An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events
MMO-Champion
Well I joined last free weekend and got hooked on the game and bought it. I probably wouldnt have bought it otherwise and just waited for a standard free trial.
And I'm nabbing around in warzones =) Nah, they aren't really that difficult to learn the objectives on really. If the nabbing means being lowlvl there's not much to do about it.

They want to break with the mindless conformism present in other MMOs. Let maintenance no longer be restricted by such antiquated concepts as "regular weekly scheduling"! Break with the past - embrace the future of dynamically scheduled patching technology.

Growing up in Korea I can say this is a game that would have next to no appeal there. Not when TERA and Aion dominate Korea's MMO play right now. Originally Posted by SirRobin

Hopefully it fixes the proton torpedo/missle bug! (I like space missions, sorry
)

Very true and that is the same reason Aion failed and Tera will fail in NA, because our markets do not see eye to eye when it comes to video games. WoW and SC are probably the only to be as successful in both markets. Originally Posted by Quackerjacks

Yep, though WoW is actually played by a very small demographic there. I can walk into 10-15 cyber cafes and I'd be lucky to find someone playing WoW. Originally Posted by philefluxx

Out of kinda OT curiosity, what are the style of features/gameplay that tend to attract a korean audience to an mmo/game? Originally Posted by Quackerjacks

Yes but it is such a huge market that TOR might be able to carve out its own niche. Still I personally can't see TOR lasting long though because what it tends to take "western" audiences weeks to burn through, an "eastern" market could go through in days. Originally Posted by Quackerjacks

Koreans enjoy their open world PvP which is why games like TERA and Aion flourish. You'll see them dabble here and there in end-game PvE, but only few take it seriously to the point like KIN with WoW. To them immersion and story aren't as important as playability and competition.

That is part of my concern. Opening up in Asia would probably get TOR passed the two million mark. Or, at least, reach it in the first place. Originally Posted by Quackerjacks

Plus they could also get the china market too. By what I have heard a majority of wow players there quit when they heard about the whole expansion doing with pandas. They are pretty sacred there and offended a ton of wow players there.
