PAX East 2011 Triple Threat: MMOs are Anything But
Loading...
Uploaded by GeekNightsRym on Mar 25, 2011
Rym and Scott of GeekNights presented three mini-panels at PAX East 2011 within "The Triple Threat: Short Subjects in Gaming." These were "MMOs are Anything But," "The Game Makes the Community," and "Dudebro: How to Win at the Internet."
This is the first of these mini panels from the Wyvern Theatre. They argue that MMORPGs as we know them are not in fact anything like what their "genre" would lead us to believe.

@tempatureplus I dont think that the tech isn't here, i think its just the businesses that are running games that are making it the way they are. Yes GW2 is in the right direction, but its still not there yet. To create a world that changes based on what every player does would require atleast 20 years preparation for a single person to have an effect on the entire world. Its just not possible time wise or business wise to take that long to create a game of any kind, let alone a true MMORPG.

GW2 still has a personal story and instanced PvP zones, etc. It's a step in the right direction though, problem being that the technology just isn't there yet and the audience isn't there yet.

Hmm, gw2 too have instanced content(dungeon). Interesting if you think about it, after you watched the vid. Still hope gw2 wont be ruined by anything.

@dreydman1 I believe when the first GW was release they didn't label it an MMORPG. They labeled it something along the lines of a Casual Competitive Online Role Playing Game. They wanted to stress to players that the game didn't requires hours and hours of time but was still extremely competitive. So even with GW1 they were looking away from the model at the time.

The people at Arena Net watched this video and then made a game contradicting everything they just said. GW2 is revolutionary, can't wait for it
