A very large number of those players are enjoying the experience of just playing. The levelling is secondary to many of them, they just enjoy playing their character. I don't think you understand this mindset of the ultra casual gamer, which is understandable as you come from a very different game ...

I know this is true both in DAoC and in other games, but I'd be willing to bet a large number of those players just leveling one character after another are not actually enjoying doing it. MMORPGs, and also single-player CRPGs before them, typically offer this carrot of level gains, and it plays upo...

With the exception of Mah Jong, those are played against humans, so would not be considered PvE in any case. Even for Mah Jong, or computer games versions of the others, you're not playing against static content. You may think so, because the game MECHANICS do not change, but the CONTENT of those ga...

Requiel, I think you need to go recalibrate your perceptions, possibly with some time away from MMORPG players. No offence intended ;) Why do people pay to bypass content? Partly it's because people are lazy Laziness should not be an issue. We are talking about a recreational passtime that - frankly...

Very nice to see such an active policy from GOA, whatever the success rate. However, for me the obvious question to ask - as a gaming company - in this area is "Why are people willing to pay MORE to have someone else play their character through some pieces of the game than they would pay in subs to...

odd tho. it says the dino was discredited in 1975. Why was i taught about a dinosaur called the brontosaurus when i was at school if it had been discredited the year i was born? While Charlton Heston was lobbying for gun ownership, Doug McClure was making sure noone found out he never really fought...

Been thinking about coming back again. Utterly bored with other games. If I do, I'll see if IW are the sort of thing your new alliance wants. Natures Eye was a great place to be, mainly through the influence of Artisans and Green Peacekeepers during my time there, so no doubt your new one will be to...

I think if the original post had been something to the effect of "FS invites guilds to merge" it would not have invited discussion, but Satyn did make a couple of comments in her invitation suggesting that such mergers would make the the game more fun or help combat population dropping issues. Nothi...
