If DAOC was your first mmo, be warned NO mmo no matter how good or mind blowing will ever give you that feeling again. Sorry.

Same principle applies to all games.

We're like chicks who want the PERFECT love story and nothing less.

Hoping for or expecting "that same feeling" from an old/original online love is just an impossible expectation. As we get older, we have to admit our sense of wonder from a quality online game will deteriorate and that we change.

Folks keep screaming that games arent as fun as they used to be, but i suspect young kids just discovering online PC gaming are having the same wonder we did back in the day.

We've just grown up and look back romantically, expecting the impossible.

I give every MMO 1+ yr after release a chance to work out the kinks and smooth out the icing.

I wish there was more of asherons call in modern MMORPGs.

no classes I loved, the world was 1000x better then any in any other game, on darktide due to claiming towns no town was a ghost town because the small useless towns were used to be the smaller guilds.

patches every month that not only changed abilities in game, or added content but were storyline patches every month it went foward and something usually big happened. The world felt like a living and breathing world, where anything could change, destroying the most populaur town in the game for instance. Devs having a long reaching story arc and actually giving updates to it at a reasonable pace. It seems like such an easy thing to do I dont get why they dont do it, hell if you used wow as an example it would be so easy to they are just lazy.

Wows world was dead and just bland.

not everything of AC but parts of it could be awsome in modern games. Mostly how alive the world felt.

Well, what you don't like, tell them. It is a Beta after all. You have the privilege of being a Beta tester with a direct voice to the development team. The game can still change, and you can be a catalyst for that change.

It's a Closed Beta for a reason. Be a tester and tell them about your experience, for better or worse. That's what you're there for.

Well said. I have fond memories of EQ but I think a lot of that was because it was my first MMO.

I do think Tribes was something special. It was a game ahead of its time and still is. I thought there would be another FPS by now that would've delivered like Tribes but everytime I play one I end up disappointed. I wish those fucks at Sierra would just release the god damn source code already so we could slap some new graphics on it and come up with some new maps. Tribes was and probably always will be the best game ever.

Regarding the topic of this thread though I agree. I guess I got my hopes up too much for this one. It's way too early to be overly judgmental but they have a LOT of work ahead of them if this one is going to be anything other than a huge disappointment.

Yeah... I'm not sure if we'll ever see the return of older style mmorpgs. The effort that you put into games like EQ are viewed as a negative these days. The new standard seems to be fast and easy.

Personally, all WAR has to do is have better PvP than WoW. If they can pull that off (and it shouldn't be too hard), I think I'll be happy enough with the end result.

Yea, WoW pvp in its current state is barely stimulating at best; arenas equate to a boring death match that has less to do with skill than with class makeup (lame). No game has grabbed me the way Tribes did, and while I do not play Tribes anymore, I still feel it was ahead of its time and would be just as relevant if it was released tomorrow for the 1st time. I used to get adrenaline rushes right before big matches in Tribes (not in t2 though) and I have not felt that in a game since. I like WoW pvp to a point, but, with no ranked CTF, it's getting old. If Warhammer can grab me like Tribes did, WoW will be a thing of the past.
