Well now my character is 90 and bed-ridden. Can't wait to login today and continue to wait out his death! I'm hoping for a couple more weeks max before I can create a new character.

CU used to have a bunch of goons fawning over their "progress", who even planned which faction they are going to play! I don't know if they're still trying to develop it.

edit: Pantheon is (was?) being made by some internet famous drug addict. It looks like everquest and tries to appeal to the same audience. Now you know!

Life is Feudal had plans to be an MMO but it turns out that was hard so they sold their game as a private server-based thing (and later a town management game) until they could get the funds to actually develop an MMO. They've had a bunch of closed betas for backers and appear to be stuck doing that.

If half those games release in any form I would be greatly shocked. If this game is one of them I may start assuming I live in some sort of alternate Lovecraft dimension, because that poo poo would defy everything I know about how the world works.

I feel like most of these MMOs are developed by dinguses who have this idea of the perfect player interaction in an MMO and are just absolutely certain their game which has no distinguishing features worth mentioning is the game where that interaction will happen all the time. They basically revolve around the misconception that if you create the environment for it to happen (which already exists in most MMOs) it'll just constantly happen (it doesn't).

Can we just make an ADL Schadenfreude thread already? Because this is the entire reason I read these. I think every sub forum should have a Schadenfreude thread. BFC has the Bad With Money one, MMOHMO needs the ADL one.

MMO HMO keeps me coming back for two reasons. These threads and nostalgia from the Great Era of MMOs. Everything else is just garbage in TYOL2017.

MMOs can't die as long as we still have Wild West Online, from the makers of WarZ aka Infestation aka "One step shadier than actually buying games from a Russian man in an alley".

Wasnt WarZ basically funded and published by a shady Russian man who probably spent a lot of time in dark alleys?

Yes. Who tried to use weasel words in the Steam description, but didn't know English well enough so he ended up just blatantly lying. Like saying the game supported "up to" 64 players per map. When they pointed out it only supported like 38, he said "well 38 is less than 64, so technically it's UP TO 64." Which isn't how that works, but you can kind of see the angle he was trying to pull?

But if you were actually buying games from a Russian man in an alley, there's a chance you get a copy of a good game, and possibly even a legitimate (for Russia) copy of a good game. If you're buying from the guys who made WarZ, you're basically handing your money over to a money laundering front for the Russian mob and getting nothing but a dick punch in return.

That's 10$ for the spinefund.
These kickstarter MMOs work by saying they will contain a lot of features that are hyped in the community. Then they have problems using their $3m budget to deliver anywhere near what people are expecting. MMO's are one of the most expensive game types to develop and these kickstarter mmos often only have 10% of the budget of a AAA single player game.

So they’re at a point where they’re doing pre-alpha streams of what looks like a pretty standard MMORPG.

I like what they've been showing lately. The game looks nice so far, I like the 8x8 class system, I like that the dungeons seem difficult.

The next step though is trying to deliver on all the dynamic content that is supposed to be the selling point of the game lol

I really hate the people clamoring for more action combat garbage. We have GW2, BDO, TERA, and it always just devolves into mindless buttonmashing unless you're engaging a boss or something. I hope they stick with oldschool. EQ1 with updated graphics and QoL stuff would be amazing.

Me too. I like slower, more controlled combat where each skill feels more meaningful.
