This game has the potential to squash WOW.

[WildGunsTomcat]

Yes I said it.

We just have to give the game time to develop. Rome wasn't built in a day.

I like to compare this game to Flight Simulator or Arma 2. This is an MMO on hard mode, this isn't for WOW or Champions Online kiddies that need everything pointed out to them with big arrows. This is the big league boys and girls, and the only way this game is going to reach its full potential is if the community supports it all the way.

That's all I have to say on the matter.

MO isn't gonna squash WOW.
And you just pointed out why yourself.
It was never intended to appeal to WOW's core audience.

So you're saying you have no faith in the MMO community because it's full of kiddies that want a quick high?

Maybe you're right, but I'm like John Lennon. I'm a dreamer.

Hmm, dont really think so, realistic sandbox have its audience, but as you said, not the kiddies favourite.

Well, again, a man can dream good sir.

Nope.

I'm sure MO will be a success.
It will have its audience of people who want this kind of game and they will LOVE it.

WOW will continue to have its millions of players.

Everybody wins.

Very well. I thank you for your input.

[Harsk]

MO makes real wow gamers cry. They will continue to wow game because they like it.

[Muzzy]

I love how every new mmo is going to be a "wow-killer"

Yes, MO may pull some people away from wow and other wow-like games, but things like full-loot, FFA pvp, absence of quests, etc wont sit well with many wow players.

[Taruken]

I hate that term. Nothing will ever be a WoW killer. WoW is on an entire level of its own.

I really cannot remember anyone -devs nor community- have ever said that MO is going to be a WoW killer. MO is so extremely different it's just not possible I believe.

[Shaedys]

MO is not going to kill wow. Not going to happen.

[Tyx]

Hehe, ya can dream. But as others have said before, MO will never compete to wow. It ain't built for mass attraction, its a harsh game and style that doesn't entertain just everyone.

This.

Niche aimed MMO will never be any threat to mainstream MMO that caters to everyone, monkeys including.

Hell, last time I played WoW my cat run over my keyboard and I killed 3 people!

[Slyster]

Nope..

DF has less than 20,000 players and I suspect MO will have around the same.. Maybe more if PvP is not the focus.

[karas0zero]

How tarded you must be to compare sandbox mmo to themepark one?
I love such retards talking bout this 'kiddy' game, while having no clue about what wow is. WoW is not some roleplay shit, where you can enjoy game by lumbering woods 8h/day, while in mortal you actualy can. You should see WoW more like a challenge game - its all about being best or even no1 in PvE or PvP. Toons in WoW are only tools helping you to achive that challenge. That's why every content patch you see big race betwen top guilds in pve content, or PvP tournaments on every e-sport event. Thats why top PvE guilds are sponsored and paid to play, thats why gamers organizations like Sk-gaming got own squad in WoW. Its entirly new lvl of gaming - aspect of mmorpg in wow is very small now - it became rather a teamgame with clans like some counter strike or rts.

And while im still hoping MO will be realesed as complete good game, coz it got its potential, just please dont compare different type of games. Or shall I compare RTS to turnbased strategy game, or driving simulator to some NFS arcade shit?

I know its kinda nerdrage from my side, but hell - I cant stand such stupid posts. Every forum I enter, I can find similar level retarded topics made by some 'guys'(cant even name properly such level of stupidness).
Have mercy for normal people PLEASE!

[Raff01]

No game is EVER gonna kill WoW except another Blizzard game such as world of starcraft or WoW 2.
Because only Blizzard has the knowledge and experience to make a game that can attract as many players.
MO is an elite game for a few hardcore players and mostly UO/EQ1 nostalgic players.

[Kiev]

what is this nonsense?

I bet every new MMo you play you say it will be the next wow killer...mmmIright?

I'll give your +1 for enthusiasm, but WoW is an anomaly. Just ain't going to happen. Doesn't need to. 200k subs is enough to solidify MO as an overwhelming success.

[Gobwar]

WildGunsTomcat, don't be ridiculous... It's just fact that this game ain't aimed for majority just one example is the 18+ tag, full nudity and full loot and many other reasons. It's stupid thread Im sorry.

