you fucked up
There isn't any evidence of anything other than high fantasy being what people want. City of heroes fail, Matrix online fail, Anarchy online fail, whatever that stupid futuristic one with the strippers fail. The majority wants what they can immediately recognize.
Not to say high fantasy can't fail, just a much bigger chance breaking from the norm.
Well, if you want people who won't grovel or kiss ass this is the place to come.
90+% of the MMO community plays Fantasy based MMO's. I love fantasy.
I spent 23 years making stupid money and saving. I did all that and decided this would be our next ride, staking pretty much everything I'd made over that 23 years.
I sure as HELL wasn't going to make a game that I couldn't be passionate, excited and in love with from day 1 through the end. That wasn't going to happen in a western, sci-fi or some other genre, it was going to be fantasy.
Bottom line is I put my money where my mouth is, and sometime in the next 5-10 years I'll know whether I made a mistake or not.
I'm pretty comfortable saying I didn't, today, now.
pfft. This is the most ass-kissingest community out there. This thread is now going to explode simply because he's posting.
2) Kissing butt brings out the other extremist, the ones who'll say anything and call me anything just to be in the 'opposing camp' and be allowed to say "I don't kiss anyone's ass" for the sake of saying it.
If you aren't interested in them, or hate me, don't click on the threads.
to vir:
no, youre right. but in the same point youre wrong. case in point - T:V dev team thinking this place would give ample feed back to correct ongoing mistakes throughout development
i like the comment about the fantasy world being "stale" when books go back decades. that makes me laugh.
im interested mostly because i grew up reading a few of salvatores novels. what year did his son graduate from tufts? a few wow guildies graduated from there last year, would be interesting if they knew him...
and yeah, to curt (i guess) dont come here expecting to change anyone's minds or get any rave reviews unfortunately. this place is a cold, dark wasteland of anger and criticism lol.
I'm still wondering how we get any new members at all. This is a ten year old forum dedicated to a game no one plays.
