Dammit, could you people stop threatening my livelihood with your wacky speculations? For, you know, at least a month or so?

I’m picturing executives waving merger proposals at each other, shouting “There can be only one!”

EA still has money after buying Bioware? I think your Korean Soul Jar is fine until Smed buys it for his personal collection.

That’s what you get for trying to escape the EA langoliers when you fled Mythic. And for your sake I hope krones is horribly wrong and you never end up under Smed’s heel.

Fuck. Its like they are stalking you… RUN LUM RUN!

Sounds like the analyst forgot about Mythic.

Mythic doesn’t have a “category-killing” MMO.

ouch.

Mythic doesn’t even have a “category-bruising” MMO.

Listen here, sonny, back in the day, UO punched the category in the face. Right in the face, I tell you!

I’m not even sure how to read that phrase.

How much killing does a MMO have to do before the category is considered dead?

What is a “category”? Is that analyst lingo for genre? Or does it have to kill ALL GAMES EVER MADE EVER to qualify?

This is so confusing!

It’s a huge deal, creating a real threat to Electronic Arts, particularly as EA does not yet have a category-killing MMO.

Lol, so why are they looking at NCsoft?

Just kidding, I just love all these mindless rumours and conjecture after a major acquisition. It’s like they have nothing better to talk about around the watercooler.

I’m secretly making a porn MMO. You can level up as a buyer or a seller. Every single thing you do in the game gets you experience points that you use to buy either appearance changes or housing changes.

Someone buy me.

“I’m secretly making a porn MMO. You can level up as a buyer or a seller. Every single thing you do in the game gets you experience points that you use to buy either appearance changes or housing changes.”

But I have no experience points to pay for this housing upgrade that your team of hairy Germans with comedy facial hair have just delivered?

Bow-chicka-bow-chicka-bow-wow…

“I’m secretly making a porn MMO. You can level up as a buyer or a seller.”

Typical class based game. It would be much better with a skill tree so that you can level up as both.

“EA still has money after buying Bioware? I think your Korean Soul Jar is fine until Smed buys it for his personal collection.”

And he’d keep it on his desk and shake it once in a while to see if it spins around like a snow globe.

I thought there was a rumor News Corp. wanted to buy NCSoft, but I guess that one’s two years old.

Everyone knows that skill tree games end up with cookie cutter templates. Just let anyone buy any skill with no trees at all. Why should we wait until levelled up for the good skills?
