Guild Wars 2

I have just read that what many believe would be the main competition to this game has been gutted pushing back release to an unknown time. They have also severed ties with the company behind the planed AI.
This will directly impact GW2 I believe.
1. No competition is bad for creativity.
2. Letting others experiment with ideas is a great way to see what does and does not work.

On an aside grats to massively OP on their kickstarter.

not a live link since typed in by hand.

What are you talking about? A link would be nice

Maybe he is referring to Titan, the game Blizzard was working on and has now scrapped.

Read it..brave decision. Always hard to make.

I doubt it’s about Titan, more like EQN

On the other hand, ArneaNet is doing a joint panel with their AI specialists at this year’s Game Developers Conference.

Well, when an OP doesn’t bother to tell us on his first post what in the world he is talking about, it rather makes it a guessing game.

However he posted later and said it was EQ so that’s it,

Phone or no phone, a subject is always useful when starting a thread.

ok, anything else you would like added?

More disturbing than the layoffs is the idea that SoE was bought by a investment firm, rather than a game development company.

EQ Landmark and EQ Next will be irrevocably changed by this. I can’t really imagine it’ll be for the better. EQN was one of the games I was keeping an eye on. This is very disappointing news.

I’m really stunned that Sony sold Sony Online Entertainment.
