saintfrancisnudecenterfold Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Or even from the cesspool. Say, what do you think Obsidian is doing with their MMO? Any guesses?
Pidesco Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 What MMO? "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Musopticon? Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Exact same reaction. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Dark_Raven Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 No MMOs here. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Hassat Hunter Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) OMG It's saintfrancisnudecenterfold... Can I get your autograph... only forummember to get totally abused by Joseph Bulock for being totally unrealistic and insulting? ... Note how I wrote your name correct this time Mr. Bulock... please don't harm me EDIT; Now that I think about it, Centerfold; Do you still confuse BioWare and Obsidian with each other (seeing the thread you do)...? Edited October 25, 2006 by Hassat Hunter ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

Hurlshort Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Well, I don't mind talking about the Bioware/Sega MMO... I think the setting will be fantasy, because every other frickin game that has had success has gone down that road. I would prefer a post-apocalyptic setting. Basically a Fallout MMO. No damn vehicles either...they should come up with some oil theory behind that.
Big Bottom Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Feargus has gone on record saying that he doesn't want to do an MMO. The best flash game ever!
mkreku Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 ^ Feargus. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Atreides Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 He didn't say he didn't want to, just that they'd need to carefully consider whether Obsidian was prepared for the consequences of managing one. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Sand Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I would say if Obsidian does make an MMO they should go the Bioware route and make a separate studio dedicated to managing it. Also they should follow the Guild Wars model. Best MMO I have ever played. I am actually liking it.

I am actually liking it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> agreed, because it is a 24-7 proposition...you need real-time admins, phone support, etc. I say companies like Obsidian should explore alternate means of multiplayer, using NWNs as the prime example and exploring premium content downloads (also something BioWare has done). What I like about the 360 is that you can get what amounts to a debit card for premium content...I don't like the idea of using an actual credit card for something like that.

No matter how you twist, turn and/or abuse it, MMO's are about Grinding Looting Levelling And not the best designer in the world could find a workaround. Many have tried, all have failed. Most MMO's doesnt even have fun combat which makes it even worse.

It's really just a series of chat rooms with small instances you can join. That means it's much easier to manage. DDO is the same way, except they charge you money to play every month.

The main reason I quit playing is that people kept complaining that I was moving too slow (those few instances where you have some other player with you). I will probably continue playing once I get a suitable gaming rig.

I really hope they can maintain their bottom line with just expansions. It also sounds like it's one of the best games for PvP, although that doesn't interest me personally. I just don't consider it a MMO
Sand Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Well, its not the typical MMO and that is why I probably like it.
