If I was still playing WOW I'd be using it for sure. Sony's EQ2 Players website has been around for ages and has yet to be copied - its Armory plus player customized information. <BR/><BR/>Why hasn't anyone else done it? I think developers really under estimate how much time avid gamers are will to spend researching, thinking about and planning how to play their games, and that's on top of how much we enjoying talking about our favorite games.<BR/><BR/>The other side of the advantage is the personal connection / offline RP if you will, of having something accessible from my character that I can tinker with when I can't play. Seriously, the most minor aspects would be so appealing like inventory management, spec management, etc. All harmless tasks that people would chomp at the bit to meddle with offline.<BR/><BR/>Great post.Saylah @ Mystic Worldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741136619708963811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994726481220201755.post-76680664668016211052008-11-26T17:39:00.000+11:002008-11-26T17:39:00.000+11:00wowarmory does this, in effect, but yeah... there ...wowarmory does this, in effect, but yeah... there used to be a community driven site where you'd DL a little app, and upload your current gear and stats into the sites database, and it was a way to link your gear. it was part of the CT family f mods if i remember right, CTprofiles or something it was called. <BR/><BR/>when you think of how many people troll the wow forums everyday, it would be a nice little lump of change to have a banner up there. then again, for a company like blizzard, that would be a drop in the bucket AND they would have to have someone in charge of deciding who gets in the ad rotation etc. nice if you already "have that guy on staff", but a p.i.t.a. if not.<BR/><BR/>generally, a corporate site only has 'banners' for their own crap. Adobe.com is advertising the latest version of photoshop, ford.com is showing off their new cars, etc. to see a banner there would be... weird.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024497755617725448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994726481220201755.post-47016180546648839932008-11-23T11:22:00.000+11:002008-11-23T11:22:00.000+11:0038 studios recently bought Azeroth Advisor, which ...38 studios recently bought Azeroth Advisor, which is a free newsletter delivered to you with information depending on what class/level you're at... tells you skills to pick, how to do whatever dungeons you're eligible for, etc.<BR/><BR/>It currently services only WoW, but they're going to be using it for their upcoming 'Copernicus' MMO as well.<BR/><BR/>I think the main thing holding people back from milking such a service is that the developers don't know how to play their games properly.<BR/><BR/>If you want guides like that done right, you really have to find who the mosty leet players of your game are, and pay them to put the information together.Melf_Himselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989146159619414666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994726481220201755.post-87211848184098372092008-11-22T04:20:00.000+11:002008-11-22T04:20:00.000+11:00You're not missing anything.. but they are.You're not missing anything.. but they are.Thallianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906461308866998300noreply@blogger.com
