Yet another multiplayer thread.......I'm starting to that the multiplayer/LAN/online topic is like herpes............they just won't go away.
Ok thats a good point for me to vacate this topic , theres pros and cons I guess but I just think why completely mutilate a winning formulae, MP is overatted and I say that as someone who used to be obsessed with making everything MP and then I gradually saw the mammoth amounts of flaws (Even bigger than the X mammoth )
Each to their own and I shall just finish by saying I hope this most probable MMO change in direction isnt the deathnell for any longterm game that requires skill in place with MMOS which are great for people that have no job (Nothing against those people but you want a game that requires skill not just based on time based grind which is what MMOS are all about no matter how you look at it)
Also I see it as pretty much a sure thing X will go MMO and egosoft being a company are going to jump at the idea so they can get constant revenue monthly, I think people are mugs to show interest in this thing as it all contributes to turning a free passtime into a premium pay service, sure you can say you will save money well no because many people like to play many many games and if you add that up when every game in the future is pay to play that is alot more money and gimmicky gameplay all based around feeding corporate fat cats as opposed to just making a great standard game, this MMO mentality just gives devs and corporates an easy time as every quest will still be excepeted if it is just all mundane crap and nearly identical as thats what MMOs are about, yeah so you get one practically every MMO that has a success i.e wow but that leaves a whole lot of rubbish out there, just think about what is getting advocated
I am sure I will get hassle for this mentality but the whole way gaming is going is something I feel strongly about and it is my view none the less but thats all I have to say on the matter
