I can't help but notice you still haven't presented any proper reason why this site caters to 12 year olds, or why it's bad for that matter... You're just saying "I don't like it, therefore it's bad" which puts you to the same reasoning level as the average 8 year old... Catering to a particular group and aiming to a…
What exactly do you expect them to do? They will start giving out keys when they announce the beta dates. There's no reason to start giving out keys at this moment, when we are still far from the start. They only gave keys at PAX and the Torchlight preorder because there was simply no other timeframe to give these things,…
Let me ask you this: why is the game supposed to be aimed at a mature audience? It is indeed true that the traditional D&D audience is probably well into their 30s or 40s... However, this also means that they have much less free time to dedicate into their hobby than they used to have back when they first started to play…
Why, yes, it is indeed missing something very essential... THE GAME! People just have to accept that this is now a PWE game, and they have their own way of doing things. Which btw involves not giving much information about their upcoming games or their launch dates until the actual game is available for download. They even…
Every single f2p MMO has to make money somehow, which means that in every single MMO the f2p system will be unfair to some. People condemn pay2win as this is the worst possible model, but it's not. It is the worst model IF you, as a player, are in the game for the PVP competition. Which is why I often facepalm when people…
B2P is a ricky bussiness model for MMOs. MMOs have far higher maintenance costs than any other type of game, because the companies have to keep vast, persistant worlds running on their servers 24/7 and keep developing the game non-stop for as long as the game is live. Other types of games just have the initial developent…
That is not what f2p is however. f2p is FREE to play, and as long as they are charging for the box, then it's not free, therefore not f2p. By that same way of thinking we should be calling games like CoD and ME3 f2p. Would you really call those f2p? I don't think so... The correct term is b2p, as in buy to play.
The game is f2p, so there's no way to buy it in any form, digital or physical - just free download. CB is coming in a few months, and that is when more info will probably start being given out. Also, Cryptic was bought out by PWE and they tend to do things a bit diffeerent (ie they generally don't give out any substancial…
And how do you know that it will be primarily for testing and not for marketing? If anything, chances are i will be pretty much ready for release in the 1st or 2nd phase of CB - that's what almost every MMO devs and publishers do nowadays, and that's what PWE does. And that's why they give away so many keys and practically…
