  • To you people who cannot imagine why Hello Kitty would put an MMO ...  there are tons of girls who do not currently MMO.  This is a chance to get them hooked on the genre.   I thought we were all capitalists on these boards ... you guys should have figured that out already.

    I'm on the fence on weather GW is skill based or not.

     

    
     

    you just get skills you dont train them put 8 on action bar thats it.

    True skill based is through progressing, through advancment in the game and train all kinds of skills you gain more powerfull attacks or other upgrades so you become stronger not through lvls or just buy a skill and click it in your action bar  to activate skill hehe.

    
     

    The only games of any sort that I am aware of that has the level progression you seek are the Elder Scrolls games, Morrowind and Oblivion.  Too bad that Bethesda has repeatedly stated that they will never make an Elder Scrolls MMO.

  • "Lotro is a fine game. But given that you left Lotro to try out Aoc, tells us something, you were tired of Lotro and wanted something new."

     

    It wasn't so much that I was "tired of Lotro", but, I must admit, I got caught in the hype for AoC (a mistake I will not make again).   Just because you like prime rib doesn't mean you are abandoning it because you wanted to try the rack of lamb.  In this case the rack of lamb (AoC) was undercooked, ill-prepared and served up by moron waiters (FailCom).

    and yet dear Mr. OP you post this posts anyways...

    What really is interesting is the Blizzard'hs chairman was out saying that yes, we do see people leaving to try out AoC, 40% of them returns to us. That actually means that 60% doesnt return but stay in AoC. Thats a lot. Funcom must have done something right in that game.

     

    Not at all.  Just because 40% of the playerbase return to WoW doesn't mean the other 60% percent will stay with AoC.  Quite of few of them migrated to EQ2, LoTRo, or simply quitting mmo all together.

    
     

    I seriously doubt that is the case. They might have stopped playing in anticipation of Warhammer, but going back to EQ2 or Lotro, would be such a step backwards that you might as well calculate them totally out of MMO's industry numbers.

    
     

    I, and a lot of others, went back to LotRO, after the AoC debacle.  Why is it a step backwards to go back to a game you enjoyed?  Just because I wanted to try out AoC does not mean that there was, or is, anything wrong with LotRO.  Like any other game, some are going to like it, and some aren't.   The fact that you referred to a return to LotRO as "such a step backwards" indicates you do not like LotRO.  So be it.  But, do not assume that because others return to a game YOU do not like means they are stepping backwards.  Besides, how do you know they have not "stopped playing [AoC] in anticipation of " Mines of Moria?
