New wave of invites Dec 6

i honestly dont "care" anymore.. ill focus on my backlog and finish Xenoblade Chornicles and The Last Story after that.

I saw a friend who DID get an alpha invite and the game looked IMO like a WoW clone with Final Fantasy elements.. sad

Hopefully they'll be more to it than the basic themepark MMO structure by the time it comes out.

Okay, when people say WoW clone, I think they really mean Themepark MMO (opposition to Sandbox MMOs). Sense WoW was the first one to do that sort of thing and it's more of a subgenre now that all major MMOs are trying to cash in on. Because of that it can feel like they're just cloning the structure, playing it safe and not daring to venture into anything new.

"Cloning" Everquest back in the day wasn't as much of a big deal sense there where so much fewer MMOs out there and people just not bored of the mechanics from over saturation unlike now where such MMOs are a dime a dozen, or they didn't even have a chance to play an MMO before and the whole experience was new.

YAY!! That's an improvement from the cluster-phuck that was 1.0 --- none of my friends would touch that game. So far only 1 of my non-1.0 friends got in, and they love the new direction. Like many others.

Just like Tera and SWTOR were improvements....but.....

You all also have to remember SE listed the requirements for Alpha, if you sent in your application with specs that weren't what was requested you have almost zero chance at getting into Alpha, try again at Beta...

But what? ... Are they closing servers and switching producers? Are they sending out apologies for a horrible launch and failed gameplay?

I'm asking because I honestly don't know.. I haven't kept tabs on these games.

They're going F2P.
They where considered improvements over the other Themepark MMOs but they ultimately failed to impress.
Personally I think it's because of a total and complete lack of subtlety and class in the designs. (It's not, I just really hate the designs they went with)
