Almost all games are released too early. What's the one that kept getting pushed back and pushed back? Oh yeah, WoW. Was it perfect at release? Hell no! But there's something to be said for releasing a near-finished product vs. rushing something to market. Will devs ever learn? Maybe some day. IMO, the MMO community is growing less friendly towards those that release games too early. But yeah, define "too early". That is the key.

There's far more evidence that this game doesn't exist than evidence that it does. Simple economics points towards it doesn't.

Way past time for them to do that IMO.

Have you not played WoW? You can get PvP gear in no time at all that totally owns gear that PvErs spend hours trying to get.

If you want swords, axes, and deamons, that's like 90% of the MMO's on the market. Take a stab in the dark and you're bound to find a MMO that has those features.

How people can cling to a non-existent MMO that is based on nothing but promises and dreams is beyond me.......

Or if this is simply a revamped JG (whcih I don't think it will be), don't expect big numbers. JG is/was an awesome game but it's not for everyone. In order to draw in more numbers, there needs to be more diversity. I for one agree with the comment about EnB's craft system. That was frustrating as hell but I always had something to do  I haven't seen a system like that since. Fun times.

To the devs: don't release it until it's done. As much as I hate waiting, I would prefer to play a MMO that is largely ready to play than one that feels like a beta.

Unfinshed, buggy content seems to be a recurring theme in MMO releases lately. TR had a lot of the same complaints. I really wish developers would listen to their audiences and stop releasing games before they're ready. It only drives off potential subscribers. I'm not saying the game needs to be bug-free, but the content should feel finalized and the bugs should be minor.

Maybe this game doesn't exist? Why would you expect anything from a developer that's been making a game for 8 years?

War will be just like AoC I'm afraid.

WOW!!!!! (no pun intended) To imply that EA is as good as Blizzard with regards to MMO's is ludicrous. EA is good at sports games that it can reproduce each year but it's track record in MMO's is dismal at best.

 

EAMythic

Mythic = Creating the MMO

EA = Giving Mythic money ($ $ $ $ $) to make the MMO

 

= EA will be the one to pull the plug on this game in less than 3 years

Don't hink it's possible? Look at EA's MMO track record.

I agree with the OP. Fantasy has been played. Since EQ, fantasy has been the defacto standard for MMO's. I'm not implying that fantasy MMO's should die. I'm just saying that sword swinging, magic shooting, anything with elves, will likely be viewed as more of the same. A game's setting does have something to do with its appeal.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

2. Content. Was the game even tested past level 30?

That seems to be a recurring theme in the vast majority of new releases. I have no idea why games are released that aren't ready to be played to the end. Releasing a MMO premature is the quickest way to kill even the best game. Eventually, hopefully, publishers will learn...

Nah. Your graphics will be similar (minus any differences in the displays).

You can install more than one but yeah, more than one and they start fighting with each other and you have all sorts of problems. Just pick one and uninstall the other.

Hehe what did you expect??

Why did you choose to post this in the AoC thread?
