• • Will you Resub??

  • If you are going to re-sub make sure you get a med/med pop server. Then it will be as much fun as possible. What still confuses me was when Mythic started allowing voluntary server transfers from dead (essentially )servers to low pop servers. I suppose they were counting on low pops becoming regular/steady med pops but it didn't happen. If they had just done server merges as soon as it became apparent that some of the servers were turning into ghost towns, they would have saved a lot of cancellations.

    I do see where there are a few 'helpful/hopeful' changes coming but for me after reaching Order 40 and re-rolling several to middle 30s then re-rolling again and leveling Destro toons, the end game is lacking. Not to say that the head to head isn't fun but it's essentially the same thing over and over, even with a better queuing system in place. Also, the last thing I heard when the multiple 'gold bags' started dropping, teams were essentially allowing turnovers back and forth to get the good 'leewt' (this from talking to friends after I left the game).

    I still have a month and half on the 3 month sub I signed up for after the Early Access (3 days?) and the initial 1 month. It's unlikely I will re-install even if the new classes are solid and on-time.

    WAR (Warhammer Online)
• • Warhammer Online $10.95 on Amazon as of this morning

  • I'm glad I bought the CE edition for Warhammer. Looks good on a shelf. AoC CE I felt was a bit better in that the sound track was very good and lasted even after the demise of the game (for my playing). Of course I played WAR longer than AoC so I liked the actual game more. *shrug* oh well. Here's to hoping for the next title.

    I think that for the sake of safety (avoidance of wife aggro) I  might not be scoop up CEs quite so fast next time around, HAHA!

  • In the end, the TCOS financial and executive groups decided what  'X number of players' is required to make the game viable as a profitable source of income. If they think they can do it with 100K, thats the number they have to reach. After that number was decided, they (hopefully) made the right decisions in the design of the game aspects to hold that number or greater. If they have enough subs to cover their expenses and pay salaries, it's a success.

    A game doesn't have to be a 'WoW killer' to succeed, something a lot of folks seem to not realize. Personally, i didn't care for the game in CB. I'll give it another go when there is a NA release but I don't think it will end up as something I can play long term. I do hope for the sake of the genre/industry that is viable and makes a good go of it.

    General Discussion
• • Starting to lock threads on Spellborn Official Forums , AoC all over again ...

  • Locking repeat threads is pretty common action in most forums. Saves bandwidth, storage and the possibility of someone ranting and getting offensive slipping by undetected in the landslide. They even do it here, now and again.

    For all the idiots crying doom and gloom must realize that Warhammer opened with 50 servers.

     

    
     

    How are these people idiots?

    The massive roll-out of servers was a mistake right from the beginning. Poor project planning. People have been asking for server consolidations (and not freebie transfers from dead pop to low pop) for weeks now seeing WAR coming down because of the vast expanses of unused servers quietly collecting dust/cobwebs. (To say nothing of money sinks for the company to maintain essentially unused servers. Even if they are server clusters using virtual machines there's still bare metal out there somewhere.)
