Mh… Did it ever occurt to you thatit is not the question how fast you make something, but how well you did it?
Whole world is saying “do it right, and do it on first time, because you can only make best first impression on a first time”. You made bad first impression and no matter how often you will try to make it look better, it will still be bad… very very bad first impression.

Live with it!

Oi! We’re doing something different, and we’ve been doing it for 7 years now! I can’t blame the lack of success on that difference tho; but the fact that the game has lasted 7 years sort of underlines that players are looking for something different. They just aren’t looking to have their fingers grated on a cheese-board while enjoying the difference, or else WWIIOL would probably be more successful, and since I joined 5 years ago, they’ve been struggling for the investment necessary to actually apply what they’ve learned and turn the game around.

Ok, so I’m a wierdo. I’ve known that for years. I’ve played WoW and it was pretty much a chat room with bright, cartoonish colours. No real difference to Diablo, Neverwinter Nights, et al. RPG games are all similar.Take a breath, step back. Remember “there is nothing new under the sun.”

Funny how you give Blizzard a pass when all they did was took the same shit, gave it more polish than any MMO before and dumped it on the masses to play.

Don’t get me wrong. I love WoW. Always will. I just wouldn’t call it innovative by any stretch of the imagination.

It’s not rocket science, hence the frustration.

It might as well be to the monkeys in suits who call the shots, Lord Pall.

These people are, in general, CLUELESS about the product their companies produce, and clueless about what their customers actually want. It’s not a new phenomenon, either.

Check out this game, It seems to offer the innovation you desire, though its more a question of when:

You do know that you’re asking for the impossible here. Proposing that these companies who make this crap already to stop making it and make something good. It’s just not going to happen. If they were capable developers than the games they’ve made already wouldn’t be a huge collection of suck. MMO’s are always going to be associated to a big sac of cash, and general appeal will win in the end, if not on the developer end, then on the publishing end.
