• • Which MMO would you pick for a graphics/UI redesign?

  • Planetside and WW2OL are the two that could use a UI/overlay redesign.

• • So much for Firefly...

  • A buffy MMO? Really? You're kidding me..? I just don't see that happening.. well not successfully.. (i'm not insulting you or anything.. just personal opinion)

     

    Though I would like to see a Firefly MMO in the near future. So long as they don't glue the game to the story in the series/movie and delve more into the Expanded Universe of the theme... it could be HUGE.

    A starship with each player having a role (party).

    new worlds to explore ...

     

    MMMM I would play it no doubt.

    SW is too fantasy like. Give me the SF of ST:TNG

    And please !!!! no EVE. That's not a game, that's spreadsheet for handicapped persons sitting in their eternal chairs. I want to WALK on a planet.

     

    Err- You have realized there is STO in development right? Star Ttrek? Space ships and walking on planets? Granted.. the whole party ship thing was scrapped.. but still.

     

    I dunno though- I really hope if it is a Star Wars MMO being developed that it isn't KotOR... I mean. Galaxies set itself in a new theme. Now it was just shortly after ANH- but the movies hadn't covered on that. They just skipped to ESB. Leaving gaps in between. I hope it goes after the KotOR yet before the movies started. Before luke. There's a HUGE gap there and it would give the developers a lot of room to stretch and work with.

    WAR however will definitely NOT break WoW... not that WoW is unbeatable.. but WAR IMHO is crap. I got into the open beta and uninstalled it the same day. It's just not my type of game I guess... but it certainly won't beat the fame WoW brought unto itself.

     

    Maybe a Starcraft MMO would do as well with Blizzard behind the reigns.. since Blizzard seem to be MMO chiefs.

    
    Regardless of WHAT genre the next MMO falls under.. I really hope it's fantastic. I feel like we're living in a ghost town who's well dried up. We're thirsty and lonely. We need something new, something interesting. The only "new" things that come along are either poorly done and scrapped from previous games or just a renamed copy of another game already released. Bleh!

    
    I'm so bored...

     

     

    Edit:

     

    and for clarity. STOP saying WoW is the greatest game ever. It isn't. Its simplistic and casual. Most people get involved, get bored and then leave only to drift back because the tide showcases nothing else of interest. WoW is the king of mediocracy and arrived at the right time when there was a beginning dry-spell of MMOs, much like the one we're in now. Notice how there isn't this gigantic excitement for WotLK compared to BC? Thats because WoW has reached its' prime and has begun a spiral down. Not to say it will suddenly be canceled.. no.. but all MMOs have a life span;

    Hype -> Release - > Growth -> Sucess/Failure -> Prime -> Decline -> Drift -> Cancellation.

    Wow has JUST entered the Decline phase of its life cycle. Because of WoW's success it will likely stay in Decline for a very long time. Sub numbers will diminish and then grow some, dimish and stabalize. This will go on and on until it reaches Drift where the subs will primarily level out for good. Cult followers will remain with the game while the majority move onto the newer games. Eventually Blizzard will close the serversa nd shut the game down for good. However- How long until the cancellation date is unknown. Some games, created over ten years ago are still running. Others have lasted less than two.

     

    Now- I'm not saying WoW is bad... or sucks... it's just an MMO.. it's not immortal in any sense.

• • Worst MMO's of all time Thread

  • 1. Post-NGE SWG

    2. Horizons

    3. Most Eastern-MMOs

     

    Reasons;

     

    1. I loved Pre-CU SWG. I don't care that someone else didn't. I did. I had a good thing going and had tons of fun, and plenty of contacts. It changed, and look what happened. Besides,  Pre-CU SWG and Post-NGE SWG are two entirely different games.

     

    2. So much potential in this one. SO MUCH. But it absolutely failed in it's first steps. I really do mourn for this game as again, it had so much potential. I was really hoping Horizons would have been great, I was even waiting for it pre-launch. Oh well- It's not even on the radar really anymore.

     

    3. Most of them are quick-crap. They're micks of each other down to the combat system. There are a few that stand out and are actually impressive.. but for the most part they're all the same.. and force micro transactions on you. Blah!

• • Native American Games

  • Prey and (as i mentioned before) the Tauren in Wow are all well and great but Prey is about aliens. Not Native American life. It's more an inclusion, than featured. Much like the Tauren. The game isn't about the Native American society, it's just another theme. Such as the Trolls being Jamaican, Drenai being Russian-like, and so forth.
