I love MMORPGs. They just aren't doing anything right.
I'm curious. Do explain.
They're over-hyping. That's what I see to be the biggest issue.
-Any skill set will be as good as any other!
~False. There will always be optimized skill sets. It is simply the nature of the game and how it will work. You will never have a perfectly balanced system. I'm sorry, but it will never happen unless you just mirror every class' abilities.
-The game will be an artistic masterpiece!
~For who? The people with the best computers? I just see their masterpiece ending up as a lag-fest or back to par for graphics.
-Cross-Alliance Guilds will be in the game!
~The game is PvP-based. How will this work, exactly?
-You can become the Emperor!
~Most players who pick up the game with intent to PvP will be devoted to becoming Emperor. A great many players will be disappointed to discover that they can't cut it.
I just sense overhype from the Developers. Not the first time that Developers have done this. And I honestly don't see it lasting too long as a major player. Maybe 6-12 Months. I'm just very skeptical of MMORPGs now-a-days, because Developers often make promises they fail to keep.
I live and breathe MMORPGs. Doesn't mean Zenimax will do it well. A lot of players are going in with expectations of great writing, amazing Skyrim-esque Gameplay, and perfect grouping content. That's why I hold little faith in this game. Because a lot of the players are first-time MMORPGers expecting Skyrim 2. They'll get exactly what it says: An Elder Scrolls MMORPG.
