This Game Needs to be on GameSpot.com

Divinius · 2nd July 2008, 03:47

I am sure as many of you know Gamespot is known as one of the biggest video game sites; with previews, reviews, and a massive community backing it. Its like a google for video games so to speak. However it recently has come to my attention that when you type "Mortal Online" on Gamespot, nothing shows up except for Mortal Combat Games.

I know we are a relatively small community atm, the forums only opened up April, but I know having something on GameSpot.com can give this game some credability this it deserves. I am just suggesting that the staff or something do something about it, so when I type "Mortal Online" I won't just see Mortal Combat!

Lets get the word out about this game.

Landor · 2nd July 2008, 03:50

I would say no right now. It fun having a small community. Anyways it will be put on gamespot soon enough as soon as that game thing that the devs are going to.

Divinius · 2nd July 2008, 03:53

The thing is Even Rumors of Games get put on Gamespot. I think this game atleast deserves to exist in that Gaming Site. However I agree I like having a small community

Sorjak · 2nd July 2008, 06:08

I'm kind of ambivalent about having more people aware of this game... I deeply enjoy how close knit and respectful the current membership of these forums are.

Ravenwoods · 2nd July 2008, 06:48

it will get publicised in a year or so imo.

I agree with Lander it's so nice having such a small community. I like to keep the best kept secret in the MMO industry just that a secret for now.

Sinneh · 2nd July 2008, 12:02

Community is great... I don't want people spammin and doing stupid threads...

Keep it clean and dont get more work for the devs... They need time and they probbably dont want to spend it for banning spammers or deleting stupid threads.

Divinius · 2nd July 2008, 13:01

I bet you my life there are games on gamespot that none of you ever heard of. The fact is this game deserves to be reconized as a game. Having it on Gamespot just gives more benefits, we may recieve some new members in the forums. And its nice to have it on a database like Gamespot (i hate ign lol)

Mpträ · 2nd July 2008, 14:27

I approve of this gamespot idea

Dethdealer · 2nd July 2008, 16:26

I am new here, so I don't think my opinion probably holds much water. But, I would have to agree with the idea of getting it recognized by Gamespot. Part of the building process for any game (especially MMOs) is the hype before it is released. It can only help insure that the developers have a nice, populated launch (and hopefully a profitable future as well). I am sure they will get some info up there as soon as they can.

Though I do understand everyone's concern about the community getting bigger. It is fun to be part of something new.

Divinius · 2nd July 2008, 18:12

OMGPIE · 2nd July 2008, 18:55

I don't really care but if it brings in WoW kids then no absolutely not. I like how it is right now personally.

bluealien1 · 2nd July 2008, 22:00

As much as I despise Gamespot(hey, if you have enough money you can get any game rated 9!) this game really should be there, the community as of now is far too small, especially if beta may launch around New Years, what are we going to have, 70-100 beta testers or something? Besides, if the community is large enough I can troll these forums all day rather than do anything else

.

Aziraath · 3rd July 2008, 00:01

I couldn't agree more. This game is waaaaayy too hard to find. The only way I found out about this game is because I was bored one day, and I wanted a new game to play, so I was looking through 2009 games on wikipedia. I should have known about this game a while back.

mike470 · 3rd July 2008, 00:15

I'd rather see it added on MMORPG.com

I do hate that fact that when I am on there are like 3 or less people logged on at a time. This game is worth a lot more popularity than its given.

Mukan · 3rd July 2008, 02:26

I think right now it's fine as it is. Maybe in a few more months when there is more info released about the game and such it may be a good idea to get some word out, but as it stands, I don't see the point especially when even us active in the MO community know so little about the game. It might not set well with the general gaming public at the moment.

mike470 · 3rd July 2008, 03:22

You need to remember everyone, this game is still in early development. Not much info has been given, no real videos, no screens, just be patient. A huge community just doesn't happen overnight, you have to be patient. People will come when they begin to learn more and more about MO, and when MO begins to get closer to release.

For now, this community will grow. PEople came in for the big entrance, left due to the wait, and now it is beginning to slowly grow again. Patience, people, patience.

Oh, and once DF doesn't release this place should become a little more crowded

Collbard · 3rd July 2008, 03:35

I don't really think the floodgates should be opened yet. There really isn't enough information about the game to keep a lot of people interested. I'm sticking around because I think there is some potential here, but a lot of others may see the lack of info (one race, one teaser, some concept art, no screenshots, etc) and be put off. I say, enjoy the small community while we can and once more information about gameplay is released, try to get more people interested.

And of course as long as there isn't much infos, there will be only spamers, whiners and flamers posting in the forum if they all know about the game.

I guess that is another way to look at it. I am going to agree with you and say keep it on the down low right now, because the less that know about it right now the better. Once it goes really public we will get those WOW maniacs coming here and trashing it just like they have attempted on Age of Conan.

In early development in what sense? They have been working on this game for a few years. If you mean early in respect to alpha that might make sense.

MO is way off the radar if it's not on MMORPG.com imo.

Mpträ · 4th July 2008, 11:16

I approve this MMORPG.com idea too

agree, no point in showing off if there is simply nothing to show...basic concept of the game and 1 trailer...kind of really small amount of information.
And don`t forget evil angry kids, who`s main point in life is posting useless crap in the internet...that shat is scary!

Being on Gamespot just means the game exist. It means nothing else. It has games we have never heard of on its database. There are even rumors of games on there with 0 information about. I just want to have this game exist on the site because the game is in development and it does exist. Just because its on gamespot doesnt mean a flood of people will find it.

This game exists therefore should be put under developmental status on a video game database.

Either they dont have a lot to show off or they are holding back. I would hope the later if they plan to release Summer 09.

I don't understand why you need some corrupt game review site to tell you a game exists.
