FPS controls for melee combat and spellcasting. Seems to me like it's just not going to work, or if it does, no one will like it.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping I'm wrong. Because the artwork, solo-instances, no raids, unique skill deck system, progressive story that people will actually take part in shaping the world, the statues of Players who make a name for themselves (PvP or PvE wise)... it all sounds too good to be true.<BR/><BR/>It's coming out apparently in EU 1st, with a US release later this year. Definitely one to keep our eyes on.Bildohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984263503537727388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162860.post-18706352544307657422007-03-27T18:07:00.000-05:002007-03-27T18:07:00.000-05:00Sorry, I cannot put anything else on my "watch" li...Sorry, I cannot put anything else on my "watch" list until something comes off. Time, money, and my wife simply won't allow it.<BR/><BR/>2007 is likely to be the first year where MMOs crashing and burning becomes a common sight. And I do not mean that just relative to WoW. Okay, maybe 2008, as some of the games will need a bit of time to really get into a power dive.<BR/><BR/>I am not going to say that the MMO market is only n players big, we know where that leads, but anything that doesn't have something fresh to differentiate itself from the established market is going to have a rough time breaking out of the pack of also-rans. There is already a lot of competition out there and there will be a lot more by the end of the year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162860.post-3780682844949043182007-03-27T17:00:00.000-05:002007-03-27T17:00:00.000-05:00Well Fanny, they do complain, yes, but I wouldn't ...Well Fanny, they do complain, yes, but I wouldn't discount any of Garry or Ryan's concerns. I honestly think they do represent a sector of the MMO community that, like Cuppy, want to see something fresh.<BR/><BR/>You'll notice that both Garry and Ryan talk about console gaming just as much as MMOs now-a-days...perhaps more so. It's interesting to ponder why that is.darrenlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387925924719653082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162860.post-77061598652456205872007-03-27T16:51:00.000-05:002007-03-27T16:51:00.000-05:00I love the guys at MogArmy, but they're complainer...I love the guys at MogArmy, but they're complainers. They talk more about what sucks than they do about what's good. <BR/><BR/>That being said, I think we have a lot to look forward to. I'm expecting an announcment from Blizzard at least by Dec. about the next expansion, probably some announcements for other big titles as well, all the new games coming out... I mean it's not that bad. Maybe some of these titles are using convention.. but you're right in that it signifies the upcoming renaissance of MMO features.<BR/><BR/>Well written D.Collinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09832117631742812965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162860.post-28370613378582951482007-03-27T12:50:00.000-05:002007-03-27T12:50:00.000-05:00I guess you're right, hehe.

Nothing could really get worse than 2006 anyway...I guess 2007 is a step-up =)<BR/><BR/>Anywho, I agree with you about Spellborn! I had been ignoring it thinking it was just vaporware, but a lot of these features really appeal to people who are either casual players or who play multiple games (I fit into both categories). I'm keeping my eye open for new Spellborn news as well =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
