They never unsubbed, but they weren't playing but to just update Queues etc. They were playing SWTOR and WOT and Skyrim instead. Now SWTOR I think has run its course for them, WOT has a 'play ceiling, and Skyrim is not a MMO and therefore even as great a game as it is its much like Red Dead Redemption in the fact that once its conquered it loses its appeal to most players.<br /><br />Now these guys are all back and active again in EVE which is great. I think SWTOR and WOW have a similar problem however and to explain it I need to go back to my uber geeky D&D days in Highschool. We started playing cooperative party campaigns like pretty much everyone does but then we had a DM who tossed out the books and asked us what we wanted to do instead and then supported and challenged our gameplay in an open world environment even goigng so far as to encourage killing each other. <br /><br />Needless to say after doing that, party basing and campaign running was no longer fun. EVE is about as unconstrained as you make it. Nothing else out there is as limitless. People tire of the gameplay, but they never tired of the game itself which is why you have folks who have been playing since beta now, 10yrs later. <br /><br />I've never played WOT, or SWTOR but how many Betas are still playing WOW? More germaine to this topic though, How many Betas will still be playign SWTOR in a year, two, three? That remains to be seen. My guess is, not very many.IgnatiusHoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-24703376685763333852012-04-13T09:54:46.201-05:002012-04-13T09:54:46.201-05:00I'm starting to trust these gaming "news&...I'm starting to trust these gaming "news" sites less and less.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-91951014258062652032012-04-13T07:14:34.816-05:002012-04-13T07:14:34.816-05:00Best thing about that massively article?
