If anything then blame the players for not thinking out of the box. You can consume the game as it is. But you can also organise your own events. The two are approaches are not mutual exclusive. If you accept the EULA (without reading) you are not f…
Is it really that significant how much a big whale would spend? How many big whales are there on average on any game? Is milking the "big whales" really a sustainable business model?
I know that sometimes hobbies can get expensive. I am collecting…

F2P is the buzzword of the decade. Cash shops rule and most do not have "must have" items in them. I'm curious, though, if players would still play their MMOs if they were asked to pay to play them. Are they "worth" a char…

Didn't they say they no longer have the code to do that.
I hope they use some software for software versioning and revision control (also for 3rd party software they use(d)). There can be quite some dependencies when t…
An MMORPG needs activities that players can also do on their own (e.g. when their guild/in-game aquaintances are mostly offline). To find the suitable balance between solo and group content is hard.
But still: CRPGs >>> single playe…
If I were a Billionaire, and had more money I can handle or spend, my down time inbetween doing all the real cool stuff Billionaire's do would be making an MMO on the side.
You don't need much money or resources to realize a project. Just …
Originally posted by Sengi There are currently a lot of indie mmos in production, and it seems to me that a lot of the work goes into building the basics of the game like the art assets and so on. And at the same time there are older games that reac…
I think that a completely player driven economy could be done.
But the real question is: Would players really want it? Chances would be that economic concepts we know from the real world would slowly form within the game. But then I'd rather …

There are lots of RPG systems around. The first goal of an RPG system is to take care of a lot of technicalities (i.e. how to calculate the outcome of an action).
You can play an RPG in many different ways. Not every way will appeal to everyone.

"Do you think * get announced way too early?"
* stands for software in general.
There is a trend to underestimate the work involved with any software. It ends up in collecting all kinds of requirements and features by stakeholders (the cu…

EQN could very well be cancelled. There is no evidence to the contrary. It very well could be all smoke now, since so many quality folks exited the SOE building. What exactly drives people to make such claims to say the g…
You can look at a game/ the conception of game & game mechanics from different angles.
But in the end it is:
* Players don't know what they want.
* Players will have contradicting expectations/ wishes.
* Quite some player demanded fe…
I find it really odd.
* Players scream for "content" and a lot of them will be happy being fed with thousands of "small errands masked as quests".
* Players scream for content and a lot of them are hapy with item hunting.

I'm glad things worked out (seemingly?) well for the OP.
