The main problem with cataclysm was the year long content drought leading up to the expansion and the year long content drought at the end of the expansion.
the expansion itself was mostly a continuation of what wrath already did, easy leveling, d…
its rare to have something interesting to talk about when it comes to mmorpg since most of the news are about crowdfunded mmorpg failing in development. There's a limit on how many times you can discuss what defines an mmorpg which is about as enjoy…
6 years and we are talking about alpha 2. alpha 2! we ain't talking about the game, we're talking about alpha 2. next year we are getting alpha 2. not the game, but alpha 2. 7 years and maybe we get alpha 2, not 7 years for the game, but 7 years for…
Companies have a tendency to get bloated during good times and have to make tough decisions when the money just ain't rolling in like they used to.
If we talk epic games vs valve, epic games just laid off more people than valve has.

Not sure the overall consensus is that Starfield is a bad game. Oh look, it's not. Considering how many idiots unfairly give it a 0 or 1 rating, toss all those out and it's probably a solid 8 out of 10.

I took a look at the threads that has posts in september, and what it tells me is that mmorpg genre might not be dead but its a pale shade of what it once was.
The thread with most posts is:

Given how extremely negative I was during the kickstarter basically expecting snake oil sale they have done far more than I expected, actively working on building a game with fairly competent developers.
The problem is the reality that developing m…
750 dollar alpha stuff exist because people are willing to pay that sort of money for the access. It just wasn't an option back in the old days and I'm fine that option exists for people that really really really want to play it.
i would never pay …
Dragon's Dogma was a good game but it always felt like it could have been much better if they just had a lot more time to develop everything.
I hope they can improve a lot of the flaws that the first game had.

Yay! Finally all the folks that wanted an MMO with Hardcore mode can have it. I'm interested to see if anyone actually survives a raid at end game. Heck, I'm interested to see if they can get enough people brave enough to sign…
Ubisoft tried NFT and it was a dumpster fire. EA ditched the idea of NFT. Microsoft is anti-NFT. Activision Blizzard insist they aren't doing NFT.
If NFT would be a great mainstream money maker they would be all over it.
Most people want to play the content on their term and that's why instancing became the norm for group content.
WoW stopped with open world raid bosses for very good reasons, if you weren't in a guild that could get 25+ to show up immediately as th…
My motivation is more about playing fresh content and better gear is a bonus. The most depressing thing is when you have to play dated content for drops, there's just so much repetition you can take.
17+ years later and I still enjoy wow raiding, p…

Everquest had Sony backing it. This game is struggling to get funding. I don't think it is a scam but it may fail that is for sure.
Well, didn't they just raise 2.4 mil? I think t…
If this was developed by a regular studio with funding from a publisher it would have been shut down long time ago for lack of progress, just like chronicles of elyria, camelot unchained and bunch of other kickstarter mmo would have been.
There's a…
I don't think that many people actually play games for challenge.
For me a challenging game is something that takes me out of my comfort zone, it forces me to radically change the way I play and that's a challenge that the next mmorpg can't provid…
Challenge is great, until you face an obstacle that you, your group or your guild are unable to beat.
As someone that still play classic TBC its obvious that some designs are problematic. People don't do heroic blood furnace because its so absurdly…
