I tried vanguard several times over the years over the years but couldnt get into it for 2 reasons: lack of players, slow levling in the early levels.
Visually this game is stunning, and i wish this game had been a success so i could have roamed t…

WoW success wasn't an "accident" where did you come up with that.... when it was released it refined every single PvE design of the time into something perfect. EQ, AC, UO you name it. It was expected to be the next big thing.
As for Wow bashi…
Comparing EQ and WoW dungeon design is like comparing a ferrari and a van: they don't serve the same purpose.
In EQ you had REPOP which meant you could stay in a dungeon forever until someone got bored; the repetitivness was dulled by the thrill o…

It's a well-done game no doubt, and when you play others MMo you feel something is missing, is not polished, is not fun...
It just has the worst community i've ever seen in a MMO.

I'm sure many of you know exactly what I mean.
Yup, that itch that says "Every game that I try is dull to me - Maybe I should go back to WoW?"
So I debate and debate and deba…
Originally posted by elocke Seriously, I want to know what makes people spew vitriol and call WoW an "EZ Mode" game. I've played it and loved it. Got burnt out on it, and have come back off and on because other MMOs just don't have the sheer amoun…

My take on EQnext:
It's gonna be what everyone here hate most: fast leveling, soloing, raiding, you will be able to buy the items you want etc.
Face it, the farmville crowd is much more bankable than the angry hardcore/roleplayer crowd, we are d…
Cataclysm is a very efficient repainting of the old world designed to streamline the lvling experience for new customers. It improves even more the gear-threadmill model set by TBC and improved with WotLK.
It fails by making all classes / roles ha…
Most of the anger toward WoW is not based on the game (always changing) design, or what it gained and lost since Vanilla TBH.
Players just cannot find any competitor with a similar lvl of polish and content, regardless of the design (pvp, pve, sim…
Originally posted by Jimmy_Scythe It doesn't really make any sense. I realize that F2P games use the grind as 'stick' in order to get players to buy stuff from the cash shop, but aren't there more immediate ways that you can "encourage" your player …
WoW suddenly got old for many people who have been there since Vanilla.
The game is much better, but follows the formula set by TBC in 2007.
The community is larger, but also unfriendly, immature and repulsive.
Unless Bioware manages to make T…
The answer is in your post. You lack the patience to repeat the same actions, because as you get older, the feeling that time is precious gets stronger. Your potential to quit a game is muich higher than of a young player.
The industry makes more …

Blizzard always said that they were working as intended and acted the "tough" developer, even saying that, those wh…

Gold farmers have always accounted for more than 50% of Blizzards active accounts, add in that Blizzard has always been very deceptive about the size of its acutal subscriber base. Mix in that most WoW players have mo…

Originally posted by Bob_Blawblaw WoW brought something to MMO's that has not been seen since... polish. It didn't innovate, or invent. It took what was working in other games and made it better. What's funny is that after that, many company's tried…
