Yeah, I've heard that Wildstar was a train wreck, mostly because they tried to "double dip". (It's free, but you need to 'subscribe' to make it less of a grind, and also there's a cash store.) Still, no one deserves to have the carpet yanked out from under them like that. gently caress NCsoft.

It's a long, sordid story, but the thrust of it is that CoH was shut down because NCsoft are loving dicks. It's 1:45 AM, I'll go into more detail tomorrow, unless any of the other ex-CoH players would like to chime in.

I think anyone thats followed Wildstar's development is going to think NCSoft has the patients of an MMO publishing saint for funding that particular dumpster fire for so long. Wildstar failed pretty much entirely because of Carbine's mismanagement and NCSoft really has nothing to do with the game's failure other than allowing it to go on for way too long.

(It's free, but you need to 'subscribe' to make it less of a grind, and also there's a cash store.) Free users basically followed the pre F2P leveling path, going from zone to zone do quests level up. Subbed players basically got to wander through zones cherry picking a few quests from each hub before they moved onto the next one, the net difference was a F2P player took about the standard MMO leveling up period to level up, where with paid you could be max level in a few days (Real life days not hours played). They had one of the better F2P models around tbh, the problem is the rest of the game just wasn't there. They went from the initial problem of all of the content being overtuned and impossible and nothing for the casuals to do, to the later end of the cycle where I could drag even the biggest mouthbreathers in the world through the raid due to gear creep... In my 20 man raid I had precisely 6 competent players. Once everyone geared up from the last raid then they had nothing to do again (Because there was no casual poo poo to tide them over and the dev team was uhhhh eviscerated by that point). Most goons griping about this game gripe about the paid launch, but ignore the fact that most of the things they bitched about got fixed. Then Carbine made all new mistakes. By the time I quit people were pugging the super hardcore raids. Literally every step they took was What_Not_to_do_with_a_MMO.pdf EDIT: I will say that the reason I get mad about wildstar and don't give the slightest gently caress about SoA, is you can see where a lot of love and effort was poured into wildstar, meanwhile SOA was a two gens ago unity asset flip cash grab. Nobody gave a poo poo about this project. Rhymenoserous fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Oct 1, 2018 |

People still claim NCSoft shot Garriott into space so they could forge his signature on his resignation letter. There are quite a few absurd myths about NCSoft being evil when the reality is its just another greedy and frequently incompetent corporation.

NCSoft is fukken trash my dudes, Wildstar could also be a bad game at the same time, but you don't have to play soft defense for the absolutely miserable company above them.

Also that around the time CoH got shuttered they were in a life or death battle for a hostile takeover by nexon. Wasting money on games where the devs were spending your money on games for somebody else is kinda a high priority to gently caress off in that case.

Maybe the overhead is simply that low because everyone is working other jobs for actual income and they only pop into Richard Garriot's garden shed to code for a couple days a month.

How do you take people saying "lovely Company gave monumentally lovely game too much rope even by non-lovely Company standards" as a defense of NCSoft? It's an indictment of both

I got my box of shame in the mail. I don't remember what was supposed to be in it exactly and can't be bothered checking. Looks okay for a boxed game from the 1990s including cloth map and metal trinket. Disc copy of the game in there. Don't own an optical drive anymore. Probably a message in there somewhere. Anyway it's on my bookshelf to collect dust forever more. Within eye distance of my Duke Nukem bust from the DNF collector box. Seemed appropriate.
