[Rampage]

gatters does play WoW and guild wars. no time for dem puny mmorpg.                      

[SHiZZ]

but but but... lineage                    

[Rampage]

but but but... lineage

i thought most of allyuh woulda be playing WoW man, i know that some of you done cross over.                      

[bushman5]

lol wow is so much crap it aint even funny                    

[ShinSagat]

lol as a man play lineage 2 and WoW i hope bushman smoke some serious stuff b4 he say that.                      

[bushman5]

dat game it utter balls. graphuics is crap. thne the fast that it takes a month to reach max lvl and have te bets of eveyrthing. a huge popluation left l2 to go to wow only to be back in 2 months.                    

[ShinSagat]

LOL so you rather take a month to go up a level ? Or maybe your rather bland enviroments ? The armour in lineage is spectacular and d trees are well done BUT Warcraft takes lineage apart in gameplay and ease of use. I would trade in Lineage good graphics for variety any day.                    

[Crixx_Creww]

wda bushman talkin bout?

ah month to reach highest level??? he on crack or wah, is not guildwars we talkin bout yuh know, highest level in WoW is level 65
yu eh reachin that in no stinkin month at all.LOL

and gameplay far exceeds that of lineage.

When you do something in WoW yu feel ACCOMPLISHED, like yeahhh w000tt that was ah sweet mission and sweet reward.

graphics doh make everything, the engine they usin on wow makes for smoother more robust playing than lineage.

and the towns in WoW are actually interesting, unlike lin, ... why i wasting my mc time?? it have nooo comparison, the depth of gameplay so far exceeds lin, is like comparing itachi to sakura! no contest!!!                    

[bushman5]

lol any 1 you ever play these games ?? wow has quest nothing more not 1 thing more exceeds l2. the enviroments of wow are very very pixilated and the character models are just a joke. and yes 1 month to hit 65. 65 in l2 takes over a year if you do it without a bot. getting the bets gear takes just as long if you dont ebay it. yes ive played both and i know tons of people who play both. 90% of the people who left l2 for wow came running back within 2 months                    

[ShinSagat]

lol Well you know i go just hadda say to each his own. You can take all dem lineage men pile dem and FIRE FI DEM cuz WoW more badda and it running tings you could go and lime wit bots for a year and battle for days to go up a class. I guess everybody can like what they want

It take them 2 months to run back to lineage ... it take me about 15 minutes to run back to wow..

The highest level in WoW is 60. A guy who exploited unfinished areas of the game hit it in 3 weeks.

Funny thing is...Why are you using the length of time it takes to advance as some kinda guage as to how good the game is?

At least in WoW we doh hadda spend hundreds of hours chopping away in fields aimlessly and saving up for weeks to buy ONE piece of equipment.

WoW's gameplay and class depth outshine Lineage's with ease...come nah man.

If yuh find WoW's visuals are pixellated, get a better computer or up the details.

As for models...as niche style as it might be, at least WoW players have more than 3 facial and hair options. At least everyone not running around looking the same.


I will give Lineage 2 the props for a much deeper PvP system with better consequences, but...
A few weeks after WoW was released, Lineage announced that it would be adding "Light vs Dark" factions in the game in the next patch, giving its PvP a direction very similar to WoW's.


Also, a few other factors:

World of Warcraft: Game of the Year.

Lineage2: One day we go hit 65%

I won't bother to go into the sales figures.



Bottom line is that L2 is barebones gameplay for the hardcore PvP set. Yuh take months to become a force in PvP, and PvP is really the game's only redeeming feature.

WoW is a much more well-rounded experience that focuses on deeper gameplay, a much more interesting world, story, and PvP equally.

And don't forget as well that the game has only been out for less than 4 months, and is yet to experience a major patch. When Battlegrounds is implemented soon enough, watch how yuh L2 boys will suddenly disappear again.                    

[Rampage]

lol@one day we go hit 65%, lixxxxxxx!                    

[Kayode]

This thread is kicks though.                    

[bushman5]

lol game of the year.
Rated game of the yeasr by who. you need to understand thenpolitics of these things. in the asian countried mmpog are a source of 22 billion dollar a year busuiness. whihc america is trying to get into. so obviously in america the american games would get voted game of the year. the tru ratings rated COH number 1 lineage 2 number 2 and wow came much lower than 3rd

point 2: wat you mean get a better pc cracka catch ya self aye.



point3: blizzard are babys when it comes to mmpogs.

http://www.leagueofpirates.com/sirvival/queuedance.html

point 4: you complain about lvling up and making money ? if you ont have time to play a mmpog then dont. wats the point if their is nothing to achieve or do. people say omg so many quests, i dont wanna do quests costantly.

point 5: open beta they had flooded servers with well over a million on 1 server. come p2p day how much , just over 200 000 paying cutomers.  i mena pffft. nc soft has more players than that on lineage 1.  

