MMOs killing single player?

Re: MMOs killing single player?

Bookmarked blog.

EDIT: Aside to Taskmage... It's important to note that MMORPGs offer only the ILLUSION of permanancy. All MMORPGs will eventually fade and shut down as their player base erodes - the minimum necessary playerbase to hold most MMORPGs open is estimated to be around 30,000. When the number falls below that, the game dies, the servers shut down, and the characters and game worlds go byebye with them. Just ask the folks who've played one of the MMORPGs that have died over the years, such as Asheron's Call 2.

A point I try not to acknowledge, but also the reason I put quotes around the word permanent in my post. I continually hope that FFXI will prove to be an Everquest rather than an Asheron's Call. Either that the player base will remain to support the game or that S-E will find a way to move the game forward into new technology rather than abandon it when it becomes outdated. The multi-platform nature of the game gives me some hope of this.

Double Post Edited:

Unreal Tournament? Pinball Rocketlauncher mod 4 life. I still love that game.

XD The last thing I did with that game was Stealth+Instagib Last Man Standing. Like tag with everyone invisible. ^^ That kept my group entertained for quite a while until we figured out some people had a natural advantage because of the way different hardware displays the invisibility effect. =/
