Its more of the same but very polished........... its basically WoW with better graphics. Its a good game but I cancelled my preorder because ive seen it all before.
If you are looking for the next big innovation, you will not find it in here.
If you're looking for innovation, skip this one.
LOTRO just emerged but although I haven't seen it I can only guess it's just more of the same Mages, Tanks type game so I won't even try this one.
This game imo is just another WoW clone
Why is it, that NO ONE can make a GOOD MMORPG?
From when EQ2 and WoW were launched, there has not been 1 MMO that has been unique. They all offer the same things.
I really have to wonder what players are expecting. Every game I've played (and I've tried almost all of them) has had unique aspects to them. But isn't the basic core of an MMO always going to remain somewhat the same?
I saw a post a few days ago stating that developers were just lazy and just taking the easy route in making games. Maybe I'm naive, but I really do think developers put their heart and soul in a game and want to put out a great product. But they also want to be successful. So what other directions can you go with an MMO that hasn't been done already?
SWG was very unique. It was the first game I played that wasn't level based. You could pick and choose abilities from various classes and create something unique. They had entertainers, which brought in a lot of people that wanted nothing to do with combat. The housing was great, and you could set up your own shop. While many people loved it, apparently there were not enough subscribers to SoE's liking, so they scrapped much of what made it unique.
Then there's Anarchy Online. Although they have levels, they have a similar system to original SWG in that you could put skill points wherever you wanted so that you could build your character differently from someone else. I believe they were one of the first to offer instances. They offered missions, much like CoH/CoV does now. This game was fairly unique, yet it never raked in the masses either.
So, looking at past games that did things differently and seeing how they fared, and considering how much it costs to make an MMO these days, do developers really want to try something risky?
Looking ahead at all the upcoming titles, Pirates of the Burning Sea certainly seems to steer away from the same old, same old more than most. I'm really rooting for these guys and hope they do well. Will be curious to see if their innovation pays off, and if so, if it has any effect on future games.
Speaking of "innovation", I came across something today that I really thought was a joke at first. What do you get when you stick a bunch of Lego's on a Bryce image? Welcome to Block Realm!!
Beta registration started a couple days ago and dangit it's full already. Ah well :)

The thing about the forums is that it seems that most of the coments are going to always be negative, or rather the negative people always have to come in and post something mean and hateful or just negative.
They can't help themselves. Seriously why post if all you are going to say is "I"m not playing this." Why come to a came that you are NOT going to be playing and then put it down and just say that you are not going to play it? I guess trolls have to have a life too!
It goes back to that old saying, "If you don't have something nice (or constructive) to say than do not say anything at all!"
Is that the new lego mmo or just something similar?
Yeah I think most of the happy and content folks don't bother to post or even read forums. I know I rarely ever post on forums.
I don't believe this is that Lego mmo. They announced selecting NetDevil to develop it only last month and this other one is already in beta. Although they are calling them "blocks", they sure do look like Lego brand of blocks.
