After all, said devs just made their own indie game studio to keep working on MMOs. But maybe this is not what you meant.<br /><br />Mobile games definitely have been hot stuff - I'm not sure how much that still is the case for new games being released now: there's a lot of competition. I have no clue what direction Turbine is planning to go on the mobile games market, but this is where we part ways. The only mobile game I'm interested in is Pokémon GO - coincidentally (?) a mobile game that calls itself an MMO.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-48645946425279513332017-04-13T11:33:38.075+02:002017-04-13T11:33:38.075+02:00Screenshots coincidentally fit the title...

Stonehenge reference... could this be the product of ancient aliens?<br /><br /><br />I never really liked the idea some devs have that mobile is the way to go for gaming. PC gaming isn't going to die anytime soon, especially not for MMOs, it's not comfortable to play a game on a smartphone, at least nowhere comparable to playing it on a powerful computer with a huge screen.<br />Armathyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605672751498969775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-21039329001610978752017-04-09T17:00:25.553+02:002017-04-09T17:00:25.553+02:00I hugely appreciate quality fixes and improvements...I hugely appreciate quality fixes and improvements to MMOs, also if that means less frequent new stuff. Especially in older MMOs problems tend to accumulate when new stuff just keeps being added. There are a tons of things to fix in LOTRO, so I'm definitely hoping the devs keep it up. At least they're up to a good start. :)Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-41571420845540580672017-04-09T13:09:39.519+02:002017-04-09T13:09:39.519+02:00Well said!Well said!Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-59559870836950656382017-04-07T18:59:46.170+02:002017-04-07T18:59:46.170+02:00My husband and I played DDO for a long time, as in...My husband and I played DDO for a long time, as in many years. We've also been in and out of LOTRO for quite a few years. I am glad that the devs have such dedication to their games. Both worlds are enjoyable and here's hoping more QoL improvements continue to make it iinto the game!cfcallierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521080251095181782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922857679980740630.post-64681297760128381422017-04-07T06:28:17.714+02:002017-04-07T06:28:17.714+02:00I'll drink to that!!

One of the first...I'll drink to that!!<br /><br />/drink<br /><br />One of the first things SSG did was to fix a graphical error when I loaded the game on the desktop PC. If there wasn't a graphic in exactly the right directory/location (or it was pointing to the wrong location) a loading screen would have this weird mish-mash of colors. That problem went away about 2 weeks into SSG's stewardship of LOTRO.<br /><br />Quality of life improvements indeed.<br /><br />And yes, that gives me hope for the future.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
