Atom Bomb?

Hear people talking about the "atom bomb" of April that's supposed to go off... and I was thinking they were talking about GW2... but then I saw this:

Was I mistaken? or was this what everyone was talking about... April 11th from what I've seen...


I mean, I love this game to death... but with the price hikes, the customer service problems, friends being banned or hacked. It's just getting harder and harder to find justification to stay :(

I think GW2 is atomic bomb and Diablo 3 is H bomb. Also Aion EU sucks big time (guess who manages it) because you can't do almost anything as f2p: chat, trade, personal shop, mail, trade broker, gathering, item extraction, npc selling and much more are usable if you're a subscriber.

And the biggest problem: instance cooldowns for f2p are much, much higher than for subscribers. I don't see an issue with paying some money each month, but if I pay, why don't pay for WOW or Rift?

With WoW and its attempt at Pandaizing the world it sucks big time. A friend of mine that still plays WoW (why oh god why does he still do that??) allowed me to try a panda. Super disappointement there. As far as Rift goes it has problems of itself. Now there is another game coming out that might be what they were talking about called Tera. I played the closed beta and was surprised with it. But will it kill RoM?? Not real sure about that, seeing as the makers have as of yet not decided on if it will be a subscribed to game or not.
It will take a very polished and bug freee game to ill RoM and to tell the truth I do not see any on the horrizon especialy in the free catagory.

well i have an old aion account that I don't play anymore, and i read that there was a f2p, a veteran and a gold membership... there isn't a HUGE difference between veteran and gold memberships, other than instance cooldowns, so was thinking of giving it a go, and seeing how things have changed.

There are always bombs going off. Just the nature of the business. New games are released, attract people playing old games. Old games release new content to keep the player base. Same thing over and over.

I thought the previous bomb was supposed to be Everquest II going FTP... Old, established game... yada, yada... large player base... yada, yada... debugged, balanced... and so on and so forth.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Sorry, people, but discussing other games on the RoM forums isn't allowed.
