Wildstar is a fun game. I enjoyed leveling two characters up to Max level. The classes were diverse enough that I enjoyed the different mechanics and the quests were fun enough that repeating them twice wasn't too bad. The housing system is great…

I think that in terms of every objective metric you could find, MMO's are more healthy today than they were in the heyday of EQ. More people play, more dollars are spent, and more games are available. Are they better? That depends on what you mea…

For me I think it would have to be CoX. They had so many things going for them. Shame that it was more of a niche product as it really was a wonderful MMO.

I love the style and the humor that are in it. Unlike many launches there is TONs to do. I hadn't followed it or played in the Beta and I'm really pleasantly surprised. Lots of fun so far.

Games aren't being made for gamers by gamers anymore. Like everything in the world it is all about the dollar now. There is only two quality games right now I enjoy.. Path of Exile, and League of Legends, both companies give a completely free good p…

I'll answer the OP: "Because spending additional funds ill increase the enjoyment of what I am doing in game." Take any other reasons out of it because that sums it all up. You are playing a game and people who buy additional resources; be they c…

PVP is dying because PVP in MMOs is lame. There are very few games where people fight on an equal footing so it's never a contest of skill. People who like PvP, and not just for ganking or strutting an epeen, play something non persistant where sk…

Would have loved to get more specific information. However, things come when they come. This has been my favorite MMO and will likely remain so for some time. I think it has one of he best toolsets and community if you actually like to Role Play …

Totally seconded, or thirded, or whatever. There is no such thing as a hardcore MMO. MMO = time = advancement. Nothing in there is anything to do with hardcore at all. Fun, well sure, or I wouldn't play them. However, not hardcore.

I had a six month sub... to which I played four months. It was a fair deal, and I don't regret it as I did enjoy the game. However, it didn't have enough things to do and I grew tired of it. When you don't log into something you already paid for …

I have no issue with people who wouldn't want to play such a game. However, what I find mornic is folks who dismiss the idea out of hand. Sure, a standard MMO grind fest would be horible with permadeath. If it takes me a month to get a single pie…

While I don't mind giving deference to the people who disagree with me, there have been numerous blogs, interviews, and other material to back up the point that devs placed time sinks into games, like 40 minute travel times, not for some kind of exp…

If anyone wants to really know about the comparison of new to old games... do this: (1) Load up and play something like starcraft 3 or Dragon Age. Play it through. (2) Load up and play something like Wizardry, or Might and Magic (The RPG not th…

Car Wars. Very little character progression. Make it an action/RPG hybrid. Permadeath (although using the clone options from Car Wars can limit that to some degree) so all you are loosing is goods and money since getting your character back up t…

None. They're just games and I can't think of one that I was so emotionally invested in that I gave more than a moment's 'Meh' too. The closest would have to be CO. Played it, got bored with it in three months, surprised they couldn't do a bett…

Code request... although I think they are all gone.

How do you win a MMORPG?

Originally posted by Tarka Of course, theres a chance that in the end such a test would prove beyond all doubt that the pre-NGE model is not worth persueing any further. But that's the whole point of running such a test. A certain percentage …

Originally posted by Tarka Originally posted by bstripp No offense, but Sony would have absolutely nothing to gain by doing this. They are still running SWG. Why would they ever want to release a F2P version of the same game with an old cod…
