Flesh Forge posted:How do the "hard core PVP fans" always get this poo poo backwards. Literally every RPG that allows pvp has done both of those things. Why does this notion persist that you have to punish and discourage pvp (PK), why not make it something EVERYBODY wants to do ALL THE loving TIME. Woohoo I just got killed, HOLY poo poo that was fun I WANNA DO IT AGAIN Remove PVP from all sandboxes or kill the PKer and delete their toon, because murder is illegal in the real world

Subjunctive posted:Shadowbane was funded on the proceeds of the two founders' sale of an enterprise something (database migration?) company in the early 2000s, so they didn't really need to convince investors before either. I guess they eventually convinced their publisher to buy the whole thing, but by that point the writing was several layers deep on the wall. only several tens of millions, wizard101 and pirate101 are massive and still hugely profitable, they're basically this generation's neopets at this point

Zarithas posted:Geographic separation of servers. It's hard to fight back against a massive surge of Chinese players who invade your server and outnumber the biggest alliance 5:1 (which happened on at least a few Shadowbane servers). This is exacerbated by tab targeting too, because if combat requires some form of twitch reflex, players will be much more likely to play on the server closest to them to reduce latency rather than "invading" a foreign realm. I don't see what's point of this. They have more friends. So you get your friends to play and dedicate time to fighting back too. I don't see why this is a problem, some guilds/corps/etc simply are larger and have more power. If you're like 5 people what do you expect to do? If you go invade EU or AUS or something because of timezone difference, you would be in power and they would not have anyone online to defend. So I don't see what the problem is here?

quote:This is exactly what happened in Shadowbane (though the numbers and ratio may not be completely accurate), and it killed (or at least drove out tons of oldschool players on) at least one server. To me this isn't a game mechanic failure or anything like that, it's simply that the "oldschool players" didn't have enough new players and real life friends to recruit into downloading the game, and/or did not try hard enough to grind resources out. quote:Duping and exploits were everywhere This is the major game failure part.

Rad Russian posted:How do you combat a guild alliance with 50x the numbers of everyone else that would just win every reset? 80% of server population alliances ruined quite a few servers in SB. I mean DAoC style forcing three specific sides would do the trick, however that limits freedom for guilds and nation building significantly. Bring your own alliance in, pre plan before the next reset, get more new players and zerg the poo poo out of it where applicable
