That sounds very very good. I think GB starts this week if my mate was correct, so here’s hoping it goes well.

I’m eager to get into the OB and start testing out classes before launch.

@Aikau

LotRO is as well produced and polished as any MMO out there, albeit it took a year of content additions to get to the state it should have ideally been in at launch.

They are launching in Korea, China and Russia in the next 6 months, so it’s going to be difficult to argue that it isn’t one of the most successful MMOs out there.

Also, I’ll be very interested to see where AoC is in a year’s time. I know more people that have stopped playing it after month 1 than are still playing it, and I wonder how the numbers will look after WAR and WotLK land.

wow, ncsoft has 4 i think, as well. i think ncsoft and turbine go for quantity instead of quality. Don’t defend Lineage 2!

I wouldn’t consider any of those MMOs AAA except funcom and SOE. I think it’s being generous to call aoc AAA

This is good news indeed.

@Aikau, not really, Funcom has released 2 MMO’s, Turbine has released 4 MMO’s and NCsoft also released quite a few MMO’s.

@Ruur I believe open beta is just when they let in the CE people, I also thought it was tied to the lifting of the NDA but I guess they’re separate events

@Aikau Turbine have had two as well, right? Can’t be many companies to have done it though!
