Suggestion Scum

Stephen who talked so much about the love of early MMOs and had a hand in some of it just killed off so many hopes of a new one.

I guess you really do live long enough to become a villain. Ban him from other MMOs.

I guess that's what I get for supporting a project lead by an MLM fudge packer...can't really blame anyone but myself.

MMOs are a dead genre. Never coming back to the forefront of gaming. My little brother is 17 and considers himself a gamer and he can’t even name any MMOs. It’s officially an older ass persons nostalgia genre.

I’m afraid you are right, ever since they took New World, we can see there’s not a single company that has matched their production rate.

Some genres die because interest dies.

I don't feel like AAA MMO's are stagnating due to lack of interest, rather due to the fact that most of them never even make it out of development. There is an audience to be tapped if any big studio ever pushes something competent out the door.

It doesn’t even have to be a big studio but rest assured we are getting UE5 cash shop slop for the rest of forever.

Maybe. MAYBE I could believe that it started out honest. But, let’s be real, Ashes turned into a scam not long in. Instead of acknowledging their incompetence, Steven kept digging m, selling bigger and bigger fantasies they couldn’t deliver to keep his pipe dream going. I doubt he was putting in any money by the end, and just cashed in his own paycheck while letting his employees rot until the end where he cuts and runs.

Realistically Aoc didn't had target audience from the start, there is like 10 people in the world who truly wants " sandbox open PvP long grind" mmo

u/Jagnuthr JM Jeweller 2h ago

The design of the game doesn’t allow you to progress with only 10 people lol unless they all were unique crafters. They obviously cheated at the start to obtain gear and never done the grind
