| WoW: Comparative Preview @ FileFront |
|
FileFront has posted one of their <a href="http://articles.filefront.com/184" target="_blank">Comparative Previews</a> for 'World of Warcraft', where they compare WoW to competitor's such as EverQuest:<blockquote><em>Skepticism has become second nature to online gamers in the past 3 years after hoards of gaming companies have all tried to discover the “holy grail” of gaming: MMORPGs. Far too often it has been profit and unrealistic deadlines that have driven these companies to release games that lack creativity, depth, or just plain fun. Flops such as Earth and Beyond, Eve Online, and Asheron’s Call 2 are perfect examples of what could be considered lacking in the kindest of terms. An MMRPG should combine adventure, strategy, risk, community, and economy into a synergy that keeps us glued to our seats despite a growling stomach or nagging girlfriend. It is no surprise so many fail; creating a massively multiplayer game is an enormous endeavor that requires years of development and funding. EverQuest is one such game that managed to make the cut in gamers’ views, consuming hardcore gamers’ sunshine for months, if not years.</em></blockquote> |

Not bad, even if it is written from the view of a pure fanboi. I take exception to his claim that Eve was a flop. At launch, there was limited interest, but that has picked up quite a bit along the way, and it's definitely (of course, imo) the best space game out there, as long as you like pvp.
I love wow, got my pre-order in, I'm just concerned about the pvp. Hopefully battlegrounds get finished as planned, or at least released not too long at launch (since the game is just around the corner at Nov.16th), and more depth is added to pvp asap. |

Even tho I enjoy warcraft and am looking forward to WoW, I'm disgusted
by seeing such a lame comparison review. The author is comparing a late 2004 game with one thats 5 years old. Note that the author always references Everquest and not EQ2. This review would have been nontrivial if it had compared WOW to EQ2. |
