Didn't anyone notice this was necro-bumped from 5 months ago?

Hey there,
I'm new to these forums but I am noticing a LOT of these threads are like months old.
So if you're a regular, tell me: Are these forums just slow-moving?

Or is there is necromancer running around casting Raise Thread?

Also, OP: World of DrageAgeCraft. I would love it but only because I  DA. It would probably be a terrible idea D:

Easy explanation.  Poster does a search for MMO like a good soldier to see if the topic was discussed.  Then bumps it with his comments in tow.  I don''t see the big deal.

Oh, I have no real problem with it
I take it that is the culture of the DA forums.
These forums are slower, though aren't they? I checked out the other set of Bioware forums and they too seem to be stuck in November 2009.

Or is everyone in the Awakening section?

That other board with the blue background? Yea those are for old titles so won't get as much traffic.

I love DA:O and DA:O-A was great but to short. But anyway I'd like this idea personally, I play RPG's because I like them! I play console RPG's, online RPG's, read RPG books, and even play RPG dice games. Most of them are great, others not so much. Been playing MMO's for so long I've lost track of time. I played WoW since beta but have since left, played AION since beta and left that also, now playing Star Trek Online and I love it. It all comes down to personal preference! If it could be done I would try it out, just like I'd love an Oblivion MMO. But HEY that's ME ....

It wouldn't even work as an MMO. There are like four races in Dragon Age - humans, elves, dwarves, and qunari. Since the main difference between humans, elves and dwarves is more cultural rather than physical abilities the variation isn't really there.

No way! i'm sorry but this game is good enough as a SP-RPG it's practically one of the only good SP-RPGs and I for one certainly think we don't need another WOW

An MMO doesn't have to be all bad. When the original poster said he wanted something similar to WoW that kind of made my lose my interest.



On the contrary...I would like an MMO that is NOT like WoW!



What if we would go multiplayer style...like Neverwinter Nights (as many have mentioned). Then the "MMO" could be "Many MMO's" spread out on many servers. Just like the persistent world servers of NWN.



I know Dragon Age got this in it somewhere. It was just removed or not released with the game because it was unfinished.



Don't forget that the multiplayer capability was something that was intended for Dragon Age from the begining but a marketing decision removed it because it wouldn't generate enough gold coins.



This is a game aimed at you...the broad audience (sorry, no offense but this is the way I see it).



All of Biowares latest games have been like this. Mass Effect 1&2, Dragon Age, Jade Empires, Star Wars and who knows what else...all are aimed at a broad single player audience.



Yes..hold your horses. I know Bioware are making an MMO. First it is not a fantasy game and secondly they are aiming straight for the broad audience again....the WoW kids...or well the "Another WoW clone MMO". Because it is Bioware they are doing it with a twist. Sure, but it is not enough for me.



Maybe some other company needs to raise from the dust to make a game that I would like. Just like Bioware was before when they made games like Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights.



For now I just want something to replace Neverwinter Nights 1...but I am afraid I am in to a long wait...

As you prolly know, NWN was never designed with PWs in mind. The game was designed to facilitate 2-8 people all playing a dungeon module/campaign, with an optional DM to tweak/change the experience on the fly. (Because he doesn't have to do the stuff that a DM in a PnP setting does, like roll the dice, or look up things in tables, or arbitrate what happens when a player does something).

Many people are using it to run PW servers, which can support anywhere from 50 to 200 people on them at once, with continually updating content (a la a MMO or maybe more like the old-school MUDs but with graphics), but that wasn't what the game was written for.  I only raise this because people on the NWN forums used to complain that there was no tech support for people running these PWs nor would they change the game mechanics to work for them; and the answer to that was that was never their intention to support these things in the first place.

Incidentally, you know this .... how?

As far as I know, MP was something they decided never to work on originally, not something that was originally there but got "feature cut" out of the game. 

BTW, I don't know what "broad audience" you're addressing. I was playing single player RPGs before there was a BG1 or BG2, and I have fond memories of those. Hell I played the original Bard's Tale, not the sequel. I don't know how narrow a gaming community we were back then, but I was part of it. 

There was a time where you could, as a single player, run a party of characters. Yes, I know, that's not how you do it in Pen and Paper where you just play your own, but that difference was established early on for CRPGs. For a while I thought that type of CRPG was disappearing, being replaced by only games where you either play a single char and ... that's it (like Witcher or Oblivion), or you play a single char in a world full of dozens or thousands of other people playing their char, mostly asking you to buy their gold, duel them, or check out their raiding gear. 

Thank heaven it feels like the "classic" era is back - but now with today's graphics and engines - and a Toolset for modding. I'm in heaven, or would be, if the recent expansion wasn't plagued with bugs & a rushed feel.

This is what I want:wub: I guess I just my cake (a very good single player game aka DAO) and eat it also (play with others online)  Someday, I hope... Until then, I keep asking for it....

so?

I swear you people are NEVER happy...

someone makes a duplicate thread and low and behold someone like you comes along telling them not to clutter the forums and to learn to use the ****ing search function and USE the threads already out there on the subject.

someone actually does JUST THAT..and people like you **** and whine that they used an old thread.

it's asinine.

Um.
Did I complain at all?
I mention the 5 month old necro-bump simply because people were quoting posts that were months and months old as though it were an ongoing discussion.
Re-read the thread, and pay attention to the posts in the last few pages, specifically the dates of the posts they are quoting and responding too.
No, I'm not complaining about it.
I really don't care one way or the other to be completely honest.
But I thought it was worth pointing out that those particular lines of conversation were long since dead.
However, if jumping all over my post allows you to feel better about yourself, then good for you.

We are still talking about the topic (at least we where), but with long long "cool down" times...
