People that are/were in charge will never claim any responsibility for the down trends. UO died BECAUSE they made it safe and cozy with bad expansions and I dont have a link to evidence because I lived it so you have my first hand account.
The sub trend says otherwise. Trammel did not come close to killing the game like you and your bretheren claim. In fact the downfall started with the reworking of housing, which is also relevent to this thread.
I did battle with ignorance today, and ignorance won.
To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
Originally posted by jimdandy26 I would rather they not include it at all. I feel it detracts far too much from the game.
How so?
Its expensive content wise, both in its payout and opportunity. For it to be "relevent" it has to be tied into systems in such a way as to make it something I must use (ala Eq2 for example, which I hated). Besides, as has been gone into with virtually every housing thread ad infinitum, its something that a minorty of players enjoy. It is to pvers what world pvp is to pvpers. Something that is highly cried/asked for, but then rarely utilized.
So if its a feature many PvEers ask for, how is it not worth doing?
Because it only pays for itself in the very long term if it does at all. Paying an artist to make 2 weapons will have much more effect on a game then paying that same artist to make 10 lamps.
Well, my thougth is that elder scrolls fans have always mentioned housing of some sort. Some of the most popular mods are housing/fortress mods.
So putting in a system that allows for die hard players to feel like they have an actual part in the world is only going to keep them playign the game longer. And in the long run that means a reliable, steady playerbase and income.
I think it makes perfect sense to do it.
I realize this is not skyrim online in any sense of the term but there is a host of rabid elder scrolls fans who have wanted some sort of online multiplayer version of this IP (not all of course) and if Zenimax does it right they will have this group at "housing is in and there is a room for your hireling".
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
