On another forum I post on, a guy brought up new games comming out... of course.. I just HAPPENED to mention PS. And a certain unnamed, cause it just would not be fair to name him here and not tell him about it.. individual started getting smart alec with me... These are his posts.. please insert the appropriate answers that you know I gave to him in between his posts.
Yes, fuck sony the publisher of planet side, oh wise one .
And planet side is as much of a MMORPG as everquest, DAoC, and SW:G. They just call it a MMOG. The game play may be difrent but the mechanics are the same.
Shadowbane is where it's at (
www.shadowbane.com). PvP to the extreme

So i guess Missions are a nother name for quests, and just because there are no npc's dosn't meen it's not an RPG. Like i said the game play is diffrent but the mechanics are pretty much the same. Battle ranks = levels, Certs = skills. You can call a skunk a dog but it's still a skunk. Don't get me wrong planet side looks cool and all, and i'll probably play it. But i'll never let the wool fall over my eyes.
Ooo, Ooo. Don't forget about anarchy online and endless ages. But they have levels instead of battle ranks making them rpgs instead of fps .

::Edit::
On another note about planet sides economy, if i'm not mistaken there is still an economy in planetside, it's just not player driven. How else would you get your weapons, armor, & implants? Also the player base creates the story line in planet side, so there's still a story line your following it's just not layed out for you. And i'm sure there will be GM's that come in and add flavor to the story here and there in the form of top secret missions and such.
The only difrence between planet side and what you think of as an RPG are npcs. Calling one ignorant when ones self is ignorant is a bit naive don't you think?
