jedi had permadeath after 6(?) deaths

and too many people got mad so they changed it to massive exp loss, which no other profession/race had

i remember knowing of people who ended up grinding over 30 professions to master by the time they hit the right one for their silent holocron

but jedis were fucking monsters when they were knight/master status

i prefer relevant games like rune scape

Anyone heard of an age old proverb far far away in the galaxy: 'Everything Sony touched turn to shit, like no other!'

Thanks for that link https://www.raphkoster.com/2015/04/16/a-jedi-saga/

I quite liked how the initial plan was to have force sensitive / Jedi as permadeath non-twink No Time to Rez style.

It was a different time when devs thought players could handle not being snowflakes who deserved everything handed to them on a platter.

Then WoW came along and every fucktard who could log in 30 minutes a week screamed at the top of their lungs if they werent rewarded instantly at all times with endgame content because they paid a subscription fee.

And every mmorpg has been a wreck since.

So you're mad because a business followed a model that generated tens to hundreds of millions of dollars a month in revenue?

How'd that work out for them?

Ahldagor would be just like every other mmorpg wannabe dev. "All we have to do to make millions is copy everything about WoW!" Few months later... "what did we do wrong?"

Even Smed acknowledged it was the worst mistake in mmorpg history.

Did you forget the cemented fandom for the Warcraft RTS games that Blizzard already had? What worked for WoW wouldn't necessarily work for another, less established brand which has been the case.

I'm going to play this emu! I'm normally super casual about games but you might find me on there today/tomorrow (I have a cold ;_; )

Yes, but in my defense it's so easy to overlook the tiny fanbase of ...Star Wars.
