• • PLEASE, PLEASE adopt the WOW approch to PVP

    Dear Developers:

    I am constantly amazed that MMO games get developed with a strong emphasis on PVP. Frankly, i HATE PVP. Not that I am aginst one on one, which is somewhat honorable,but usually PVP turns out to be a gank fest of 6 on one or it starts after a player is engaged in RVR,which is also unfair..

    The most successful MMORPG game in history is WOW. Why not adopt their strategy? Have some servers with very limited PVP unless consensual and some with wide open PVP except for starting areas. This would appeal to everyone.

    Also, as with WOW, instead of forcing folks into PVP, you can have a few ( and I mean a very few) zones that are PVP oriented and give some good rewards. Thus, you would be using the carrot vs. the stick approach. You can even have special PVP events found in "arena" types of zones.

    If you are going to put PVP in all servers, then at least make it painless with cheap insurance or little penalty for ship destruction,

    If you want to maximize your player potential and therefore profitability, you will adopt my suggestions.

     

    This doens't sound like your game taxguy.  Eve isn't your game either. 

     

    One thing you need for Eve, (i'm not sure about jumpgate evo), is that you need friends.  Strength is in numbers.  You need a corporation to hang out with and run stuff with them.  That is how you don't get constantly blown up.  And lets face it.  Getting blown up is fun and enacting revenge on enemies is even more fun.  It means more when the stakes are real.  Not the pansy WoW just die over and over again attitude.

    Earthrise
• • Looking for more than a refuge? Actually want a good sci-fi sandbox? Don't want to wait 5+ years? The answer awaits you.

  • Earthrise does seem pretty cool.  Any info on how to join beta?

    Star Wars Galaxies
• • Will you leave your game for War?

  • What do you vote for when you aren't playing an MMO?  I havnen't played one for a few months now.  Before that it was a month of CoH, a month of EQ2, a few months of WoW, a month of AoC.

    Maybe I'm a professional game switcher. 

     

    Edit:  AoC has really nice graphics besides that I thought it was mediocre.

     Though some may not like WoW, I must admit that that is a pretty awesome patch they have planned.

     

    Sure Inscription sounds awesome.  But besides that does anything else really entice you?  Not me.  Hair customization, should've been in a long time ago.  Sure WotLK sounds like a cool expansion, but with War I won't have time for it.  Unless of course I don't want a life, which is what Blizz really wants.
