pΘtshΘt: Fixing WoWs Progression Problem

2008-04-29 16:07:22 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
 
...WoWs current PvE reward/progression model WoWs progression and reward model greatly exacerbates the tendency toward asshattery (greedy, selfish, anti-social and uncivil behavior) by requiring collective action for personal (and uncertain) rewards (primarily in the form of improved gear). Twenty five or ten or five people devote a significant...

Battlegrounds vs. Scenarios

2008-09-23 00:03:13 by Geoff in The Greenskin
...WoWs battlegrounds are, in that you are automatically assigned to a team and are given mission based objectives in a specific, closed off area. However, unlike WoWs battlegrounds, WARs scenarios (from what I have experienced so far) actually make sense in a worldly sort of way. For example, WoWs Warsong Gulch boils down to little more than...

...WoWs character creation application. Those who would emulate Dems Bill Richardson and Dennis Kucinich are hampered by WoWs 12-letter character naming limit Is there any value in this information? Hard to say, but Orland points out While tracking WoWs presidential naming race is fun and all, it probably has very little actual value in...

...WoWs windshield. Frankly, if what youre looking for is a game that matches WoW on this level, you may as well just stop playing new MMOs until Bioware comes out with theirs, or youre always going to be disappointed What I can tell you is that our ship combat kicks ass. Period. And its a damn sight better than WoWs. We have to do new and...

West Karana: Being wrong about Age of Conan

2008-05-21 11:59:38 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
 
...WoWs launch turned then-MMO champ EverQuest into a niche game, something Asherons Call and Dark Age of Camelot had not been able to do. So I dont see AoC booting WoW to the curb It sure looks like WoW is weaker than I thought. Since all this interest *must* be largely coming from WoW (nobody else has that kind of presence), great crowds of...

WAR is NOT WoW repackaged

2008-07-30 01:45:37 by Keen in Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog
...WoWs mechanics packaged with a new lore and a couple more features isnt something that can even be considered subjective. Its a completely incorrect statement. Its not an opinion like the game looks boring or the graphics look like WoWs - those things I can accept as open to interpretation or personal tastes and while I can disagree with them...

...WoWs population has shot up from 8M to 11M, an increase of roughly 3M players. Obviously, you release expansions to keep your customers in new and exciting content, but are they also serving the purpose of helping World of Warcraft grow? Without TBC, I dont think wed see the current numbers at 11M Lets talk a bit more about player retention...
