Interview Tim Cain's unnamed MMORPG @ Carbine

[Emotional Vampire]

Since when Skyway used reasoning?

 

[Morbus]

Looking at this statement.. and the signature... I think it may be a good idea to ignore this guy

Indeed, the metric in those verses is all wrong. :codexrage:

 

[Xerxos]

That’s what we’re exploring, because I think our game actually begins when you hit the level cap.

This can be done - refer to AOLNWN. Basically, all MMOs before UO and EQ had a short levelling span and were all about tactical PVP and/or socializing. However, this only interests a small fraction of the potential user base, unlike comparing e-penises with unlimited enlargement potential. MMO without grinding = few thousands users at best.

Well, Guild Wars did it. And they have a lot of users.

Tim Cain

Design Director

FUCK YES

MMO

Awwwww ((((((((
At least it'll be interesting to spy on it. In the worst case it ends like all MMOs with grindfest/ gets cancelled, in the best case we're gonna get the 2nd good MMO.

Well, he does have hair. Natural hair.
Maybe that's the *key*.

 

[gothfox]

Because it's a niche title, so it keeps its players around, and because it only has one server, thus lowering (perhaps exponentially lowering) the overhead costs when compared to something like WoW.

"One server" in question is an expensive multi-node cluster - several machines run the game world and several machines handle the database. I have no clue how maintenance of that thing compares to the shard model but it's not like they run EVE on a twig and a fig leaf.

 

[jiujitsu]

WTB Arcanum 2. Fuck MMORPGs.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

So, how long has he been working on this title and why hasn't anything been released yet?

 

[GarfunkeL]

WTB Arcanum 2.

Also,

is awesome.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Has this even been named yet? This game?

Any screens on it? Anything?

When is this game getting released?

 

[Fat Dragon]

No screens, release date or title yet, but they have concept art on their site.

[Darth Roxor]

Yup. When I found this thread a week or so ago when I was checking Tim's posts, I was pretty surprised no one responded to this one.

 

[SharkClub]

That's almost a 1-year bump.

 

[poocolator]

Does this make me a codex folk hero, or something?

 

[DwarvenFood]

No.

 

[poocolator]

No.

My penis is longer than yours.

 

[Radisshu]

Holy shit, it's Tim Cain!
