They need to get the game out the door now. Especially after selling pre-orders. Pinch in more artists, whatever, just finish it.

Too many other games coming out the muddy the water and WAR is living hype. They are likely to sell out like Conan, but what happens after that?

If they get it done, and done right, they will make a serious mint. They should have gotten it out already, smashed Conan into the ground (which I think they will easy) and hook players into the gameplay before wrath hits.

WAR is likely to pull the Conan players, simply because Conan is strangely like playing a single player game where you might meet other people in their single player game. WAR seems to be clearly a multi-player environment where you might be able to handle being a lone wolf, yet even your "individualism" still lends itself to the multiplayer cause. Come on, we play MMOs to play with other people right?

WOW and WAR... well, Wrath is going to pull WOW players back. Even the ones like me who are so sick of the game but we will be curious to see what the new lands will be like. Plus, we all want to see what goodies our class can get from another 10 levels. After putting years into those toons, it is hard to resist.

So, Mythic, get your shit in gear! Hire more artists to fill the gaps, put in the long hours, get the game out the door. At this point it is time to firewall the office so that your team can't access any other game online. No more "testing" someone else's game. (yea, I have worked for a game company in the past). Release BEFORE the WOW expansion.

If you get your game out, you'll get people like me invested in a new toon before Wrath. Otherwise, I will be bored, I will check out WOW's expansion and you'll have to wait for me to get bored of that fully to try WAR with focus to get me hooked.

If you want too long, then you have to deal with the other games I am excited about trying. God, please make Champions cool!! I still roll CoX toons just because it is so fun to customize.


Goodluck Mythic
