E3 06: Huxley leading Webzen's E3 lineup

True I think it most definately have a monthly free. Can someone tell how "guild wars" is doing it without a monthly charge? Guild Wars can do this for free because the world is entirely instanced except the "hubs", so the server does not have to be nearly as robust or nearly as high capacity as a server for WOW or EQ, for example. Those games support 2000 - 3000 players in the same persistent server whereas Guild Wars splits off players in groups of up to 8 in their own separate mini-worlds whenever they go questing. Each hub only supports a small number of people (basically a matchmaking room) so this is much cheaper. It works more like Diablo, although the producers promoted Guild Wars as an MMO, which is really misleading. Guild Wars makes its money by releasing new content on a regular basis sold as expansion packs. Most other monthly-fee MMO's release lots of content for free or for very cheap in comparison on a frequent basis. City of Heroes / Villains release new content very often without extra charges, for example. EQ2 releases lots of optional mini-packs for $5 or so for some extra adventures and content.

COol

Ah more sheep to the slaughter...follow the crowd lads..good job.

SUN looks like a next gen MMO game. high hopes..

Huxley and SUN both sound like fun, just hope (but doubt) that they'll b free to play.

nice :D

Man, the trailers for Huxley and S.U.N. lookin friggin awesome. I have high expectations for these 2.

I really think Huxley is gonna rock my world. This and Gears of War this fall? YIKES. Hopefully the Live lag issues get straightened out. Ever played COD2 on 360 Live? Brutal.

Yawn. Too many MMORPGs these days, make the madness stop. No one cares about another blah Korean MMORPG or any MMORPG for that matter. Judgement - LAME.

awesome

Anyone who thinks they'll be shooting at 4,999 other people are in for a disappointment. You'll actually be in a "city" with all those people and then take on "jobs" that will put you in another area with let's say 23 other people to shoot at.

Awesome, I wonder if it is possible for them to release a demo of this too on the marketplace?

wasent Project Wiki that ripped Zelda The Wind Waker Graphics ? and nintendo sued them beacause they maked a character that looked like link

Why no Endless Saga.

ok......we'll see.

I've been watching Huxley for a long time, and it's finally coming together and we are nearing release. Sweet. For those who complain of monthly fees: They need to first pay the developers for their work on original game, then they need to pay for the massive servers and bandwidth required to keep you playing, and they need to continue paying the developers so new content can be released. For those who complain about "lagg": The 5000 players is per server cluster. Not just one server, a cluster under the name of one server. The play area is going to be broken up, especially for the arena matches, and this will cut down on lag in any of the areas.

I didn't know Huxley was a MMOFPS! Anyway, sounds really interesting if they do it right. Sounds pretty sweet actually! I'll definitely get it for Xbox 360, because my comp have problems playing Solitaire 3D :lol:

i jus wait for that

Huxley sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to see how it will turn out. It could be really good, or it could turn out to be a complete disaster.

lol

just because previous games have had lag problems dosent mean that Huxley will, fact of the matter is they wouldnt be releasing this game if they hadnt developed methods of compression that could handle the data stream. Its funny that people are complaining about lag and the price of subscription. FFS the game isnt even on release you havent played it and there have been no indications of any of these problems even arising. Anyway! duh.... Huxley looks extremely promising and if the level design is good and the game feels balaced and plays well its definietely looking at scoring a huge fanbase. sound concept

Huxley=8)

sweet Wiki is not dead yet :P

This could potentially be a BF2 killer. I am stoked.

5,000 people per server lag fest.. The monthly price will probably be expensive

100v100?! How the hell u gonna know who to shoot, lol I suppose if they pull it off with a well polished game world and severs then it would be pretty sweet, just hope theres another way to pay for the monthly fees other than credit card for the 360 at least maybe MS points.

Its 5000 people per server, but travel to different battle zones and firefights will only be up to 100v100. Thats still gonna be one big gunfight.

I don't know if 5000 people is a lot for an MMO, but considering it's a FPS, it seems like it's a gamble. It really depends on how they do it. I read that they're planning to have 100 on 100 team matches. Halo 2 can handle 16 players, and depending on everyone's connection, the lag can get pretty bad.

Can't wait to play this on my 360. I hope the monthly fee isn't ridiculous.

cool huxley hope it doesnth ave too high sustem reqs tho

Huxley is set for this fall? I thought it was 2007 the earliest. Looks great.

Everyone who thinks that there won't be a monthy charge, you bet your sweet ass there will be. Do you know why companies make MMOs? because they can charge a monthly fee. They make a game that basically takes forever to complete even the most mundane tasks, to waste your time so that you have to play for at least a few months.

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huxley isnt revolutionary, it isnt a new concept. Its a FPS with lots of PvE. Sheesh, where was the fanfare when Planetside launched? That there was a trailblazer.

there will be monthly charges, no doubt. It shouldnt sence its "next gen" Im canceling my Matrix Online for this when it comes out. I hope I am not disapointed. I am getting it for the x360 because my comp would run Hoxley at 2 FPS......at the highest.

5000 isn't actually all that high for a MMO, but who cares, it's still 5000 people and X360 needs this stuff. I just hope it doesn't blow...and there better be no monthly charges.

My Response: 5,000 players in a single game world (hopfully, there isn't too much lag for this type of game.)

Huxley has been my most highly anticipated game since last year. I currently play PlanetSide, which is also an MMOFPS, and some of my friends in PS are also looking forward to Huxley. By the way, if you want to try PlanetSide for free, visit http://www.planetside.com

Huxley, don't let me down. I've been keeping track of every article of info on that game since it first showed itself on the web. I already have a clan setup and everything.. Just need to hear a release date and I'm off to reserve my copy for the PC.

wow, I heard about SUN a really long time ago

i want huxley....and i've seen mmo's have around 10k people a server....
