Sorry to say GameAmp only does MMOs. And right now we aren't adding any more to the list. We do always like suggestions, but keep in mind if the game is already out, the chances of it being added is very slim.

Yes we used to have one for UT, but that site was phased out.

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

hehe.. I actually read somewhere that GuildWars isn´t a MMORPG. But a CORPG.

ANd the differences is:
CORPG is Competitive Online Role-Playing Game. In contrary to MMORPG, the CORPG has a more competitioning aspect. Where you e.g.in Guildwars play Guild VS Guild.

success in CORPG is to be due to player talent, instead of playing time you´ve spent on the game.

to those who can english :D

And to the danish ones.

o_O well thats not true.. That would mean every MMORPG with PvP would be an CORPG.. which would make the greatest MMORPG an CORPG..

there two completely different games, stop trying to say that one is better than the other with just an illogical statement, back it up with some evidence that GW is better, then I may at least acknowledge what you said.

Then again, WoW has places where you can't meet other people, so it's not really a mmorpg then?

Nay.

MMORPG = Mass Multiplayer Online RPG. GW is Mass Multiplayer: there are tons of people playing it together. There are a lot of areas you can meet them and team with them. You can play together with any player who owns it, without having to create servers or such. GW is a MMORPG. All explorables are instances? So what? It's still mass multiplayer... It just have an awesome trick that does wonders with resource consumption... (And I do prefer it, btw...)

It's like saying NFS underground is not a car racing game because it has micromanagement...

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

quoting from the GW site itself its a CORPG

"Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Guild Wars was designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience. Success in Guild Wars is always the result of player skill, not time spent playing or the size of one's guild. As characters progress, they acquire a diverse set of skills and items, enabling them to use new strategies in combat. Players can do battle in open arenas or compete in guild-vs-guild warfare or the international tournament. Engaging in combat is always the player's choice, however; there is no player-killing in cooperative areas of the world."

Thats from their FAQ page. I knew I saw them refer to it as that. But it really makes little difference as its still a great game.

Well they created the game they have more right to call it what they want then a gammer does. So I'll go by what they classify it as rather then just an individual.

Oh yeah, and the Dark Elf saga is NO WAY a fantasy book, it's a Forgotten Realms book...

Guys. Wake up. CORPG is MMORPG, like a limo is a car, and like all bugs are insects...

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

actually CORPG and MMORPG are all forms of RPG. lol Just like Jerseys and Angus are both cows but ones a milk cow and the other is a beef cow. Both CORPG and MMORPG are from the same family but have they different qualities though they may not be big differences.

That's the most truthful statement I've seen in this argument yet.

They are both RPG's and are both great game styles, can we leave it at that?

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

But, now we have a more detailed look at WHY he said that.

It's a valid point. Why are we arguing about the game types of WoW vs GW? Wasn't this originally a discussion about GameAmp and MMO's being the only game here?

Also, I noticed that Auto Assault was mentioned earlier. Yes, at one Point, GameAmp DID have AA in their game listing. The reason for it being phased out was it's lack of player base. It's a LOT smaller MMO in terms of subscriber numbers, therefore it didn't have a lot of players needing information or a place for discussion.

ahem.. I was saying it because it's true. And just to mess a bit with your heads, let me quote from Wikipedia:

QUOTE

The categorized term was first coined along-side the creation of Guild Wars, after the developers decided/preferred that their game did not fit the broader definition of MMORPG, due to its almost total use of instanced playing areas and focus on player versus player content.

No other developers have categorized or preferred to categorize their games as a CORPG to date.

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

if was not to start a discussion,, just saw on the Danish wikipedia that Guild Wars is a CORPG. The thing we must remember when using wiki is that all the things is not true.

PS: The story why I looked up MMORPG is:
I have 2 friends, at the start i showed them GW. They were so excited and bought it a couple of weeks after i got it.
Then one of them turned to the "Dark Side :D) WOW)(no negative I just don´t like the MORe animated characters, building and more) From that day, we are trying to prove which game who´s the best. Then i looked up MMORPG, and the they listed GW as CORPG ALSO!!!. And then i read the text with. The succes in GW is not because of the time spent on it, but on your TALENT :D. Then i laughed at my friend and told him, that he could´t say GW is bad, Just because he find it too hard to get lvl 20, and he's only in Yaks Bend.And said this is a prove that your no talent has :D. And said (just for fun) hehe.. GW is more than WOW so its better.

