Most games are in development for years. AAA Games are generally in development for many years. In fact, by the time it actually releases, Cyberpunk 2077 will have been in development for nearly a decade! The biggest differenc…
In MMORPGs around years 2010-2012.
It became apparent that Companies are unwilling/unable to
1. Provide well scripted combat AI for all mobs
2. Provide fun non-skinner box gameplay
3. Provide faster pace of hand-made content
4. Provide cheat free …
It reflects state of MMORPG genre/industry.
Same diminishing audience that is angry about same old long-standing problems that keep staying unresolved.

No but the constraints of a MMORPG are tremendous in comparison to a single player game.
It's orders of magnitude different - so style an imagination are not getting lost - just the reality of client-server code with 1000s of pla…
It is not a douch move.
This is actually honest sales, actual product for actual price, like ticket to cinema or similar.
Much better than any microtransactions/cash shops.
I complain about P2W and T2W, but I would not play a game with official botting.
I don't really feel a need to explain why - I would simply not play it / stop playing it once they would implement it.

I don't know about "fair" but there is a difference.
Playing a game is all about spending time in it presumably because you enjoy the time you spend playing it. Paying extra to avoid spending time in a game s…

Often I am told that the ephemeral concept of "P2W" is bad. The definition is sketchy and seems to boil down to whatever personal experience imposes upon it.
But there seems to be a consensus of opinion in certain quarters…

Dragon Age games, yes even Dragon Age : Origins are games overloaded with pointless filler combat.
While all crpg/single player rpgs have this to certain extent, Bioware seems to overload their games with it more and more.
Just compare Baldur's Ga…

For truly better/harder mobs you would need 2 things:

I haven't played EQ1 so I cannot comment on mobs there. What they did diffrently aside of having very long 'agroo follow' ? (I read about eq1 'mob trains').
As for Pantheon - no chance. Won't touch indie MMORPG with a 5 feet pole.

Big backer of Crowfall but NOT supportive of any silly "Soft Launch" verbiage.

I will be brutally frank.
I am not interested in Indie MMORPGs or even AA ones for that matter.
I just cannot go back to non-AAA graphics, content quality, animations, sound, overall polish, support quality, etc in MMORPG if I ever decide to play …
