May 12th 2007 7:23AM (Joystiq)Uhm, while I agree that Home is kinda neat (not something I'd be interested in nowadays) it's nowhere near as ambitious as let's see... Spore, the Wii, the DS, Live Anywhere, XNA or even... Crysis.
Virtual Worlds have been done and done again, in fact I played a virtual world 10 years ago similar to this (possibly even better), was called ThePalace. I used to hop on a server called the Balamb Garden and play on a little game called the Colosseum where a bunch of Square characters were put into a big turn based vs game with 1v1 to 5v5 (each character was controlled by a single person). There was also Tripple Triad there (from FF), and plenty other user made games. It was really made just as a chat room with avatars that could be made from any picture, but it ended up so much more than that. Not that anything in there was worth anything besides the Colosseum.
If users can make their own games in a code that isn't generally used on the net (something besides flash and java) I can see this going somewhere where Microsoft is trying to go with XNA. But other than that, a glorified chat room (minus keyboard) with built in minigames and advertisements is all this is right now.

Apr 6th 2007 8:47PM (Joystiq)I was highly disappointed that this game didn't take any unique mechanic from Turbine's previous games instead replacing any dignity they might have had with blatant copying. You really do have something here Turbine, you did a damn good job copying WoW and taking out every mechanic that made it fun. You did however manage to keep all the crap that's really annoying about WoW.
Monster Play and the Music system are both good ideas. Everything else you yanked out of Blizzard's sewage pipes. I can't imagine how crappy that shit is since WoW took a lot of their shit from EQ. There were tons of EQ clones, let's see if EQ can get a round of clones this decade too in the guise of WoW.
