Well I went to www.rpgplanet.com and I looked at Gothic 2 and it said that it had multiplayer...I was just so happy to hear that but I wanted to know if that's true or not or if it is being changed?
Cause I haven't seen any topics here subjected on multiplayer! Shouldn't you guys be talking about that? I mean come on,we all loved Gothic but the only bad thing was that there was no multiplayer and since gothic 2 is going to be released with multiplayer capabilities (Gamespy???) I thought u dudes would be more excited?
o yea and if you know nethin about the multiplayer and how they are gonna make it can u just post it here please? and can u tell me if there is gonna be deathmatch or CTF kinda modes LoL,that would be sweet! 3rd person rpg with CTF!

People here are very excited about Gothic II. We expect it to be even better than G1.
Gothic II will not have multiplayer. 100% sure.

 I don't think there is a lot of CRPG fans who likes CTF or DM, but i'm sure a lot of CTF or DM players usually prefer Quake 3 or UT2003.

In fact, I'm a greater fan of CTF or DM games than I am of CRPGs, but even I wouldn't like to have a CTF type multiplayer for Gothic II.

I enjoy most RPG games with multiplayers capabilities. However, I don't think its a good idea for Gothic 2 to worry about having multiplayer. For Gothic designers to worry about building a multiplayer addition would take some of the focus away from the main ideas and breath-taking parts of Gothic that truly captured us all in part 1. Gothic designed have enough cut out for them, as we all expect to see a better game in part 2. The reason its going to be a challenge is because most people, much like myself, can't fathom a better game than the one we experienced in part 1. It takes a special balance of attractions to create a great game. We all know the larger the game, the harder it is to balance. That's why its essential that Gothic designers focus on the things that made Gothic 1 such a sucess, and instead of recreating the same experience, create one with such an experience as one part in a massive collection of well-balanced attractions.
If Gothic 2 is NOT as much of a sucess as part 1 was, I am guessing the designers probably will create some kind of multiplayer addition. I call this, pulling a "Neverwinter Nights." Neverwinter Nights had higher expectations than they recieved. Not many responsible want to admit it, but I believe most people who've purchased the game only did so because of the multiplayer attraction. If Neverwinter Nights had been a recreation of Gothic 1, then adding a multiplayer addition would have turned the scales and made the attractions unbalanced and in turn would have resulted in negative advertisement.
Despite the fact that I can't fathom it, I have faith and do believe Gothic 2 will be better than Gothic 1. The Gothic game designers are a very talented group of individuals. I think the creation of Gothic 1 was a pure miracle considering the low income and shortage of people working on the project. I do, however, acknowledge the possibility that that could be just wishful thinking. Gothic 2 has had more money and time to be invested in its creation. In closing, I think its safe to anticipate a phenomenal experience in part 2 - without a multiplayer addition. |

Yes, and I'm going to keep it for a while  .
...the only MP capability in a CRPG I see as useful would be cooperative play (playing the single player story with more folks),

c'mon people ive heard of medival multiplayer before, like everquest, nwn,baulders gate i think,diablo2 , u could have multi[player matches like siege, storm the castle, duels,coaperative play,kill the king,king of the hill,capture and hold, etc. i mean i have yet to see a great game like this think about mp at least since its to late now add a patch later for mp cuz i know u can ive seen other games add mp later too like deus ex so c'mon guys do it for the fans!!!!!!!!!!

On one hand, I'd love to see MP in G2. On the other hand, I dont wanna see 4 Unnamed heroes, 7 Diegos, 4 Gomez' and 6 Xardas all running around impaling each others' guts for hours on end...takes away from the Gothic magic lol |

this is how they should make it, like some of u mentioned about cooperative mp which i think is great and i think that would really boost up their sales,altho i gotta admit, it's better to play sp first rather than mp(learned that from Dungeon Siege) I really hope they release a multiplayer patch, look at all the other games out there, you dont see many sp only rpgs. people these days are sociable so they want to interact with humans while playing their favorite game, to me Gothic 2 aint worth buying right when it comes to the stores without mp. id probably buy the game like a year later when it's cheap and in a garage sale
I WANT MP! WAH! 
p-p-p-pweeeeeez
(cmon think about all the money ull make )

true it would take away the depth of the game to have namless guys or idiot copycats with the same names but i also think it is a fun way to experience the game with your friends and have wars i mean think about it for example shadow bane that is all mp online and g2 could do the same and have seiges where u could battle it out to destroy the enemy base or capture builings and towers and it is also a way to kepp the survival of the game insured by keeping the fans wanting more and extending there skills online by playing with better warriors,and further more it would produce an oppertunitie for the modders to create new modes to play and new weapons and armor
BUT MOST OF ALL
it would prolong the life of g2 and raise sales and by adding mp moders like me would have a chance to prolong its life and share our own creations with an online crowd to add a whole new depth perception to the game and could possibly replace counterstrike as the most popular online game i mean think about it a game of this quality goin online has very great potential and i think that it would give the developers a better chance for a third game that would improve their reputation, get experience under their belts raise more money and allow them to develop a new graphics engine to use in the third edition to blow away online and massive single player games such as morrowind!!!!!! just my opinion i think they could do VERY well if they included mp

exactly,not putting multiplayer in g2 would be a waste of time and money for em' 
even if it takes em another 2 months to make,it should be worth, or add a multiplayer patch later on! i hope they read these forums...
single player games come and go so fast but when u add mp you add sociability (is that a word?) and great fun!
