    Dear everybody:

      There was a recent post from some person who just read something put 2+2 together to equal 7 and then posted here. Here's his OP

    Quote

    "why do you think this game is much more expensive than wow monthly fee? or any other p2p mmo.

    monthly is around 13$ but it only has around 300 playing timew limit per month...

    seriosly what makes this game so special?

    1. IP is unknown

    2. all UI interface is same like wow

    3. nothing new in combat. its the same as wow+cabal skill graphics+perfect world aerial combat

    4. graphic is nice=comparable to AOC

    So, tell me, why would i play this game over wow.war. or AOC

    and one more all of ncsoft game is not great..lineage 2? it suck"

    End Quote

     

    OK First of all this is the time limit for Korea.  They have passed laws over there and in all or most of the Asian countries because people would just play and play and play and then drop over dead. They wouldn't eat or anything and after a few deaths they made some laws to limit gameplay time.  Most of their ISP will shut them off after a set amount of time. 

    THERE WILL BE NO TIME LIMIT IN AMERICA

    1. IP is unkown - WHO CARES. So was EQ, DAOC, and so many other great mmo's

    2. UI is like WoW's. - Thank God.  Every UI should work like WoW's. There's a reason WoW is number 1 and their UI is a good part of that.  Point and Click and clunky UI's are a thing of the past. WoW's UI is amazing and I would hope that all other mmo's copy it.

    3. Nothing new in Combat then you mention Wow and AOC in the same sentence who's combat is completely different. Basically most mmo's use the same type of combat - sure it's nothing new but it's how they implement it that truly matters. 

    4. Graphics are some of the best I've ever seen blowing away AOC.  It's a breathtaking world with LOTS of eye candy.  If the gameplay is half as good as the graphics then we're in for a treat.

    5. Why would you want to play it? Lineage 2 sucks? Lineage 2 actually didn't suck and it has over 800,000 players each in both of it's main markets.  It didn't go well over here in the US but it was and Is a success.  It was actually a very good game.  The pvp was amazing and the graphics were stunning it just wasnt what us Westerners were used to.  Overseas - love grindfests , US - love casual.

     

    So please do a bit of research before posting. There has never been and never will be a time limit on how long you can play a mmo here in NA/EU

     

     

     

     

    Wait you made a mistake, let me correct you... 2 + 2 = 486

    It has opened the gates for a flood of simplified, cartoony, brainless e-sport garbage MMO titles. A new one comes out every few months...modeled after wow, trying to mimic it's "success"....and then fails miserably.

    Eventually, companies are going to stop financing MMO development as a result of the high risk investment.

    So..as a result of every new MMO trying to do "what wow did", instead of just making a good game for once, the whole MMO industry is going down the tubes.

    WoW is brainless. The crafting system is shit, the PVP system is shit, you don't even need to read the damn quests...just connect the goddamn dots as fast as you can so you can spam one attack in an instanced pvp battleground.

    Other games try to mimic this simplified shit, and so new games have little or no crafting, instanced pvp, simplified quest systems that all but lead you from point to point with with spotlights, the same lame-ass talent system (because skills and attributes and character development are too fucking complex), and color-coded "uber lootz". 

    

    Stop trying to turn the MMO genre into nothing but FPS games with loot.

    
     

    If i had air in a jar for every time i heard that exact same thing, you would all suffocate and die miserably. I agree with you no doubt, but holy shit, the train left the station 2 years ago.

    That is bullshit, I rarely see anybody in the lines who look normal enough to be married and have children who are old enough to play WoW. And i have never been on a Ventrilo/TS, or guild that has mostly kids in it. 99% of guilds in WoW are filled with 16+ And i have only seen 1 or 2 kids in a ventrilo room and they got kicked for being singing to freaking much.

    WoW has a mostly late teen to adult playerbase.

    I dont defend WoW, but i defend obvious facts, and since there are no facts on wow "age base" Then we go with what we see, and majority of people do not see a bunch of 5 yearolds, they see a bunch of 25 yearolds screaming and bitching about there ePiX like 5 year olds, and the occasional 5 yearold.

    Why do people relate newer MMO:s to WoW you ask?

    Because it's the largest MMO outside of asia.

    And probably because the average WoW player is a 12 to 14 year old boy that doesn't know much or any of the MMO:s from the golden days.

     

    The age stereotype has been proven wrong time and time again, but people still delight in throwing around numbers with no data to back them up.

    With that said, aside from the false age bracket, you have the right idea. WoW is the largest MMO, and a large majority of its playerbase has played nothing but WoW and have nothing else to compare new games to.

     

    It's not a stereotype, adults are a minority in WoW.

     

    
     

    then why is it that at every blizzcon, The BC store linups, the WOTLK store linups, and all that where around  60%  adults 21 and over, 30% young adults in early teens to 20, and very few little children 10 and under.  When i went with my friend to the WOTLK release night the line had about 200 people, and i saw nothing almost all adults or teenagers at least in HS. 

    Dont even try giving the "Well im getting it for my son crap" If any son of a parent played WOTLK, they would come with there parent to the release, Hell i even talked with alot of the people in the line, they all play WOW, my BOSS and 3 out of 7 co-workers play WOW... WoW is very mainstream, and it has invaded the workplace, and i am afraid to say that the majority is likely over 18. But than again, almost ALL mmo's have a playerbase around the "15 - 30" age zone.
