I have been following some current trends in the forums lately here on MMORPG.
Discussions have evolved over two up and coming titles. Tabula Rasa and Gods and Heroes. Basically are these games which are both in line to open soon..worth your money, and that monthly fee.
First up is Tabula Rasa, set for release in October. A fast paced and furious shooter with RPG as it's main focus. Combat is fast, uses a targeting system not unlike an FPS, but dice rolls work in the background to decide if you do damage or not..Skills based like most MMO's, it also allows some crafting, loot drops are nice, and character leveling is the order of the day.
The current talk is to charge for the box (49.99?) and then a $15 a month fee. But, what does the game offer to warrant your 15 bucks a month. Is the action enough to keep your interest?
As well...a recent post was made for Gods and Heroes on it's downsizing. Their reasoning is to make a leaner, meaner development machine....or is it really..
Is this title in trouble? And then if they continue developing, is there enough in this game to warrant your hard earned bucks. Their main focus is Questing and Fighting...and as an added bonus..Minion Collection...
Uh...thats it?
Crafting? Later...PvP...maybe more evolved....Later...Housing...unsure...heck ya can't even fish...
So...your paying 15 bucks a month to keep them afloat so you can do some killing...But, besides the setting...what more does GnH offer that makes it worth it...
Why not discuss...tell me your thoughts...How would you like to see these evolve, or are they enough now to take that money you earned..
I will try to flesh this out more as we go along...but, let me know what YOU think!

I'm with you all the way, it just seems like they're putting new skins on old games theses days. It's getting hard for me to justify putting down a monthly fee for the same old thing.
Agreed...I already have a sub to EQ2, so what would warrant me adding on another 15 bucks a month...when it will be about the same..
The only difference seems to be TR is Sci-Fi, and using guns...so a little more unique...but, note a new post I will be making about TR being a perfect model for a console title...if TR went this route, it could be a successful title.
GnH, has absolutely nothing new. Minions?...Guild Wars and Heroes..Queued combat?...EVERY MMO out..Quests? been there...Mob Grinding?...done that.
So...will some of the titles of next year do anything new to make me leave my comfortable postion..AoC or WAR even? What will make all of the WoW fans, LOTRO fans...leave ...especially if it doesn't offer anything new?
