Check out this Wired.com story about Asheron's Call 2 (an MMORPG)
http://www.wired.com/news/games/0,2101,69848,00.html
The game is gonna end on Dec. 31st, as it's no longer profitable for the publisher, and the report talks about the game world being like a ghost town.
Let not A3 india suffer a fate like this...

Im not sure....but i think the first part was a regular RPG, not an MMORPG.dredpker wrote:SAD LOL
BTW THE FIRST PART SEEMS TO HV SOME ATTENTION
OTHERWISE WHY WOULD THEY HAVE LAUNCHED ASHERON 2?
MAYBE COZ PPL ALREADY HV HIGH LVLERS THERE AND DON'T LIKE TO SHIFT TO PART 2............
REAL SAD THING TO DO.
I dunno. Sify might need to do a hell lot of marketing to attract more players. I saw a blog in which AC2 was akin to a ghost town. But this happend AFTER AC2 aannounced their closure. Many times I see Temoz as empty as ghost town...hardly any population.
Mostly because most Indians arnt aware of RPG's so you can forget about MMORPG. All I see in shops are kids and teens buying Brian Lara's CRICKET!!! Uggggghhhhhhh....U should see some of the chat rooms I've seen..they're still discussing Doom2 Strategies.. no Call of Duty, No GTA San Andreas, no Elder scrolls..
Sify needs to do some SERIOUS media Blitzkreig to get ppl to appreciate why endless hours of killing mobs over and over again is fun!!
Seriously publishers.. 0.001% of the country reads Skoar! and of that 0.01% reads the Back cover where a full page blow up of A3 is gawking!!!
do ur math..thats like only 10000 seeing the back cover..u can count .1% as gaming enthusiast WHO like RPGS WHO have Net connection...Net Result= 10 !!! 10 Ppl joining a3!!!!!!
Humour me!!

Let's also not forget the utterly idiotic mindset that all games are played by kids, ergo, games should only be targeted towards kids, and any bit of sex or violence in them is BAD.
How many of you here get sniggers or 'wat a kid u are' when (if ever) you tell any of the non gaming junta that you are into games?
Balrog, u actually saw ppl talkin doom2? im impressed! Ppl are such retards here, they wax orgasmic about...MARIO. Street fighter. Tetris. People in my office were asking me if there was a pacman for windows xp. Sad.
And the few who do claim to play-are all into those uber crappy(my opinion) sports titles like cricket or fifa. How unimaginative can u be, to think that the only games worth playing are those that are clones of real life games? I for one don't see any entertainment value in sitting and controlling a cricket or footbal team.

***Begin shameless self promotion****
If you search for KOTOR on mouthshut.com ( a consumer review site) you'll find my reviews there on it
****End shameless self promotion****
I'm a long time starwars fan-of the whole freakin expanded universe not just the 6 movies. Wish Galaxies would start here. Btw-Erulmar the HK quit and moved to it, he says it's a blast!
Ok, slightly off topic-Shurtugal who's ur favorite char from these games?
Mine is HK-47 first and foremost!
Infact, I thought of creating an HK and naming it that, pity you cant use numbers in a3 char names.
