Hate to say this but not everyone lives in the USA. Internet fees and internet connection are not that great in Australia. Playing online games is a waste of time because after two hours you might get kicked off. I have not yet heard of excellent foolproof communications network being setup in this country and most likely wont be for a number of years yet.

Why cant they be like the Age of Empires games which are both multiplayer and single player. Seems to me that would just be good business sense. Then you could cash in on both the single player market and the multiplayer market.

Perhaps single player are small fry, but what would it hurt to do it both ways. I personally dont know many other games that are going multiplayer only. Perhaps there are more I dont know. If however it is such good business sense how come all the others arent cashing in also?
 
I think the reason other companies aren't going for online-only is that most don't have as deep pockets as EA, and Origin already developed the technology for Ultima Online. They also probably learned some lessons from UO that will make POL a better game. Hopefully.
 
Kris isn't from the US either...

Origin maintains a number (over half of them, IIRC) of international servers for UO.

In my ideal universe Origin would make an online WC, but would still continue to create singleplayer WC´s with multiplayer capabilities--> everybody´s happy.

The time is near.
There are 357 days remaining.
 
I didn't say MP's bad, I just said that I can't afford it. I can only hope for better connections, but I think it'll happen a long time after POL will be released

I think Origin can DO it, I just want to see more of the WC storyline (The OFFICIAL one) I.E. what happens to Blair (is he really dead?) whether the bugs come back, etc. Prophecy had such a sequel-ready ending that it would be a shame for that to be the end of the WC story (other than the story created by users in a MMP game). Does anyone want Prophecy to be the end of the story?
 
I for one would like to see what happends next. It would be cool if Confed started an aliance of sorts with the Kilrathi. Imagine taking off from a cat carier and flying missions with Kilrathi pilots on you wing against the Nephilem. Or at least something lke that. It would be pretty cool.

They've got use surrounded. Poor bastards.
Gunner mostly goes to sleep at eleven...mostly.:)
 
There is an alliance of sorts between the Kats and the Humans (not like the Kats have a choice after their surrender
