I don't need a new PC as a PC, and I don't want a new PC as a gaming platform. I wanted an XBox 360 as a gaming platform, and now it seems Champions Online won't be available for that until some indeterminate point in the future... Not the end of the world, but disappointing...

cutsleeve Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Re: June 2nd Its more of a window then a set date. Champions Online New Release Date Posted by IronAngel We wanted our fans to hear this from us first... We’re changing our Champions Online launch date from July 14th to September 1st of this year. Personally I'd rather they release late with a decently working game then release with a toxic title. So far no MMO has had a problem free release so im not hoping for that but I would like a playable release. So I'm willing to wait for them to do a little fine tuning.

More than likely on the first and agreed on the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Re: June 2nd They should have followed the Blizzard Release Policy "When it's done we'll tell you when you can buy it. Until it's done, there is no date." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psistrike Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Re: June 2nd Newest update I saw during X-Play on G4 says it won't be out til September 31st now. At least it gives me time to save up to upgrade my computer to be able to handle running the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Re: June 2nd September 31st? Is that between September 30th and October 1st? I always seem to miss that day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that is intentional. (Kind of like a sly way of saying "It will be done when it is done.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufea Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Re: June 2nd I'd just be happy to play an MMO that doesn't have endless grinding or harvesting for a change - I'm willing to wait however long it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkham Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Re: June 2nd Well' date=' even a hint at any amount of actual roleplaying on any MMO would be a refreshing change.[/quote'] You can roleplay in any MMO. It is entirely in the hands of the players. Which, of course, means you will never get an MMO where everyone, or even a majority, roleplays.

Which, of course, means you will never get an MMO where everyone, or even a majority, roleplays. Not exactly accurate, which is important. You can characterize in a MMO, and this is entirely in the hands of the players. Which, as you point out, means that very few people characterize. However, it's very difficult to tell a story or come up with any sort of plot other than the one that comes with the package in an MMO. Since telling a story is a very important part of roleplaying, it could very easily be argued that it's impossible to roleplay in just about any existing MMO. If you can't tell a story, that removes a significant amount of the fun of characterizing your avatar well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not when you are competing with other "diverse" types of fighter to kill the same flat, uninteresting creatures for the sole purpose of "raising levels" as though levels has anything at all to do with roleplaying. Second Life has more roleplaying in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
