EVE owns 1% of the MMORPG market while WOW owns over 50%.
Why is it that there are over 250 items for sale for EVE and just over 150 for WOW.
Is EVE run off EBay these days?!?

Because the WoW gold sellers have more and better websites to distribute farmed gold and items.

I also read on the WoW site that the thing they call "World Pvp" was actually just a name for another battleground. Clever name to bring players back to WoW, but I cant help but thinking that it will hurt their reputation in the end.

What reputation? For 10 ppl that sign on, 5 start thinking that wow sucks, and maybe 1-2 cancel subscription. 8:0 for blizzard.

thats bull ...
also in wow , if you want realy good equip , you need to farm it all the good items are BOP
i cant see a reason why you would buy gold in wow , 5 minutes manufacturing each day will give you all the gold youll ever need

Well, its a kids game. You cant lose it and you cant loot players. Basicly its just about grinding gear. And when enough people have good gear, Blizzard opens some new dungeon with some new gear the kids feel they must have. :)
Edit: Of course not only kids play it though. Its fun for a short while. But its easy to see it doesnt have any lasting value.

There are a few of them on the way. Personally I think Age of Conan is looking good. One cant live on Eve alone. =)

Yeah I will definently check that one out too, but it looks like a late 2007 release. :(
This is what i like the most about Conan btw:
Massive epic battles û This is the ultimate large-scale PvP form where guilds and coalitions of players can build their own cities in the border kingdoms, and fight it out in massive battles. Just think of it! Engines of war, mounted warriors charging on horses and camels, formations of players struggling for every inch of land, tearing down walls or breaking through the formations of the enemy!
Im not sure if there will be real losses and looting though. I hope so. And it better not be instanced.. then i wont bother with it.

If you engage, you are off on your own little world, and can't be interfered with until the fight is over.

Well, then count me out. Im too old for meaningless games. Of course it doesnt have to be meaningless, it depends on how they implement it. Im sure looting must be allowed - its a pirate game ffs. :)

Combat takes place in a area which the servers create specially for the combat duration. Nobody else but the players involved see what is going on. Its cut off from the game world.

there still resetting the game world every few weeks aswell?  one of the most stupid ideas in an mmorpg EVER! they couldnt possibly let people take over a port and keep it until someone else can take it back
can you imagine how lame eve would be if they moved all the alliances back to empire every month and reset sov 
btw they were doing it so if you lost a battle that your ship would still be yours but you wouldnt be able to select it for a certain ammount of time. dont know if thats changed or not but i doubt it
------------------------------------------ My opinions are my own and not that of the alliance I belong to. |
