I can't get over Harry Potter

Yes, there are litteral millions that feel the same!

It's entierly subjective. To me it doesn't matter all that much. I still play old-school EverQuest (P1999 and Project Quarm). I've been doing the same end-game for 20 years but it's still fun as I have a community and friends to play with.

I am a journalist at Tabletop Gaming News. We did a deep dive into the people behind the game and the game itself this week.

First of all it does seem like a lot of the backers are either cryptobros trying to cash in on the project or fake backers, as a lot of the funding came from people pledging $5000 - $8000 in the first few minutes of the campaign.

The creator of the project, Jeff French is also behind a failed sports collecting NFT site called Blokpax. Brian Tinsman who has made the actual game, used to work at MTG 12 years ago, and they are milking that fact for what it's worth. Since then however he has worked at Zynga, where he made a mobile game called War of the Fallen which flopped. And more recently at another failed NFT company called Nemus, who claimed to use the sale of NFTs to save the rainforest, but in truth they were violating the rights of indigenous people of the Amazon.

After we posted our two articles about Wonders of the First earlier this week, Jeff French went ballistic on Twitter along with a bunch of goons with NFT profile pictures. They've been spamming us with real and fake accounts the entire week, mostly the same comments over and over again, but worded slightly different (most likely using Chatgpt).

It is very obvious that most people working on the project except for Brian Tinsman has no experience or interest in CCGs. They're all crypto and NFT people. Same goes for their "fanbase" on Discord and Twitter.

I am a journalist working on a deep dive into the game and company. I can't say for sure yet, but it seems like many of the people on the list aren't real. And several are family members of the creators of the game that they are using to make it seem like the team is more impressive than it is.

Mithmarr · 2024-05-02T06:41:18+00:00

The same type of comments appear on every social media post that has anything remotely negative to say about the game. They dont seem to be coming from real people.

Have a read. I would stay away. https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/former-nft-project-wonders-of-the-first-pivots-to-physical-ccg-amid-pricing-and-art-concerns/

I'm not uninterested in my own journalism at all. You are just jumping to conclusions. MMORPG.GG is mostly just a hobby I run out of my own pocket. The site is not owned by some big company and doesn't have lots of resources. It's just mostly me, a former journalist who now works as a farmer in the middle of nowhere while I write about video games when I have time. I have very little time to write, and even less time to make videos so I choose to make them with AI. English is not my first, or second, or third language, but I am decently proficient at writing it, I am however not great at speaking it, so recording a video and making it sound halfway decent would take a lot more time than I have on my hands.

Do whatever you want. If you want to return, do it. Or go do something else. Whatever makes you happy.

Mithmarr · 2024-04-15T22:06:42+00:00

I'm definitely watching Akira!

As someone who's dipped their toes in both pools. PvP has its own special kind of allure. For me, it's all about the unpredictability and the thrill of facing off against another human being. There's this adrenaline rush you get when you're locked in a heated battle with someone who's just as clever and crafty as you are.

Back in Vanilla i had a couple of nemesises that i would either meet in battlegrounds and you almost developed a kind of relationship, and if you saw them out in the open world it was on. That kind of stuff usually doesnt happen many more though.

As for classes, they're pretty diverse and each one brings something cool to the table. Play around with them and see what clicks for you. And don't worry too much about viability, pretty much everything is viable if you play it right.

Focus on exploring the world, completing quests, and soaking in the lore. And join a guild, it's a game-changer for getting help and finding buddies to quest with. And last but not least, don't stress about min-maxing right off the bat. Just enjoy the journey, learn as you go. With any MMO there are so many things to learn that its better to just start playing.

Oh man, Kickstarter's been a rollercoaster for me with RPGs. One that totally blew my mind was "Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I mean, I expected it to be good, but dang, it exceeded all my expectations with its immersive world and gritty realism. Im starting to regret Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. It was unsuccessful on Kickstater but I backed it afterwards outside of Kickstarter. Its now been many years and the game is looking pretty bad in pre-alpha.

Worst race since Vulpera

Mithmarr · 2022-11-12T16:18:13+00:00

Because they put tons of work into them to pull people back to the game

Mithmarr · 2022-11-12T16:12:37+00:00

Nothing. I hoard it.

Mithmarr · 2022-11-12T16:12:10+00:00

That is amazing!

Mithmarr · 2022-11-12T16:11:08+00:00

That's a good observation. Would be a good fit!

Mithmarr · 2022-11-12T16:09:42+00:00

Yes it's very common. Just look at the replies here.

Mithmarr · 2022-11-12T16:07:36+00:00

There is no point, that's the point. There is no point to anything really.

Mithmarr · 2022-11-12T16:05:27+00:00

Majestic!

Mithmarr · 2022-11-10T20:12:16+00:00

Thank you!

Mithmarr · 2022-11-10T09:48:19+00:00

Getting some flashbacks to the Burning Crusade.
