Asuryan's Flames

So...as many stories go I started out last night with my guild playing musical keeps. Destruction had yet to come out and pick a fight so we wanted to have fun and keep people on the influence/renown grind. As the war band grew with people from other guilds, and just general puggers the complaints started to come in, not only in war band chat but also in region.

People in MMO's complain about everything, more over, they like the all present comparison to WOW. Mind you I quit WOW back before BC, but none the less people think that a 4 month old game should be on par in terms of polish as a 5 year old game. This is wrong and sad as well. I do think that there is place for complaints, especially in a games infancy, we are there to shape it. As paying patrons to a business, if the service sucks something has to change. Mythic has stepped up to this calling and is meeting the demands.

Beyond that though...it is hard for people to grasp that this is a different game with different mechanics so it will feel differently and have different goals. I remember when I started playing wow at release that it took almost a year before I felt the game was 100% stable, Mythic has for the most part done that in a few months. I think this is partly due to the fact that Mythic pushes fixes and patches as the complete them as apposed to waiting and pushing a 3gig patch every 6 months.

All in all, this is an excellent game, and will grow to meet the player’s needs. If not it can and will go the way of the Dodo.
