things u need drop from mobs. All I seem to be getting is money and a little xp. Kinda boring. I like finding a nice thing here or there when I kill something but so far nothing has really …
Archeage is a mixed bag. There are some really interesting elements to the game that are hamstrung by your typical level and quest system. Actually it's not even typical because there are elements to it they improved, but that is Archeage or my imp…

Yeah I hope he's exaggerating.
I'm looking forward to playing too at some point but I'm getting good at delayed gratification. I …
I think market penetration will be the key. If enough people buy in, developers will implement. Otherwise we'll have the same problem we have with the 3d TV's, which in many cases is half assed 3d content and post production conversions. When it …
mmmm...why do avatars need to have genders? The whole point of genders is the biological imperative of reproduction.
I think for the same reason we have housing. People want to impose a degree of reality in virtual worlds to make them convincing…
A nail in the coffin. Fortunately it takes more than one nail to secure a coffin's lid but...
Gamers expect certain basic functionality. If it isn't there, they follow the path of least resistance to where that option is available. Usually th…
I've been looking forward to this game for so long and with such high expectations. But if this is the way it's going, it's a sad day for what could have been.
I thought one use for open beta was to stress test the servers. The only advantage not having open beta is to prevent cancellations of preorders or other prepurchases for this game. Seriously the more I think about it, the more this seems like SWT…
yeah, this does smell of SWTOR. Big IP, big emphasis on voice overs, instanced. I may not pass entirely but I'm going to wait and see what people are saying before I decide to buy or not buy. There's kind of been a drought of new mmo lately, so i…
I like it. Convenient and in some cases very good deals.
But for those who can't behave themselves and get account banned, I could see where it's a problem, especially if your account consists of many games.
Originally posted by BarCrow I know SWTOR is highly criticized by many , was not at ALL what I expected (but still occasionally enjoy) and has gone F2P...but making $129 million last year can hardly be called "failure" financially. It may have …
