As a seasoned MMORPG player, AC is one of the best out there. Of all the major name MOG's, it is the second best released to date, only falling behind that of Everquest. AC is a great game.
Anyway, back to the original meaning of the message, my point was...how do you feel, those of you who are gamers...that you are part of a large, utopian, psychology experiement?

Lol. I do mass gaming and still find AC to be crap. All hail SWG. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) ANywho, its quite interesting that they would make a study on it. I'd feel special if I actually was part of an experiment.

Hmm..
someone move this to gaming please
I want to debate AC with you.
Now, as a seasoned MMORPG player/Beta tester...tell me....how is SWG superior to...even AC?
SWG is just a franchise. It has nothing new or exciting. The gameplay will be nothing new, nothing to work for except treadmills.
The ONLY reason people will be playing the game is because it is in the Star Wars Universe.
The concentration should be more focused on gameplay (though the depth of the world is VERY important-compare EQ to SB on that one). Games such as Horizons or Mythica will revolutionize the MOG scene because of their new, exciting game play that draws the user in. Check out both

I think that you can not compare the two. One uses the right side of your brain (RTS games) in the lines of mathematics. The other uses the left side of your brains (RPG games) in the line of writing/creativity/story-crafting.

maybe so, but i like the competitivness behind the whole idea of RTS gaming, that is something RPG's can just not do imo, that and i'm not much into role playing

actually RPG's ...in particular MOG's...offer a HIGH level of competition in a different format. Raids, Quests, Tourney's....dare I mention PvP?
As each MOG enters into a new age (we are in age 2, and age 3 is coming up), the depth of the MOG's increases.
Cheack out some games like
Middle Earth Online-http://www.middle-earthonline.com/
Horizons-http://www.istaria.com/
Mythica-http://www.mythica.com/
World of Warcraft-http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/
You might like some of those ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Oh yea and move to game forum please