[arcdevil]

bookmarked thread

when MO doesnt even get 3.000 players and go downhill from there on till shutting down service, I'll make sure to bump this for a quick laugh or two

1) john lennon is dead
2) MO wont even scratch wow, because this is not carebear game

[tjewey]

After listening to everyone say how awesome the game is, I downloaded it, patched the game, and patched the game, and patched the game....and 3-4 days later was eager to get into it. After looking at the login screens and character build screens, I thought that this is a pretty good looking game. But it wasn't until I set foot into the world where reality set it. The graphics were so bad, I thought this was a FTP game. There's no way I would pay a monthly fee for a game that has such out dated graphics. (Not to mention, I couldn't see my character) Plus I roamed around forever trying to find out what I'm supposed to do. No tutorial, no NPCs (that I could find). At least Fallen Earth set you on a path before letting you go off on your own. The only game so far that could compete with WOW is Aion. (at least until Knights of the Old Republic comes out). I'll be surprised if this game lasts 2 years. (and that is being generous) Vanguard was better than this. I can't believe anyone would pre-order this in the state it's currently in. I know it's in "open beta", but I've been in closed beta's that were more polished and exciting to play than this sad attempt. This game should be FTP with possibly micro transactions.

Out dated graphics? Lol. You realize it is using the unreal 3 engine correct? And that high resolution textures are not yet in the game. It doesnt look good because the game is pretty much in an alpha stage.

WoW killer? No probably not. At it's current state I would be surprised if it hit 10,000 players.

[Ninogan]

I see OP knows a lot about the mmo industry.

[kio1992]

WHY would you want to kill wow? I say let all the 10 year olds stay there.

The OP did, its in the bleeding thread title, now hush you

[serith78]

This game isn't going to squash WOW by any means. I could see it bringing new players into the sandbox MMO genre however between graphics and not having the huge grind other sandbox games do. Heck I wouldn't want to see too much popularity or the possibility of "trammelization" rears it's head.

As for "outdated graphics" even the beta graphic set is better then I've seen in most MMOs.

[Codebreaker1963]

Funnerly enough I brought sto startrek online a couple of weeks ago, played it, seen it, now I've paid for the pre-order on this game. I haven't played it yet as still downloading, so I hope they'll sort that out in the future as it's taking forever. Apart from that MO seems to excite me more than sto has, and I haven't even played it yet..

Anyway I'm looking forward to creating a good long living character in mo, so perhaps see you peeps around...Then again I might just be a hermit and crawl under the first rock I see lol.

I take it you're new to mmos then? Or are you just having a retarded moment? Seriously... I don't even like WoW, and even I know what you just posted is absolute bullshit.

just like every other MMO shut down?

funny, some people were saying the same about DF, I bet you were one of them

[Codebreaker1963]

I've found it quicker to pay for a monthly cheap subscription on fileplanet to download the client, what was going to be a 17 hour download using torrent / p2p is now 25 mins through fileplanet. Much better

Horrible troll attempt.

[selfmindead]

Wow is the best game ever created by God himself, why would I ever leave it?!?

[selfmindead]

JOKE, I am an atheist and wouldn't touch wow ever. Never have, never will!

[Demetrios]

Well, let me first say that I don't think of MO as being an MMO based game. The way I think of it is mount and blade mixed in with a really good crafting system mixed in with awesome caves and dungeons mixed in with Ulitima Online (that's the MMO aspect). There you have the mix all of US are looking for, but not many wow players. It's not a question of how soon or well will it develope (because I strongly beleive it will). It's a question of how will this game make the average player get past the lack of cushiness and puffy-puff and then be immersed completely. That's what will make or break the game, realism, active and mature player base, and immersion. If we get those I think we will have a fair chance of war with the warcraft. I'm not saying we'll put blizzard out of bussiness, but we should take a chunk of their players.

[Fullbordad]

Dream on, no sandbox (or even themepark) mmo could possibly beat their playerbase. WoW is a good game, obviously. Though I don't like the gameplay and got tired when TBC came.

But that's also the fun part with sandbox games. You usually get a smaller and more fun community. And people who get good in these games will be truly epic, not one of millions who have a gladiator rank or w/e

Jesus Christ you people are hateful LOL You need to get out more. And no, I am new to the MMO community...because I was always told it was full of hateful losers.

Imagine my suprise when I read this thread this morning.

I don't like small player bases but I don't like big ones either. If MO could get a quarter big as WoW I would be happy.... That's about the perfect size. There need to be MORE SERVERS though. Already the server we have can't handle all the people.
