MMO Rumor (14 posts)

    Saw on G4 that they were discussing a rumor that Cryptic’s new project they are getting ready to announce is a Neverwinter Nights MMO. The leads they were using for this rumor were vague at best, but…

    This was rumored long ago, glad to see there might be some truth to it. I would love to get into another Cryptic title again. The current two are great but just not the games for me. I haven’t put any real time into an MMO since I stopped playing LOTRO.

    you guys really need to occasionally pop into our vent channel. @Vinny, I kind of know the feeling, though the hop in and out easy nature of them is idea for me at this point, also playing with children is an awesome way to look at things differently.

    1) didn’t realize anyone was still using vent
    2) don’t think I have the vent info anymore

    I am on rather frequently though it might take me a moment to put my headset on. People usually log off just as I have gotten my headset back on and changed channels.

    Our STO Static Night is on Ventrillo every Monday night, 8-10pm Eastern.
    We’re happy to chat it up with people, whether they’re on the team or not. :)

    Okay, all that said can someone point me to the Vent info?

    I PM’d him the password, didn’t want to post it in this public forum since it’s @nimrodblack‘s server

    Nice to see it is rumor no more, and very happy it’s not an MMO honestly. The co-op RPG sounds awesome, and that alone made this jump to the top of my list of anticipated games. I know @Moatengator has been talking about finding a game like that for years.

    My disappointment so far is the limited class selection. But I assume they plan to add more in later as this doesn’t sound like the type of game that ends development at release. One of the things I like most about D&D is the variety of classes and the amount of customization in those classes.

    Finally finished reading the Massively article last night. Really good read, but the Q4 of 2011 launch made me sad. But this looks like one of the few games I would actually like to beta test. So let’s hope they put some sign-ups soon.

    I guess I’m slow. What would be the difference between a co-op RPG and an MMO? Are we talking about something like Counterstrike?

    I would expect a co-op not to have a persistent open world. If a group of us want to play a game we have our own world, we aren’t going to find random people in there. I would consider Guildwars more of a co-op RPG than an MMO, but that’s not necessarily the system Cryptic will be going with.

    That makes sense.
