    Here are today's BioWare forum highlights, collected by NWVault. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context. Bear in mind also that the posts presented here are copied as-is, and that any bad spelling and grammar does not get corrected on our end.

    Should Bioware haggle with WoTC?

    ---------------
    Why do the letters MMORPG make me nervous for some reason?
    ---------------

    They shouldn't. I think after the last couple of month most people around here are pretty happy that BioWare is not interested in MMORPGs at this time.

    Mythica - cancelled
    TFO - cancelled
    UltimaXO- cancelled
    Warhammer online-cancelled

    these are high profile games by the big guys, some were close to alpha release. there are more to come and there will be bloodshed among the remaining ones when EQ2 and WoW enter the arena. No, the MMORPG space has far too many companies competing for a very small crowd of gamers (compared to the market for normal games) and due to the subscription fees it's not like "They buy game A this month and game B the next month", it's game A or game B. Also the whole genre is missing innovation, basic gameplay (with some variations) is still pretty much diku mud meets graphics engine (grind + social networking) and as long as that doesn't change the base audience isn't likely to expand significantly.
