IGN MMO Survey

Took this off one of my RPG sites:

There are a LOT of questions that I would attribute directly to GW. Let the voices of the masses be heard!

Why is there no option for "Too much grind"?

Should I put my Athlon's actual speed, or it's P4 equivalent speed?

Seems like they're missing the only one that I will definitely buy.

took it they need a couple other choices for some of those questions though

takes about 10 minutes....some of the questions seem to be modified to include Guild Wars

GW isn't an MMO.

one quick question before i answer anything... what is concitered a "persistent world video game"?

It means the world is, well, persistent. In other words, when you log off, other players continue playing in the same server/world. This is opposed to a single-player game where it is essentially paused when you leave, or a game like UT2004 or BF2 that takes place on small-scale independent servers.

finaly done, took me like half an hour because i really had to think about some... very nice survey though...

Nice survey indeed.

But... MMO on a handheld? Is that available/possible?

Oh I'm sure it's possible, but it likely wouldn't be the realtime 3D MMO's that we're accustomed to.

Wow, nice survey. Especially like the list of games that are coming up soon.

Welcome to advertising and future market research.

"Are you planning to purchase a next generation console? (Select all that apply.)

Xbox 360
PlayStation 3
No"

I guess NO means Nintendo Revolution?

Well maybe if you take the "N" as Nintendo and the "O" to be a full circle (revolution) then you might...uh

hm, grasping at straws here.

Done the survey, almost embarrased to admit the amount of time I spend playing Guild Wars

Diablo2 is as much as a MMO as Guildwars is

I was surprised the survey didnt list Diablo2

They were pretty much listing currently played MMOs. D2 is too old for inclusion, I guess...though they did put in UO which is...ancient!

I think this pole is irrelivant, because GW was intended to break away from the MMORPG outline of games and aim towards a more competitive, grind-free environment where players fight against one another on equal ground, with very little preperation time. Asking normal MMO players what they want out of guild wars is like asking FPS players what they want out of World of Warcraft. It's stupid.

It isn't a poll specific to GW at all. It's very generic, in fact, and asks a lot of questions about console gaming, true MMORPGs and even tosses in a few about action RPGs with persistency.

UO is ancient but still very active with expansions

UOs 6th expansion, Samurai Empires, shipped November 2004
