In the official Tera forums
November 24th, 2011 -- Posted in buy Tera gold, Tera farming | No Comments »I believe Scapes and Brother Magneto spoke about this in the official forums when it comes to PK rule sets, these are generally unproductive and cost the company money due to the nieche nature of who it is catered for. Social Online titles need to cater for the 75%+ audience who wants consentual pvp and pve scripted encounters and npcs. This is what sells thier game and creates revenue. Blue Hole Studio may be another developer however it is a business first and foremost and has to cater for maximum returns on thier product. A smaller developer who can spend 5 to 10 million on a title to create a concentrated market is acceptable. Though when a fiscal cost of 50 to 70 million dollars is outlayed combining 2.5 to 3 years game design, coding and evenutually marketting the risks are high and the mass audience must be catered for to target thier demographic properly.
Only mmorpg who has truly made it as being a CAREBARE mmorpg is WOW so far. AION is still young and we will see how it goes, but quite honest , ppl dont stick araund for it . Not for long term.
Lineage2 have a huge audiance right now. The game is old and the official servers are not quite full now , but the private servers are thriving . Dunno how to solve this prob tho. Lineage2 has made it trought 4 years with quite a succes.
I undarstand what ur saying ,and it is hard to apeal for all sorts of players. But the game can have both .
PPl rarely b1tch about a game being to PVP hardcore for them , but they often b1tch about game being to Carebareish.
You can adjust to a risky PVP but u cant adjust for a pvp lacking game . You will ust get boered sooner or latter.
PPL dont play mmorpgs to kill pixels , they want to kill pixels which mater. People controled chars that get mad or happy when kills.
