MMO's often have good sales leading up, its all about sustained rate. We can judge if its a success only after ~6 months on the market (as much as I know that makes the fanboys who want an answer NAOW! mad)

What?

Blizzard popularized the casualisation and the carebear-oriented nature in MMOs. Any MMO that has no open PvP and PKing system, and no decent death penalty, be it item, xp or money loss, is a carebear-oriented, casual-fest. And it was WoW that popularized that and casualised the genre.

There's a penalty for dying in WoW.. I suppose it could go under the money loss section since that's what it effectively does.

I would say Runescape is more "hardcore" than a lot of these casual themeparks that plague the genre.

You do realize there are plenty of mmorpgs out there with actual death penalties such as losing xp even deleveling, dropping items, severe money loss, WoW has some, but its tiny and pretty insignificant.

EvE Online, Ultima Online, those were some fine games, EvE online is pretty darn hardcore. Notorious for it even.

It's kinda generic, i'll be the first to admit, not something that can really be changed by any graphics, vehicles, tactical gameplay or destructible environments. Not to say that it's a CoD clone, because CoD copied from the same 'military 'teh realizm' FPS' book as BF3. Crappy, almost certainly not.

I highly recommend you do so then.Oh yeah, and if you pre-order a collectors edition you get to play the game a whole week early. So yeah, go pre-order it.

Do you know why it wont appear in the UK if what you hear is true?

Yeah ok I'd rather go with WOW than EVE even if it is bad at least it's a game not an Excel simulator: expensive clothing edition.

Spent years playing Lineage 2. Not quite as hardcore as EvE, but losing 4% xp that takes a few hundreds of mobs to regain, was kinda painful. It was all about the PvP though, and seeing all those new MMOs trying to separate PvP and PvE, with factions, and bgs, and all that. No. You should earn your PvE, fight the other guild/clan for that raid, and the best takes it. Instances are the worst thing to happen to MMOs imo. MMOs are not about the story, they are about player interaction.

Ahh, Linage 2, I havent played it myself, but I heard outside of the grind, it was pretty darn good. I agree with what you are saying, PvP and PvE are very seperate in modern mmos and usually it feels like PvP is nothing more than a mere minigame, all you lose if you lose a PvP fight is some time. Remember in many sandbox mmos where there was actual interceptions, guild warfare, territory control, espionage, player politics ect.

While the actual PvP in EverQuest 2 wasnt that great itself, the ideas behind it were. as players could loot fallen enemies, attack anyone if they were an exile (neutral faction). 80% or so of the PvP server population seemed to be exile, as it meant they could attack anyone they pleased unburdened by restrictive factions.

Oh and btw, are you hyped for ArcheAge? It is made by Jake Song, who developed the Lineage games.

Only the Special Edition is sold out i guess it had a good demand and they don't know if they can get more copies of it from the publisher, at least that's what they said.

EA are limiting the amount of pre-orders, this is because they want to control the launch population, as those who preorder will get to play the game 7 days early if they got the Collectors edition, and 3 days early if they got the normal edition.

Most likely for server stability. Something which plagues many mmo launches.

I am SO hyped about Archeage :D Not only made by the man who made L1 and L2, not only can you build ur own house/ship/castle, but it's also powered by Cryengine 3! What else to ask in an MMO! Sandbox gameplay with open pvp and all that goodness, decent questing and crafting as I hear, and fantastic visuals.

I'm pretty sure they also said there is " very limited supply" for the collectors edition. Anyway my hype for this game is through the roof. I want to play it right now.

Nice to see someone else hyped for ArcheAge. Indeed the game is everything we could ask for in an mmo, if it delivers on everything it promises to do, it might be the game of the gen.

Forget SWTOR, forget GW2. Archeage looks more ambitious than both... combined.

I am SO hyped about Archeage :D Not only made by the man who made L1 and L2, not only can you build ur own house/ship/castle, but it's also powered by Cryengine 3! What else to ask in an MMO! Sandbox gameplay with open pvp and all that goodness, decent questing and crafting as I hear, and fantastic visuals.

So you want another korean grinder? If that's what qualifies as a good MMO count me out.

No, what we want is a game with tonnes of freedom, player politics, interactive world and meaningful PvP. Something that mmos like SWTOR and WoW lacks.

Is that with or without a life? I work 12 hours a day, some ppl can't spend a huge amount of time with some MMO's.

Oh and btw, are you hyped for ArcheAge? It is made by Jake Song, who developed the Lineage games.

Forget SWTOR, forget GW2. Archeage looks more ambitious than both... combined.

I can almsot certainly bet you that GW2 and ToR will heavily outscore and outsell archeage, a niche korean grind high end pc requiring MMO.

Not surprised, Star Wars is a much bigger brand than Battlefield.

Game isnt out yet, so I dont know how grindy the game will be. However if Lineage is any indication it will be very grindy. However, unlike Themepark mmos the game wont start once you hit the level cap.

ToR starts at level 1. The entire leveling process is like playing KoTor with other people.

For TOR perhaps. Which is one thing that looks good about it. A problem with many themepark mmos out there is that the levelling experience basicly serves as a glorified tutorial.

Edit: But that is one of the few positive things I have to say about TOR. GW2 looks good though, but I am more interested in ArcheAge.

TOR will sell well which is a given, I mean it has hype, heavy emphasis on story, Bioware and Star Wars. Though the question is, how many will stay after a year?
