• • Atlantica Online: Dev Journal - On the Combat System

  • I have to agree with everyone here.  I couldn't even read the whole article, I started reading it and got disgusted.  I'm kind of getting bored of MMO's, until one comes out that really wow's me I'm may just stick with online poker and single player games.  I see all these awesome single player games that have come out and that are coming out and I think "if only mmo's could be like this", but their not.  Maybe APB, CrimeCraft, or Earthrise will bring some fresh air into the industry, but who knows.

• • Face of Mankind: Rebirth: Game Cancelled

  • I'm not suprised, the game was pretty bad.  If someone picks it up hopefully they have talent and totally rework it.

    Apart from this being ridiculous, I personally find giving that sort of detailed information out on a website, to be UNWISE even if you DO have the info TO give.  Who in their right mind is going to type in their most personal identification information over a connection that isn't even SSL?  They ask for your birthday, address, and passport?  Uhm....no.  It said something also, that made me think they might ask for a social security number in lieu of a passport number.  Well there is NO WAY IN HELL I'm putting my name, birthdate, address, phone number and SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER over a non-secured webform.  HOW STUPID.

     

    I just added everything fake (as I do with every free mmo) and it worked.  Put in a fake passport number and everything.

    This game look like it could be really good.  A good sci-fi game with a good premise.

• • F2P will never work. P2P is the only way

    people moan and want all games to be f2p.

    but it will never work. if you have ever played a f2p and dont want to pay you have no chance of getting anywhere in the game.

    the game is so overpwerd by the people who buy cas shop items to boost there charecters that it forces you to pay awell (which then means its not a f2p)

    so P2P is the only way to have a game balanced for everyone. no one is higer than anyone else just becuse they decide to spend a bit more money.

    
    You are way wrong.  I've played many F2P games where I got over level 100 and was able to kick butt over people who payed for stuff.  You have to know what games to play and how to play them.  People who like P2P games have to justify paying for them, pretty sad.
