Has the definition of massive changed so much that a particularly popular Minecraft server now fits?

SweetBro posted:To keep my promise. I understand the difference between a single player prototype and the necessary authoritative systems needed for a proper MMO but outside of Eternal Crusade, what notable crowdfunded MMO underestimated this? I guess Pathfinder Online (lol) would be a notable failure as well but that had red flags all over the place. As for historical failures, we haven't had a sandbox MMO that didn't go overboard with "we're recreating the Pre-Trammel UO PVP, griefing welcome gently caress casuals" nonsense since 2003 (EVE/Galaxies) and EVE is one of the only games that have survived on a subscription business model. If Galaxies expanded on the sandbox design before the focus groups told them to make it more like World of Warcraft, I'm sure that'd be alive too. Hell, even UO is still running and that's managed by EA, the company that is notorious for shutting things down. Not only are the servers still running, they have a studio of 11-50 people creating content for it. I'm sure millionaire investors will get involved with these games, but the important distinction is that they're not there from the start. If they were, they'd look up "most popular MMO" and tell the people receiving their money "make it like that". Instead, they're seeing the excitement and willingness to fund a project they're passionate about and getting in far too late to change things drastically. I still think Kickstarting MMOs is a good thing for the genre.

BadLlama posted:Um your choice of bun on a burger is a very important choice actually The only thing that's bad about Unity is UNet and some optimization issues. When it comes to visual fidelity, a lot of projects would look a lot better if Unity's default shaders weren't trash. Hopefully Unity's new hires (people that worked on Frostbite/various Sony titles) sorts that out because he has promised that Unity will be the best looking/best performing engine by 2017. I've met some extremely talented people working on various Unity games, and as always, the end product is only as good as the people working on it no matter what tools you're using.

Are they not using photon for unity? Many unity games do, since unity was never built for or should be run near-stock as an MMO (this goes for any engine) Pop that .net dll open and see for yourself!

That poo poo is expensive and it's per user and that'll drain them financially within a couple months.

Looks like they're targeting late summer for the first Campaign prototypes. I'll be interested to see if they can hit that as well as they've hit their previous schedules.

While playing RvR/WvW/Cyrodil PVP, never has the thought crossed my mind "You know what would make this better? A hunger system ripped straight out of a survival game"

Considering one of the core ideas was "as a campaign world progresses it becomes more Winter-ish and harder to survive" I'm fine with this, since groups that don't squirrel away snacks will have a harder time later in.

Whats the typical ttk expected to be in this game. I guess if they build the game around it then it makes more sense, the ttk has to be short enough in pve where you wont notice significantly but high enough in pvp where it can function as a real constraint. It makes it a solid deterrent to not jump around like a retard at least.
