I am angry. Angry about MMOs. Let's face it, they're garbage right now, and the upcoming ones are completely fucked out of the gate.

It's a fucking scam. The juice man and their ponzi scheme referral system is suspicious enough to warrant some skepticism, but recent events put it beyond any doubt, they're fishing for donorbucks. As soon as possible they went for the Kickstarter money but got blocked because their ponzi scheme violates their terms of service. Then, out of nowhere, Kickstarter decides to just let them have it. Seems legit. Then they immediately "extend the Kickstarter" on their own site with a private payment system. Every major gameplay and graphic asset they've revealed thus far has been purchased on the UE4 marketplace, they've made jack fucking shit. It's really a shame because the "sandbox" on rails has major potential.

Your character ages and dies? Not enough people want that to run an MMO, especially a player driven MMO. But this isn't just a normal sandbox, this is ADVANCED SANDBOX. They've got this huge map with less shit per cubic mile than Fallout 3, and seriously expect their tiny playerbase to fill it up. Got a problem with the lack of content? Fuck you, go make your own. Of course the main draw of the game will be for crafters and shit... who will have nobody to make shit for because everyone who wants to just play a fucking game will play something else. What's worse is they're going to be super spread out because the idiots have included a bonus for being the best X in your village/town/city/county/country/continent so there's minimal player interaction. BUT WAIT, BILLY MAYS HERE, THERE'S MORE. The giant fucking map means huge travel times AND there's a goddamn language barrier. WHAT? You heard right, like the Alliance Horde language barrier of WoW, but between different, noncombatant regions. Way to discourage interaction in an MMO, 10/10.
How the FUCK do we save this genre?
