Archeage was popular because the world and pve was very good. It had already started to massively lose people before any of the p2 w came.BDO is doing very well, and has only been getting more popular the last 2 years as p2w has become less of a thing. Archeage when it came out was very popular, until the devs ruined the game and added more and more p2w. EVE has always been popular. An mmo doesn't need WoW or FF14 numbers to be successful, and there's plenty of players for AoC to grab if they deliver a good game. Steven has repeatedly said the game isn't for everyone, they're not designing it for everyone, and they're ok with that.
I hope steven is smart and knows he can’t just let the wolves eat all the sheep but it’s doubtful he is because no pvp guild master I ever met actually understood any of that.
P2W is fine, except in pvp games. Convenience vs extortion.Lost Ark was originally more western style in terms of gameplay, then the KR audience cried for the p2w mechanics they’re used to…so they were added

Yup. BDO technically has open world PvP but they've added every possible disincentive to it for years now.BDO hasn't been a pvp game since 2016 when they ruined pvp with all the carebear karma changes.
Because griefer games don't sell.Yup. BDO technically has open world PvP but they've added every possible disincentive to it for years now.
Bruh, do you even Elvia realm when horse training?!Because griefer games don't sell.
I do a lot of afk horse training in BDO. Training in town is safe but too slow, so I train in combat areas. About once a year someone will kill me out in in the open while I'm afk. I shrug when I get back, respawn and move on with nothing lost. Chuckling at the karma that person will have to deal with. Don't see how that was enjoyable for the person, killing an afk toon, in horse cloths and zero DP, while the griefer racks up massive Karma debt. But griefers are generally retarded.
The open world PvP in this game was only fun when people were leveling up at launch. Now with all the gear disparities it's a pathetic joke. Node wars could be fun, but I don't have the time or will to gear up for that.
Lol, of course not. But everywhere outside of towns is a combat area. With much less people and npcs to slow down a horse.Bruh, do you even Elvia realm when horse training?!
No, I'm saying you can afk horse train in "combat areas" in Elvia realm. 99.99% of players are in Elvia realm just to farm the grind spots, not catch some random afker. I do all my horse training in Elvia realm way down south, in Dreighan region. Elvia realm also has the side benefit of removing NPCs, so you can even do it in Duvencrune if you want.Lol, of course not. But everywhere outside of towns is a combat area. With much less people and npcs to slow down a horse.
And horse training is easy to setup and go afk. Work keeps me very, very busy. Has for years. One of the main reasons I play BDO is my computer can do most of the work while i'm away.
Not complaining, It does't bother me, part of the game. And I lose nothing. I didn't care when the game was griiefer heaven. PA gives out tears like candy."I leave my character online and retards kill me"
Lol

But with all of the penalties that griefers get in this game these days, I just think it's funny that they lose so much for the activity and I don't. Yeah, they are retarded.
