im kidding lol. But seriously if it does fail its gonna suck for me lolz. At one point while waiting for AOC I had a mindset already in place "If AOC fails theres always WAR" lol. Now WAR is my only hope to keep me busy till biowares MMO lol

Anywayz Im just wondering what MMO's are u guys going back to lol? Im going back to WoW

 

You seriously do need to get a life m8.   Have you discovered females yet ?

If it fails you can say you were part of it .

Hehe If you were a true MMO gamer you would know theres the time u spend with your girl and the time u play your fav MMO lol. I think us married men can all agree to this ((MMO playing married men at least))

If WAR, in some stroke of bad luck, fails then it is back to WoW.  If Champions Online fails, then it is back to CoH.  I still got backups that I do enjoy.  I want to avoid WoW because it is growing into a beast I don't like, but I know I can withstand that beast and still enjoy the game.

lol ya i know what u mean hehe

WAR will not fail, because is a already good game, and will need absolutelly horrible changes to make it a bad game.

But WAR is not addictive, so you will need others MMOS *anyway*, even If WAR sucess and you are in.  I suggest could be a good idea to try some F2P games.   Maybe ryzom, atlantica online, air rivals...  maybe try a different gente: FPS, something like BF2 or Frontlines. There will be soon a few singleplayer games, like Diablo 3, starcarft 2, fallout 3. ... theres ZERO originality on these games, as you can see are <something> <number>, but anyway will be well crafted, of high quality, so will be good games.   AION will release soon, theres another good game.

PC gaming is dying.. so maybe PC gamers sould let the open source and freeware community have more players. Saubretaun seems very high on Xfire.  Tremulous is a very good game. Army of Earth has ben show in the frontpage of Fileplanet.  Maybe gamers have to download more of that open source games, and the mod community evolve to a open source game making community.   Console have clones most PC features, but console games are still dumbeddown crap.  So PC gaming is diing, because the devs have moved to consoles. The ones that stay are few, and sparce. Something has to be made now.    MMORPG games are still alive, because is hard to make then for consoles (and is hard to update a game for console, because all the autoritative microsoft /sony/nintendo crap)  but is like a isle in a land of destruction. Everywhere else, PC gaming is dyiing, or mortally wounded.

I really wasn't that bothered about WAR up until recently. 

Having played many MMOs and had varying sucess and addictions to them all, WAR just wasnt on my radar.

When you've been playing EQ2 on/off for 4 years, i wondered what all the hype was surrounding other MMOs, especially with EQ2 being seriously underestimated and overlooked by too many people.  IMHO its the most complete and visually satisfying MMO out there.

But the closer WAR gets to release, and having got a tiny taster in PW, I can say Im really looking forward to it.  Mythic know how to do MMOs and so long as they dont fail on the basics, the fundamentals of what a fantasy MMO is all about, the game should succeed.

Built for RvR is the key thing, like DAoC (damn i've even resubscribed and been playing a bit of that to kill some MMO time waiting for WAR).

I just hope further down the line there's a FFA pvp server, but maybe there won't be as simply I cant see how it will work given how the RvR mechanics are.

WAR won't fail hopefully and SOE won't be seeing my cash again for a while, probably...

It won't fail. I'm absolutely positive it, everything I've seen from Mythic is leagues better than the dedication towards the game we saw from Funcom.

The other thing these days is - there's no loyalty or patience with MMOs that arent mustard from day one.

Years back when there were only 2 or 3 options, you had no choice but to remain loyal and be patient whilst the game was continually developed and expanded after release. 

These days, we all want things instantly and if something doesn't make the grade out the box, we give the developers very little time to sort it, and probably rightfully so.  Why should we be paying for unfinished products - you wouldnt go buy a new car that hadn't been painted and polished would you!

So failure of games like AoC, Vanguard etc the developers and publishers are the ones to blame.

WAR looks to be a game where it'll be releases when its done, not under pressure from a greedy publisher who ultimately shoots themselves in the foot by giving the developer a deadline and cutting the budget.

If you don't know what you want from an MMO then it may be the case that WAR fails to deliver. I think it will be successful for a lot of people that want exactly what WAR is offering - Reward based RvR.

All this "ZOMG BUGS!" whining is getting old. Why do people play CoX? Why do people play Ryzom? Hell, why did people play FoM? Because they found the game that met their requirements. WAR is offering to meet a LOT of peoples requirements, there will always be whiney ass 'I WANT A PERFECT GAME BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT I WANT IT TO DO' idiots and they will happily donate £30 towards the game the rest of us will be happy to play.
