Congratulations to Onigato for winning last weeks Massive Mess of an Opinion Question of the Week t-shirt giveaway! Our spy network reports that he’s been spending all of his World of Warcraft gold trying to corner the Inscription market on Arthas and can’t afford new clothes. We’ve got your back (literally) Oni!
We’re running another t-shirt giveaway this week (courtesy of Splitreason.com). Same rules apply as last week. One lucky commenter will score a free t-shirt. All you have to do is have an opinion and leave your wisdom in the comments section of this post to be entered into the drawing. (Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, we’ve extened the deadline to December 4th, 2008 10:00pm EST. The giveaway winner will be announced on Episode 70.)
By now most of you have heard of Tabula Rasa’s untimely demise. It’s never fun to see this happen to an MMO. Dedicated fans get the shaft, employees get canned, and the MMO community as a whole suffers from it.

I’d like to thank the academy… I’ve been forced to start tearing apart my old robes to get the netherweave cloth nessicary to corner the market on 16-18 slot bags… ^_^
I spent the last 24 hours leveling both Herbalism and Mining to over 300 on my new Deathknight. That was PURE & TOTAL torchure. Now I have an Herbalist to feed my new Inscription monkey. (Up to 275 skill) And soon once my Deathknight is 70, I’ll have a miner to feed my JC. For those keeping track, let’s go over my trade skillers:
I have 3 Tailors (420, 375, 375 skills) one for each spec.
375 Jewelcrafter
380ish Enchanter
275 Inscription
320ish Herbalist
315ish Miner
All that on one server. If there was a way to gage AH skills, i’d be 375 in that too. heh
PS: I have no idea what MMO is going to go next. I’ll guess and say AOC, b/c of all it’s broken promises. :-p
It’s a damn shame but this Poll is the FIRST time I’ve ever heard about Saga of Ryzom. I know that we here in Central Europe do not have running water and we ride on polar bears to work (mines or beet fields usually – typical third world type of job). It’s a pitty ’cause I’ve seen some cool stuff over there.
If not this Ryzom, then I say “whatever” NCsoft. This company is in it’s agony state.
why isn’t Vanguard on the list? TR might not be the greatest game but I definitely think that its better than Vanguard
@chrisriggio
Uh…that would be considered “Other.”
Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirk, I mean Jason, I think he means Vanguard warrants a special place on the list.
There is no “special place” for the game that we shall not name in this post.
Thank you,
The Management
I sure hope The “game that shall not be named” doesn’t have any Horcruxes laying around…
I voted swg, if that game isent dead soon something is wrong, though potbs is close to its time as well i think.
Pirates is a goner
Nothing under the SOE umbrella will be shutdown anytime soon. The only one on that list that even MIGHT go down is Ryzom, but that’s pretty iffy since it just got picked up by another company.
I voted Other because it will probably end up being some little no-name MMO that no one has every really played that goes down.
Im going to have to go with Pirates here. Even though its an SOE title, i just dont see SOE supporting this game past 2009. Age of conan would appear to be the obvious choice, but even with 200K subs, its still enough to be profitable. Also, many people are still holding out for the big PvP patch.
COX isnt going anywhere. with their RMT rapage, it gives them even more money to operate.
nameless wants a free t-shirt too
the pirate ships arrrrr gonna crash and burn.
Good question….hmmm….the next Star Wars MMO?
