cute sells!

Jusr goes to show you. If you want to make money in gaming. Make it cute so the girls will want to play and so mothers will let their children play.

Agreed. Asia has Shot Online! too -- a MMO golf RPG. Yes, you read that right, a MMO golf RPG. They'll play anything over there, apparently. (For the record, I played the game and it's a good game, but... I can't fathom playing it all the time).

Nexon makes Shattered Galaxy though too ( definitely non-cute game), which was a pretty good game until it got to the point nobody playing spoke English anymore.

Starcraft

I quit playing that game a long time ago.

I think the final thread for me was the backstabbing by asian players who'd insist I sent them a private message laced with epithets. The only joy I had after that was watching the rubes who believed him get backstabbed in turn.

Re: cute sells!

The idea of selling avatars, and accessories sounds very familiar to another Online game Gunbound. It's a WORMS-esque style game full of avatars and things for players to waste money on. I think it either started in Korea or Taiwan. It is available in English as well. »gunbound.softnyx.net/

Yeah, lots of MMO games are doing things like that now. Hell, GunZ Online Korea Edition makes money by selling premium items for your characters. The game itself is free and so is playing it. The newly launched GunZ International Edition is expected to do the same thing, whenever they finish the beta.

Re: Starcraft

Haha, it happens all the time.

Not to mention the fact that the game was so easily exploitable... Programs called 'ladder bots' could get you ranked at 9999 in the ladder in under a day, as long as you had two valid CD keys (not hard to get with 'social engineering').

True, most of the cheaters I ran into either spoke no English or pretended to speak no English.

What makes you think I'm a racist?

They have weird culture and habits. Japanese sex culture is just freaking sick! They eat all kinds of 'food' and obviously they have a bunch of weird games that are so extremely popular in Asia but not anywhere else. I wonder why??

They are WEIRD.

I agree with the Bush remark but let's leave politics out of it

Who says it has to be just asian girls playing games. I like any women who plays games. I think it's kind of fun to see a women owning guys as they scream in thier chat windows or even their headsets.
