Anevania, I'm gonna take this one piece at a time:

For those of you complaining about OOW let me enlighten/flame you for your lack of RL/Real life Concepts...
I. Everquest/SoE is a major Corporation...
A. Major Corporation wants to make money in any way, form,
shape, or fasion (if we pay for it they will build it).
B. We the consumer's buy/rent what we want when we want
it. (also known as Supply and Demand) [ LvL 65 chars.
have no more playing grounds other than GoD].
C. 5% of what the consumer wants is what they get equaling
100%+ in profit for the corporation and 5-100% satisfaction
with product/products (or my nice way of saying EQ/SoE will
give a little if you pay a little)[$13 a month for SoE isn't
enough money for them to offer you toll-free customer
support and fix all the bugs, patches, continue game
development, or wait on you hand and foot]

General - You are correct, SOE is a major corporation and as such they have (at a minimum) a 5-year plan in place. This 5-year plan will delineate how they are going to get LONG TERM profit. As another poster stated, consistantly not delivering the promised product/delivering a faulty product will not keep you in business for long.
edit to add this portion:
B - No playing grounds for level 65 characters other than GoD? I guess I completely missed where Halls of Honor, Bastion of Thunder, Droga, Veksar, Sol C, Vex Thal, Hate's Fury, etc. became no experience zones for a level 65 character.

II. Those of you complaining.
A. your either children with no understanding of real life
concepts, money, supply & demand, and/or profit margins.
B. your not lvl 65 in game yet and complaining because the
one world where you might achieve greatness keeps
looking down on you and your goals keep seeming
unattainable.

A - I am far from being a child, and would be willing to bet that my children understand this concept
B - I am level 65 on my main. I have a many small goals in this game (visit every zone at least once, finally beat the RNG and get the SEoC to complete my epic, etc) I have been to several GoD zones and before the "retuning" a full group (CLR, WAR, PAL, RNG, BST, ENC all 65 but PAL (64)), not Ele+ geared, resulted in a 3 hour CR.
In short, in this section YOU are stereotyping (Racial profiling is also stereotyping) everyone that has said "Hey, the emporer has no clothes on" into one of two groups and many of them do not fit into either of those groups.

III. My conclusion.
A. For those of you that are narrow minded/just so dense
that you didn't understand what points I am trying to get
across to you [ don't knock something you don't/can't try
because your lack of experiences/experience points in this
case]
B. To the lovely teenagers that know everything please dont
post nonsense if you dont even pay for your own acct.
C. OOW if carried out right can add a new level of playing to
the Everquest community and I hope to see you all
exploring OOW with me as we further our experiences by
mastering one of the best RPG/MMORPG's ever released.
D. We pay to play.
|
A - I think I understand your points, but your logic is flawed which makes the conclusion flawed.
B - Who is paying for for the account someone is playing on has no bearing on the validity of the complaint(s).
C - GoD, if carried out right, could have added a new level of playability, unfortunately it was not carried out right. The Dx9 implementation, if carried out right, could have added a new level of playability, unfortunately it was not carried out right. Just two recent examples of the faulty product they have delivered (this establishes history)
D - Yes, we do pay to play. We also pay for new content. We have a choice, we can hand them ~30USD for what will (from the recent track history) be an unfinished/poorly implemented product or we can keep our money. In my case I am going to keep my 30USD (x4 accounts.)
Ultimately it comes down to "cheat me once, shame on you; cheat me twice, shame on me."
