Because hype is meaningless, and a good game will survive on its own merits?

Agreed.

Hype almost always leads to major let downs. Once a game comes out, all it needs is a little advertising and word of mouth.

Because the bad MMOs hype everyone into believing that thier MMO will be the best ever, spending all thier money on hype/promotion and not on the game itself.

Yea some games need hype good games more often speak for themselves. Also I think as development continues there will be a bit more buz behind TCoS. With every diary and vid released more interest seems to be gathered.

It's not necessarily that good or bad games are over or under hyped. I really think the company just goes "oh. . our game sucks. start the over-hyping drive!" or if they have a good game, they just sit there and laugh at everyone else.

Hype = customer expectation & loyalty = word of mouth = viral marketing = free PR.

I would think there's something wrong if the devs think TCOS doesn't need any of that.

Last time I checked to hype still meant: to promote or publicize extravagantly. And the hype is causes is bases on unrealistic expectations. The Devs of Spellborn dont seem to like unrealistic expectations. Maybe that is why they always show real in game videos, unlike some other games I know.
