iOBT - any infromation?

This is why I’m a bit skeptical concerning MMORPG.com’s information. I don’t know if something got lost in translation or if IMC Games is really trying to rush TOS’s global release. Judging from the Korea version of the game, it’s possible they’re going to try to rush the English, Indonesia, and Japan launches as well.

However, launching in the first quarter means players with school won’t be playing as much, so I guess they’re counting on a smaller playerbase during the school year to fix issues as they come. Compared to if they were to launch in the second quarter of the year, which includes spring break and the last weeks before the summer break. Let’s hope IMC Games knows what they’re doing.

Well its good onlly for one thing, think how much good games will be released in the second quarter of the year.

Meh, I’d imagine there is a large core of older gamers. At least where I’m from… All my friends despite getting old having kids, owning homes, running businesses, etc… All still gamers. And all them are interested or already played the iCBTs and are going to be playing ToS.

Kids?

That’s not the main source of income.
The main source are people actually working, as they will have less time to spent. They will take buffs from the shop and stuff to enhance that little time.

Atleast rich Kids will be whales ingame, for gold sellers and stuff.
But for IMC everyone past 18~21 to 40. Will be their main source of income.

The core of old gamers is a cornerstone for any comunity.

Sadly not so much any more.this core of older gamers is no longer big enough to suport a game.

For some reason I feel like you’re taking a wild guess there. Unless you are reading metrics from IMC you haven’t told us about.

Not at all , i talking about the mmorpg games as all.it not the older players any more and the older players not necessary the bigest grup. I basevit on other mmos i played, from ro to ff 14. This is a thing i realy want to be wrong on.

For games like these that aren’t target-marketed at kids, monetary-wise, adults will make up most of the revenue. Everyone is needed of course regardless of their age since a completely F2P player will still help keep the server populated, but most of the income will be coming from the working-majority. The chance of a kid being a ‘Whale’ (And a few hundred dollars spent in a year does not make someone a Whale in an MMORPG) is slim to none here.

ok if you say so:)…

Sixaxis ^^

is always right!

I don’t think either of them are qualified. Who here has seen metrics of a F2P games age groups that are international–since different regions of the world look at older gamers differently–and anything with similar history and play to ToS.

you have a really good point here. hope IMC will have a good understanding of international region.

Students don’t necessarily refer to kids, as some people have been quick to point out. There’s plenty of gamers who go to college and some who are well into adult age who choose to go back to school to learn more stuff. School isn’t just for kids. MMORPG demographics can cover a huge range of people regardless of age group.

The average gamer is roughly 20-30 years old. If you take all the people who played RO back in the day and coming back to play ToS, they are going to be in that age group.

We can’t say all the players here played RO.
I know of 5 that didn’t nplay ro and if the game be good they will play.

Exactly, im 2.6, almost 2.7, in march

Well I never said everyone played RO. Just the people who did would still be a lot. Regardless, most people are going to be in the 20-30 age group, and just looking at that age thread, it’s pretty accurate.

am i the only one here who doesn’t trust the release date on mmorpg.com or whatever that site was called?

Well, I think it’s pretty obvious that the older players spend more money.

Does kids work? No.
Of course there are some younger whales, with rich parents who spend tons of money, but that’s the minority.
In every game I’ve played, not only MMORPG, I made a lot of friends and the olders have always had more items from the cash shop
