Comments on: Dungeons, Crafting, and Transfers – Oh My! http://mmoquests.com/2009/06/09/dungeons-crafting-and-transfers-oh-my/ A peek into my world of mmo gaming Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:33:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jeremy S. http://mmoquests.com/2009/06/09/dungeons-crafting-and-transfers-oh-my/comment-page-1/#comment-10107 Jeremy S.

But I love everything a MMO has to offer. Unfortunately I gave up my last writing gig, and a chance to have a free Vanguard and EQ2 account :( I wanted to ask if the Book Binding was implemented yet. Some others and I are pushing for a smaller title to implement something similar but the community outcry is that they'll mostly be used for spam, smacktalk, and greifing? I was curious to see, if the player made books are up and running in EQ2 and how it's working out? I’m very interested in in playing EQ2, mostly for the crafting I read so much about.

By that I mean people want to pay for something they'll be able to use and continue using without having other charges and fees to maintain it. It's a question of how you view the game and whether you assign it to the standard 'videogame' classification and are upset when the cost to play isn't one time up front or into a category for 'entertainment' where the continuing costs allow you to continue to enjoy the game and it's community. People who are proponents of the first category will balk at a monthly fee, where people from the second will pay it and be glad of the value and stability it adds to everyones gaming experience. That's my take on it anyway. Ultimately I think it’s the tangible purchase dilemma.

Personally I think MMORPGs are excellent value for money yet I'm constantly surprised how many people argue over the cost. I have a colleague who refuses to play them just based on the monthly subscription yet he'd happily pay the same amount to see 1 film in the cinema. I feel the same way.
