What an epic way to end an MMO... well in theory anyway.
That was epic to read, it must have been so awesome being there. I can't imagine devoting so much time to an MMO like some people do, and then having one last showdown before it all went away. The way it ended, with the "You have been disconnected from the server" message, KNOWING that everything is just, gone, would have been a crazy moment.
Wow, that's still sad though. I see this game being sold in some places and I almost wish I could just tell people not to buy it since they'll be sorely disappointed in being unable to play anymore.
Makes me wonder how Blizzard will end WoW if they ever do.
Doomsday: Wow's servers wouldn't be able to handle everyone being in the same place at once, because too many people play it. They tried this with the second/third (ahn'qiraj) dungeon update. I'm pretty sure all of the servers crashed during the event.
Not to say this was a bad idea, just poorly implemented on Blizzard's lacking hardware. If MMOs could scale better during an event like this, I'd be all for it. Unfortunately, the MASSIVE part of the games is exactly what makes them so appealing. Hopefully CCP's World of Darkness game will have a ton of events like this one, only there hopefully won't only be one huge one before the game ends.
That's crazy. Awesome event.
Very cool that you were there. What exactly is the Bane anyways?
It could have been better. If Garriott hadn't quit a few months ago, he could at least fought bravely until the end as General British or whatever his character name was. Then announced something about launching the nukes, I dunno... at least they tried to end with something fancy.
damn I actaully had high hopes for it too
Kind of wish I had played so I could have been there and appreciated it. Maybe i really do need to switch PC for my next rig...
I remember constantly looking at Tabula Rasa for well..the chick on the cover and cause it actually looked pretty interesting. Never could my laptop or current desktop bother to run it decently but it looked very interesting and NOT WoW cool.
though i'm quite sure most other interesting MMOs wouldn't fail if people stopped riding WoW's nuts 24/7.
I shed a tear for the fallen MMO.
Never played it, but it's said to see a developer's dream die.
Or, sad, rather than said.
So in the end humanity is wiped out by the aliens. That's telling.
