General Discussion

Why is it I see so many threads about AoC,WAR and even Aion as being the next and only thing for the future of MMO`s and not 1 word on TCOS,Is it because it isnt dragged under there nose everytime they switch there pc on,Or is it because they follow the mob,Or maybe they think "if it aint hyped it aint good"

The MMO industry is in a right slump and it has alot to do with alot of new players joining because of wow,Now it seems if it doesnt follow the mainstream or have masses of hype them so called gamers wont follow it or indeed even look at it.

Guys come out of the box  and see not every game is a "follow the yellow brick road"game that wow is/was and help move this industry forward,I aint a TCOS fanboy,How could I be it isnt even released but it sure is taking the right steps.

Sure TCoS is a MMO to wait for. But dont forget Fallen Earth, Infinity and some other ones that really stands out from the crowd.

I would think that there's a bigger fuss about games like WAR and AoC because of the names.  Everyone recognises them.  Aion, probably because of the fame of the publisher.  I haven't seen as much of a fuss with Spellborn but I have noticed people, in the past and presently, mentioning it.  There seems to be quite a lot of people hoping for the best... me too!

One thing you all forget about to is the group of people who just don't talk. I Have played almost all of the mmo's on the list here to the left <<<< but I haven't been like yo aion AoC or WaR is gonna be hot!!! But I do understand your point. But Just let it go and know what you want to play or what your waiting for man.

The biggest mistake MMO fans make is putting too much stock in products that are not yet released.

It's understandable.  We all long for that "perfect" MMO to suit our needs.  MMOs are a huge commitment, and when we see a reputable studio making promises, or at least predictions about their next big property, we all wait with baited breath.

But the disappointments are far more common than the success.  People should focus their energy on enjoying what they have, not what they might have next year. 

 Don't get me wrong.  I have high hopes for the future of MMOs.  One of these days, many of the millions of WoW-addicted teens are going to grow up and demand some with more depth.  Where theres' a fee, there's a way.

or even Darkfall if that ever comes out...

The only thing a gamer knows best is what he/she likes for themselves. Period.

TCOS is only being released in EU(As of now). And this being a heavy crowded forum with americans, its understandable.

What in the hell is a TCOS?  Is that like- that thing that you're not sposed to violate when you log in to an MMO?

And any gamer that knows best knows well enough to stay away from MMOs until they de-baby-fy them again for "big kids."
