  • I'd rather roll with my 56k and ICQ than with what is going on today.   There are a couple decent sandboxes coming out though. We'll see.

  • Originally posted by Nihilist There inheretly has to be an element of pay 2 win in order to get people to buy stuff. The question is what will a standard box price 50-60 bucks + 15 a month buy you in a FTP game? Usually it is only a fraction of …
  • Originally posted by kadepsyson It's actually amazing me that people aren't able to understand that it's the faster levelling that is the paid advantage, not what is at those higher levels. You aren't giving an example of it being an actual advant…

  • Depends what you value as an advantage. I'm sorry, EXP boosters, convenience stuff, these aren't selling an advantage. I mean, why would you care if I reach level 50 before you. Why do you care?   Now, if I can buy Sword of Ass-Kicketh that can't …
  • Originally posted by Quirhid Originally posted by UOvet Originally posted by Valentina I don't think themeparks are going to die in favor of sandbox games. We've done that before, the sandbox game basically died out for themeparks. It would …
  • Originally posted by DamonVile I haven't seen a good system since SWG. I'm interested in seeing what wildstar does with it. The open world house is the best system but how they'll deal with the problems swg had ( inactive accounts and space ) are s…
  • Leave gaming for 5 years. Come back. Basically what I've done. I just think games have become too easy/linear/main stream. It's funny, but gaming I believe was much more enjoyable when it was "nerdy" (pre 2000?). Now, every a-hole is online playing …

  • When I hear someone mention "player generated content" to me it doesn't mean creating dungeons or stupid quests for people. What that tells me is they want to bring the glory days of games like SWG/UO back.   You know, when people knew eachother, …

  • OP I think your thread falls on deaf ears to anyone who is 15 or older. They've been done, with success. Too much stuff? Go away. Since when is Skyrim a sandbox?   UO, SWG and EVE all say hi.
  • F2P  is great when done correctly.    Planetside 2 seems to be on the right track along with Guild Wars 2. Most people have bad taste in their mouth from F2P just because most F2P games we are used to are junk.
    in F2P - Why? Comment by UOvet August 2012
  • Well, the minority is what keeps games like EVE going strong and why you see games like SWTOR fail. The "minority" refuses to pay 15 a month and sees F2P being a good thing. The minority doesn't jump MMOs like carnival rides.   Why?   With F2P y…
  • With the size and so many players around hackers shouldn't be much of an issue. If they have to keep making accounts they will eventually just fall behind and get slaughetered anyway I'd think. Unless there are hundreds of these guys running around …
