noveltyhero Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Yeah I know, depressing topic to talk about but my curiosity exceeds my emotions What will happen? The reason I ask is because I know every game comes and goes, every F2P dies eventually and all you can do is remember them graciously and at heart. The game that hit me the most was City of Heroes, at the end before the servers shut down the developers went all out and gave us a major last battle which included every single player on one map. Incredibly chaotic but everyone enjoyed it and it really hit the community, because when a game like this (Co-op online multiplayer) it really just smacks you in the face. You won't be able to log in to quickly kill 1mil enemies in 1bil awesome way, no more grinding out until your eyes bleed or doing crazy awesome stuff.... Hard to imagine, but your progress will disappear, with nothing to have it over and that happens with a lot of games. Now Warframe is far from it but something to think about :) To clarify: I am not saying this will happen soon or anything like that all. I am saying it will happen. It can be next year or it can be 15 years from now Edited September 18, 2014 by noveltyhero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrizzlyBear Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It's like when I go to bed every night and have those creepy thoughts about death. I outta smack your face for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalenath Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Well, SOE and Cryptic are not involved. NCSoft and Ubisoft are not involved. Will Warframe die? Maybe. Eventually. Will it go quietly into the night like SWG or COH? Like Tabula Rasa and most of Ubi's online games for the last 10 years? Not very likely. I will worry about it when DE gets bought out by NCSoft (who are the ONLY game developers/publishers I would consign to the ninth level of HELL without a moment's remorse) and not a moment before.

S.T.M.P.D Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Dude, we're still in beta. At best DE's gonna give it a year or two before they give it full public power. From there, we'll no doubt continue to get plenty of content - this has been a labor of love for our devs, and I doubt they'll turn their back on us that easy. So no worries yeah? An expansion pack here, some new star systems there, nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha XD Not all games die, TF2 is still going on Yes they do...TF2 will die eventually unless Valve does more stuff to it to keep up. But all die, the timespan for that however is dependent on the game. eg. Skyrim is incredibly strong within the modding community, so is Oblivion. Also DE could decide "its time." :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirmyBurrito Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My hope is that I will have gotten bored before that happens. I hate the thought of a game I want to play suddenly becoming inaccessible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pain is so heartbreaking, makes you regret all those hours you spent in real life doing important stuff XD Just kidding, but yeah it is not easy to let go especially if it becomes a habit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being part of it as it grows through alpha, through beta, into launch.. seeings it's many problems. seeing it work through most though not all. See game devs in game every single day to talk to players, see the problems and fix them in minutes literally sometimes. See the game evolve and change with new and better ideas. Some from the community. See NCSoft come along and hand everyone pink slips with a WEEK'S notice. Then pull the plug to make way for their latest FTW MMO. How many people actually still play Aion who are not bots anyway? Yeah, I am sure Tabula Rasa sucked so bad that they had to pull the plug. Sure. They wanted to shove it to Garriot and they did. And they gave it to everyone else too. And they LAUGHED about it as they offered a week's playtime on Aion for a year spent working on Tabula Rasa, beta testing and play testing so that they could shaft everyone, players and devs alike. Not the best MMO by a long shot, but LIGHT YEARS beyond what Aion was and is. NCSoft = SCUM. Edited September 18, 2014 by Kalenath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best MMO by a long shot, but LIGHT YEARS beyond what Aion was and is. Aion is so bad.... NCSoft wasn't too bad with CoH (not sure who original developers were so don't hit me)... But I more than understand, ever heard of 9Dragons? Asian MMO, freaking awesome, grindy like Warframe but I loved it..new dev came through and now the game is 99% bots with the occasional dev player Heard of ZU Online? Asian MMO, my first actually. It was pretty bada$$ however, new developer came in and turned into a P2W or Grind 50 hours for 1 hour of fun kind of game... Let's not turn this around though, what about Warframe? What about DE? What about the community, players, friendships, clans, alliances, fanart etc :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalenath Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You forgot PWE. Actually I am pretty sure PWE is owned by NCSoft or the other way around. The same demons in human form preying on the unsuspecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirmyBurrito Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) This is why I usually try not to get into MMOs or other online-only games. Warframe is one of the few online-only games that I play, and it is probably the only one that I will be sad to see go.

notlamprey Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I remember being over at a friend's house the night the SW:G servers finally went down. He played, I didn't, but we both shed manly tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude1000 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If or when it does, warframe would be a valuable lesson to how the Devs develop any and all future games and content <3 Personally? I'd be glad for the good times :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
