MTV Multiplayer » Mythic VP Explains What Went Wrong With ‘Hellgate,’ Why He Wanted ‘Age of Conan’ To Succeed
The whole article just makes me believe even more so in the idea that these companies are super glued in the box. Darkfall may be looking to go to far outside of it but I think a game that finds a happy medium between what every WoW/EQ clone and Darkfall are trying to attempt could be a huge success.
I would love to see a game that has great PvP but gives some type of time sink or grind for the power gamers. I've always thought a true political system in an MMO with effects over city and world economies as well as trade and PvP aspects would be an awesome way to bring in the masses. Taxes, guards, trade embargo's, alliances, war, and peace. Give me something that makes me feel like I am a part of the game instead of a zombie on the hunt for purples.
