[QUOTE="Iraqi_Gangster"]You are right. I have Diablo 2 and the atmosphere is really dark and gothic. But who cares, it is from Blizzard. These guys don't know what wrong meansSceaduHyrde

Yeah, well I can say thats not true with starcraft 2..Blizzard seems to have the public involved quite a bit with that project. As for their other games, no company has any obligation to have the public involved with the design of the game and that goes for any company not just blizzard.

Thats what is funny because if you want to suceed you really have to poor a tone of resources into the game and make it great but most companies don't realize that.

I also think some of these MMOs coming out like Jumpgate would do a lot better if they didn't charge 15$ usd a month. Maybe like 7.50 or 10 would be a better strategy..The downsides of that would be not making enough money and also people thinking the game is worse since you are paying less.

I think it's too risky, especially for the developer of Jumpgate. If the game goes down the toilet in 6 months, at 15 dollars a month you'd make a lot more money than if it was only half that (you'd make half as much :P).

yeah who knows..but its always a way to keep players around longer..if they stay around twice as long then they'll come out even, but then again they may stuck around wiht 15 so who knows...

If you liked Titan Quest, then Diablo 2 is a must (Battlenet is free to play).

You could also try Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, Witcher, Mass Effect, but if you want a Titan Quest type game then Diablo is the way to go.

No guys, Blizzard (a business) is trying to make money..no more diablo recommendations please :roll:

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] I am trying to figure out what these idiot devs are thinking.. 90% of these mmos are the same formula sword and magic mmos.. Why hasn't any one tried to do something unique like Eve Online? GodLovesDead

Probably because Eve Online has 1/100000th (yes, I pulled that fraction out of my ass) of the fanbase of WoW. Chances are if a company is making an MMO these days, they are doing it for the cash. They couldn't care less about making a good game or a unique game. They just want a piece of the pie.