(lol) I have WOW but never tried it. I bought it at the release (when i no Internet had) F**K. And it has been of my GAME SHELF :D. I don´t want to try it, because i don't want to pay the monthly/2 monthly fee.

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

but what I said was true there is a difference but maybe not that dramatic. If you order a GMC and they give you a Ford, yes they are both cars so you should be happy. But as I said MMORPG and CORPG are both RPG styles just as humans and cows and elephants are all mammals but you don't want someone calling you a cow or an elephant. If their creation is a CORPG then so be it. It does have differences as you are limited to only 8 people at the most in a group when playing PVE and 12 when playing PVP. MMOs tend to not have that cap. I guess if you look at the point of several playing together online making it a MMO well look at Diablo you can have up to 4 people playing together, there are parts of GW that you can only have 4 people in a group, If you compair the fact of numbers makes it a MMO then that would include several other games as well. But Diablo is an RPG or in most cases refered to as an Action RPG but most of the qualities found in diablo are found in both WOW and GW. You have an enemy you kill them you get rewards you do quests you gain levels you can play with others, but in Diablo you can't get into groups over 4 and can't team up to do PVP just like in GW you can't sneak up to someone and kill them while they aren't logged on or do raids on towns. There are several differences if you compair games like WOW and EQ and UO to a game like GW.

Like what was said though they are all good games even if different in ways or the same in ways. Why fuss over how some classify things (I mean was there a great gamming god that said let this game be a MMORPG, nope just a normal person or the games creator) and instead focus on the fact of what makes them great games and good enough to have such a following to have their own area here on Gameamp.

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

Let me explain it again.
GW is an MMORPG. But ANet made a marketing move and called it CORPG. But CORPG is NOT A CATEGORY IN ITSELF. You can't call anything a category when there's only ONE THING associated with it.
Webster's definition on the word category:

QUOTE

any of several fundamental and distinct classes to which entities or concepts belong

Note the plural.
Now, if I say that my webpage is actually a Hardcore Alien Manifesting Rural Meeting Warzone Hammer Service, it doesn't mean there will be such a category. People will think me I'm weird, that's all. As it was said here too, the creators "like to call it", not "say it is". If I write an accountant software but I like to call it a racing game, it still will be an accountant software.

QUOTE

MMOs tend to not have that cap.

"tend to" not equals "always". And Diablo is not even an RPG, it's an action game with RPG elements, and multiplayer options. Multiplayer, but not MASS multiplayer.

QUOTE

qualities found in diablo are found in both WOW and GW.

Like, the lack of choices. Like, the lack of communication with any other player while playing. Like, the lack of 80% of the details what makes a computer RPG a ccomputer RPG.
(Sorry for the sarcasm.)

In short:
- GW is an MMORPG. It has some unique elements, but it's still an MMORPG.
- such category as CORPG doesn't really exist.
- you can compare WoW with UO and GW and anything you like. All you can say is your personal preference. At this level, there are no games that better than the other. (Yes, there ARE crap games, and there are people who find them fun. Does anyone remember Arcade Volleyball?)

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

Back on topic:

It seems the GameAmp only caters for RPG's of any kind, since ET is a FPS it doesn't make the cut. There are lots of ET fan sites out there tho and they host map packs and mods as well. Maybe best checking out a few of those.

RE: Does Game AMP only do online MMORPG games?

Well like was said before who writes these categories than individuals. Next how are new ones made? Yes they are made by a group standing out to make a new exception to the rules which is how MMOs evolved from just being called RPGs. GW has several (pointing out the several) things that don't exactly follow the definitions of an MMORPG. And just as its your opinion, and I stress opinion, its mine that its not an MMORPG. The Diablo thing there has been several arguments on what type of game it is but look up on any site that sells games and search in RPGs and yep, you find Diablo. A bigger argument you can look up is the fact that a lot of people don't consider any game on a computer an RPG but instead a CRPG.

Also adding on the Mass part you only have a mass when your in town.

The big thing is no matter if you look on wiki for what the game is or on their website it is all just opinions. None wrong but none right.

I agree we disagree and looking at your points and already knowing mine neither of us are 100% right nor 100% wrong.
