Comments
lol no chance in hell that Dark & Light can compete with WoW !
playing eq2 and two worlds
DnL to me anyway feels like Horizons all over again
of course this is from the standpoint of a closed beta tester *Alert NDA police*
hopefully they fix a few key issues like the combat animation , ui , etc... before open beta if such a beta were to even exist
i would really luv to buy and subscribe to this game but so far it just feels like im reliving the days of Horizions
as for ur question V:SoH definately seems to me to be a company (sigil) and a game on the right track
true they arent going to revolutionize the industry with an entirely unique and new way to play mmorpgs but they have some good ideas on what mmorpgs should be and are really tryin to break away from the run of the mill "eq clone" gameplay all of us are familiar with
It will be Vanguard SOH, it will be on XBOX 360 and PC. It will be the WoW competition.
But I would personally like for it to be Chronicles of Spellborn
It all depends on marketing and of course online communities like this. MMORPG.com is a huge influence on what happens to a game. IMO word of mouth + discussion boards like this=make or break a game.
yea i saw some screenshots of The Chronicles of Spellborn and that looks really nice, hopefully its better system than in WoW and then will Spellborn be next huge game.
thats the kind of game im looking for, thx for info. do you know if there will be servers in Europe because otherwise it might get laggy

Codemasters is handling it, they are based out of the UK, so I'm pretty sure that they will have EU servers.
I think Age of Conan will be the next big thing.. There going after the mature crowd in this one, which will alow them to have a more realistic environment. Also I believe Funcom learned there lesson from Anarchy Onlines launch, AO's launch was horrible but the expansion after launched pretty smoothed compared to other MMORPG's expansion. Plus AO turned out to be a real indepth game which I believe AOC will be as well.

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
DDO without a doubt..how can anyone suggest Dark & Light? DDO is being built by a top dev, it has inasane brand recognition...DDO is the next hot MMO...I am not saying it'll be better than DL, but it will have more buzz.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Dark & Light only have 3 base classes at the moment to choose from...
I don't see what the big deal is there.
DnD will be the next big "thing" just because of the name. TBH i dont really see any MMOS in dev that can beat WoW. Now i hate WoW but everyone here knows about how big it is. Id like to see Huxley be a break out hit but it would seem the sci-fi community in MMOs is lacking
vanguard soh is the next big game, it has all of the ambition of DnL, and the funding of microsoft. they want to be known as the id software of mmorpgs, which is a good thing. But really, the dev team is small, well payed, talented, and dedicated. Many of the best names for mmos are in this game.
A) Fuck WoW.

Arguing over the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you are still a retard.
Too early to tell. I dont want to go off hype, but if you were to ask me, I think Star Trek Online has a good chance.
For pure hype, RF Online, DnL, DnD, and Ragnarok Online 2 all have a good chunk of that going for them.
However, for what has potential to grow into a huge game with mainstream recognition, it's DnD Online for certain. Name recognition is key. Ragnarok Online 2 has some good potential to become big, but moreso globally than in NA.
Really, if any of the four offer solid gameplay, a strong community, and are generally fun, they'll probably get really big. If none of them are exceptionally strong in such categories, it'll really be a matter of which one gets the word of mouth strength, and that's almost certainly DnD Online. WoW is still burning bright though, it'll need to fade a lot for something to steal the spotlight, unless some game shows up as exceptionally strong.
Games like RF and DnL can get somewhere in the MMO community, but getting widespread gamer recognition is pretty difficult. Marketing is expensive, and a failed MMO is a lot pricier than a regular failed game.
Mark my words though, key points are an original engine, strong community, good graphics AND sound, and varied things to do outside of combat grind.
As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction.
I think if you're talking from now to 6months...It'll prolly be RFonline.
The game sucks you rarely quick into RvR, and people are gonna be amazed at the immensely laggy, and overhwhelmingly populated crystal wars get.
It'll hold itself really high first 2months. It's been that way every Open Beta and first few months every one of the open betas in other countries.
Problem is...the game lasting long will depend on the game server and adding on updates.
The japanese one is doing great right now, with masamune shirow (the guy responsibel for classics such as GITS,AppleSeed...etc) designing in-game armors and weapon solely for the japanese version...
If the Codemaster Inc. UK can incorporate good updates and event's and provide good service RFonline can hold up there.
The reason the korean RFonline fell down shortly after server was due to crappy service and no considerable updates.
Updates that were actually good came later, so not many coustomers really returned...-_-;;
GRIND sucks? You wanna be max level in a month?
Since when did society award easy-goers and lazy-fools?
