I'll wait and see. I play EQ and my level of faith in Verant's foresight, technical competance, and ability to test things before release is... hm, I can't think of anything quite low enough for a comparison.

Example: In EQ recently they implemented very high level epic quests for every player class. These are very long, difficult things that when completed give you what's basically a class defining weapon, the best in the game for your particular class. Now, obviously this had people interested and they swore up and down many times that they'd tested them in every possible way with every race/class combination and that they were airtight and working. Eventually they went live, and fully half of them didn't work. They patched up a couple here and there over the next two weeks, but as of today at least three or four (of 13) are still broken. Note that I'm not talking about some quirky bug, I'm talking that they're simply not completable at the moment.

It's been TWO MONTHS and they haven't fixed these, which they swore a dozen times were fully tested in the first place (I think the fact they had to swear this shows the customer base in general's level of faith). Not to mention the completely out of wack difficulty, one or two can be completed given a few hours and some friends, others I'm a bit skeptical are ever going to be finished.

I can hardly wait to see what happens when this sort of approach shows up with an FPS game. Wow.

Fuck Verant.

Thanks.

Can you say LLLAAAGGG!

A ping time of 350 in EQ is no big deal. But in an FPS a ping time that high makes the game nearly unplayable, at least competetively.

wake me up when they fix all the cheating

Will GSI open up PlanetPlanetSide?

I wont touch anything Verant with a 10 foot pole. If I have to pay per month to play and they reserve the right to ban without reason, fuck em...

Besides I cant even imagine a match with about 100 real players, and 3400 lamers/newbies/fuckups...

Hmmm... Verant + FPS/Action == Mystery Meat... I think I'll get crackin' on some fan fiction right now so I can get pre-banned for this doomed title...

Han Soul-O griped his phaser tightly, it was warm and hard, not unlike a reheated stale bagel... You wouldn't want to eat either, but now it was Glekko the trademonger who was staring down the business end of the double barelled Onion and Chive, er... gun.

"Perhaps we can glorp a deal..." said Glekko shakily... "Take me you fool..." was Soul-O's reply... Hot, ass-thumping sex followed...

that oughta do it...

11 -- Likely so. You don't run servers capable of housing 3500 players each cheaply... as much as people enjoy bitching about the concept of $10 a month, it's not going to go away for a massively-multiplayer game. Independant people can't afford to run a server that can handle it, not for quite a while anyway.

The bandwidth, hardware, and customer-service costs eat up most of that monthly fee. Without it they'd likely go broke pretty fast, unless they had heavy in-game advertising or something.

Oh damn, I'm so close!!

Someone needs to ask these yahoo's if this is going to be a pay per month type game.

first post posters are faggots

This game better be good.

I am afraid of MMORPGs.

Wow, i rock.
