ROFLOL...I'm in POTBS now, but sony doesn't have any MMOs to compete with the heavy hitters coming out.

Never heard of Everquest? Not as big as WoW or Guild Wars, sure, but it's pretty fucking big and has a rabid fanbase.

 

 

OT, SCE better have a damn good plan for MMOG on the PS3, no one is gonna pay 15 bucks for every MMOG, this ain't PC, that business model WILL NOT work on consoles, maybe a flat fee for you to play ALL MMOGs on the PS3, ideally it'd be free.

 

 

They already have this... I normally purchase it when I do subscribe.  It allows you to play almost ever SOE MMO for a flat rate.  It was stupid of them not to port EQ2 over to the PS3, but I'm glad they didn't.  I don't really want most console players running around in my MMO.

edit:  I guess Sony Fanboy doesn't extend to SOE games does it?  The funniest thing is watching a WoW player try to wrap their heads around the play style of EQ2.  It doesn't look much diffrent at first, but if they've only played WoW it's amusing.

Yeah the funny thing is they've dumbed down EQ2 a lot to the WoW player. I remember when you and had to actually earn your class? I really miss that feature. Although I don't craft, I know that crafting was made a lot easier as well.
