For what it's worth:
 
"...NCsoft released its own subscription-based title, Wildstar, over one month ago. As the initial purchase included a free first month, NCsoft is about to find out how strong the demand for sci-fi action really is. Traditionally, sci-fi styled MMOs tend to generate three times as much in monthly revenue compared to fantasy-based titles. And the early signs are good. According to Carbine, the game has so far seen “four to five times” as many concurrent users than during its open beta stage. Combined with NCsoft’s expertise, having four titles in the worldwide top 10 for subscription-based MMOs last year, Wildstar is a strong contender in the current market.”
 
Also:  ESO subs numbered 772,374 in June.

I just hope that in the end...we don't get City of Heroed...
Yeah, I still have that grudge with NCsoft

Whaaaattt? Is this guy sure he's not getting things mixed up? I could have sworn I read the exact opposite elsewhere. Which is why there are so few SciFi MMOs. I wouldn't forget about reading it because I remember being very angry at the time at the prevalent plebeian tastes of the mass market. :P (I vastly prefer SciFi and having so few options is irritating)

I actually hope we do(someday), the final months and last days/hours of City were better than any other MMO shutting down. That community was and still is incredible. I talk to other strangers about it and it feels like I'm reminiscing at the end of Kingdom Come at the novelty hero restaurant. Not that I wish ill on Wildstar, but that we go out strong, and not with a whimper.

Kingdom Come is my favorite comic, next to Superman Red Son, the Killing Joke, and Marvel Zombies.

Red Son's in your top 3/5? I mean it's okay, but you're the first person I've heard say that.

Worst gaming move ever.
 
"-Hey, guys, we have a super-hero MMO that is extremely rare and fills a niche while people love it, DCUO is struggling and isn't as good as us and Champions Online keeps getting shafted by its publisher!
-Gooooooood... cancel it!"

Madda hates to be the buster of bubbles, but Madda's played CoH for a time. Yes, it was a super hero MMO, but it had a lot of problems that many people don't wish to admit.
 
Little to no options in the PvP department, a game world that felt barren and unfinished, and missions ><

how meta would it be if that was actually the villain conversation going on in a boardroom about a superhero MMO.
 
*mindblown*
 
 
 
I dunno, I saw him get hypmotized by a vampire in a Justice League trade paperback
 
I'm really fond of Metallo too, I think he's a better foil than Lex Luthor ever was.

most notably Faultline and Dark Astoria, not sure what your gripe with missions are.
 
I agree PVP sucked, but since it wasn't even in the game until a year later, I never expected it to be balanced or good.

I couldn't take it anymore and switched to WoW. The city just seemed unloved. They could have done so much more with it at the time I played ( shortly after launch ).

Your loss for passing permanent judgement based on year one of a game that ran for nearly nine years. The game never stopped growing and improving, and I could spend about half a day listing all the ways it was better than the game you switched to. Flaws? Every game has flaws. They were by no means game breaking in the case of City of Heroes though, and people who don't list them aren't ignoring them, just treating them with minor importance, the way small flaws deserve.

That simply won't happen with this game. Some of our guild members personally know a few of the devs and believe me Carbine would never do it. Then again, every dog has it's day, and eventually games will run their course. By then I'm sure Carbine will have moved on to new things as well (talking ~10+ yrs).
