-I see stupid people.. |
Stop making trash games... Cant make a kick ass game for $49.99 us and $12.00 month? Cant figure out why people keep trying new games in droves, only to go back to WOW a month later and bitch cuz all the new games dont even come close? Make a really kick ass game and charge $79.99 for it and charge $29.99/month....Be the first dev on the block to make a premium product. Heck..charge me $150.00 for it and $29.99/mth...just get me the hell outta WOW..... (I prefer a MMO set in space if anyones listening, but will settle for fantasy if i have to) Oh, and P.S. ..there wil be lots of kids who will reply to this lol'ing and /ranting about how noone would be able to afford it or if they could be willing to pay it.. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM FOR A SECOND...you will get an incredible following who will ALWAYS continue to pay for a quality product and will /applaud you for keeping away the riff raff. Can I get an AMEN brothers? |

Dev's will start "thinking outside of the box" the day the users "think outside of the box". There are a number of different and unique games that get few subscriptions, and a "horde" of players that play WoW because are "bandwagon" followers. Maybe your games suck, because your users suck. |

The simple truth is that as long as gamers keep shelling out money on "riff raff" (as you put it), the big companies will see no reason to change. |

Functionless Art is Simply Tolerated Vandalism... |
As long as people keep pre-purchasing games and they know the game is most likely still in beta(for months after release) but still buy it anyway companies will still be making and rushing games. Heres a suggestion. If a game is getting ready to be released try to control yourself and wait a few month to see what happens. |

MMORPG Character Monuments ...When its time for your character to take a well deserved rest... |
To be the devils advocate. If they are making millions on a proven blueprint, I dont blame the Devs. As much as the vocal minority (and yes, we are the minority) complain about needing something new...is a multimillion dollar company going to risk millions to take a risk and perhaps flop? ..when they know they will turn a profit if they follow the pack? Thats one reason why there are no longer leaps or "revolutionary' games...its all moving in small steps. Honestly, if I could make 5 million in a year just for turning out a WoW clone..I would too ...and I'd be comfortable with that |

Define "box".
Also, there are some things money cant buy. Yes, aparently it's hard for you to understand... but it's true. |

Originally posted by mccoyy Yeah. I guess I'll be one of the people who has to go 'lol'ing' and ranting on you. Find me someone who will actually play 150 dollars for a game, and then 30 dollars a month in the near future. It is clear you're over exaggerating about the price that you would pay to "get out of WoW". You are most likely talking out of your ass. And, if a developer were to charge this much, they would not be making a lot of money, since very few people will subscribe. Also, devs will keep making the same games because they don't want to take a risk (which is why I am in interested in games like CoS and APB). Devs that decide to go out on a limb and risk what they are doing to give a quality game to the players is what I enjoy. Personally, I will not play any of these asian grinders on the market, and most likely I will wind up waiting for one of the games I am looking forward to. Until the asian grinders stop making money, they will keep making games just like it and just hoping to get the same amount of subs that WoW has. (although they never will) |
