Poll: How long do you think PS will be lively?

[MrVulcan]

well at their current rate of getting things done, I can buy that they have 2 years worth of stuff their thinking about.

Platoons:1 month
+
"balancing and bug fixing": 1 month
+
1/2 Base defences: 1 months
+
"balancing and bug fixing": 1 month
+
2nd 1/2 Base defences: 1 months
+
lodestar: 1 month
+
tower silos: 1 month
+
"balancing and bug fixing": 1 month
-----------------------------------------
8 months

and thats just with what they have announced assuming they work at their current rate of 2 vechs and 1 base change every 4 months.

They shouldn't even tell us about their "ideas" until they are sure it's going to come out soon, like a month. A good example of this is Platoons.

it it just pisses alot of people off, that want it now, and dont realize things take time


im hoping a while. i mean, E&B is still alive and not many people like it

[insaneferret]

1-2 more months, , most people bought the game in the first month, bought a 3 month card or signed up for 3 with a CC, after the initial subscriptions go, most people wont be renewing

that and the uber l33t games like HL2 DX2 etc will also be hitting around then, furthur drawing people away

that and the dev team is trying thier hardest to drive us off without any other draws

2 months, huge drop in players, will probably have to combine servers

expansion hits, already low population spread out thinner, customary shitload of bugs

christmas, probably a goodly rise in population, or not, as the game is going to cost $100 because of the expansion, dumb move, should have released it in february

[Harps]

I'm gonna be very angered if this game goes down soon. Its like my favorite game out right now. Stupid sony needs to live up to their promises and lower the subscription fee.....I'm going to bring a shotgun to their face if they kill my game....

The answer is pretty simple, other than my fondness for pie, which influenced my vote:

It will last until another Massively Multiplayer Online Combat Game knocks it off the hill.

Until that time, it is in no danger of extinction.

[HeadshotSY]

With the way SOE is screwing PS right now with the fruity LLU system and bogus VS nerfs PS won't be around much longer. I have never been in a major battle involving the stupid LLU. What a waste of time. SOE could have been doing something constructive like giving the VS competitive Maxes or trying to fix some of the lag problems.

[nonentity]

Ding!

Veteran gets a point

[Aegis]

I'm not 100% convinced MMO subscription is right for FPS games still... i mean i could play MOHAA for nothing. Disposable income to me, but is it worth it to toher people?

Yeah, things take time. But now that they're revealing that they've been using their time to develop an expansion pack (cash grab) rather than implementing things that they've been telling us are coming and squashing existing bugs that doesn't mean all should be forgiven. The expansion pack they're describing is obviously very time consuming and has obviously taken a lot of time for them to develop.
We paid for the game, and now pay a monthly fee. The belief is that the fee is for new content and bug fixes (as well as server fees, etc.). Now we're finding out way too early that a lot of the promised new content and bug fixes have been pushed aside to rush an expansion out. Of course there are unhappy people. Every time I CTD I try to figure out what I'm paying $13 a month for. Somehow, every month I still renew because there seem to be enough positives to outweigh the negatives when push comes to shove. The more I think about this expansion and the unresolved current issues the more it pushes me the other way though.

I think it will last for some time as long as the dev's activly add new features and stay in touch with the community. Which they have been for the most part
