Wonder no more who actually has the biggest piece of the Pie as MMOG Chart (http://www.mmogchart.com/Chart7.html) provides us insight.

Honestly, I thought it would be more WoW and less Linage oO

What the hell is Dofus?

edit: Googled it - Dofus (http://www.dofus.co.uk/mmorpg-free.html)

I like how they have a banner proudly announcing "Already 6 million players". If that's true then SirBruce's chart is wrong. Or... it could be that Dofus is full of crap, or most likely, both are massively innacurate.

This isn't going to end well.

I'm going to try to make "shedaum" a colloquialism. But I'm not sure what definition to give it. Anyone?

Could you put it in a sentence please.

Maybe the Chart only counts Players, that actually pay for the pleasure of being able to play a particular MMO.

And I'm really curious what schild will come up with.

"Shadaim" actually is the hebraic word for "breasts". See this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=m8SctyF_XdE) for further explanation

So that isn't Shazam written in Kurrent? Damnit!  :-)

Wakka wakka wakka. (http://www.kids-korner.com/graphics/pacman.gif)

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh It's shadaim.

The cursive made it look like shadaum or shedaum. Whatever. I haven't read cursive since like 1990.

Not as interesting anymore.

Dofus has both free to play content (very limited) and subscription-only content. The chart is only counting players with subscriptions.

Ah, gotcha.

I'm still surprised that I'd never heard of this game, if it is the 6th largest MMO out there. I've heard of all the others listed, even Tibia..

Dofus could have been such epic awesome.

But it turned out so fucking boring.

I've almost bought the art books like 50 times though.

Isn't shedaim the Hebrew word for breasts? I am basing this claim strictly on having seen it on an episode of Coupling, so take that for what it's worth  :grin:

I'd really like to see your Screen Resolution. I really tried hard to, but couldn't figure out how to get that "i" and "m" to an "um". Especially given the fact you got the "a" right and there just aren't enough vertical lines left to form that. Ooooooh, found it....

Nevertheless, what really surprised me in that Chart, was the numbers Lineage is able to put on.
Even more so Linage is doing better than Lineage 2 oO

That sequel must have been able to not only NOT provide enough new features to draw some prequel fans, no it even seems to have failed to even hold on to what the players liked in the prequel.

That's like making the Double-Whopper with 1 1/2 Patties and without the salad.

Edit: Vertical Creativeness

1920x1200.

Hard Cursive is Hard.

Its the "I" and the "M" having the same leading serif on the post, creating an optical illusion. Its not just schild.

Eve has more subs than EQ2.  Impressive.

A guildmate of mine made this a couple days ago:

So, if you want a really succesfull MMO, you are left with two options:

a) Make a game, that is so farm and grind intensive, that i literally takes 10+ people to feed one actually played character (get those Chinese guys in the game)
b) Make a game, that is so easy to play and rewarding while consuming a lot of time to accomplish something really meaningful.

Either one would have been made WoW a really great success.

I read it as "Shadam!" first time, sounded like something an amatuer magician (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhzBVBZKte4&feature=related) would use to make shit disappear.

I'm aware that I'm one of the casual scrub section, but I'm curious what constitutes an "actual wow player".

Elitist raiders methinks, that's not all raiders, just the sort of raider who only sees other players as a collection of loot items and who thinks 'casual' is a profanity.

I've seen banner ads for Dufos before. Looked like the typical Korean fare. I'm surprised nobody's bashing Bruce yet. BUNGGEE IS TEH BRUCE IN DISGIUSE

Dofus is French. French anime is huge on the continent ad has a very distinct artistic style to Eastern anime.

Mmmm.  Pie.

Ok, so who is Bruce?
The only Bruce I know is a Catwalk trainer who was part of a the casting show "Germany's next Top Model".

(http://www.faz.net/m/%7BD901048F-D780-47AD-B176-9DD6E3625FEA%7DPicture.jpg)

And no, I don't look like that

Bungee isn't Bruce guys.

Bruce is Sir Bruce (http://www.mmogchart.com/).

MMO commentator and stat collector of old. Famous for his 'robust' views on games and game design.

Shadaim?

I still don't know what that means.

That's like saying Paris Hilton is famous for House of Wax.  The underlying notoriety is the result of...other things. 

Fixed.


But don't worry, you aren't the first to come here and start a thread about that site, you won't be the last, and if it degenerates into harmless pictures of pie on page one, it's a ending better than most get.

Where do you find these? All I ever found were ones on Amazon.fr and I don't wanna go through the trouble.

Which reminds me, Amano's book from Radical Comics is up for pre-order now (http://www.amazon.com/Yoshitaka-Amanos-Mateki-Magic-Flute/dp/098023350X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1205362459&sr=8-1) (comes out mid-June).

Iain, that description really sucks.  It didn't even contain the words furry or twat in it! 

I don't know what I should be more sad about now.
Being compared to a guy that has to have said words in a description of him, or relying on a source provided by said person :sad_panda:

He's the only poster I know of


who was so annoying


he has a method of posting


named after him


called


SirBrucing

You forgot the dogfucking.

The pie is tainted.

I must say the term "furry twat" combined with that forum avatar created some mental scars that won't heal easily. If ever.

Also, the appearance of those terms has just seen the number of people coming to this thread through Google jump 3000%.

oops.  sorry.   (http://www.woolywonder.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)  i was just trying to adhere to f13 standards.

Hey, now Schild knows how to bring up traffic when needed...

Crap, I was going to drop in a pic of Bruce, but amazingly I can't find him on GIS. Oh well.

Damn, Nebu beat me to the top of the list by 1 second!  That bastard!  :mob:

Back on topic!  Which is pi.

Today is Pi day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_Day).  Pi minute is in about 54 minutes pacific time.

mmmm... pie....

(http://www.springville.ca.us/applefest/Images/PieContest.jpg)

The discussion page on that wikipedia entry is an absolute classic.

Reading wikipedia people get excitable about whether stuff like 'pi day' is notable is always good for a laugh.

I think I was idle too... I was teaching at the time.  AFK FTW!

Epic Fail. Today is http://www.steakandbjday.com/, n00bler.

Do you really want to go around celebrating a holiday invented by this guy (http://www.myspace.com/birdsey)?
