Like I posted back in may when I first brought this game up for potential review it still holds one major worry for me.

3rd person over the shoulder PoV....

These new games need to stop it.

1. Even if every Ancient of KGB were to be awakened, and even if the games potential was a reality, and even if we could raise our own Kingdom. Participation levels always die off, much of KGB is aging and has not been shown to display any longevity. People have constantly changing lives/responsibilities. Many KGB do not seem to have the time to game like they used to.

2. Money; Some have it, some do not. Investing in another game after the disappointments of the past would certainly limit those KGB that could play. I am invested in Crowfall, Eternal Crusade, and Star Citizen. This is not something I could stretch my money to cover.

3. Meta; It seems that this game is built on a pregenerated Nobility system, getting out on your own, serving your own seems ridiculously unrealistic. 20K people seriously? I would rather play this game unbound than be bound to some unknown power structure.


Awakening the old KGB probably wont happen. We have seen examples in history where a core group of veterans and a new following creates a new generation. Look at Darkfall and Archage as great examples.

Being 49, I was already in my 40's when DFO hit and I was playing 4 to 8 hours a day.

What is missing? The passion.


I think we can muster up that Passion again with an exotic style of frogger. :)

Passion is not an attribute granted by a game. I get my passion from my battle brothers and sisters. If all you do is solo grind, it is true there is no passion to be had there. It is in leading and being led, in shared glories and hardship, in helping others and being helped in turn that our passion for the KGB lies.

If any among us are wanting for passion, then they are not spending enough time among us.


To the everlasting glory of the infantry...

Personally, the game has to have world politics for me to really get into it. I have briefly played just about everything we have gotten into since DFO. There has to be a JetStar hook.

Tons of Politics to be had in COE honestly, I'm getting ready to move today but when I get settled in I'll see what I can type up to talk about this end of the game

Vuldan you just can't resist taking cheap shots at me and turning a discussion into an argument. I'll refrain from posting what I had originally intended for you out of respect for jet and romes

Actually, it was a comment about Jet. His response to your post is why I included you for context. See Jet's response about 3 posts or so up.

That's a lot of money that could have easily went to the consumption of some Crown Royal Regal Apple.
