It doesn't matter anymore whether or not Eve and Dust are different. They are still operating under the same rules as I mentioned above and those rules don't care if you are a PC MMO player or a console FPS player. You should have seen how Eve start in your case. Eve Online came into a market dominated by hand-holding, themepark-driven MMOs that cater to players of the lowest common denominator. When Eve first launched in 2003, people kept saying how the game will fail because it was too harsh and didn't give players any option to undo their mistakes and that the graphics were so bad that even EA games laughed at CCP for even trying to compete. 10 years later, Eve is now a direct competitor to most MMOs out there including World of Warcraft and Guild Wars while EA games has learned to shove its own foot into its stupid mouth after Earth and Beyond failed to live up to its hype. Even its own economy rivals that of all other games so much that Guild Wars 2 tried to copy it but failed miserably.
Where are the doomsayers now? Oh yeah! They're here complaining about how Dust will fail.
Im sorry but direct competitors? Do you live in a fantasy world? CCP filed a niche market that no one else cares to go for. Guess what, they have around 50k active subscribers. Now, lets count that to other MMO's who have 500k +. Yes, they are certianly direct compitition.
Please, pull your head out of your colon. |

Yes, they are certianly direct compitition. Please, pull your head out of your colon. Eve Online: 500,000+ subscribers who created a universe so dynamic that they're stories are the envy of others. WoW: About 5,000,000+ subscribers who never created their universe and don't really have anything epic going on. Forbes.com has ranked Eve Online as the only MMO that has benefited from steady subscription growth since its birth in 2003 while WoW experiences so many ups and downs that it can't keep a steady climb of players. Hard to say I'm living in a fantasy world when the facts are clear cut.
500k subscribers in 10 years is stupidly low for an MMO. Not to mention how many of those are alts and how many left after the first two months or LESS of playing.

Maken Tosch wrote:@Mosselia 500K quality subscribers for Eve. Sure. there are alts, but you can say the same thing for other MMOs. Tell me, have you ever seen another MMO that allows you so much control over the market, scam other players, gank them unprovoked, cause massive grief in the trade hubs, and create schemes and battles so epic they even brought meta gaming to a whole new level? I thought so. Here, let me show you one example: www.themittani.com
Have you ever seen another MMO that makes giving yourself a lobotamy with a butter knife seem funner? Guess what Tosch, even 500k subs is a drop in the bucket for the games market.
and im sorry but if you think watching tv or playing another game while these 'epic' battles go on is epic, you might just have brain damage.
This is Delt, signing off for the night. Keep your one man circle jerk going Tosch, I hear its good for your skin. |
