I read a majority of the posts here in this thread. It seems to me all the salty butt hurt people who are bashing EQNext want it to be like P1999. Here's an idea, play P1999. Dumb.

If that's the key to success, why do no companies follow that model anymore? Please answer that.

Limiting game access by requiring players of a certain type (or any other way), doesn't bode well anymore. If I only have 1-2 hours a day to play a video game, I should be able to play it, not sit around hoping to find the right class to venture forward. If you want a community the size of P1999, then it may work, but it's a terrible business model for a new game/company. If you target a tiny market, your revenue generated will be...tiny. Businesses exist to make money, not to make us old EQ players happy. Adapt or leave.

You clearly have 0 real world business knowledge. How will a company survive without "$$"? I'm sure investors will jump at the chance to invest into a game that targets a tiny audience. How did vanguard do? Why was EQ2 built more casual friendly? You're the minority whether you accept it or not. Facts > you.

If MMOs are not designed for casuals, why are all the big MMOs focused towards casuals? Please explain.




That's my problem, sure, and it's your problem the games you want don't exist anymore. You're agreeing with me, and disagreeing with yourself based on facts, great community college logic. You may have an OPINION on those games, but if they're profitable, they're successful. You can't grow without success and MONEY.

How about you invest all of your money and time into the game you want? Just some advice though, you'll be losing money each and every quarter. For your sake, I hope you're Mark Cuban. (jk he wouldn't be dumb enough to invest in such a bad idea)

Oh, so not having to look at maps and wiki's is so new and exciting. Every new MMO that comes out brags about something that already exists, then adds gimmicky features that on paper and in demos seem cool, but in reality fall short. Guild Wars 2.

Do you realize YOU are the mouthbreather stereotype? The guy who sits around playing an MMO 40 hours a week like a full time job, with an elitist attitude just because your life revolves around the game. Look at your post, and how hate filled you are towards the MMO standard now a days.

No one mentioned anything about playing 1-2 hours and being on the same level as someone who plays 20-30 hours, its about accessibility. If a game requires a near full time commitment like old MMOs use to, it will fail. Look at the facts.

Here's a few hard facts: you're not a special snowflake, life's not fair, other people are better than you. That's why you aren't getting the game you want. That's why you're the minority. Maybe that's even why you're so ignorant. I get it, you hate WoW and you miss the way games use to be when you were younger, but maybe that's a sign you should grow up and step away from the games and work on your own REAL life. Just saiyan.

Typical mainstream fanboi logic. Go back to the Blizzforums. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
