Part of the reason I don't play MMORPG's as much as before is that they came to increasingly resemble Skinner Box/Data Mining operations. Loot crates, games as service, etc. You went from the early auteurs, the ones who saw the goal as painting a …

I played ESO for two years. It has its merits and downsides. On the positive side, it runs very smoothly, the graphics are wonderful and there are tons of things to do in an enormous world. But the downside, for me at least, was that once you got…

I remember my first misgivings were when they said they were going to add capability for players real world facial expressions to be reflected on their in-game characters. I thought "do they really need that?"

Just do what I do, and play it in your mind. I have enjoyed many never-released dream MMOs over the years that way...you save money too

It is so sad to see Bioware going out this way. They are like Norma Desmond coming down that staircase, thinking all those bright police lights are cameras.

Early backers will get access to Pre-Alpha 1, a baby dragon pet and an air guitar emote. By the time we get to Developer Diary #179, we will hear that Alpha 1 has been pushed back to 2025, but the cash store is now open and you will be able to buy …

As a backer (not whale though) I understand the skepticism. Some of it seems warranted. Maybe the game will never see release. But to me it was worth the risk to help them try. As I look across the MMO space, I see the death of dreams. Once bel…

I like normal looking females as opposed to the idealized video versions. People can create what they want of course, but a lot of other games seem to stick you with cookie-cutter choices.

I supported on KS and still think it was worthwhile, given the different approach being taken. Like the author, I'm not ready to lay this in the casket just yet. However I agree with the comments above about the warning signs of feature creep. I …

"Browser-based cash grabs aren't a pit. They are a ladder. Many who try to make quality MMO's fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to make a browser-based cash grab, refuse - they cling to their principles…

Originally posted by uplink4242 You are mistaking what I said. I never said EVE is supposed to be a fight of good versus evil. I'm pretty sure the grand majority of veteran players do not see the game by these lens. Simply put, it's a game of intere…

Others have pointed this out, but I will flag again part of the problem. Here is how it goes: - generally, the best environments for RP are sandbox games - however, many argue a true sandbox needs FFA PVP, preferably with full loot - in theor…

The big problem in a nutshell - FTP and cash shops. Cash shops inevitably start out as just for "fluff" items. But as companies begin to mine their possibilities, they become Pay-To-Win. It is difficult to understate how corrosive Cash Shops/P2…

Originally posted by The_Korrigan This is one of the most well written posts on that topic I've read in ages - thank you, friend, for expressing what I feel about the confusion between "sandbox MMORPG" and "FFA PvP" in such a nice, clear, and well w…

Original UO had its charms, and in general I support and want sandbox play. However there seems to have been an unholy association formed between sandbox and FFA PVP with full/loot. What happened in old UO - and what led to Trammel - was the impac…

The writing and acting on the trailer was pretty weak. It reminded me of one of those D&D LARP videos. Or Wayne's World - I kept expecting someone to interrupt the guy who was talking and say "c'mon, I know this is just an E3 trailer, but we …

Three thoughts based on ten years plus playing MMO: - yes the problem is real; females and also gay people (especially gay men) are given an especially hard time. This is understandable given the demographic (mostly straight young males) plus t…

/agree with above comments that mega-servers won't change the basic dynamics of the game. The problem with SWTOR is that it is a very linear, heavily-instanced, single-player focused themepark. Having 100,000 people on a server means nothing when b…

Originally posted by zymurgeist Originally posted by RSteele It really is a shame that so many people feel this way about a game type that is only misunderstood because of bad examples. Well when bad examples are the only examples it's …
