(on rubenfield’s) I love how there’s a gold farmer ad right beside the article i’m reading lol.
Ok…i just read all 3. Mmmm…a little unhinged on the bloggin there guy. I’d tone it down some…you still have some work left in ya
I never played SWG and only know of the NGE what I’ve read about, but I would concur with Rubenfields conclusion that once the groundwork systems design for an MMO are done, they shouldn’t be changed radically after launch really. May as well make v2.0 or a new game with your fancy-shmancy new mechanics or whatever. Of course the inherent problem with MMO’s is that a) they do change quite a bit over time anyway, and b) you want the product to live as long as possible. It’s not like a single-player RBP ship/patch and forget :/
