  • I've been watching Mythos for a while and would appreciate an invite if there's any stil going. [email protected] Cheers
  • No it won't, for the very reasons you stated. If it's nothing like a regular MMORPG then it won't attract the standard MMORPG crowd. It might get some FPS players involved, but unless it's twitch gaming rather than stats-based dice rolls the majori…
  • I think the fact that a few people in this thread have already said they were thinking about resubscribing pretty much says it all. The idea was good, but the game just didn't pull it off well enough. I played in the beta and wasn't overly impresse…
  • It's ridiculous to even ask for credit card details during beta. It's obviously a scam they're running, hoping that a load of people forget to cancel within the 14 days and they can get a bit of extra cash. I wouldn't do it, and if everyone did th…
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they were supposed to be giving out beta places to those already signed up for the newsletter, as a kind of loyalty scheme. That's certainly what they said a couple of months back. I've not had an invite yet …
  • Although it won't fit into any of these categories, it was still technically massively multiplayer in the same way that Guild Wars is - Motor City Online. It failed due to a couple of reasons. One was EAs lack of marketing, second is that it used …
  • I'm not sure yet where I stand on the whole FFA PvP thing, but I can say for certain that people are not interested in a Risk v Reward system. You only need to look at the popular games right now and see how easy they are. Even single player games…
  • Without an accurate crystal ball, it's hard to say It all depends on what you like yourself. Warhammer and Conan are the fantasy-themed ones to watch right now. Of course if you're into either IP you'll go for that one, unless it turns out to be…
  • Well I can't say I've read that myself, but it would fit the whole idea of not XP punishing you for death. If your strength is decreased each time you resurrect (for example), you'd have to wait for it to go up again before heading into battle. Or …
  • It's a strange one, certainly. This was the argument people had about Guild Wars when it came out - yes, you have thousands of players per server, but you only see a handful of them at a time. Likewise, Motor City Online (Google it) had a similar i…
  • So far we've seen a great deal of games simply upgrading a tried and tru formula, with merely cosmetic changes and balance issues, or removing some of the aspects which players found frustrating. That's all very well and good, but there's only so m…
  • THQ have done a really good job with the IP when it comes to Dawn of War. I have never played a finer RTS title, and the multiplayer is fantastic. I hope they can recreate the intensity of an 8v8 battle with hundreds of troops per player. Every ex…
  • Originally posted by kosterov First thing i saw in LOTRO is that people stick to names that sound similiar to book names and looks of the game is good. They really stick to the tolkien spirit. I didn't play for long but it was fun and interesting. …
  • It sounds like the biggest problem is just the lack of players meaning you can't progress, and every MMORPG is experiencing this right now - back in the early EQ1 days, there was little or no choice which you played, but now you can't move without a…
  • In this kind of hardcore fighting, a cloak is just something else for your enemy to grab Maybe a kind of sash would be better than a full cloak, tied around arm or waist or something.
  • It's hard to imagine a 40k MMOG that wasn't based on multiple planets, but I guess if it was set on the right one there would be enough to keep people interested. I think moving between planets is something 40k fans would expect and be very disappo…
  • Back at the beginning, the 40k MMO was announced well before WAR, and like many others I was gutted when they sold out and decided to throw out yet another fantasy-themed RPG (because we don't have enough of them). That said, WAR is fast looking li…
  • I'm afraid I'm the same kind of cynic that Wizardry is. When I read the story, my irst thought was not "what a great idea" but rather "have they run out of their own ideas?". I also agree that the winner should not only have an active hand in the …
  • You see, ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when you have no idea what to put in your column and the editor demands you write something Besides, like I ever need help getting a rant on See my blog for details
