With the way most of them work now ... to me I don't see why that isn't a viable option. So instead of keeping people playing by making lvling, gear, rep grinds retardedly difficult ... how about you just keep the scenery changing to hold peoples interest. Ya ya I know that would require better support ... but what the fuck ... blizzard is making fucking shit piles and shit piles of cash ... mark my words the next generation of MMOs is going to be like that. True ever changing worlds that in and of themselves hold players interests indefinitely ... and I'm not talking cheesy homo seasonal bullshit ... I'm talking about truly massive worlds that are staggeringly large with new instances opening constantly, etc. WoW is a big pile of shit chat room ... yet if anyone wants to de-hypnotize people they need to really blow the doors off the MMO genre ... to date no one has come close to doing that. As you said Will they are just recycling the tired old UO/EQ/DoA/WoW mechanics ... its time for truly path breaking MMOs.The Lord of Excesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844701226225155792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128492035551042878.post-20580717625946976132010-02-10T19:56:28.997-07:002010-02-10T19:56:28.997-07:00This is sad news indeed.

The WH IP lends itself such depth and range that these games do not require the classic MMO feel. Why dont they make an awesome world where you can link up with 2 - 10 friends and explore a deep universe for an hour or 12 if you want or can? MMOs in general just piss me off. Gear, grind, stupid.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417688336214858203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128492035551042878.post-73485520128871835182010-02-05T22:02:58.936-07:002010-02-05T22:02:58.936-07:00I think they just take a real short term view with...I think they just take a real short term view with video games. I think they see their core business as just the mini games ... for whatever reason ... and they just look to make a quick buck on the rest. Its like farming out all their board games to FFG. That seems to be their MO ... make mini games and farm the rest out. I wish I had a few hundred million bucks ... I'd buy em ... and milk their glorious IP to billions.The Lord of Excesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844701226225155792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128492035551042878.post-70795922971149464592010-02-05T13:16:50.693-07:002010-02-05T13:16:50.693-07:00What I wanna know is how THQ manages to even stay ...What I wanna know is how THQ manages to even stay in business. Have they ever made a good game? Who buys their shit? You are right LOE it will be trash. As we have discussed many times GW has some of the best IP out there, but for what ever reason they license it to the worst people suited to represent it.Bodlarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644846115642316285noreply@blogger.com
