let me get this right: everything is destructible?
so after first 1000 explorers done DESTRUCTING, the next set of players who join a week later will find only a desolated flat landscape evenly covered with dust and mud, without a single landscape feature, since everything was already destructed?

General things will regenerate on their own, or can be rebuilt by players. Important/lore types of things will be only destructible to a certain degree to avoid your situation.

I think we all know with the things they're attempting to do, this game is either going to be great, or a complete disaster, with probably 70% chance leaning towards disaster.

I agree, this game is either going to suck complete ass (85% chance) or it's going to be a home run. Nothing in between. I am still not liking the Kerran character models, like seriously you could not have made him look a little fierce? Just a little bit?

looks like a fluffy newborns lion toy! sigh wow graphics needs puntin yo!

Some cool ideas with the minecraft like type style shit, but nothings gonna beat the classic eq

Son of a bitch they did it to me again, every time I look at shit for this game, I want to go ape shit on someone who is developing it.

Station Cash is Sony Online Entertainment's virtual currency. It's simple and easy to use. All of your Station Cash is stored in a digital wallet. Once your wallet has been funded, you can use Station Cash to make purchases through the in-game Marketplace. The in-game Marketplace is an integrated store where you can purchase an assortment of premium in-game items, services, content and features to enhance your gameplay experience.

What the fuck, /facepalm.

The entire industry believes it right now. Just another reason I love what CCP did (and they did it against industry "wisdom" at the time). Though I admit their game is for the hardest of hardcore.

The entire industry believes a lot of bullshit. If you look at the population curves for various mmos you can see that most of them have no clue what they're talking about. EVE is the only mmo that's got a steady upward ramp that never really drops and keeps trucking upward despite being over a decade old. Looking at the behavior of mmos, it's set to overtake wow in a few years as the most popular mmo in the west--assuming the next generation flops, which i doubt--eso looks like it'll take the casuals by storm as far as i can tell.

here's what the industry should believe: if your game is well-crafted, people will pay to play the game itself. if you have to do an obnoxious ass-backwards payment plan then you are showing that you don't really believe in your game's chances of being well-received.
