Civ MMORPG

Looks to be actually happening....

And all I can say is that it sounds almost as far from Civilization as we know it as possible.

Dat crosspost: same time, same link, same title, same thoughts :P I deleted my topic

Calling something civ does not make it civ.

So its a game about building stuff like minecraft except remove all the interesting bits?

And perhaps where you have to have powergamers who never log out tell you what to do. Could be fun..... Ehhhh.... color me skeptical.

This basically sounds like a generic base building game with a Civ skin.

Typical 2K Games management at work. They have a valuable IP in the Civilization brand, now it's time to whore it out as much as possible. I wish that they would invest that time and money into creating an actual good strategy game, instead of plastering the Civilization and Sid Meier's name onto as much crap as humanly possible.

Okay. This is just the next step in Sims.

First we had Sims medieval, and sims online of course.

Remember how swoozie's gf's ex was the mayor of 'the city'?

Now we have sims civilization online.

Basically everything will be bought with sim bucks or time, some people will have tons of cash, being the generals or politicians with big mansions, and others will be regular players. Reminds me of eve online. In sims online you could have bots which you can program to just work at some lame job 24/7 .... And with enough bots you can like, research technology, build wonders, always have the best weapons, etc, because of all your freaking cash.

Seems like the next step on the way to increased online life, but I sense it might flop like elemental war of magic.

Didn't they already try this?

2K,

Didn't we already have a Sims online? And didn't it fail miserably?
