WoW, 6-8 million copies sold. 100's of thousands playing if not millions.

Jumpgate. 60 people on right now?

So, if Jumpgate turns into WoW in space and people play. Good for ND and good for those that choose to play. Even a fraction of the WoW player base would be good.

If 60 people here don't like it, I doubt they would be missed.

People just have to get used to the evolution of games. Life is not a side scroller.

It's post like these that make me realized how ignorant some people are.

So I'm ignorant now eh? lol

I don't think anyone ever said they should not look at things in WoW. However, it is quite obvious to anyone that WoW is not a space combat game. And when the person in charge of Jumpgate Evolution says he wants to make a "WoW in space" then I and everyone else that does not want that has a right to speak up and say so on this site. And they have a right to do that without insulting anyone or being insulted.

i dont remember ND saying they wanted to make WoW in Space, but if they did im sure they meant make Jumpgate as successful as WoW.

Maybe not, but the game will not be Jumpgate without the RP, Community, and Thrill that was Jumpgate Classic

Sure they might find a way to make the game "exciting" for the people used to WoW, but seriously, how hard can that be. In WoW your some fantasy character using spells and basic weapons, yet in Jumpgate Classic you were either good or you sucked, simple as that.

WoW takes very little skill to play imho.

and thats not true, it may take a different kind of skill that Jumpgate takes, but still takes skill. not every guild can do end game raids, not every player can take on 2 people at the same time and win.

i played WoW both as a hardcore pvper and as a raider and ive played FPSs all my life, come on even Eve takes some skill to master.

[netburnr]

I bet you it is a ton simpler to take on 2 people in a click click click game like WoW than it is to take on 2 people in Jumpgate Classic

[project3wc]

still takes skill. in Jumpgate u aim and hit a button to fire ur guns, in eve u target and hit a button and 'turrets' do the dirty job. you can say its simple but u have to play all these games and then say they take no skill.

So, if Jumpgate turns into WoW in space and people play. Good for ND and good for those that choose to play. Even a fraction of the WoW player base would be good.

agreed, if i was a developer i'd try to make a game that would attract the majority and bring me tons of money. wouldnt you?

May I direct you to the Poll in the first post?

Project, do you want an awesome game or do you not care as long as Netdevil makes money?

The truth of the business side of things is that if Netdevil revolutionizes MMOs they'll make an asston of more money than they will if they clone WoW.

[project3wc]

well if ND makes tons of money from Evo then obviously it would be an awesome game.

you are right about if ND revolutionizes MMOs they will be making sht ton more than WoW tho.

edit:

hopefully.

Nonsense, the masses like crap allatime. Awesome stuff isn't always successful (particularly when you factor in poor marketing, take Jumpgate Classic for example).

Netdevil is like my "home team" as far as MMOs go, so it would suck to see them try to be good by copying someone else rather than just rocking the house in their own style.

Even if there are 10million subscribers to WOw.. there are another 10million playing other games. and 20million unable to find a good mmorpg because everyone seems to want to copy success of wow and are sick of it.

Hard to master? how so.. killing 10billion hogs.? Vel if you mean give up 6months of your entire year to master that, then I guess its hard to master.

maybe I should start a facebook group to see how many are sick of wow... I bet I could get few millions.. maybe there is one already.

I'd join it.
