But i neeeeeeeeed an mmo that i can pay for years to come. Heres hoping its aoc!
I grew up in an mmo with a heavy emphasis on unorganized/world/open pvp.
Where you lost gear if you pk too much, but if was enemy guild or player you could pk 3x more.
There was zeri safe zones except market map.
where if your items dura goes to 0 its gone forever, where max level took years, when you died from pvp you lost potentially 10-20hrs of grinding worth exp.
You drop inventory items if you die. No such thing as bound items.
Skills also took years to get max level.
Where combat was 20% gear based 80% skill based.
Same set of gear was worked on from day 1.
Gear was basically impossible to max out even for very heavy paying person. It would take years to do it that way.
Pvping people hunting for their loot
Mmos are too soft these days.
Even if they would do everything they planed, those things sounds good, but not enough to make a game successful:
-Most of the players aren't like complex stuff. For example: the market what they design already kill most of the players ability to trade. Politic, grinding, control over resources, FFA PvP they aren't things that the masses like. There are players who like that, but that only enough for like 20-50k peak online player count, and that's aren't too high.
-Also the most important part of a MMO is the combat and balance. We don't know anything about it. If they put it full of pointless crap just to make it look shiny and "unique", it doesn't going to have a bright future.
But i rather be a Troll.
or Ogre ingame.
But i be the stargazer Orc for now.
MUST.... RESIST.... THE URGE...
DO NOT...GET....EXCITED....
But it's soooooo hard ^^.
Kasyee just embrace it :-)
I thought my sig was kind of plain compared to many of the absolute works of art some have created.
It has a simplicity that tells a story, and the placement is attractive to the eye.
I got prison-fucked by EQ Next, and Shroud of the Avatar is nothing like I hoped it would turn out. You can definitely put me in the "Tired of Being Burned" category. But I feel like if you're not ready to commit, then don't. So I did.
Brrrr... Shroud of the avatar.
Lol.
If I personally thought there was a good chance this venture were going to succeed I would be on their doorstep with cash ready to invest. But they don't yet have the people capable of creating the IP to make this work in the next couple of years. -- The Integrated Development Environment (ney even a complete engine) for this game doesn't yet exist, the backend network stack doesn't yet exist, generally affordable consumer hardware to run the game doesn't exist, consumer Internet bandwidth isn't yet good enough, the player base to sustain the game may not exist. So many disparate puzzle pieces need to fit in order to get this game off the ground, and more to sustain it. I've only touched on the most glaring examples I thought of quickly.
I have low confidence this game will ever launch... But like the rest of you, I sincerely hope I am proven wrong on every point and them some.
Peace.
Pretty stoked about this game. I hope the word gets out, and we can get some new people in while the getting's good. Look at me... sound like a commercial lol. Its true though, its a great time to get in if you haven't already. $25 start... seriously... if you are reading this and you have not yet bought in.... look at this as the last chance, just say'n.. gamer to gamer.... its the real thing... just do it!
It's been years since a game in development has attracted this quality level of attention, I think.
But that being said, I'll be flying a Constellation and mining in both a Orion and Prospector when that fated day arrives... >.>
