mcmanusaur Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Let's be serious; all the good RPG series (The Old Republic, Elder Scrolls, etc.) these days are being made into fancy, newfangled MMO's. It practically goes without saying that the MMORPG model is proven to offer the benefit of a greater social gaming experience with absolutely no costs with regard to narrative depth, mechanics, graphics, or any other measure of quality, so what's there to lose? Should Project Eternity be next?
Darkpriest Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 3rd option... No and even more of a NO... MMO = lack of quality in the narrative part... 26
Death Machine Miyagi Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 The use of the word 'MMO' on this board should be punished by public flogging. 38 Álrêrst lébe ich mir werde, sît mîn sündic ouge siht daz here lant und ouch die erde, der man sô vil êren giht. ez ist geschehen, des ich ie bat: ích bin komen an die stat, dâ got menischlîchen trat.
Karkarov Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Let's get the ip established and make a good first game to start aye? We can worry about making a grindy game with more than likely subpar gameplay after the hopeful financial success of the first release. Example of how not to go about making an MMO - 38 Studios Kingdom of Aumalur.
mcmanusaur Posted November 4, 2012 Author Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I get what you're saying, but here I think the evidence suggests otherwise... why would people spend more money on MMO's than any other kind of game if not for superior quality? Not to mention the fact that everyone that has responded to the poll has indicated that they are likely to buy a PE MMO. Edited November 4, 2012 by mcmanusaur
Pipyui Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Why not just petition Obsidian to make an MMO ... about something else? I tend to think that making an MMO model of any good IP is bad mojo (Skyrim Online, anyone?).

Pipyui Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 MMOs are the dawnfall of classic RPGs.... Dawnfall? What's that supposed to mean? Are you for it or against it? Thanks for the new word, though. It makes my brain cringe. 1

mcmanusaur Posted November 4, 2012 Author Posted November 4, 2012 NO, GOD NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mcmanusaur, your trolling attempts are now crystal clear!! I bet the folks over at The Elder Scrolls forums would have had the same reaction, called me a troll if I suggested that there might eventually be an MMO... but look what happened.
YourVoiceisAmbrosia Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Don't even joke about something as cruel and heinous as that. 6

I bet the folks over at The Elder Scrolls forums would have had the same reaction, called me a troll if I suggested that there might eventually be an MMO... but look what happened. Dude, I hate to say this but you are so transparent as a troller that it's not even funny. Just look at the dumb arse options you give in your poll: Yes, sounds awesome. I can't wait to throw my money at Obsidian! No, I don't like the sound of that at all, but I'd probably buy it anyway. Obvious troll fails to include an option for players who are against an MMO release and would never buy it, which is the option that is true for the vast majority of PE fans! Obvious troll is obvious. Obvious troll demonstrates severe troll failure. This thread should be closed, post haste!

Well, you best move on to the next internet community and spread your dire prophecy.
Ieo Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Yes, you're just trolling. I get what you're saying, but here I think the evidence suggests otherwise... why would people spend more money on MMO's than any other kind of game if not for superior quality? Not to mention the fact that everyone that has responded to the poll has indicated that they are likely to buy a PE MMO. And I'm speaking as someone who's playing an MMO. You (and the opponents, really ) don't seem to understand the main draws of MMOs: Social play in a persistent world. That's it. It's a particularly strong addiction. And as someone with 6-7 years of experience in MMOs, I can attest from personal experience and much observation that regardless of how players lose interest over time, the final reason why people continue to subscribe is social interaction. I remained subbed on one MMO for a full year after losing interest in gameplay just to maintain ties with some people, and I still regularly communicate with a couple despite having quit four years ago. There's nothing innately superior or inferior about an MMORPG--it is a completely different category of game compared to a narrative-drive SP CRPG. It's comparing puppies to pineapples. As for SP -> MMO, why yes, SWTOR did awfully well in slaughtering the KotOR franchise and company stock, huh. Stupid poll, stupid thread, stupid idea. Edited November 4, 2012 by Ieo 2 The KS Collector's Edition does not include the Collector's Book. Which game hook brought you to Project Eternity and interests you the most?

TheDogProfessor Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Where's the "I would never, even under pain of death, touch the proposed MMO, even with a 10ft pole!" option? 7 Brown Bear- attacks Squirrel Brown Bear did 18 damage to SquirrelSquirrel- death
gholam Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Not to mention the fact that everyone that has responded to the poll has indicated that they are likely to buy a PE MMO. Why don't you add a third option to the poll and see what happens? Something like "No, no, no, HELL NO!".
GhostofAnakin Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 No. I'm tired of these suggestions to turn every single player game into an MMO. 1 "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
HorseFD Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I tend to think that making an MMO model of any good IP is bad mojo (Skyrim Online, anyone?). In what way is The Elder Scrolls Online (it's not called Skyrim Online) bad mojo? It hasn't been released and very little information about it is available, so I'd love to know how you've managed to make that judgement. Unless, of course, you're referring to the third party mod, Skyrim Online. Edited November 4, 2012 by HorseFD
LadyCrimson Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 It must be the weekend. As to the idea of PE being a MMO... no, and no. I like single-player games and I want more single player games, not less. 1 “Things are as they are.