/flame OFF.  im surgical with this b.itch                    

[bushman5]

o and smll note for thsoe who dont know thats a que line was they cant afford the extra bandwith to support the players                    

[Rampage]

dred...when 66 sites give the game an average of 61.7% an thing, i doh think das politics nah. it mean the game is downright filth. sorry , i know it have plenty hardcore lineage fellas out there, but dred, this is reality. the game get low reviews all across the globe, from uk to us to canada to all over yes. gg. but play whatever suites you, whatever you want, free world, free country                    

[bushman5]

lol  these companies who support  wow also pay these websites bandwith costs. if you look on these websites you seeing big wow adds. and show me a low rating for  lineage in korean  china or any asian a country. you wont see it. and if the game sooo great why they doh try to release it to asian countries.
why cause not 1 man jack will play. dem hardcore chinese go beat dat game in a week and say das all ?? wtmc i want back my money.
you seea games power and a companies muscle when you cna cross over peopels markets and say boy i come here to take your market share.

the also easiest way to see which game is more prefered is to see active accounts. and well  wow dosent even come close                    

[Kayode]

Bushman yuh talking a pack of nonsense. Yuh seriously misinformed about all the facts related to these games.


The MMORPG market began in the States with Ultima Online, Everquest and Asheron's Call. US developers have been making hundreds of millions off of MMORPGs for years...long before the genre got big in Asia.

The general lack of acceptance of hardcore MMORPGS like Lineage is similar to the rejection of dating sims on the US market. They simply appeal to a different cultural ethic.

Games from Japan have been blowing away US games of the same genre for decades. Doh bring no bacchanal talk into this.


The queue line-up.
20 of Blizzard's 88 servers experienced major overpopulation for a month. Those problems were solved weeks ago, and even more servers have been added. Players on 68 servers (including myself and others from Trinidad) were never affected in the slightest.

Blizzard now has 94 servers, which links up closely to the next point.

And just to note, players who were affected by the server issues were given more than a week of free playtime as compensation.


The number of players.

Blizzard had half a million beta testers on over 60 servers during open beta weekend.

Less than a month after the game hit the market, it sold 640,000 copies in the US. 800,00 so far. It sold more than 100,000 copies in Korea. It sold over 400,000 copies in Europe.
It's the fastest-selling PC game of all time so far.

It had a peak concurrency of 250,000 users on at the same time in the US. 180,000 in Europe. 100,000 in Korea.

http://www.blizzard.com/inblizz/profile.shtml


At least 1.4 million copies sold.

At least 1 million active accounts.

All in less than four months.


So all that talk about who is "baby" is ole talk. Blizzard is a Million Dollar Baby if that is de case. They getting a better reception than Lineage on their very first try.                    

[Kayode]

lol these companies who support wow also pay these websites bandwith costs. if you look on these websites you seeing big wow adds.

Lineage 2 had a huge Flash animation ad for weeks on Gamespot.

Gamespot gave them 6.2


If you talking about  WoW Community sites, yuh still eh making any sense. Blizzard gives WoW players access to official WoW graphics, art, fonts etc to create good-looking community sites. The owners of these sites don't have to pay money for these things. All they're required to do is to link back to Blizzard and display the proper copyright information.

This is nothing new in online videogames.

What exactly you surgical with?

Small tings like this you eh know?                    

[Kayode]

point 4: you complain about lvling up and making money ? if you ont have time to play a mmpog then dont. wats the point if their is nothing to achieve or do. people say omg so many quests, i dont wanna do quests costantly

This is the biggest pile yuh talk so far.

WoW simply has more of everything to do. That's why it's such a success. It doesn't push people into a constant grindfest like Lineage 2.

 - If yuh want to grind, which is 90% of L2, feel free to grind in an open field for hours.

 - If yuh want story and quests, there are hundreds of great quests for the players to embark upon.

 - Yuh want to master a profession? Feel free. Unlike L2, WoW has great professions and trades that are open to EVERYONE. Unlike L2, where only Dwarves can gather and build, ANYONE in WoW can have two major professions at a time.

You can use these to equip yourself, make easy money or contribute towards a guild.


 - Tired of sitting down in a field for 2-5 minutes waiting to heal after fighting two mobs, or not being able to buy potions because yuh have to save every cent for months to buy one helmet in L2?
WoW has basic skills that allow anyone in the game to tend to their wounds in battle, heal themselves after battle, and regenerate their mana after battle.
With fishing, cooking and first aid, you have even more things to do when you aren't fighting mobs. Fishing even allows you to find hidden treasures under the sea.

 
 - Want PvP? Even though it's not as deep or consequential as L2's yet, WoW has the best foundation for PvP in any MMORPG so far.

Horde vs Alliance. Two distinct factions with two different languages. Two different continents.

Makes much, much more sense than Lineage's "everybody could lime with everybody" factions.

So much sense that even L2 is adopting that system.

And with Battlegrounds only a few weeks away, watch how yuh L2 population will start tuh shrink.


It doh have no competition here bushman...WoW is de game.
