EVE Online Gold [Apr 23, 2003, 10:18 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Simon & Schuster Interactive sends news that EVE Online: The Second Genesis,
their MMO space game, has gone gold. They say the NDA on information about the
game has been officially dropped as of today, and the official launch is slated
for May 6 (sorry for messing up the date at first). They also send along a
batch of five new screenshots, and word that the game's producer, Mike
"Campion" Wallis will be in the EVE Online IRC Channel today at 5:00
PM EDT to discuss the announcement. The chat will be conducted on the server
stratics.frws.com in the channel #eve-online.
that EVERYBODY that played MMORPGS had this attitude :
I'm certainly not gonna pay 13 bucks a month to continue testing the game for them.
Because every single damn MMORPG that comes out these days does this EXACT thing. Beta is still crap, crashes, bugs, runs like shit, but what the hell, lets release it, that way we'll at least make money of it.
And because these fanboys KEEP BUYING THE SHIT IN ITS BUGGY STATE, no publisher will EVER change their release strategies concerning MMORPGS.
Hell, I only play MMORPGs in beta anymore. At least that way it's free. Once it's released, the quality of the gameplay doesn't improve all that noticeably for most of the MMORPGS, at least not until 6-12 months after release (at which point I have already long lost interest in it), and I refuse to pay both a full price game fee AND a monthly fee for the "privilege" of being ignored by the game's developers.
There is a certain MMORPG that was supposed to come out a little over a week ago. Let me just say that it is a VERY good thing that it DIDN'T come out over a week ago, and I seriously hope that it WON'T come out until another four to five MONTHS of aggressive bugfixing.
