There are things like that on the small scale with certain games that are very popular but nobody has thought to make a large MMO of the sort.

What the gently caress?? You had to do that?? This game seems like it was designed by a schizophrenic dog.

This is my favorite part:quote:Georgeson went around the office telling anyone within earshot that EverQuest Next “didn’t need designers” and that “players will make the content for us”. Suffice it to say, this kind of talk was rather demoralizing for other teams within the company that valued storytelling.

I thought I'd give it a try when it was free because having a bunch of cool fantasy MMO building tools sounded like it might be fun. Then I played it and found out you had to grind for hours for the privilege of building a dilapidated shed for them to put in their MMO. No thanks. I remember seeing some steam charts putting it's peak users in the low single digits over the past few weeks so its closure isn't exactly surprising.

I remember being disappointed at the beginning. Then they said they added combat and enemies. I logged in and got killed immediately by a laggy, glitchy plant monster thing in a cave I couldn't get out of. Fun. Oh yeah. Remember when CAVES were a feature people anxiously awaited? What the gently caress.

And they couldn't get them to work right so they had you teleport into a 'cave'.

The WoW private server community used to have "funservers" where you could just get everything and go do all the content. They were really fun. MMOs are by far more entertaining and enjoyable without the grind. The problem is it's business suicide so no one will invest in it. No investment means no one to keep the servers online.

puberty worked me over posted:The WoW private server community used to have "funservers" where you could just get everything and go do all the content. There's a few of those up for EQ now too. I still play Project1999 on occassion, but sometimes I dip into a sandbox EQ server and just go sightseeing.
