Tales of Pirates Online advertises itself as “the most anticipated MMORPG in 2007.” Umm… This would not be the most anticipated pirate MMORPG of 2007. This would not even be the most anticipated RMT item shop attached to a Korean game port of 2007. I saw the ad at a good game, and I had to find someone else talking about it to make sure I had not hallucinated the whole thing (you can see the ad there).
(1) Why do I bother? (2) Why did I include a link?

As I am sure I have mentioned before, I’ll be attending and speaking at the indie MMO Game Developers Conference next month in Minneapolis.
My details here if you want to hook up. I’m more than happy to chat with anyone, and the first person that recognizes me as Nicodemus and says something witty gets a free signed copy of my book (hey, I gotta pimp these things).

We have a lot of great sites over to the right. I read several every day and most of them over the course of a week. Good job on providing fun adventures, good humor, and interesting ideas. Unfortunately, because I read so many, I often forget where I saw something two weeks ago when I want to reference it in a post. Sorry about that. If I write about something that you were just talking about, either on your site or as a reply at someone else’s, please feel free to mention and link that in a comment here. You may be just the genius I was thinking of. And if not, I want to hear what you have to say about things anyway.

[Earth Eternal] Iron Realms has released the concept art for most of the races. I am at a loss for words beyond the title, but I think the drawings speak for themselves. Something about… the torsos… I feel kind of dirty. Like, if it had actually been furry porn, that would be one thing, but… I think it’s the body proportions, which make them look like furry midgets.

[Eternal Lands] In a click-to-move game, trees are a menace. Ground, what ground? All I have is foliage!

I love Fox News. But that’s beside the point. Go check out kongregate.com It looks awesome, and I wish I had done it first. Let me know if you like the war bears. This should be very good for the casual and amateur game industry.
[The Lord of the Rings Onlineâ„¢: Shadows of Angmarâ„¢] Barring unexpected change, I will not be pre-ordering, which in this case means that I am never subscribing.
Discussion about LOTRO seems to revolve around three points.
- How much is LOTRO like WoW? To me, similar enough that if I want to play YAFMMORPG, I can play the better polished one.
- How true is LOTRO to Tolkien? I care more about the quality of the game, since I have never dreamt of playing a side quest while Frodo goes to Mordor.
- Wow, lifetime subscription rate! This is perhaps the biggest topic of chatter I have seen, and that is a bad sign. You want people to be talking about fun or revolutionary gameplay or breathtaking visuals, not pricing plans.
Another extended discussion follows the break, without major revision to my previous post. If you like EQ or WoW but want a new one, pre-order at take the $10/month until you go to the next new thing.

Ok, I started this a long time ago and I got a lot of great commentary and feedback from everyone. I thought I would bring it up again, but with a little twist…what is the ONE thing you just HAVE to have in your Perfect MMORPG?
Sound off here in the forums…

PS I decided about bringing this topic back up because of Zubon’s post about game features. Kill sheets are pretty cool by the way.
We have a forum, here. Call it an experiment. I think there are already too many forums, but I wanted to have some place less informal to do things like offer invites or talk about movies. I’ll get rid of it, if it gains no interest.

[Eternal Lands] Yesterday, people were lining up to tell me that a feature I always wanted in a game already exists in various forms and is slated to be implemented fully this year. Later that day, WorldIV pointed me to a game that has another feature that I have always wanted.
Eternal Lands is a bagatelle of an online game that is in beta and feels like it. It has some interesting ideas, insane lore, and graphics akin to ATitD; I can review what I have seen if there is interest. What excited me is that it has a kill sheet.
