I was really disappointed by the disappearance of pretty much all content by the mid-point of Arcanum… really, everything was going so well up to that point!

The real question here is when do we get our 4e D&D MMO.

My guess is that WOTC is holding off to see if they can get their insider game tabletop to actually ever work.

Do want yes.

With all the times people said 4e is just an MMO ripoff, you would expect we might actually have an MMO of it by now, cripes.

FOR THE LAST TIME

Quit saying Crypic made CoH so CO blahblahblah.

Jack Emmet is the ONLY person from the OLD Cryptic involved in CO. The rest of the company became Paragon Studios and are part of NCSoft.

The Cryptic that Atari owns is 99% different than the Cryptic that made CoH.

Thing is, why not do Baldur’s Gate online? Or at least Forgotten Realms online, and have the Baldur’s Gate Locations in it? Hell, even add the old quests redone for MMO playing.

I’m sure they’d get more interest from gamers with prospect of going through these nostalgic places anew in 3D.

@Psychopomp
Only the elves and their derivatives are allowed in the cool club.

I’m honestly too ‘invested’ in the Forgotten Realms to switch to Eberron. And I have a soft spot for Gnomes.

It always gets me how these big publishers seem to be constantly slinging multi million dollar law suits at each other. Its no wonder our games cost so much, as half the profits seem to be going into the back pockets of fat cats and lawyers.

Still playing NWN2 Online Multiplayer on persistant worlds, just as I did NWN1. It’s still being actively developed with a new hotfix just this week.

Point is, there’s already a NWN Online and by this point it’s a very mature and sophisticated environment.

All the bashing around Cryptic vs Turbine make me sick.

DDO = Eberron
NwNO = Forgotten Realms

I don´t like the setting around Eberron. So i´ll go for NwNO .. for sure! 2 diff. settings, 2 opinions. Matter of taste..

Fact is .. D&D himself got to many .

PS: NwN2 was epic fail .. but just a opinion.

I would love an online turn-based D&D 4th Edition MMO. DDO just didn’t feel right to me at all. And the super complexities of the 3.5 rules make for a poor real-time computer game.

Holy shit, I didn’t know you were ALLOWED to write comments that long.

Also, Wulf calling Cryptic the “People’s MMO developer” gave me visions of a Communist developer commune watched over by a greedy aging commissar, third of that name.

“Comrade-Artist Photoshopinsky, you have failed to achieve your quota of sexy vampire textures for the week; Comissar Atari would like to have a word with you…”

*BANG*

@Grey

I could never get into DDO because of the lack of gnomes.

At least 4E had the *essential* rules to play one at the outset, before they were fleshed out. DDO has had years, BUT GNOMES JUST AREN’T COOL AND EDGY I GUESS.
