![]() also, in some games it's lore related (you play a character with a backstory instead of someone you make yourself)Īs opposed to stupid small furry type races? Superior graphics/animation comes at a development cost. Ridiculous UI's that have convoluted designs Sorry for the wall of text!ĭungeons that have no lore significance in the game other then to provide group content There are truely good ones out there but this wave of bad low quality MMOs makes it incredibly hard to pick out the good ones. What I do hate is Korean Trash MMOs that aren't good in quality but seems to be flooding the market with China close behind. I also used to play Maplestory a lot as well as RO. I also want to point out that I do not hate Asian MMOs - I for one love FFXIV, am looking forward to Lineage Eternal and Age of Wushu 2, and have brought BDO. EvE is a niche but that is because it's made for a small pop from the get go. I for one already know that GW2 is doing complete ass outside of Western market and it's already dipped into it's lowest revenue ever with the last 2 quarters. Though I want to point out that I'm not the one that brought up the list. ![]() With the western MMOs it's flipped with the more modern ones doing better on a global scale than the more older ones. Outside of BDO and perhaps BnS the older KMMOs tend to be doing better than the more modern ones. Though there's a trend I've been noticing in this discussion. I'll also throw in Runescape until they started to cut down on the servers recently. FFXI also had global success too that was before FFXIV was around of course. Some Japanese games skip Korea and go straight for the West. Some western games go out to Japan but not Korea. You are correct in that it's a fact that in Asia more people tend to play video games than the western market but to say that the western market is worth peanuts isn't correct because then games wouldn't be trying to expand out to the western market. I'll chalk up a more modern one for your list - BDO has gotten global success in all 4 regions. ESO doesn't have any korean servers so it's also hard to check out there since they are overtime opening servers worldwide. If we're looking at Japan then ESO has a BIG following there. Though the MMORPG genre is stagnant as a whole right now and hopefully we're going to see a resurgence of various types of MMOsĪre we including Japan into this or are we simply looking at Korea? China is bit harder to gauge since the government has to allow the game to pass through so that's a whole different topic on it's own. I'd even say WoW is a stronger global game that Lineage since Lineage is only really doing good in KR alone versus WoW which is doing good in a number of markets at the same time. To say that only WoW is a global scale western game is false as well, they won't do as good as the heavy hitter in the home turf but that doesn't mean it's not doing good in various of markets outside. To say that the West is a whiny market that is worth nothing is idiotic at best and sheer stupidity at worst. There's going to heavy hitters INSIDE the home region. Im quite sure even that is trumped by Lineage 1 and others in Korea. But to developers on a global scale, the west is a whiny and particularly stagnant market thats worth peanuts That's not what I'm speaking of at all though. There are games that do better in West than they do in KR/CH which is a last ditch effort. IF YOU SEND A MESSAGE TO THE MODS ABOUT A POST YOU MADE INCLUDE A LINK TO THAT POST.
