2011 could be a very good year for MMOs. I'm really looking forward to GW 2. I'm also hoping Earthrise will be out and good. I'm not really interested in SW:TOR to be honest.

I don't think anyone is trying to imply that game developers necessarily owe consumers anything, or that they should be altruistic.
Rather, what some people, at le…

I am what most would call a “WoW Hater”. But there is something I must confess, that I am sure other people that dislike WoW, also share in common. And that is, “The reason I hate WoW is because it’s the top MM…

If I like the game and am enjoying it immensely, no amount of money is too much. (well, within reason. $15/month is within reason)
I'm sure that the jellybean company I buy my …

Meh... I really liked the low level cap and extremely fast leveling in the original Guild Wars. The fun was playing the game, not grinding up levels. I'm not thrilled with this new direction.
Originally posted by jusomdude How many MMOs have you played where the game was truly balanced?
I'm guessing your answer is 0.
I know I havn't yet played one, and I've played a ton of them.
Whether the game be skill based, or class based, …
For the most part, I agree with you. The only thing I COMPLETELY disagree with you on is getting rid of the AH. Go play Guild Wars and tell me how awesome it is without an AH. Selling loot is a huge pain in the butt, and a big hassle if selling stuf…
You know it's funny, I made a really similar post about 2009. I was really excited about Earthrise and Jumpgate Evolution, which were both scheduled to come out that year. Neither one has release yet, halfway through 2010. I played Eve for about a m…

I was really excited about Guild Wars 2 as Guild Wars 1 is one of my favorite games. Unfortunately the best part of Guild Wars 1, the dual class skill system, seems to have been ripped out of Guild Wars 2. I'm quite disappointed. I'll most likely st…
This is incredibly disappointing. The dual class skill system was one of the best parts of Guild Wars 1. The unique builds and possibilities to morph your character into drastically different roles just by switching skills and attributes was one of …
The problem hasn't been the lack of "RPG" in recent MMOs, it's been the lack of "MMO". Instances instances instances has really hurt the "MMO" feeling of games. I have no doubt that TOR will deliver on the "RPG" level, but I have serious doubts on w…
Good for SOE. The sense of entitlement and need for special treatment by people absolutely astounds me. Don't get me wrong, I feel terrible for people with disabilities, but the ones that believe the rest of the world should make unrealistic accomm…
Both games are really good. I am currently playing Eve, but that is mostly because I played through most of what Guild Wars has to offer. If I were to recommend one over the other, I would recommend Guild Wars as I enjoyed that more. But like I said…
